THE UNwRIrTEN CHAPTER"

"Who was Haym SalomOn?"-is n
question asked not by Gentilcs only
but also by many jew born ald
educated in this country. Who, in
deed. was Haym Salomon?
"The Unwritten Chapter" now run
ming at the Astor Theatre. with Louis
Mum in the part of Haym Solomon,
the Polish-.Iewish immigrant who
came to this country four years be-
fore the Revolutionary War and who
ton personal efforts and energy. for
the cause of American liberty-is ni
adequate. answer to the question.
1t is praiscworthy enterprise on
most needed in these turbulent days
when every now and then people. with
un-American minds, are making at
trmpts to SOW hatred and suspicion
and cast aspersions on American
Jcwry.
1t may be n revelation to many il
the audience that it was Jew that
financed Columbus expedition. that it
was u Jew who supplied him with Eav-
igation instruments, Jew who frs:
sighted American land. a Jew who
first set foot on American soil.
As for uaym Solomon, the belief is
expressed by many an historian that
if not for his services to Washing
ton. there might not come into being
the United States of America. 1t will
suffice to quote eX-President Taffs
opinion of Solomon in this connection !:
."rhc jew who stood by Robert Nor
ris and financed the Revolution n
man WHO gave all he had, for he had
nothing when he died. He was en-
titled to the gratitude of the entir"
country"
Thus. the .'Unwritten Chapter" has
at last heen written by Samuel Ship
man and Victor Victor and brought
home to the public thru the excellent
acting of Louis Mann and his splen-

COTTON LETTER

market Cascd off TO the rendering of
cotton on January contracts, notices
for which were issued this morning.
About 800 bales here and about -
900 in New York.
1t is likely that the unfavorable
political news from India influenced
some selling.
Aside of that there were no de-

pears to De less bearish and disposed
10 assume bullish feeling in the spec
ulative markets in anticipation of
%rauuall yimprOVing trade conditions

Liquidation has been thorough in
lhc spr' U!aUNc markets and in manu-
iacturCd goods ana while stocks of
raw cotton in the interior are large,
much Of it has been hedeed with flu
lures anC the major portion is not for
sale except at prices materially high
CT than noW ruling.
The short interest in the cotton
market is probably the largest in many
years past and hedges are of extern
Sivc proportions. This interest will
rhavc - be- liquldated in time and will
/ likely commence with January.
/ Prices are thought to be at or near
the bottom and if the trade demand
improves after the holidays, as is ex-
pected. offerings of spots and futures
Will probably be light which would
be in favor Of market advancing
again.
The political situation in India re-
! ierred today in press advices is one
OF long standing due to after war de-
Volopments Of which every country is
affected and will likely improve even
tually - general conditions become
! normal.
Recent developments while unfa-
Torablc TO farmin gintercsts due to
the depreciation in commodity values
are considered blessing and the low
CT prices for raw material are favor
able for a resumption of favorable

today warned the senate finance

be seen that new sources Of revenue
must be sought to meet even current
requirements.
Mr.. Houston was called before the
committee TO discus the soldiers
bonus bill which. according TO esti-
mates. would require an outlay of
y 500, 100000. and he indicated that
the treasury would oppose any ac-
ton by congress that would tend to
open now drain on the treasury.
