Used Federal Funds
For Socialist;c Arms,
Is Charge Of Harding

New York, Feb. l0.-Charges that
Socialist forces which found a place
in the great war machine" of the
government took advantage of theit
opportunity to use federal funds fol-
socialistic aims were made by SEN
ator w. G. Harding, republican Of
Ohio in an address delivered be-
fore the Kings county republican
committee. Senator Harding de,
clared that these forces had in,
fluenced the administration and that
they had attempted to obtain hun
dreds of millions of dollars ostensi-
bly, for federal power development
when the real aim was nationalized d
coal mines and power plants
Attacking the administration for
alleged inefficiency and waste in its
conduct of the war, the speaker de-
clared that "out of the billions ex-
pended in dire necessity We have
the one real physical asset of a con-
structive program which will give
us 100000 tons of shipping, ample
for the greatest merchant marine
the world has ever known" Sen
ator Harding declared that these
ships must be put into the hands of
private enterprise.
II hope he continued. congress
or its agents will not sell at need
less sacrifice or on partial payments
delayed beyond the natural life of
a ship. Let them sell at their worth.
I do not like the subsidy which is
cloaked in the sacrificed selling

URGED BY THOMAS
Senator Declares Foreign Ex-
change Must Be Stabilized
and Gold and Silver
Ratio Re-eStab|ished.

Washington, Feb, l0,-Declarin2 g
that foreign exchange had become
the Sinister international problem
e,tnin the last six months, and un-
less adjusted soon commercial
,iiaos" would overwhelm interna-
,'onal trade, Senator Thomas, dem
ociat, Colorado, urged in speech
today the establishment of the
old ratio between gold and silver and
the creation of international BIZ
lnctalism.
"The time has come he said,

faces the problem OF establishing
and reconstructing her foreign trade
and would welcome any system of
international stabilizaton of silver
and gold values that could be accom-
plished without endangering the
financial structure of international
commerce CT credit.
Need to Steady Gold.
The slow but steady rise in the
value of silver during the war, in
spite OF efforts to prevent it, more
than restored the old equilibrium be-
tween gold and silver, he said, until
today gold is the cheaper metal, and
il, rather than silver, needs the
sleadying influence of an interna-
tional agreement.
The United States cannot coin
silver dollars today except at loss,
Senator Thomas said, and the con-
dition will soon apply as we'll to
fractional currency. On such a
basis, he declared, the coins will go
to the melting pot as fast as they
are made and inevitably precipitate
throughout the world a famine in
fractional currency unless the ratio
be adjusted by international agree
ment.
Too Much Paper Money.
The volume of paper money in
the world is out of all proportion
to the value of specie. he said. and
in this condition lies the seat of the
international exchange crisis. At
the beginning of the world war the
total paper money of the so princi-
pal nations of the world amounted
to about $7,000,000,000 he declared,
and in December, 1919. it had in
creased to more than $40,000,0 100000,
while the gold reserves of the same
countries had remained practically
stationary at around $1,000, 100000.
"We may, indeed we must" Sena-
tor Thomas added, lend our credit
TO those whose trade we need, but
we cannot. save by mutual agree
ment for the hxity of exchanges,
remove the gambling element from
International trade, stimulate inter
national confidence in modern cur
rency systems, make the problem of
dehation comparatively easv and re-
establish the regime of a saner and
more dependable monetary me

France Imports Few Nones.

Paris, Feb, l0.-An absolute bar
against imports of luxury into
France from America would have
little effect on the exchange mas
much as France imports virtually
little or no luxuries from the United
States, NJ. lie Chevalier, director OF
statistics for the ministry of com
merce declared to The Associated
Press.
"Here are the figures: see for
YOURSELF he said. "The figures of
the ministry of commerce show that
France during the first II months of
1919 imported from America goods
valued at 1881 100000 francs. ex-
porting to the United States in the
same period, 504,000,000 francs

American imports, out1sIc of

600 francs; machinery, 579,000.00O
francs, and automobiles and other
vehicles, 425,000,000 francs. Oil,
meat and other necessaries of life
make up the balance of imports
from America. Automobiles are the
only item in this table which might
be stopped and unless ban against
imports could reduce these figures
more than 1,0O0,000,000 francs it
would not be worth while intro
