 % Let the federal government create d finance corporation of some sort that will enable the people of other lands to obtain from Us the com modities they so greatly need but for which they are not able to make im- mediate payment. We believe such a corporation to be entirely feasible that it's mere creation would substantially help the situation
 B. The federal reserve board should be urged and authorized to advise all banks to adopt a liberal policy of renewals. The law authorizing six months credit on foreign paper should be literally con- strued and renewals for a like period should be freely granted wherever con sistent with other so1vency. The real wealth of the country is unimpaired. 1t would be a suicidal policy to destroy this wealth by pre-emptory call of loans.
 If necessary, the Congress should act at once to amend the federal reserve law so as to temporarily supply additional currency and afford more time in which to pay debtors in distress.
 We believe that the general adoption by individuals and by the government ot the policies herein suggested would not only afford material aid, but would at once supplant the gloom and the fear of the present with that confidence so vital to wholesome and successful business, " SESSION ENLIVENED
 The afternoons session was enlivened by expressions from two governors which reversed the ordinary political at titude of the traditional northern repub- lican and southern democrat
 Speaking on the subject of ''decentrali- zation of government functions and stressing the desirability of decentraliza- tion, Governor Carey of Wyoming de- plored what he called a growing neglect og states rights" The federal govern ment through certain activities, is re- tarding development, he declared.
 Immediately Governor Harding took the floor with the suggestion that all other republicans turn their faces to the wall, permitting our democratic friends to chucl1le."
 A few moments later Governor Parker of Louisiana, making a plea for farm laborers of the south, who, he said, had to compete with 19 cents a day syrup and vegetable oil manufacturers of Oriental countries, declared what was needed was protective import taxes"
 Governor Goodrich of Indiana arose.
 Tt would perhaps be in order for the democrats to turn their faces" he said.
 After the days session the governors and governors-elect were driven 16~ miles into the country for dinner as the guests

cepting the pledge made by the cham Der of commerce to pay the price asked for the coal terminal site, a commission of 8 business and professional men was named to devise plans for raising the money. That construction of the coal terminal will be under way in a brief period on Blakely Island was the ex- pressed belief of business men yesterday soon after plans were started for a transfer of the property deed from the railroad official.
 The first real work has already been started. The rivers and harbors engi- neers have announced that owners of the property have started the task of estab- fishing the boundaries of the site, which is transferred to business, interests. The property will be deeded to the business men, and without any unnecessary de- lay will be transferred under another document to the United States, which requires the donation of the coal termi- nal site. A survey party, composed of representatives of the United States, has started making a typographical survey of the terminal site and also a map showing the contour of the property.
 The first pledge of funds for payment of the purchase price came to the cham Der of commerce yesterday from Sam Zimmern of the Zimmern Coal company. MT. Zimmern will give 5000, and 1t was said he will be the first to hand a check to the committee when the call for funds is made
 Letting of contract for the making of tests to ascertain the kind of donations necessary for the mammoth terminal probably will be announced during the week by the federal engineers. Bids for the preliminary work have been filed, on request of the engineers. but awarding of the contract was postponed, pending final transfer of the coal terminal site Now that the property owners have ac- cepted the pledge from business inter ests, the government engineer IS s1- pected to act in short time

COUNTESS ON TRIAL

Dublin, December 2--At the royal bar
 racks the Countess Georgiana Markie-
 v-icz, member of Parliament for the St
 Patrick division of Dublin city, who was
 arrested two months ago, was tried by court-martial on charges of conspiring between January, 1918, and September, 1920, to organize a "Fianna Eireann,
 otherwise known as Sim Fein Boy Scouts.
 This organization has been charged with conspiracy to murder military po- lice, with unlawful drilling, the carrying of arms furnishing recruits to the Irish
 volunteers and generally promoting dis affection.
 The countess looked extremely i'll to- day. Newspaper photographers who took snapshots of the countess were held by the military escort, who confiscated the plates.
 The newspaper men were searched when they entered the barracks where the countess is being held. The countess
 today refused to recognize the court, and
 the session was occupied with the ex-
 animation of witnesses for the prosecu-
 ton. The proceedings were enlivened by the countess acting as interpreter for
 counsel, who frequently stumbled over
 the pronunciation of Irish names in the
 translation of documents he was reading.
