one Of number of distinguished men
from various countries, who nave
been invited to become members Of

\. j. Balfour who is presiding over

the names OF the men invited to be-
come members Of the committee TO
organize the permanent court, said:
Maybe, for one reason or another,
dr. Root may not deem it desirable

Mexico City. Feb. 13,-Consolida'
tion Of the war debts Of all nations
involved in the world conflict as
well as outstanding trade balances
which would provide international oh
.iigations guaranteed by all powers in
yolved. was advocated by John II.
\Arnold Of San Francisco, speaking
before the United States Mexican
trade conference here yesterday.
Mr.. Arnold, who is a representa-
tive OF American Bankers Assocla
tioi, urged that an lnicrnationql cleaI-
ing house BE- es rDlisheG as an ad.
'dnct to such plan.
lie declared an International bank.
ers' conference should be called i'm
medlately and trIt manufacturers
and commercial mon Cl all nations 20
invited to send representatives.. He
said such a conference should provide
measures for stahLardi2ing currency
and for the elimination of exchange
fluctuations, which would result in
the restoration of conference.
A spirited discussion followed Mr.
Arnold's address, resulting in the
adoption Of a motion for the appoint
ment Of a committee to draft an en-
dorsement of the speakers suggest
ions to be presented before the con.
ference on Friday.
"The United States today stands in
a sad and undesirable position, being
the worlds greatest creditor with
her customers bankrupt" declared
Mr. Arnold.
There is no question that all ma.
lions owing war debts will eventually
be able to pay with the exception
Of Germany, which can not pay in
full and must have her indemnity
obligations reduced. Tho big ques.
ton, at present is re.cstablishmcnt
xcf confidence and the equali2ing of
\ Exchange fluctuations. AS the worlds
leading creditor, the United States
must DO the logical thing and call a
creditors meeting, receive and an
alyze debtors statements, extend new
credits and give time and even re-
duce debts if necessary. An imme-
date meeting Of bankers throughout
the world should be held to study the
resources and liabilities Of all nations
concerned"
Il have reason to believe If the
United States should take the first
step, England would follow, after
which other nations would fall in
line. Each nation under this pro-
posed system would assume an indi'
vidual share OF the debt under q
taxing system which would be super
vised by an international commission.
"In addition / believe the United
States federal reserve system should
be internationalized under which the
Federal Reserve Bank could serve
the United States. the Bank OF Eng
land could operate for Great Britain
the Bank Of France could work for
France and the Reicsbank for Ger
many"
Mr.. Arnold predicted that unless ac-
ilon WAS taken immediately to restore
public confidence the world would
he ruled BY anarchy

Thousand Lights

Hair with thousand lights is per-
fectly clean and lustrous. 1t is hair
depr we'd of the sticky film caused by
the use of cheap shampoos, pastes,
emulsions and creams that take
away its lustre and life and cause it
to lose its color.
Shuco Shampoo is manufactured Of
the highest refined cocoanut and palm
oils perfectly saponiied and suspend
ed in solution. Two or three tea
spoonfuls applied to the wetted hair
and rubbed briskly changes into a
bushel of bubbling, sparkling, snowy
white lather that vanishes all dirt,
dust and dandruff and completely
rinses out. 1t leaves the hair per-
fectly clean and makes it fluffy and
loose, brilliant, velvety and wavy.
Your mirror will tell you why Shuco
Shampoo makes hair with thousand
lights. Easily obtainable at any good
drug store. adv
