NEW MORGAN UNDERTAKING

] The late J. P Morgan was accustomed
 to say that he was not a banker as that
 term is ordinarily understood, but was no more than a merchant. His business was to buy and sell securities and to deal in foreign exchange And he assumeA that this in it's fundamental aspects, was similar to the vocation of merchant or a manufacturer. This occupation did, however. lead him, almost force him, into participation in various organization and reorganization undertaking. and yet he looked upon these features of his busi- ness as in true sense the work of
 merchant.
 of the house which he established have formally entered upon the business of traders-chiefly international merchants They have established a department of the firm whose business it will be to buy and sell commodities Presu'Aably these operations being of international rather than exclusively of domestic character. Very likely the experience which this house gained when. in the first years of the war, it served as the agent of Great Britain. and to some extent France. es- pecially qualities it foE this- international trading undertaking. Tn that case how over, the house of J. P Morgan & Go. was not engaged in international-t trade for itself It was merely serving as the | agent in the United States and of France Today it is evident that there must be one perhaps any-organizations. financial lv strong, guided by the ablest ability whereby the international trade between the United States and other parts of the world may be facilitated. The abler men of business have realized for some time although the public has not realized it. that there was danger of the coming of chaos in international trade, that very serious problem has arisen due to the enormousness of the trade balance in favor of the United States created in the year 1919-not far from three billion dol lars-with no apparent ability on the part Of our foreign customers to lieuidate the greater part of this balance Some meaes must bep rovided by which this debt can be paid, and our foreign trade masl- tained and increased. The Morgan house apparently has undertaken to do its part in enabling Europe to buy of us and in securing the credit whereby payments can be made for the purchases of Amer ican commodities.
 What industrial Europe needs leaving out of consideration the imme ediate need of food is raw material. Without raw
 niateriai their industries cannot be r-- vived The greater part of the supply of raw material is in the United states. If these foreign industries are to be es- tablished and invigorated they must be able to buy raw material here And it is regarded as very encouraging that the Morgan house with it's ample resources, it's great experience and the brilliant buSi- ness ability which characterizes it should have pointed the way by means of which his can be done.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. Retail

Teachers Pay
Must Be Raised

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.More

lie high schools will be without prop
crly qualified teachers next Septem-
ber If the estimates Oh A. O: Neal Of
the United States Bureau Of Educa-
tion Of the Interior Department prove
to be correct.
The bureau recently conducted an
extensive inquiry among the high
schools of the country, and more than
NJ 900 high schools have written Of
their needs. Those schools now en-
ploy .65,857 teachers, and they will
require 1925 new teachers in the

Red Troops Do

PARIS, Aug. 3c.---The Poles con
tinue to advance along the East Prus
sian frontier. Notwithstanding al
! their efforts the Red conlmanders
havs failed to instill into the boIshe.
vik troops enough courage or energs
to resist the Poles, who after 4 few
hours Of almost desuItory fighting
took possession Of the Ossoyetz forts
opened passage across the Bobl
marshes and reached the Augustowe
lakes East Of the East Prussian from.
tier, thus gaining command Of the
whole southern side Of that frontier
as far as Augustowo.
The reds driven back BIZ tile line of
Augustowo-G -Grodno, are In d good de.
fensiye position, on account of the
forests and marshes which cover II,
Consequently ii ii difficult for the
Poles 70 attack frortally owing To the
nature Of the ground and the fact
that the fanks of the enemy rest on
the west on the German frontier and
on the east, on the Niemen river.
The soviet foxces are concentrating
in this region with the object Of stop
ping the Poles from extending their
line eastward for this purpose. The
Augustowo- -Grodno line constitutes a
flank position SO highly extolled by
the late Karl Clausewitz the German
master Of theoretical warefare.
Not Considered Serious.
This danger is not considered a se-
rious one in military circles where it
is said that to be Of any use, a flank
position must serve as base for an
offensive. The military observers as
sert that it is hard to see with what
success the soviets could be formed
for mass r,areuvre.. They say that
the bolshee sat present have availa-
BILE 10000 to 10000 men who escap-
ed from the battle~of Warsaw; but
Ghat little can be expected from the
interior Of Russia, where mutinies are
already reported among the troops
ordered to the front.
In addition they say that the Aug
ustowo-Gfodno position depends. for
Its communication On Viln&ras a cen
Yer, and that should the Poles come
to an agreement with the Lithuarians
the Russians Would be deprived Of this
line Of communication.

SOUTH AMERICA
GIVING MUCH OIL
Biologists Say That Bolivia is the
Promised Land for New
Oh Supply for
World.

South America, especially Bolivia,
is opening up as the promised land
of oil supply. Biologists say this
country is full Of petroleum beds.
The first step toward developing
the region has been taken by VII
liam Braden, an American engineer,
who has taken an option on 5.397,7
acres of oil land in southeastern
Bolivia. This, in addition to other oil
sources in Venezuela, Peru and other
sections of northern South America
now in process of development, is
expected to increase the importation
of oil by the United States to an
extent that would insure long
future supply.
The United States is drawing
heavily on imports now, although its
own fields could alone meet the do
'mestic demand for from 10 to Is
years, even if no new deposits were
discovered.
