BELIEVE WORST or DEPRESSION IS PAST
INITIATIVE OF BUSINESS MEN NEEDED NOW

government departments engaged in
helping business is the war finance
corporation. Its direct function is the
facilitating of export trade by supply
ing credit under proper conditions.
Like every institution, the degree of
its efficiency is determined largely
by the personalities of the individuals
who direct il.
Think Energy Needed
The war finance corporation could
fulfill the requirements of the statute
which created it by merely sitting
still behind the counter of the treas
ury and maintaining readiness to ad-
vance money to properly equipped
applicants.
But it is the belief of the war fin
ance corporation that what is most
needed is energy and initiative on the
part of individual business men and
the directors of the corporation are
not content with waiting for applica-
tions for leans, but regard it as a part
of their function to stimulate initiative
on the part of business men and bank
ers in those sections of the country
where business is most depressed.
For example, one day last week the
war finance corporation advanced

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, July 13.-After it
had been pending before the bureau OF
war risk insurance for over year the
compensation claim of a disabled
former service man living at Rich
mond, Ind, had become so ensnarled
with red tape that the claimant dis
paired of ever having it adjudicated.
AS final recourse Colonel c. R.
Forbes, the new director of the bureau
was appealed to and urged to effect a
settlement of the claim. Within three
days the claim had been adjudicated
an award of compensation being made
in favor of the Richmond ex-soldier
and check covering payment of the
full amount due to him forwarded.
The incident aptly illustrates the
type of man who presides over a de
partment of the government upon
which hundreds of disabled former
service men or their dependents
residents Of the sixth district oil
Indiana look to for their support, en-
tirely or in part.
Il am running the bureau for the
disabled ex-service man. says Colonel
Forbes. Personally think no greater
or nobler responsibility could be
comrades as they served the govern
ment and their fellow-men."
Is Getting Speed.
That is his creed and he is practic
ing it. The bureau of war risk insur
ance as now organized is a cumber

MANY CITIZENS BUY
LIGHT PLANT BONDS
BEARING 6 Per CENT

Citizens of Richmond who are de-
sirous of making investments in bonds
are taking advantage of the open sale
of municipal electric light bonds that
is being conducted by City Controller
Bescher..
Last Saturday afternoon s207, 900
worth of bonds were offered for sale
by bids but none was received. This
automatically threw the whole quaint
ity upon the open market. Since that
time several citizens have taken ad-
vantage of this. Over 100000 worth
of the securities have been disposed
of, and Mr.. Bescher states that sew
eral people have been into his office
inquiring about the bonds.
The light plant bonds. as they are
generally designated, are six percent
non-taxable securities. They are
made up in $1,000 denominations.
Bonds Are Attractive.
City Attorney Keller states that the
bonds are absolutely secure having
been authorized by the state public
service commission, and approved by
various attorneys. The first date OF
maturity is Nov. l, 1925, and proper
tionately every year thereafter for 10
years. There is a clause in the bonds
which makes it possible for the city
to call in the certificates for payment
after Nov. l. 1925.
The city stands back of the bonds in
addition TO the million dollar light
plant, Mr.. Bescher states. He esti
mated that with the installation of the
new machinery that has been ordered
for the plant the valuation will be up
ward of $1,500,000.

OF NAVAL
STRENGTH wise STEP
FOR AMERICA, FOULKE

Calling of nations together for a
ment the aim, is an excellent and wise
step by this government, according
to the opinion of William Dudley
Foulke.
Mr.. Foulke has but recently re-
turned from an extended visit in
Europe, and is we'll acquainted with
the attitudes of the various foreign
powers regarding the disarmament
question.
81 do not believe France will con-
sent to reduce her armies" said Mr..
Foulke. And l do not blame her.
France is situated differently from
other countries. She must protect
herself from Germany, a country pos
sessing twice the power of France.
"As for naval limitation, l believe
the greatest good can be accomplish
ed by a conference between the Unit
ed States, Great Britain and Japan.
Some agreement between these coun-
tries should be reached. 1t would be
ruinous for Great Britain and America
to strive to out do each other in a
race to see which country could main
tain the largest sea force. America
does not need the naval strength OF
England for she does not have the
great territory to protect.
No Danger From Japan.
"a naval force sufficient to protect
America from Great Britain is all
that is needed. / do not believe Japan
wishes a war with America. There is
in my opinion no danger from that cen
ter
Mr.. Foulke stated that he believed
the standing army of America now
numbers the least America could per
NIT safely. He also said that he felt
! reasonably certain that Italy would
join in a movement toward the lin
itation of naval armament. 1t is il
the navy department that the grea'
expenditures are necessitated, &C
cording to Mr. Foulke. With the ex
pense of this department curtailed By
! limited armament. Mr.. Foulke be
/ lieves that one of the greatest step:
toward eliminating the great cost o
war preparation will be effcted. Solv
| ing of the armament problem, he be
| lieves, rests with an agreement OF
naval strength between America, Eng
land and Japan

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Irish
peace negotiations in London prompt
ed Senator Norris, Republican, Ne
braska, to ask postponment by the
foreign relations committee of sched-
uled hearings on his resolution for an
expression by congress sympathetic
to Irish Republican aspirations.
Senator Norris, who was a member
of the unofficial committee of 100 in
vestigating Irish conditions, express
ed hopes of "a durable settlement
which will give the Irish people the
full measure of self government for
which they are striving and put an
end to the war in Ireland"

British officials who have been
closely associated with Irish affairs

was thought possible that General j
c. SHUTS premier of the Union OF
South Africa, would play very def
mite role in the negotiations that
would take place.
Look to Smuts.
General Smuts has been considered
the man chiefly responsible for the
rapid development of peace moves in
Ireland, and late last week it was said
he might act as temporary chairman
of the coming conference.
Mr.. De Valera and his colleagues
spent the night at hotel, with
friends in this city last night. Dur
ing the evening there was a meeting
of Sim Fein sympathizers, at which
it is assumed the situation was quite
thoroughly canvassed.
