Pierre Laclede
Official Founder
of St. Louis, Mo.

st. Louis, Oct. "a dispute as b
who founded ST. Louis has been SET
tied, in the opinion of the Missoun
Historical Society. The society as.
serts Pierre Laclede, French fur trad.
er, was the founder.
Records of the Society show that
Laclede directed Auguste Chouteau
IA years old, to land on the site Of
the city. Chouteau with a party set
foot here Feb. IA, 1864, according TO
the records and Laclede arrived later
but was recognized as the founder
Recently a proposition to erect a
memorial for Chouteau was dis.
cussed. The historical society an.
nounced that Henri Chouteau, a d..
rect descendant of Chouteau and a
member of the society, offered to pay
the cost of the memorial provided
the monument would name Chouteaa
as the founder of the city. The offer
was declined.
Then the descendant had an In.
scription on the tombstone of Chou.
teau recut. The society declared the
original inscription gave the birth Of
Chouteau as 1850 and said he was
sent by Laclede. but in the recruiting
claimed that the date of birth was
changed to 1740. making Chouteau's
age when he arrived here "a and
making it appear Chouteau was the
founder.
Both sides in the controversy final.
ly agreed upon Father Lawrence j.
Kenny, professor of history at St
Louis University, as arbiter in the
matter.
Father Kenny, in his findings. yer.
flied the position of the society and
said authentic records show that
Chouteau's mother was born in 173'
and that if Chouteau was born IN
1740 as maintained by his descend
ants, his mother would have been
only seven years old when he was
born. The arbiter suggested thai
Chouteau be credited as a coworker
of Laclede.

pie of protection must, of necessity,
be greatly modified. unless some
method is devised that will permit a.
world trade of merchandise in and
out of our important ports of entry
without the delays and expense at
tendant on our present methods of
operation.
The problem of American ships
has been that, while we have mer-
chandise for export shipment, only
| too often it is necessary for the ships
to return in ballast.
Should the Jones bill become law,
our protection principle will be con-
served, because. otherwise, the be-

trade may, in course Of time, result
in a marked modification of our tar

Thinks Ter Meulen
Bond Scheme Will
Give Material Help

Los Angeles, Oct. 1.-THE Ter
Meulen Bond Scheme for the relief
of war-torn nations and new states
will melt frozen credits" allow
creditor nations to extend material
help, revive the productive power of
countries upset by the war and will
restore normal oversee trading, said
Sir d. Drummond Fraser, of London,
organizer of the plan for the League
of NATIONS. in an address delivered
here today before the American
Bankers Association. He empha-
sized the following points:
1t will awaken the dormant
confidence in the ability of importers
in war-stricken countries to pay
their way.
Governments may keep expendi-
lures within their revenue.
Revenue-producing assets Of bor-
rowing countries may be modified
for the purchase of essential imports
which in turn will restore the buying
power of those countries.
Lending countries OF which the
United States is the most important
may secure, with a collateral bond, a
safe outlet for exports.
The scheme does not attempt to
stabilize exchanges. These were
dislocated because war stocks were
replaced at excessive prices in GER
tain countries before the recovery of
their export trade. Conditions of
trade in these countries must be res
tored to normal. When they have
been restored the exchanges will take
care of themselves, he said.
Sir Drummond warned the bankers
that restriction of the credit of Euro
pean countries means an inevitable
shrinkage OF exports from the United
States or other creditor nations and
a continued stagnation of foreign
trade.
Sir Drummond suggested the for
nation of National Export Corpora
lions in each of the leading countries.
united States. England, France and
Italy and others, backed by a pro
rnta guarantee of the governments,
banks and other financial institutions
and said that such concerns if prop
erly managed should allow for nor
NAL foreign trade in as simple and
eHective manner as the banks now
handle domestic trade.
