A fellow named Hansen is under
federal arrest at Sioux City
charged with using the mails to
defraud. He sent out letters as
president of an alleged organiza-
ton allegedly formed to oppose the
Volstead act and bring back the
book and booze. 1t is estimated
that he took in possibly $4,000
at 25 cents in membership.

HOUSTON, Texas, Oct. 7.-Lieut.
Gov. Lynch Davidson today issued
o statement in which he suggested the
calling Of a special session of the
Texas legislature to enact legislation
preventing 'parades Of the Ku Klux
Klan. The lieutenant governor said
in his statement that every state Of

duly elected authorities and not by

who tar and feather women and

In his statement, the lieutenant
governor says:

Bankers in Final Session of
Forty-seventh Annual
Convention Optimistic
of the Future.
PREDICT INCOMING
TIDE BETTER DAYS
Domestic Trade Dependent on
Nations Export, st. Louis
Delegates Declares.

Los ANGELES, Oct. broad in
its optimism and saturated with pre-.
dctions that the golden crest. of pros.
perity is slowly, but with certainty,
approaching the United States on an
incoming tide of better times, the
forty-seventh annual convention of the
American Bankers Association enter
ed upon its final session today.
Domestic trade in the United States
is largely dependent upon the nation 5
export business, even though the vol
ume of manufactured goods sent
abroad may be comparatively small,
+. o. Watts President of the First
National Bank of st. Louis declared
today in an address at the meeting
of the Association.
Mr.. Watts, who was chairman of
the American Financial Delegation to
the international Chamber of Com
merce meeting in London last June,
said that while accurate figures were
not available. various estimates plac.
ed the volume of foreign trade at
about 10 per cent of Americas total
manufactured output. 1t would be
idle. he declared, TO suppose that if
this market was shut off domestic
trade would continue AT It's present
volume.
Not only, he said, lis a particu.
lar business which sells part of its
products abroad dependent upon this
foreign trade for its prosperity but
even other industries are affected by
the existence of a foreign market for
its products. Even though we export.
ed no food products, the agricultural
industry would be greatly affected by
the existence of a market abroad for
manufactured products inasmuch as
n foreign market for these manufac-
tured goods means an increased de.
mand for farm products on the part
of workers and those engaged in the
manufacturing business
The war, Mr.. Watts said. created
an unfortunate situation in that the
United States was suddenly called up
on by many nations for commodities
Of all kinds and there was little or
no effort expended in selling the pro-
ducts. Later, however, when all ma.
tons found themselves facing per.
iod of industrial depression. American
firms found themselves with an in.
creased product capacity without the
organization TO market their goods
abroad. In order TO overcome this
situation long term credits TO Europe
would be necessary.
Europe, he said, owes the United
States huge sums OF money and has
nj present neither n large supply OF
surplus goods for export nor gold with
which TO pay her debts.
Before there can be an exchange
of goods between the United States
and Europe" he continued. "or be.
tween Europe and other nations. raw
products must be imported into Eu.
rope by which she will be able to set
TO work her factories. Europe must
be granted long term credits in order
that she can secure these products
and create a surplus OF goods for eX-
port"
