Our Weekly Letter
From Washington
(By James A. Frear, NJ. c.

Notwithstanding the proposal to
! Put through the committee an abso..
lutte power lodged in the Secretary OF
the Treasury alone to settle all for
eign indebtness that reaches over $il,
900, 100000 without restraint or re-
striction, the writer's insistence for
commission and certain restrictions,
some of which were agreed TO by Sec
rotary Mellon before the committee,
will be adopted and protective meas
ures thrown around these settle
ments. Several leading European
statesman have strenously contended
that the war obligations should be
cancelled and that the United States
by setting the example of relieving
her debtor nations would enable those
governments in turn to reduce repara-
tions demanded from the vanqulshed.
In like manner, several great finan-
ciers in this country, as will be
shown during discussion of the bill.
are also in sympathy with canceila-
ton of these foreign obligations so
that the danger of leaving the decis-
ion in the hands of one man. however
strong he may be is matter of vital
importance. Congratulations have
come to the writer because of the ac-
ceptance by the committee of the
plan to appoint commission. That
will probably be confirmed by the
Senate with restrictions as to its pow
ers in the negotiations that are to be
lad. At first it was proposed to rush
the Secretary of the Treasurv's bill
through the committee and through
the House with little, if any, discus
sion but protests in the committee
prevented such action and a substi-
tute will be reported giving absolute
power to the Secretay of the Treasury

this country with view of finding
out whether it would pay them to en-
ter the retail end of the oil game
Figures which they have been able to
obtain from reliable sources have
convinced them that neat profit is
to be made from an investment in the
Retail Oil Business, and they have
organized local stock company for
the purpose of retailing gasoline,
kerosene and lubricating oils in River
Falls ard vicinity.
TIE local company will be known as
the Inter-County Oil Company, and
vii be financed entirely by local
capital. Stock in this company will
be offered for sale in limited ans UNITS
as soon as the company is ready to
commence business, and an arrange
ment made whereby stock holders will
receive a cash discount on purchase
made in addition to receiving div.d-
end yearly on their stock. This
should prove an attractive feature Co
flrmers especially, as it will enable
them to buy in barrel lots at quite a
reduction from the market price.
Until very recently the Standard
Oil Co.. and one or two other large
concerns have had a practical monop-
DIV on the oil business. Lately, how
ever. with the opening of many new
oil fields, independent refining COM
panies have sprung into existence.
The difference in the price at which
oil can be purchased at the oil fields
and the current retail price in River
Falls. caves a margin which will per-
nit the paying of freight, and other
necessary charges, and still leave a
good profit for the retailer.
1t is the plan of the organizers OF
the Inter-County Oil Company, &c
purcase direct from the refineries,
and to sell at retail at the same rate
as does the Standard Oil Co., an
other large retailers. Stakeholder
of the company will receive discount
from these prices as stated before.
This will serve to gain the interest
and cooperation OF the users of oil
products in this community and ought
to start the local company off with
good boost.

Rivers as Always.

Just so long as we lack suitable
airways and airdromes, it appears
that the safest practice is to follow
our leading waterways, such as rivers,
canals, lakes. coast lines, and so on, u.s.
ing seaplanes for the purpose. In
this manner a pilot can always make
a relatively safe landing, as compared
with the airplane pilot flying over
rough country devoid Of landing fields.

ways have been surveyed with this
object In mind.-Scientific American

to any reductions he might see fit to
make in the amount due. This power
will not be conferred by the House
and presumably the Senate bill will
await passage of the House bill, but
as eventually passed it will provide
for commission instead of one sin
gle individual to make settlements.
Restrictions will compel such limita-
tions of power according to propos-
ais offered by the writer which will
probably be adopted.
