CRAIG ADVOCATES A
SHORT ROUTE TO THE SEA
fAssociated Pressl


Madison, Wis, Feb. TT this
country is not to be marooned, it must
have the short road to the sea, the
way of the st. Lawrence, Charles P.
Craig, executive director, Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater Asso-
citation, told the delegates to the mar
keting conference here today.
"Six months ago. the railroads were
staggering under a load they could
net move, third of last years wheat
crop was trying to get to market" ;"
said Mr.. Craig. "We have recovered
from the worst of that situation, but,
during that period we learned where
the weak points were, and something
about the limits of capacity.
"We know that one of the principal
difficulties is in the terminal facili-
ties of the Atlantic ports. There must
be increased port facilities. In the
port of New York, in order to provide
facilities to take care of the present
volume of business, the authorities
estimate that at least two hundred
million dollars must be spent. Prob
ably half that sum would create, and
equip, at least six of the chief lake
ports, and when the st. Lawrence Is
open, we win get larger increase OF
terminal capacity. for less money, by
developing lake ports, than we possib-
ly can by confning ourselves TO the
seaboard.
"But what will the railroads dc
when the next advance in production
comes? There is no more slack in the
system, no reserve capacity. We must
wait till the railroads can expand
Actually, we can get the st. Lawrence
open, and the lake ports running in
less time and at less cost, than the
port of New York alone can rebuilC
and newly equip its terminal system.
"The delivery of farm product'
from the far west has been prett.
well discouraged. 1t doesn't pay Il
ship a long distance. The rate ad
vance is reducing the railroad system
TO hauling commodities from 25 miles
say up to 500, with an extreme rang
of about 1000 miles. If you have +
go more than thousand miles b.
rail, unless your product is highl
concentrated, look out.
"Let me remind you that nowher
else in the world is there an attemp
to carry on extensive production NOR
than a thousand miles from the waite
base If this country is not to b
marooned, we must have the shol
road to the sea, and that viii be our
when, following natures hint, th
way of the st. Lawrence is opened"

LLOYD GEORGES SALARY
Is NOT LARGE ENOUGH

London, Jan 22--(Correspondenee
of the Associated Press).-The pre-
mier of Great Britain has hard time
of it trying to pay his bills ON salary
of 5000 a year and his pay ought to
be raised. says the former prime min
ister, Herbert Fl. Asquith. who ought
10 know for he occupied that position
for IL years.
As far as known, Mr.. David Lloyd
George has not asked for q raise in
pay but his remuneration has been the
subject of an inquiry conducted by q
committee Of parliament which also Is
examining into the salaries Of all the
British cabinet ministers
Mr.. Asquith told the committee that
the Office of the premier of Great Brit
ain is a very expensive one and his
duties can not be properly discharged
by an expenditure limited to that
amount The former prime minister
added, that he, himself, was a much
poorer man when he left Office than
when he entered it.
/ Mr.. Asquith explained that the pre-
n.ier had TO do a great deal of enter.
tanning and afford hospitality to al
sorts of conditions of people, both a
home and abroad but, under the ex'
isting arrangement he had 10 defray
this expense entirely at his own cost
Even if a government hospitality
fund should be provided for entertain
ing distinguished foreigners, Mr.. As
cuith was of the opinion that the pre-
nier's salary ought to be advanced
! Mr.. Asquith had few kind words Il
say about the privilege which the pre-
mier has of occupying the Official res
idence at 10 Downing street.

venient house in many ways; It re

self that any prime minister who Ia
experience of it as had would, If h
was offered the choice. rather not liv

The salary of the premier of Gres
Britain at present rate of exchange
equivalent to $19,250. This compare
with a salary of SIS, 700 and $500

Urges States To Gre a te Balances
 To Aid Commerce
rRepubIIcan A. P. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Action by the banks of issue of the principal countries looking toward currency reform has been suggested by Secre- tary Hoover, according to the month ly bulletin issued tonight by the Fed eral Reserve Board which contains a letter from him to Sir Drummond Fraser of England, referring to the ter meulen plan.
 Economic recovery of the states in letter said, and consequently a con siderable portion of American and world commerce, was dependent upon each state erecting balance in taxa ton and expenditure, currency reor- ganization and stabilization, wise control Of their exports and imports and credits for reproductive purposes.
 ''It is hopeless,' he said, ito expect private capital will extend credits for exports to these states upon any sys- tematic basis until the first three have been complied with
 The ter meulen plan which pro- poses to facilitate credits for exports by the ordinary processes of business free from political action, he declared, should act as a great pressure to secure the three primary reforms.
 T have the feeling. however" he added. that something more is need- ed than export credits to those coun- tries if the three primary reforms are to be accomplished, i. e., some assis- tance must needs be found for these states in credit for purposes directly of currency reform

There have been points on which we have not always agreed as to procedure, but we have conferred together always with the view of harmonizing them, and this we have done." He said the resigna- tions through dissatisfaction with the program must not be confused with possible departure of Chinese off | cials through the need of cutting l down the size of the delegation be- | cause of insufficient funds.

ST. JOHNS, N. F, Dec. 1-Eighteen lives are known to have been lost fin the terrific northwest storm off the Newfoundland coast that swept a score of vessels from the sea Mon day and Tuesday. Details were slow ly Altering into this port tonight due to the demoralization of wires. but it was believed property damage along the coast would total s250.00o.
 Nine men. a woman and child nre reported to have gone down with the schooner Passport at Bay Verde. The schooner Jean and Mary departed from her tug, the D. P. Ingrahan. near Penguin Island and was lost with her crew of seven. The tug. which was a United States gun boat in the Civil war. was driven on the island near the light house and be- came total wreck, but her crew was saved.

 Wreckage of ships laden with food stuffs for Northern settlements strews the coast at Conception Bay. Five fishing vessels are known to have been smashed to pieces
 Charles Moore. master of the In- graham. brought in the first de- tails of the storm today. His vessel after losing the Jean and Mary. was blown across Hamilton Sound to the Light House at Penguin Island where she became a total wreck. The gale | struck the vessels during a blindine snow storm, he said. Deck house: went by the board. running lights were smashed and the tow line wa: snapped.

OFFICIAL ENGLAND REJOICING OvER SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION
 IF IRISH PEACE NEGOTIATIONS

Dublin and Belfast for the consid- eration of the treaty.
 Eamonn de Vale.a has given no hint of his attitude. but it is gener- ally assumed that the treaty will be approved, at least in principle. Oppo- sition seems to be expected from the extremists both in Dublin and Bel fast from the extreme Sin Feiners on account of the terms of the oath of allegiance, and from the extreme north of Ireland men against the provision that Uuster must submit to rectification of her boundaries if she elects to stay outside the settlement.
 Sir James Craig. Ulster premier. in a speech in the Belfast parliament today. guarded himself against any direct opposition to the settlement. But in a statement sent to a political meeting he took a sanguine view that peace would soon be achieved, and represented as victory for Ulster the freedom of choice accorded her by the treaty.
 It is believed Ulster will not at first sen6 representatives to the all- Ireland parliament but will wait to see the effect of -he new regime be- fore deciding on her course.

WHEAT PRICES SLUMP
 AS RESULT OF HEAVY TRADING IN FUTURES
raepubllcan A. p. Leased wirel

CHICAGO, Dec. 7-Fresh declines in wheat took place today largely as a result of lack of demand for cash wheat. The market closed unsettled 1 to 1s. cents net lower. with May s1.11h to S1.11H and July s1-o1 to s1.011S. Corn finished A c 2sc off to E cent advance, oats unchanged to A 6ss cent down and provisions unchanged to a setback of 10 cents.
 Weakness in wheat was especially noticeable in the last half hour when selling of futures became general because of the cash trade situation, red wheat premiums here being five to seven cents lower and car of No. 1 Northern selling at 10 cents over December as against IT cents pre- mium the lase previous sale.
 Meanwhile Kansas mills were re- ported to be selling cash wheat be- cause of the poorness of flour trade and Minneapolis mills were repre- scented as selling December wheat at Kansas City. Such news had dis uraging effect on longs and they unloaded in competition with pit bears. Talk of bigs bank failure in South Germany counted also as depressing factor. Word of some ex- port business at the Gulf of Mexico appeared to count but little as an offset. Profit taking by shorts, how ever, gave the market something of rally at the last.
 Corn was relatively firm owing tc export demand here and at rural points, Oats were dull and inclined to sag with wheat.

Goes To Confer On Payments To Be Due
 From Germany Soon

PARIS, Dec. 7-Accompanied by several French financial experts, Louis Toucheur, minister of liberated regions, left tonight for London to confer with Sir Robert s. Horne, the chancellor of the exchequer, on the separations payments due by Ger many in January and February.
 It was pointed out there that the chief purpose of the visit is to try and reach an accord with Great Brit ain on the future reparations policy. It was made clear that the minister was going at the invitation of the British government which is anxious to have the two countries in agree- ment so that a solid front may be es- abolished in readiness for the moment when the reparationss payments are brought into open discussion by any request which Germany may make.

Problems of China or other portions of the Asiatic mainland are not to be touched by the proposed treaty. nor will it contain provisions relat- ing to Pacific Notifications or the naval reduction program It is pos sible, however, that all of those ques- tions may come simultaneously to the point of a decision. By the Amer ican delegates. the project is regard ed as establishing neither an alli- ance nor an entente, but merely as applying to the Pacific islands the principle of the thirty odd Bryan peace treaties to which the United States is a party. A public state ment setting forth that position prob ably will be made in the near future by Secretary Hughes.
 American Leader Optimistic
 For the present the authorized American spokesmen prefer to say nothing about their conversations which have been proceeding behind the curtain of executive sessions" Apparently the negotiations have been kept within a narrow circle centering in the ~big three"-Hughes. Balfour and Kato.
 An evidence of the optimism with which high American officials view the general situation in the confer ence was given today however by President Harding, who declared in an address that the negotiations promised ito succeed beyond our fondest hopes.' He predicted that the conference would usher in a new day in international amity.
 All outward indications point to a merging of the Pacific questions with the naval ration problem so far as the final decisions of some foreign nations are concerned. No reply from Tol1io regarding the naval plan is expected until the Japanese govern ment is ready to make some express sion on the four power proposal. It is possible that in the final anal ysis the questions of Shantung and China generally may also become in- terwoyen in the general scheme be- fore a definite settlement is reached.
 Thus. it would not surprise close observers if the whole range of con troversies were gathered under one understanding, to be translated then into several formal instruments of agreement.
 Both Japanese and Chinese reflect ed optimism over the Shantung nego- tiations tonight after another meet ing in which Japan offered to give up the public property in the leased territory of Kiao-Chow as another step toward meeting China's po- sition. In the committee of the nine nations, a resolution was adopted
