u. S. Is Losing Much
South American Trade

SOUTH BEND, Ind, June i8.-A warning against loss OF
South American trade through depreciation of monetary
values given American business men in statement issued
here by F. OHara dean of the department OF COM
merce Notre Dame University.
He called particular attention to the steady decrease
Argentine exchange. .,
The effect of the phenomenal loss in value of South
American moneys that South American merchants are unable
to buy goods the United States to for goods previously
purchased in good faih,' said Rev. O'Hara
Such goods have mounted in custom houses South
America to an and foreign commercial rivals of
the United States taking advantage of this situation to spread
propa ganda against American interests.
These European rivals have spread the fabrication that the
United States having assumed financial supremacy of the world
taking advantage of the situation to beat down the exchanges
other countries This explanation not only absurd but
likewise it is dishonest"
The real explanation, the dean said that European
counts especially English banking houses have put off their
to American firms by buying dollar acceptance in the
South American market These transfers of funds credits
from South America to the United States he added resulted in
depreciation of the South American exchange rate.
"There is nothing dishonest about this process by which
depreciation of exchange is brought about is simply good
banking business and the British exchange bankers be given
credit for taking advantage the situation he added GLOW
ever is working terrific harm to American interests in South
America"
The dean declared the only remedy the balancing OF
trade between the United States and nations

LONDON. Jhne 1s.-Lady Di-

dressed with a small fringe, was
the subject of an animated discus
sion at a recent social gathering,
says writer in the London
Chronicle.
Shall we all wear frinpes
soon?' was the question every wo-
man asked.
The cult Of the fringe started
in France, and nowadays one or
two fringes are certain to be
found in any London social assem-
bly, of note. The fashionable
fringe of the moment, according
to court hairdresser, is straight.

HOT SPRINGS. Va, June 1s.--
Abandonment of governmental pa

naturalization of public utilities, 8
and the restoration OF conf,dence
at home and expansion of markets
abroad through the extension and
cultivation of credits" were among
remedies advanced here today for
the Improvement of business by
Senator Walter 4. Edge, of New
Jersey, In q speech to the Virginia
Bankers Association.
Edges recommendations included
Immediate consideration by the Sen

tar. reduction of the present sur
taxes, 'deflation of the present false
economic value Of the individual"
carly enactment OF permanent
tariff law establishing ranges lower

announcement of a policy opposed
to further legislation to loan money
of all the taxpayers for the benefit
of a few favored classes" and the
cessation Of further legislation "ar-
bitrarily to establish or maintain
artificial prices for the benefit OF
any class of producers or particular
commodities or necessities"
"A government should stimulate
and lead--not follow the mob mere

do believe q government can be too
responsive to undigested or unde-
veloped public clamor and thus
sponsor unwise legislation which is
economically or otherwise unsound--
Edge laid stress on the ''impera-
tive necessity for the deflation OF
the present inflated economic value
Of the Individual" and declared that
labor must submit to the same "pro-
portionate reduction of wages that
has been made in the prices of ne
cessities and other commodities
The difficulty OF this personal de-
nation.- he said, has been incress-
ed by a large class of the popu-
lation, who have enjoyed this arti-
fiicial high standard for few years,
being naturally reluctant to return
to the standard of normalcy where
they actually will be better OF.
Every man wants the price of every
commodity to come down, except the

purpose of causing recovery in the

so that the farmers can again buy
normal supplies from the factories,
and thereby provide full employment
for wage earners; or of getting
building costs and transportation
down to level which will stimulate
a general revival in new construc-
ticn work.
President Harding has Initiated a
series of dinners with bankers and
business men to discuss the proper
policy. II is difficult problem

conspicuous reduction In wages in
