To this end the bankers are working. The prob- lens in the way of making the neces- sary arrangements are very complex. Even Germany is looking to the United States for financial plan.
 It was learned that in one foreign loan recently negotiated in this coun- try a good part of the money was spent in Argentina for wheat. It was explained that this money afterward came back to the United States to pay for manufactured floods bought by South America. MT. Harding wants the benefit of Americas loans to be more direct to the farmer in the future.

 Approve Bankers' Move
 He believes first of all that the government is justified In approving a proposal of the socalled international bankers heavily to back Corporations and agencies formed to foster the ex- port trade of the United States through the extension of long term credits to the European countries in sore need of foodstuffs and raw mate rials. These foreign export concerns organized under the Edge act, havo not been successful thus far through want of sufficient capital. The confer ences in Washington the last few days with the most powerful banking inter ests of the country have had help for these concerns in mind.
 In consulting with the financiers, President Harding has had to face a number of problems which have had their difficult sides, politically as well as economically. The big bankers, men like J. P. Morgan and Charles H.. Sabin, of the Guaranty Trust company, and C. E. Mitchell of the National City bank of New York, have not hesitated to ask the President if it would be possible for the United States to guar antee the integrity of certain nations desirous of obtaining American loans.
 The President just as frankly told the bankers he felt that such a guar antee was impossible. There Is no doubt the proposal of the bankers had A suggestion of Article x about it that ghost of the repudiated league ot nations which seems so difficult to down.
 It was agreed at the White House conferences that the United States Is the only nation In the world capable of putting the world on its feet; capa- ble of furnishing the means to start trade and commerce again in channels that lead to normalcy; capable of making the necessary monetary ar engagements to bring international ex- change once more to nearly normal basis. Gold continues to pour into the United States and other nations have no means to buy it back, or to buy credits against it. Frozen credits" in the United States are giving away to frozen cash" which should be em- ployed in setting the wheels of world trade in motion.
 As to Double Interest
 The big bankers, with the help Of modified rules, or a modification or the law, which requires Federal Re- serve banks to charge double interest after their specified reserves are called upon, say tNey will have the necessary resources to float immense loans for foreign governments, but they would like for the limited States government to guarantee that the present order in Europe will be maintained. This as surance, the President could not give them. 1t is said. but it may be in the end that the bankers will be sat- sfied with the presence of an Ameri-

HARDING WANTS ID HELP THE AMERICAN
 FARMER AT ONCE
Believes In Export Trade of United States Through Ex- tension of Long-Term
 Credits to Europe
By ROBERT T. SMALL Special Correspondent of The Age-Herald Copyright, 1921, by The Age-Heraid)

Washington, May 28.-(Special.) In all of the important financial ne- gotiations which have marked the weekend in Washington, President Harding has showed determination that any assistance extended to for eign nation shall be predicated upon the quickest relief possible to the suffering agricultural interests of the United States. The wheat growers of the great northwestern granaries, the cotton planters of the south, the corn farmers of the plains states, and tillers of the soil in general, are foremost in the Presidents mind at the morsent, and he says that Ameri- ca's vast money resources, properly placed, can bring prosperity once more to the rural districts.

HEALTH OF SOUL.

There is a remarkable analogy be-
tween the physical and the spiritual
life of man. Conditions of health and
disease form a striking parallel. Four
are the principal requisites of physi-
cal health: eating, breathing, eXer-
cising and cleaning. All are necessary
for well-being; one of them wanting
is enough for causing ill-health.
Now, in order to maintain the di-
vine life OF the soul, we need the di-
vine food of the Holy Eucharist. AS
a mother imparts her substance to her
child for the development of nat
ural life similar to hers, so God gives
us His substance for the maintenance
of that life which, in a mysterious
sense, is participation of the divine
nature. Except you eat the flesh of
the Son of Man, and drink His blood,
you shall not have life in YOU"
But while eating is intermittent,
breathing must go on continually. The
breath of The soul is prayer by which
we inhale the actual graces that in
vigorate our spiritual life. And the
Apostle insists that we must pray
without ceasing. We live in an at
mosphere of heavenly graces, and they
are ours for the breathing. Prayer
draws them in.
Yet eating and breathing would not
be enough without exercising. Thus
the spiritual strength gained from the
Holy Eucharist and prayer must bios
som forth into deeds of love of God
and man. For mot everyone that says
Lord, Lord! will enter into the king
dom of heaven, but he that does the
will of my Father who is in heaven.
Finally, health demands frequent
cleansing, both interior and exterior.
For, however careful we are, poison
Gus germs will develop in the system
and pore-clogging dust will accumu-
late on the surface. Who must not
own up that this is the story of his
spiritual experience?
