CONFERENCE WILL
 NOT RELIEVE CHINA
Newspaper Believes Civil Strife
 May Prevent Such

Peking, Oct. 25. - The Tientsin newspaper, Ia Chun Shang Pao, be- lieves that with civil strife upsetting the country, China can hope for little benefit from the Pacific conference
 The ministry of foreign affairs has just established an investiga tion bureau for the purpose of gathering materials records and other docu- ments to be used at the Pacific con- ference in connection with China s case" says that paper.
 we believe this can do little to- ward attaining our object, for so long as China lacks the power essential to success, foreign powers will continue to look down upon her and treat her as an inferior; so that even if we have overwhelming evidence at our disposal to support our case, they will never take the trouble to go into it so as to render a decision in our favor. Under such circumstances it would be foolish to expect success.
 The all-importanti question today is to settle our domestic strife. When peace and order are restored. foreign CTS in our midst will not suffer from occasional disturbances and their min- isters and governments, seeing that China still has the ability to maintain order, will naturally treat us with re- spect, and the Japanese propaganda that China has noe the necessary ca- pacity to protect foreign life and property and that Japan Should be

appointed guardian over her, will ex- ,plode itself.
 If all this can be accomplished before the Pacific conference. we are not without ray of hope. If, how ever, we indulge in continual civil strife between one province and an- other we are simply furnishing evil dence to prove the truth of the Jap anese contention.
 For the peace of the Far East and the interests of their nationals for eign powers cannot but approve the internationalization of China and it IS perhaps not unlikely that they will charge Japan with the task of over seeing us. When this happens our sovereignty will be completely lost and what favor can we expect from the powers when we set forth all our evi- dence and records before them to support cur case?
 Let both the people and the gov ernment work to avoid this eventual ity.'

DULNESS CONTINUES
IN STEEL BUSINESS
Makers Requested to Hold Up
More Shipments.

There is no reflection in the steel In
dustry of the reported reopenins OF sew
eral industrial plants. particularly Ia the
automotive field according to the Iron
Trade Reuietc. Business continues very
small, that journal says. and instead of
receiving releases on orders which have
been held up by the purchasers, the steel
makers are receiving additional requests
to withhold shipments. The most notable
case of that kind. the Iron Age saye. is
that of the Ford Motor Company.
Current production of sheets by inde-
pendent mills" says the review, rs
placed at about 35 per cent. and OF steel
bars around 80 per cent wide margin
continues to separate the rate of produc-
tion of the independent works and those
of the Steel Corporation. with the latter
still at so to 80 per cent. and showing
some of the best records for sustained
output in their history"
Steel plates are the first article 70
break below the Steel Corporation's price
level, according to the Iron Age, which
says. How long the Steel Corporation
price level will be held is an uppermost
question. In the few tests that have
come the corporation has adhered to its
schedule, though on plates IN particular
other makers have quoted 2 so cents. rep

CALL MONEY FALLS
TO FOUR PER CENT.
Over Counter Rate Drops and
Renewals Are Made at z,
Followed by 6.

The official rate for call money loans
In the New York Stock Exchange were
yesterday per cent. for renewals, with
a subsequent decline to 6 per cent, but
the over the counter rate declined to as
low a point as per cent. A new fac
tor made Its appearance in ten day call
loans. which means fixed loan for ten
days. continuing on call thereafter. The
rate for that accommodation was 5 u
per cent. There was a small amount Of
time money put out for thirty days at
61a per cent. but the general time loan
rates were "a per cent. all industrial.
and per cent mixed collateral FOR
sixty and ninety days.
Although the 4 per cent rate for call
loans over the counter was spectacular,
bankers in touch with the money mar
ket pointed out that such rate had
little significance or influence. There
are outstanding approximately $780,
100000 of call loans used to finance the
markets here. OF that sum consider
ably more than 80 per cent carries the
renewal rate fixed by the Exchange at
Z per cent.
1t is stated that the call money turn
over in the Exchange is around s35. Co.,
900 to $40, 900. 900 and that SO per cent.
or more of that amount Is negotiated
at the renewal rate and the balance at
the rates quoted on the Exchange. which
were 6 per cent. at the minimum yester-
day.
Taken altogether, the 4, ~ and 0
per cent loans over the counter and the
ten day call loans at N per cent. rep
resent but a fraction inreation to the
total amount of funds loaned in the mar
ket here on call There is constant
contest between the desire Of member
banks to pay off borrowings from the
Reserve Bank. the rediscount rate on
commercial paper of which is still per
cent, and the supply of call loans. Any
permanent rate for call money much
below the rediscount figure Of 7 per cent.
bankers say, would cause liquidation at
the Reserve banks and a drying up of
the supply of call money for stock mar
ket and other market purposes.

LOANS PROPOSED
New Financing for Foreign
Governments in U. s. ls
Under Way.
S10O,OOO,OOO TO FRANCE
Negotiations Can Be Consum-
mated Now without Refer
ring to Washington.
s1OO,OOO,OOO TO FRANCE

Long deferred requests of foreign
Governments for loans In the United
States have crystallized into negotia-
tions for new financing which aggregate
5000. 900. 600. The three items Of foreign
financing nearest to consummation are
a loan of 800, 100000 to the French
Government, one of S25 900, 900 to the
Belgian Government and another of
$50, 100000 in the aggregate to the Swiss
Government Such loans can be con-
summated now by direct negotiation be-
tween the bankers and the foreign Gov
ernments concerned without reference
to Washington.
Other needs which have been taken
up informally are as follows: Norway,
150, 1000 900 kroner; Sac Paulo. sac 0oO.-
600: Chile, $2000O.000 to $25.000.000,
and Canada, $4,000. 900. The negotia-
tions which have received the most
attention in Wall Street are those be-
tween the French Government and local
bankers.
A representative Of the banking group
said yesterday that no formal proposal
has been received from the French
Government, but such step would
mark an almost immediate announce

known that there have been informal
discussions of French needs and that
comprehensive statements have been re-
ceived. Wall Street information had II
that the French loan would be an
nounced before. the end of this month,
but the sources were equally positive
that a Belgian loan of SIS. 100000 would
be floated within that period.
The plans for the Swiss Government
financing are In more definite shape
than those for the French or the Bel
gian loans, but 1t Is considered probable
that France would be allowed to have
precedence over the other activities.
The fresh stimulation to foreign loan
negotiations has been furnished by the
apparent trend toward easier money
conditions and by the appreciation In
market value Of outstanding foreign
government issues.

INDORSES EDGE LAW CONCERN
Julius H. Barnes Reports Keen In
terest In Middle West.

Julius Fl. Barnes, formerly director
of the United States Grain Corporation.
who recently arrived In New York from
the middle West. issued a statement
here yesterday afternoon indorsing the
new 100000, 900 Foreign Trade Financ-
ing Corporation and reporting keen in
terest In its development among the
business men Of the West Mr.. Barnes
laid In part:
When we see In our own country a
curplus of the products Of the farms and
Industries pressing for a market at
prices which represent distress and loss
and overseas a great vacuum Of human
want and need. we realize that between
those two ends there must be created
SON revolving agency to start flow of
that surplus to relieve that situation OF
total lack.
Il have found the business and agri-
cultural men of the West keeniy alive to
that fact and watching with the closest
interest the development of the Foreign
Trade Financing Corporation and the
War Finance Corporation as agencies
with potentiallties for their relief and
assistance.
I'm the long run their chief hope must
be In the former. The War Finance
Co poration may prove OF great assist
ce to them In the imm mediate situa-
tion. but II Is not an actual govern
mental agency or governmental agencies
alone that will solve permanently the
economic problems which press us to-
