The exnort crodi5 scheme. He declared
it was obvious that neither the exporter
nor the importer could build upon an
acrobatic basis Of exchange. If trade
was to be started up again at all, there
must be the element OF risk, but that
the Govt. had concluded that the RISK
was much greater by standing still ana
doing not ing. But the Govt, proposed
to raise the guarantee TO traders from
$50 to lO0W and to fix a maximum 1or
each firm, to be determined by an advIs-
orv committee. He said the first pro-
posal of the export credit scheme was
that it should apply to countries whose
credit was practically destroyed by the
war, but that it was now proposed TO
extend it to other countries, including
those OF the British Empire. Large
engineering orders for the renewal OF
transport facilities in countries whose
credit was practically destroyed by the
war were now available, if Great Britain
was prepared to give an extension OF
ere dit for repayment. He said the Govt.
had decided that it could extend this
credit for five or seven years. Touching
another phase of the situation, the Prime
Minister said the cost OF production was
too high and that a second difficulty was
that of raising capital for some enter
prises. He declared that the Govt. pro
posed to assume power, on certain condlo
tons, to guarantee the payment OF
interest on loans to the amount of
Is. 900, 900 pounds for the purposes OF
CARRYING out capital undertakings pro-
viding employment, or for the purchase
of materials for manufacture. n GOVT;

Court from collecting rents under rne

Auditor Ray l.. Smith and Paymas-

why the injunction should not be MADE

Gov. Morrow has issued a Christmas
message to the employees of the Canal
Zone Administration, in which he states
his willingness to confer with the men
affected by the new rent charges.
1T is the belief Of the administration"
says the message, "that the charges are
proper. but officials have no objection TO
a full discussion OF this or any situation
affecting employees. nor are they op-
posed to legitimate appeal to the au-

inquiries instituted as a result of that
testimony before making any decisions.

ventured to point out the very great Inn

with them.
Officers of tho Marins Corps going
to Hayti should understand that In order
fully to discharge their duty to the
United States and to deserve the COM
mission OF their euperiors they must
consider the dual responsibility OF their
duty. They should be selected not only
because OF their capacity to command
troops, but to command them In Hayt
and among the Haytian people.
Conversely the most Intelligent and
active elements Of the Haytian people
must appreciate that since American
forces are to continue in Hayti for tho
maintenance of peace, and that since
under the existing treaty American Off
cials are to remain to help the Haytian
Government to carry out necessary re-
form, the greatest measure of service to
Hayti, with the smallest possible degree

Retention of the small American
force OF marines now in Haiti as
necessary for the peace and develop
ment Of that republic, the appoint
ment Of a high commissioner as the
representative Of the President and
the granting of a new loan are some
OF the recommendations made by the
special Senate committee appointed to
Investigate conditions in Haiti.
After the committee had conferred
with Secretary Hughes of the State
Department and Secretary DENLY OF
the Navy Department, Senator Nc
Cormicll (Ill.), chairman Of the spe-
cial committee which has Just re-
turned from Haiti, gave out state
ment tonight summarizing the views
of the committee.
The report says that there can be no
abrogation of the treaty OF 1915 at this
time, as the marines there are necessary
as are the American officials appointed
under the treaty.
To coordinate the labors OF the repre-
sentatives OF the United States Govern
rnent in Hayti and the American treaty
officials the Senate committee feels that
g high commissioner, as the envoy of the
President, should be appointed. vested
with tho usual diplomatic powers In
their judgment the high commissioner
among other things should supervise the
work of the American officials and the
commandant Of the marine brigade.
The committee also suggests that one
person should perform the duties of the
financial adviser and tho collector Of
customs.
