FARM BUREAU
HEADEXPOUNDS
SHOALS OFFER
Gray Silver Declares Develop
ment Should Confer Greatest
Good at Smallest Cost.
BY Universal Service.

The difference between paying in.
terest forever on the nations water
power resources and amortizing
the interest rate until the charge
for power Is merely for upkeep
and depreciation is the way Gray
Silver, Washington representative
Of the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, views the Henry Ford Of
fer for Muscle Shoals.
Replying to a letter by Senator
Mckinley OF Illinois, member OF the
Senate Finance Committee, as pub
lished in the Congressional Record,
Silver says:
THE position Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation Is that
this development should be made
on a basis that will permit this
great resource to serve all our peo-
pie at the lowest possible cost and
in a way that will directly and in
directly benefit our entire people.
Based on Mr.. Ford's proposal.
the public uses it's own credit, not
to build a dam for Mr.. Ford. but
to build a dam for themselves be-
cause they never lose the title to
the dams or to any part of the
water power development. By this
use of their own credit they auto
matically reduce the cost Of the
power nearly one-half for the rea-
son, as you know from your own
association in public utility develop
ment, that interest Is 80 per cent
Of the cost Of developing hydro
electric power and the per cent
interest will average less than one
half the interest rate paid by pri-
vate hydro.electric developments in
floating their bonds.
You know, as we do, that II Mr..
Ford is to have any large amount Of
additional power over and above the
100000 primary horsepower, he
must build, at his own expense,
! Tennessee river to regulate the flow
of the river, and his engineers have
testified that 1t is his purpose to do
so. A conservative estimate Of the
amount required to be invested by
Mr.. Ford in these storage reservoirs
is in the neighborhood Of $50, 900, 900.
Mr.. Ford's guarantee to make
fertilizer Is absolute and not depend
ent upon a profit Of per cent on
the 4 per cent interest money, as you
state. To manufacture 10000 tons
of nitrogen and 10000 tons of
phosphoric acid would require the
use Of 200, 900 continuous horsepower,
which the contract provides is to be
the most economical source Of power
available. So that the entire con-
tinuous horsepower as set down by
you as available at Muscle Shoals,
is to be used by Mr.. Ford during the
entire lease period in the manufac-
ture Of fertilizer. with no profit on
the power, but at cost as a factor in
the production of fertilizer, on the
fair cost of producing which he Is
allowed a maximum profit Of s per
cent"

This was the statement Of Sydney

when asked today in regard to busi-
ness conditions overseas. He left this
country on May 30 and arrived in
New York September s, where he
spent some time visiting friends.
Mr.. Kaufman said that there was
much unemployment in the coun-
tries he visited and that the prices
of necessaries were high. AS for the
war debts owed the United States
by foreign countries, Mr.. Kaufman
said he Is of the opinion that most

The combined efforts of the De
partment of Commerce. trade groups,
and bar associations" says Mr.
Wolfe, ARE beginning to get results
In the form of a plan, worldwide in
its scope, providing for the enact
ment of a national law in this
country and for treaty arrangements
to make it effective abroad"
The commercial world" Mr.
Wolfe asserts, has hardly begun to
realize the significance Of the con
ferences held last fall under the de
partment's auspices, which were fol
lowed by energetic efforts by the
friends Of arbitration, including the
chamber of commerce of the State Of
New York and the United States
Chamber of Commerce. Endorsement
by the American Bar Association In
Its last convention of a Federal bill
to make arbitration contracts valid
and enforceable and Of a clause to
the same effect for the mutual recog
milton of such contracts by treaties
OF the United States with other
countries. has been one of the most
striking developments to date"
Sentiment Favorable.
Never, perhaps. in the history
OF commerce." says Mr.. Wolfe
has the feeling been so strong
that arbitration Is the true snlu
tion of difficulties arising between
honorable merchants both at home
and abroad" He attributes the re-
cent epidemic of cancellations as
the principal factor which has raj
lied so much support to the plan
he says the temptation to escape
the hazards Of contract by repudi.
atlng the contract itself or by seek.

been undermining the age-long fun,

In reviewing recent developments
Mr.. Wolfe said:
An arbitration law which per
mits merchants to agree to arbitrate
their differences and by which the
awards of arbitrators have the force
OF judicial verdicts, now exists in
the State of New York.
"A conference held in the Depart
ment of Commerce on November IS
1921, went on record as recognizing

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Stocks
were buoyant enough at the open
ing of the stock market in the new
week and bullish demonstrations
were staged in the same stocks that
have been leading the market dur
ing the past ten days. Brokerage
houses reported a fair accumulation
of buying orders over the week end
and sentiment was favorably affect
ed by the actual signing of the
anthracite peace and the waning Of
the railroad labor trouble.
United States Steel assumed its
old position Of leadership in>the buy
ing movement which featured the
first half hour, and was easily the
most active stock In the market.
Opening at 105 It rose fractionally
above that price and an enormous
volume Of trading took place be-
tween l05k and 1854. Though in
active, the other steel stocks were
firm, adding fractionally to their
selling prices, the equipment stocks
broke into new high ground, and a
small number OF the specialties, in
cluding Sears.Roebuck, sold at
better prices than at the previous
close. St. Paul common and pre-
ferred were the most active OF the
railroad stocks and big blocks were
sold at fractionally higher rates.
But II required only a short time
for the market to develop heaviness
and irregularity, and during the
second hour stocks were pressed for
sale at such a rate that first prices
in practically all OF the active specu-
lative stocks were shaded from a
fraction of a point to as much as
Baldwin, which opened at 1877. sold
off to 1854; Studebaker from l3lA
to 1904; American Woolen from l02
to 101; American Locomotive from
1877 to 1875; General Asphalt from
6S% to 81; Atlantic Coast Line from
124s to 1913.
Mexican Petroleum was the most
reactionary Of the active list. selling
down from 1872 to 1SSk. This stock
was sold on reports that the exports
Of Mexican oils during August total
ed only 1875 900 barrels, a decline
of 3,969, 900 from July and the small
est Of any month since July, 1920.
Liquidation in some Of the active
railroad. copper and industrial
stocks was in progress throughout
the morning sessions and prices in
these groups were not up to the
standard set by last weeks forward
movement.
