The banks of the state have
weathered the Storm he continued
'.and there is a feeling of security

discuss the White House visit. but
other members Of the agricultural
bloc said il was their understand
ing that the president had indica-

Controversy Between

One Way or Other

Washington, Jan. after a
five-day New Years breathing
space the arms negotiations were
, resumed today with an impetus
that swept some of the most
Troublesome problems of the con-
ference almost to the point Of de-
cision.
Cppermost among the separate
discussions which appeared tonight
TO be approaching q conclusion was
the controversy between the Japa-
nese and Chinese over Shantung. 1t
! was indicated that tho converse
suons might end tomorrow, one way
Or the other. and that the predom-
| mating belief was that the resul,
| would be. an agreement rather than
a final deadlock.
a final agreement also was in
sight on the question Of a revised
Chimes. tariff. After q long argu-
ment the tariff subcommittee came
| together on a proposal to increase
China's tariff subjects under an in
teraational commission plan. and
1.-The Far Eastern committee of the
whole is expected to ratify the de-
cision tomorrow.
Among the naval experts SO
much progress was made with
technical details Of the naval limi-
tation rian that in some quarters 1t
was declared final disposition OF
the subject was only 4 question OF
hours. Precise regulations for
scrapping, ships and details of re-
placement were numbered among
the days agreements in the naval
subcommittee.
ON the question of submarine
regulations which has waited on
further advices from the. foreign
capitals. Japan contributed anoth-
| er etep towards decision by accept
ing in principle the. Root resolu-
tionS proposing. to outlaw the use
OF submarines against merchant

cept the propositions.

TRADE WAR
SHOULD Be

Chairman FL u II O f
Democratic Com

There Should Be IN
ternational Trade
Agreement

New York. Jan. 5-Early sum-
moning of an international trade
agreement conference to iron out
commercial differences which ne
declared were the root of most
modern warfare, was urged by Cor
dell Hull, chairman OF the Demo
cratic national committee. in an
address tonight at the Jackson day
dinner of the Tennessee society OF
New York.
During past years. he said, I'VE
have seen practiced with immun-
i,y all forms of tariff dsscrimina-
ton and aretaliation. "~eferentlal
right of entry Of ports, violations
of the open door, OF copyrights
trade marks, trade brands, wrong
ful interference With trade routes.
unfair utilization Of bounties, bo-
muses., subsidies, drawbacks and re-
bates, the economic and financial
violation of small, uncivilized alli-
ances. trade concession and other
preferences by special agreement.
Many of these are trouble making,
war breeding practices.
International steps have already
been taken in a measure to deal
with certain phases Of these dan
gerous practices and policies. 1t
is certain they can only be deal,
with and abolished by international
agreement.
The most feasible plan. he sug-
gested, would be adoption by all
nations of 1.-The most favored nation
doctrine in it's unconditional form. "
While such a program would call
for sacrifice by all nations of GER
tain profitable special arrangements
these would be cutweighed by ad-
yantages shared by all, he said.
Without referring directly to par
ty. Nj. HULL laid on the shoulders
Of the Republican administrators

ity for the present industrial con-
dition.

wonderful condition at the close

rine.
The nation was immensely pros
perous," he continued, I'VE had
become the centre Of the world fl
nance and commerce. We had no
imitation of currency and no un-
comfortable imitation of credit. The
other half of the world was starv-
ing for our surplus, every banker
and business man was then pre-
dieting for America an unpara!-
leled prosperity.
why then did this nation later
plunge over the economic preci-
5pice2 Why did every prediction
made during 1919 by our ablest
business men and .financiers for the
first time completely fail?"
The answer, he declared. was
that America failed to recognize
the necessity of extending credit to
stricken Europe until she could
get back on her feet.
Thus American foreign trade was
"choked to DEATH" and industrial
stagnation in the United States
was inevitable.
