former Premier Nitti of Italy, in the

Nitti is one statesman whose don't

"The antagonism, amounting almost
to hostility, with which every sugges-
tion of loans to Europe is received in
the United States is not only justifiable

ADVISE PUBLIC ELEVATORS
Federal Trade Commission Would Have
i{aiiEoads Operate Grain Terminate.

shington.-Legislati0 requiring
operation Of public terminal grain ele-
vators has been recommended to con-
gress by the federal trade commission
i'll report on terminal grain market
ing which also urged improved bank
ing facilities for the movement of grain
in the Northwest.
Elimination Of the financing of COM
mission houses by terminal elevators,
improvement in the methods of maxi
ing up cash quotations. and the elmin-
alton or reduction Of so-called insur-
ance charges levied on country ship
pers at Duluth, were among other
recommendations.
The commission was of the opinion
that grain merchandising on the part
of operators Of licensed public eleva-
tors appears to be contrary to sound
principles Of public warehousng, lead
ing to dissatisfaction on the part of
growers and mllers and to illfeeling
throughout the grain trade"
The commission recommended that
railroads be required to operate eleva-
tors for the convenience of their ship
pers. Restoration of normal situa-
ton, as regards the use of public stor.
age in the grain trade, the commission
asserted, would be so generally benefi-
cial to the trade and to the public as to
justify such legislation.
