United States Rubber Meeting

United States Rubber Company met
yesterday and, it is believed, deter
mined the dividend policy to be adopted
with respect to the preferred stock at
next Thursdays meeting of the Full
board. 1t is the concensus of opinion
in the Street that the per cent rate
will be maintained by declaration Of
the regular quarterly dividend Of 2
per cent. Several days ago drive was
attempted by traders against the stock,
and although it declined quickly, it
had quick recovery, which suggested
that there was no foundation for
rumors that unfavorable action might
be taken at next weeks meeting

City Would Speculate in Exchange

The financial district heard yester-
day that the municipality of Rio dc
Janeiro had received authorization to
United States. Bankers in touch with
the plans Of the Brazilian city said
that the proposed financing would be
undertaken to refund internal loans.
The idea is to take advantage of the
present depression of milreis, meas
ured in terms Of the dollar, in the ex-
pectation that when the suggested
loan natures the Brazilian unit of
currency will be nearer parity. In
other words, if the operation goes

YEARS DECLINE II TO 20 PC.
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 20.--A decrease OF
1 per cent from November Is to De-
cember 10, in the retail cost of food to
the average family, was shown in sta
tistics made public today by the Bu-
reau Of Labor Statistics Of the Depart
ment Of Labor, based on prices Of
forty three articles of food reported for
fifty one cities.
The cities showing a decrease OF ]
per cent or more included Cincinnati,
Columbus, indianapolis, Los Angeles,
Norfolk. Portland, Ore. st. Louis and
Salt Lake City, 3 per cent; Birming-
ham, Boston, Cleveland, Memphis,

San Francisco and. Seattle, 2 per cent /;
Baltimore, Bridgeport, Buffalo. Hous-
ton, Kansas City, Louisville, New Or
leans, Omaha. Philadelphia, Provi :
dence, st. Paul and Savannah, 1 per
cent. An increase of 1 per cent was
shown in Atlanta and Scranton, and
smaller increases In several other cities,
including Chicago. The decrease for the
year ending December 10 ranged from
90 per cent for Charleston, =. c., to ii
per cent for Scranton, Pa. The price
level at that date showed an increase
from 1893 ranging from Ga per cent for
Scranton to 33 per cent for Salt Lake
City.
There is no parallel In the records
Of the Bureau of Markets and Crop Es-
Inmates to the fall of S21 %, or 30 per
~ent. in the average value per acre OF
the ten crops constituting nine-tenths
of all crop production which occurred
in the two years from 1919 to 1871
The decline was found to have been
from S35.74 In 1919 to $14.52 In 1921.
The general trend of the average was
downward from about $14 an acre In
the years Immediately following the
Civil War to hardly So in 1896, the
lowest point in the industrial depres-
sion of that time. The average per acre
advanced to S16.40 in 1913 and re-
ported the peak" S35.74. in 1910.
The fall in average after 1919 was
more rapid than the ascent at the be-
ginning of the war, and even more rapid
than the ascent when this country be-
came a belligerent.

Honolulu, Jan. 2O.-(By A. P.)--
Prince Tokugawa. en- route homo from

dress here, compared hc-fcelings of the
Japanese delegates on the voyage to
Washington with present sentiments.
Referring to the tcmpestuous voyage
of the Kashima Maru, which brought
the japanese. delegation to America,
Prince Tokugowa said the stress and
storms Of chat voyage reflected the
doubts and misgivings Of the delegates.
Similarly the calm seas and delightful
weather of the return voyage. he said.
have reflected the sense of peace and
security felt by the returning mem
bers of the party.
'If the Conference had accomplished
no more than the Pacific treaty" Prince
Tokugawa said, at would have been no
small achicvamen ent But it did far more.
1t brought the Far Eastern question
nearer solution and demonstrated to the
world that Japan wants peace and not

Newspapers Enthusiastic After
Vote OF Confidence in Cham
Der Of Deputies
PRAISE BROWNS CRITICISM
BY the Associated Press

Paris, Jan. 20.-The Paris press is
nearly unanimous in It's praise of Pre-
mier Poincare, following his statement
Of policy iS the Chamber Of Deputies
last night, which resulted In a vote Of
confidence, 472 to 107.
The Figaro says:
:'Finally one has the feeling that
France has found government worthy
Of her,"
The other newspapers merely echo
this sentiment. It is hard to discover
criticism, or even reservation, in the
chorus Of praise. Gustave Tery alone
indulges in a little irony.
NJ. Poincare, he remarks, stigmatizes
Che Treaty of Versailles and claims to
have no share Of responsibility for It,
but his first observation on taking Office
vas "Tbis Treaty of Versailles IL
worthless and meaningless and from it
nothing can ever be gotten. Well, we
demand its rigorous integral applica-
tion, and we will 90 to war, IL necessary,
10 insure it. That is our whole policy
NJ. Terry observes:
= '"rhere is no use telling NJ. Poincare
chat there are, perhaps, other means
Of getting from Germany the repara-
lions due, that other arrangements have
been conceived to give us more prompt
and complete satisfaction. No, Mr..
Poincare has his brief-the Versailles
Ereaty-and he is going to plead It,"
The non political business press Is
also skeptical. Hyacinthe Philouze con-
rludes an article in the newspaper cable
gram:
Having by these vigorous and ma
tional declarations preserved himself
from the suspicious incorruptibles, NJ.
Poincare will proceed to come to an
understanding with London"

Premier Poincare, in his opening nd-
dress in the Chamber of Deputies last
evening. stated France insists on a
guarantee that Germany will not raise
the question of reparations of the treaty
Of Versailles at Genoa otherwise France
will abstain from attending the con-
ference.
Unofficial Americans here are assur-
ing the French that the United States
will not participate if France objects

French Government a belief that n
holds the success or failure Of the Genoa
meeting in its hands alone, through
control Of the American attitude.
Former Premier BRAND, sitting In
the Chamber as a Deputy, Interrupted
NJ. Poincare, stating it had been decided
at Cannes not to reopen the reparations
problem at Genoa. However, It is felt
that a successful outcome of the finan-
eial conference would mean a revision

intimating he was prepared to take any
necessary step toward enforcement. The
Premier did not reply when a Deputy
interrupted to ash IL France would take
sanctions and increase the military oc-
cupation of Germany alone, without the
Allies. If Germany should fail to meet

VI. Poincare said France wants n

stating either nation should aid the
other In war, and declaring against a

POPE BENEDICT HAS
HAD NOTABLE CAREER

Pope Benedict XIV, Giacomo della
Chiesa, was born in Genoa, November
], 1854, ofs a noble and aristocratic
family, and received his early educa
tion in the same city. He was orig
inally intended for the bar, and in 1875
took his Doctors degree in both civil
and canon law. His two brothers had
high rank In the royal Italian Navy, the
elder being Vice Admiral Giovanni An
tonic, who died within the last year or
two, and the other, Giulio, n retired
captain. When the future Pope de-
cided to dedicate himself to the service
of the Church, he took up his ecclesi-
astical studies at the Collegio Ponti-
ficio Capranica, one of the most famous
and venerable educational foundations
in Rome.
Later he made brilliant course Of
studies at the Academy of Noble
Ecclesiastics, the world-renowned
training school for the clergy who con-
duct the international concerns of the
universal Catholic Church. He was
ordained priest on May 2s, 1878. and
III iCDp bItO all HlII1 IT1NN
Chamberlain, with the title Of mon
signor. In 1887 he was appointed
secretary to the nuncio at Madrid.
Cardinal Rampolla, who was well
known as the right hand of Leo XIII
when that Pontiff summoned him to
home to be his secretary Of state.
At this same time the young mon =
signor was also brought back to Rome
by his own chief who thought so high
ly of his intellectual gifts that he had
the young man appointed under secre-
tary of state. It was n rare acknowl-
edgment Of his ability. From 1902 to
1907 Monsignor della Chiesa was also
canon of the Basilica of the Vatican
and member of many Roman congrega- =
tions.
Meantime Pope Leo had gone to his
reward, and Pope Plus Y had begun
to call on the services Of the distin-
guished prelate. When 1t was proposed
to send him as nuncio, or papal ambas-
sador, to Vienna, Monsignor della
Chiesa begged the Pope to let him re-
main a simple prelate. Plus y, how
ever, could not lose thus so valuable an
agent, and when the bishopric of Bo-
logna fell vacant, the monsignor be-
came Archbishop of that important and
dlmcult see In lOUi. seven years later
he was made Cardinal, and within the
next three months he was elected Pope,
On the first anniversary OF the out
Break of the great war, Pope Benedict
made powerful appeal to the rulers
of the belligerent European Powers
calling upon them In most solemn terms
to end the conflict. This plea for an
arranging Of aspirations" which was
only one Of many appeals issued from
the Vatican during the years of blood
shed, found cool reception in Britain
and Italy, which held that peace at
that time could benefit Germany alone.
In his allocution to the cardinals at
secret consistory, December q. 1915,
the Pope renewed his appeal and
throughout the succeeding years he was
insistent in devising ways and means
by Which hosttiities might be honora-
bly, terminated.
