BIENNIAL EXHIBIT ENDS
AT CORCORAN GALLERY
Closed While Permanent Collection,
Augmented by Purchases,
Is Being Arranged.

The eighth biennial exhibition Of
cotemporary American oil paintings
came TO an end with the closing Of
the Corcoran Gallery of Art at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The gal
lery will remain closed while the per-
nsanent collection, now augmented
by several purchases from the exhibl-
ton, is being put back in place. The
date of reopenins of the gallery to
visitors on the regular schedule will
be announced hereafter.
Thousands of visitors of all ages
thronged the spacious halls and
salons of the gallery yesterday after
noon to have a last glimpse of an ex-
hibition which is generally conceded
to be the best ever held here and one
of the best ever held in the United
States. The picture by William NJ.
Paxton, which won the popular ver-
dict and the Corcoran Gallery prize Of
5000. was the object of special atten-
tion. This picture will next go to the
approaching exhibition of the Penn
sylvania Academy of Fine Arts, at
Philadelphia.
Half an hour after the closing bell
had rung crews of gallery workmen
had started removing paintings from
the walls and Grating them prepara-
tory to shipment. BY this evening it
is expected that many dozens of the
entrants will have been started on
their return journeys. Private indi-
viduals purchased a number of the
pictures, according to gallery off,

URGES UTILIZATION
Of SURPLUS GOLD
Foreign Investment and
Loans Needed, Says U. S.
Section of High Commission.

Surplus stocks of gold in this coun-
try should be distributed and utilized
through investment in foreign channels,
according to statement on the effect
p Of exchanges on inter-American COM
merce, made pubic today by the United
States Section of the Inter- American
High Commission
The statement expressed the views of
the American section. Of which Secre-
tary Hoover is chairman, on the inter-
national exchange situation for the in
formation of the Latin American Sec
tons of the commission. interchange of
views having been arranged after a
meeting of all the national sections in
their various CAPITALS last month.
In the United States. the statement
declared. the situation was unfor-
tunate because the high premium on
American exchange has attracted
the gold flow of the world, resulting 6
in overstocking beyond currency
needs and surplus earning no in
terest and serving no useful pur-
pose.
Urges Investment Abroad.
The United States" the statement
sad. feels it to be to its own interest
that this gold should be utilized in
foreign channels. and also that it be
rediStributed. From an economic
point of view the method of utiliZa-
tiou is by the Investment of capital
abroad. The method of rediStribu-
ton should he through loans for re-
productive enterprise and by specific
gold loans to countries which are in
q position to undertake the reorgani-
Zation of their currencies on 4 gold
basis. The United States Section re-
CARDS it as mutually desirable and

profitable that capital investments
should be made in the other American
republics, where national credit rests
squarely on stability In the social
order"
Responsibility for the disordered
world exchange situation was attrib-
uted by the statement to dislocations
still existing in the whole tnterna-
ticnal economic structure and the de-
rangements of the international price
structure. The exchange situation.
the American section asserted, would
improve as the worlds economic re-
covery. especially in Europe, goes on,
and particularly as price distortions
disappear.
1t is impossible, the statement de-
clared. to disassociate inter-American
exchange relations from the European
relations, as the "European-A American
business fabric consists of a triangle,
one point resting in Europe and the
other two in North and South Amer
lea" So long as the European point
of the economic triangle remains un-
stable. the statement declared, sta
bilization of inter-American exchange
will be difficult.
Blames Unbalanced Budgets.
"A review of Europe's' situation"
the statement said, draws us to the
inevitable conclusion that there can
be no StabiliZation of exchange upon
any footing until there is a cessation
of imitation in the principal conti-
mental states. Initiation is the result
of unbalanced budgets, which them
selves are the result of the necessary
expenditures upon reconstruction, the
unsettled situation of German repa-
rationS. the maintenance of land ar
maments and increasing debts. The
disturbing forces are indeed predomi-
nantly European, and while Europe
has made great progress in aEricul-
tural. industrial, social and political
stability since the war. the fiscal sit
uation continues to disrupt exchange
with great severity"
No hope of stability in the worlds
exchange can be held out, the state
ment declared. until German repara-
tions are calculated ON a basis within
the practical power Of the German
people to pay and the reduction of
land armament on the continent of
Europe necessary for economic sta
bility has been affected

ASKS LIBERAL CARE
FOR EX-SOLDIERS

INDIANAPOLIS, July Shy Z.
P.)-The worst casualties suffered
by American soldiers during the
world war are just beginning to
show themselves, according TO G. ].
Harris an official Of the American
LegiOn's national headquarters here.
There il an average Of two ex-
soldiers suicides a day Harris de-
clared. These men, almost without
exception were In the battle-lines IN
France and returned TO the United
States with their nerves ragged from
their experiences.
These com bat soldiers, the legion
officials contends, showed no sign Of
"shell-shock." and were discharged
by army doctors as normal. with ap-
parently no III results from military
service. The strain OF fighting for
existence IS responsible for the in
creasing number OF suicides among
ex-sOldlers. Harris declared.
There are two ways IN which the
legion hopes 20 minister TO these
mental cases and 10 prevent their
increase. Harris said. The Langley
BILL now law provides S17, 900, 900
for the construction Of new hospi-
tails The larger portion OF this
money IS 20 be spent IN creating
facilities for treating the neuro-
psychiatrics. mental patients
The legion also IS preparing 70
petition congress TO liberalize the
present Sweet bill. This bill now.
makes It Impossible for an ex-sol-
der 10 obtain government treat
ment for war injuries which show
up more than two years after his
O. charge from military service. The
legion contends that Il might easily
be five years after an ex-soldier's
discharge before Injurious physical
and mental effects OF HIS service
would appear, and viii demand a
liberalization OF the bills provision.

tances and producing the most eff
hcient large-scale transportation
service ever known.
Tracks and Bridges.
To accommodate such trains, we
have rebuilt our tracks and bridges
20 sustain safely a greater traffic
burden than Is carried by the rail-
roads Of any other country. In
short, here in the United States we
have transformed railroad transpor-
tation from a small-scale, localized
service into a service Of national and
continental scope, playing an indis-
pensable part IN practically every ac-
tivity Of our people.
In the manufacturing Industries
It's counterpart is found in what we
call mass production" Mass pro-
ducuon is the distinguishing feature
Of American industry. and may just
" be regarded as the most import
ant source OF our national wealth,
because other nations have rivaled
Us, or are capable of rivaling us. IN
agricultural output But, in the eff
fcient production OF manufactured
articles IN great quantities, we stand
alone.
Now Il IS worth noting that before
we could have mass production IN In
dustry we had 20 have the equiva-
lent OF mass production IN transpor-
tation service. This IS true because
the basis OF large scale Industry IS
the assembling at one point OF i'm
mense quantities OF raw materials
from widely scattered sources. fol-
lowed by equally continuous and
prompt distribution Of the products.
It therefore follows that we had to
have the railroad capacity ready be-
fore our great mills and factories
could operate. and IN past years this
was invariably the rule. IL also ne
cessarily follows that II for any rea-
son railroad progress IN this country
should be permanently checked. the
progress Of our industry viii be
checked also. because the rate Of
production possible TO our industries
IS limited to the capacity Of the rail-
roads which serve them. Moreover.
our railroads have become one Of
the greatest employers Of labor and
one OF the chief purchasers Of the
products Of industry.

promises unfulhlled.
The first outstanding fact is that
our railroads. built, owned and op-
Grated by our citizens. have been
the pioneers in the country's devel-
opment. They and they alone made
possible the creation. within less
than three generations, OF the great
and populous inland empire OF Gull
ture and advancement west OF the
Alleghanies. Before the advent OF
railroads, American civilization and
settlement were chiefly confined 10
seacoast fringes. as IS largely the
case today in Australia where poll
tics and labor troubles have prevent
ed the construction OF adequate con-
tinental lines. a situation which, in
combination with unfavorable fea-
lures OF soil and climate, has re-
tarded the growth OF population.
II railroad building In this country
had merely followed the advance OF
settlement, our national progress
would have been very slow. But the
spirit OF the pioneer and adventurer
prevailed. and most Of our great sys-
TENS We're pushed far ahead OF the
country's actual needs. This made
possible a rapidity and permanence
IN the settlement and developments
OF the United States which has no
parallel in history.
Dependent on Roads.
The United States Is more depend
ent upon railroad transportation for
its existence than Is any other coun-
try In the world. This is a truth
whose Importance IS not as generally
grasped as II should be. but a mo-
ment's consideration viii make the
situation clear
The United States was fashion ed

point. IS a very brief period OF time
out Of absolutely raw material
We have created a civilization in
the interior OF this continent which
in some ways Is even more complex
than that Of Europe. end we have
done - almost entirely on the basis
OF railroad transportation az the
means OF holding Il together
Today with only SIX percent OF the
worlds population and five percen;
OF its land area the United States
has 100000 miles OF railroad lines
or between IS and 30 percent OF the
worlds working mileage. That
abundantly illustrates the relatively
great Importance TO rs Of rail trans
portation and our dependence upon
IL as the mechanical agency by which
the unity or our national life Is pre-
served. and swift and easy communi-
cation provided over our vast areas
OF mountain, valley. prairie and
desert
American railroads have led the
world IN the mechanical and techni-
cal advancement Of transportation.
The cir brake. modern automatic
signal systems. automatic couplings,
steel cars. vestibule trains. dining

toned among the notable Improve
ments brought 20 perfection by
American inventive genius.
Together WITH the present day

the heavy capacity freight car, car

combination OF the two has made
