PROMISING
Return of Prosperity
Indicated by Rise
In Quotations Says
Banker
By Charles B. Farmer


New York, March 21-Americt
Is facing period OF prosperity
because Of rising prices Of farm
products, improved credit condi.
tions and betterment of the inter.
national exchange rates, John Nc
Hugh, president of the Mechanics
and Metal National Bank, declar-
ed today in an exclusive inter
view.
In this, the first statement that
Mr.. McHugh has made to the
press, he said that he felt very
hopeful about business condi-
tions.
"We have passed many troubles
within the past few months" he
explained. We still have ad-
justments to make, but the future
looks bright. OF course, we shall
not rush into prosperity immed-
lately, as many persons are in
clIned to believe. But | think
that a period Of prosperity is ap-
preaching.
"Most Substantial Factor"
"The most substantial factor
contributing to my opinion is
found in the rising prices Of farm
products, especially OF corn and
hogs. Rising prices are making
the farmer forget his troubles
He now is ready to buy more free
ly, and this will insure an in
creased industrial activity and a
free movement of products over
the railroads, and that will aid
the transportation facilities in
general.
After all, prosperity rolls along
like a SNOWFALL" he illustrated.
1T increases in size as it gains
momentum.
Mr.. McHugh feels that the
credit situation has improved
greatly and that the banking sit
uation is thoroughly sound. He
said that the business interests
had safely passed a severe period.
"The recent increased number
OF business failures is an indica-
tion OF past conditions, not OF
present ones" he declared. The
fact that many concerns reached
the right time when they could
liquidate with the smallest posi-
Bile loss showed that readjust- |
ments were being made safely.
Promise Of Improvement.
Those failures really may be
taken as a negative promise of
improvement in the present and
future" he added.
Mr.. McHugh sees in the better
ment of the international ex-
change rates a pronounced sign Of
world improvement.
THAT betterment relieves I'M
porters of foreign countries from
paying the heavy premiums which
formerly paralyzed international
trade" he continued. "Of course,
1t gives us a larger field in which
to sell and thus aids in increasing |
our manufactured output. This |
betterment of exchange naturally |
indicates that Europe is becoming |
stabilized. This sterilization is
being reflected in American bust
ness.
Il am, indeed, very hopeful
about our general business condi-
tions The outlook is good. We
shall not jump into prosperity all
at once, but we are approaching it
gradually"

Grange Opposes
Railroad Strikes
and Mine Workers

Resolutions opposing railroad
and mining strikes and expressing
sentiment against operators who
would prevent a return to nor
malcy, were adopted at a recent
meeting of the Brush College
Grange No. 586.
The resolutions were as follows:
Be it resolved, That We are op-
posed to any form OF strike among
mine workers or employees OF the
railroads at time which will
cause millions TO suffer and when
the agricultural classes have al
ready stood the greatest shrink
age in values Of their commodities
and are doing their utmost to re-
established prosperity.
There be it further resolved
lhat any owner, manager or oper-
ator of a railroad, or owner or op-
orator Of a coal mine who will aid
in creating a condition that will
stop any recovery from the
scourge Of war through which we
have just passed, is unfaithful to
his trust.
Therefore be it further resolved
that as We have done our part, it
Is not unfair that We demand that
capital and labor do theirs by ad-
justing any differences that exist
between them without stopping
the wheels of commerce.
The resolutions are signed by
the committee composed of N. P.
Adams, F. c. Ewing and Mrs.
Charles McCarter.

agreement reached by the two fac

there would be no boundary COM

stances, said Sir James. He made
this assertion, he said, without
equivocation or reservation adding
that the time had passed for mutual
accommodation. The Collins DE
Valera agreement had changed the
whole situation. Although he was
prepared to treat with the southern
representatives within the limits OF
the British empire, he was not pre-

Is Favored
Financiers Assembling in
Paris Say Temporary Aid
Useless-Fayorcd Plan
Is Billions.
First Meeting Today

Paris, May 2S.-A big loan TO Ger
many or none at all appears to be the
first idea with which the bankers for
many nations now assembling in
Paris Tor their first meeting somor-
row are approaching their work.
Sir Robert kindersley OF England.
NJ. Nossering OF Holland. and Sigr@r
D'Amelie OF Italy, were among the
bankers who looked into the Offices
OF the allied reparations commission
today in preparation for iomorrow's
meeting.
Talk in Billions.
A good deal OF informal talk is
going on between the French and
foreign iinanciers as TO the range OF
discussions and the manner in which
the committee will begin its work.
The prevailing thought is that the
bankers are not coming together for
| the purpose Of finding investments.
as they all have under consideration
at home more opportunities for cm-
ploying their capital than they have
money. II, however. by arranging
loan to Germany they can settle
the economic situation in Europe for
some years to come, they will attempt
it. Their attitude OF mind is de-
scribed as conviction that nothing
can be done with the equivalent oil
Sl00, 900 900 or 100000, 900, and there
is no motive for lending Germany for
purely temporary purposes. Such
sum, it is felt, would be spent on
reparations or in other ways within
| four or FIVE months, leaving fresh
crisis on the same problems unsettled.
! Consequently the first suggestions
range from the equivalents of
$500, 100000 to $1,000 100000 for im-
mediate issue. The billion figure
appears to be the favored one, but
whether any loan is possible, it is
! thought, could be decided only il the
governments concerned could agree
to some conditions OF immense and
decisive character.
Want Decisive Action.
In the first place the Belgian gov
ernment must surrender, partially at
least, its priority on German repara-
tions.
Belgium still has something like
billion and half gold francs due it.
1t is expected also that the British
government will reduce Great Brit
aims proportion OF % per cent OF the
reparations. because it is more inter-
ested in the economic adjustment
and tranquility of Europe than in its
chances of cash from Germany.
The French government, too, it is
believed, will reduce its expectations
of cash payments.
The amount of time the loan issue
should run and the rate Of interest
are regarded as far less important
questions and as much more easily
solved than the larger governmental
policies involved.

Trade Boosters in

on Tour of Iowa
Business. Excursionists Find
Towns Visited Look to
Omaha for Large Part

By PAUL GREER.
staff COrPespoudent Omaha Bee.

I Storm Lake. Ia. May 23.-(Spe-
cial Telegram The richness and
extent of Omaha's trade territory
was further demonstrated by today's
tour OF the Chamber OF Commerce.
Not one OF the Is towns visited
today but looks to Omaha mer-
chants and manufacturers for a con-
siderable portion of its supplies.
In no sense is this Iowa trip, l85
miles northeast of Omaha, an in
vasion. This is friendly, not hostile,
territory. although it lies close to
Des Moines and Sioux City. Part
of the credit for this relationship is
due to Ak-Sar-Bcn. The races, the
parades and the den shows are well
advertised by the country merchants
who attend each year. !.
The biggest thing that happened
in western Iowa today was the ram.
Much of the corn has been awaiting
moisture in order to sprout, and to-
day. all along the line OF the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, it driz-
zled dollars. Only less welcome was
the trade excursion special. In
many towns the schools adjourned
and the entire population declared a
holiday.
Concerts Are Attraction.
The concerts of Damon Desdunes'
band, which consist of a good deal
more OF classical music than jazz
prove a great drawing card, scarce
ly less than the souvenirs that are
strewn among the children.
At Manning, where the warmest re-
ception was extended this morning,
an impromptu street dance was
given.
