CIVILIAN GIVES
APPROVAL VOTE
TO CHEST PLAN
Want More Definite Scheme
Before Taking Action
on Proposal.

Approval of the community chest as
q theory. but refusal to act upon 1t
until a more definite scheme is pre-
scented was the position taken by the
Civilian club at its Thursday meeting
at Hotel Rainbow, on the resolutions
of the Round Table.
Coupled with the discussion of the
community chest plan was that of the
need of the Red Cross on its present
basis or the ~advisability of returning it
to its pre-war basis. On this point
there was a division of opinion on the
part of speakers, some of them holding
that the overhead of the organization
is too heavy in proportion to its peace
time duties. while others said that it
was doing a work that other organiza-
tions could not do.
Favcrs Donation Work
r. X. West. speaking on the present
status of the Red Cross, said that he
thought that perhaps the organization
was doing a worthwhile work for the
former service men. He suggested
that this work might as well be done
by such persons as former service men
among the attorneys, who would be
glad to do it without charge. Of the
community chest plan he said that he
believed that much more time is need
ed 10 perfect the idea. probably six
months.
The Red Cross has no greater over
head than many other charity organ
i%zations. DIR. l.. NJ. Crouch told the
club members. He said that the Sal
walton Army had as heavy an over
head in conducting it's work. Regard
ing the community chest plan, he urged
participation as a possibility of i'm
proving the business management of
affairs. Charity is too many times en-
tered into blindly, he said. and urged
that someone be paid to audit accounts
and see to the business management
OF affairs.
Other members of the club spoke on
the two questions in the general dis
c%ussion called for by DR.. +. VI. Larson,
president.
Expansion Is Planned
Plans of the club for an expansion
program that will link Topeka, Kan,
and Great Falls with a number of
strong western clubs were outlined in
a letter from international h%eadquar-
ters. read by Secretary r. G. Day.
Two field representatives. viii be sent
into the territory to aid in the expaE-
sion work. After this district has been
developed, the plans OF the club call
for expansion into California and the
Pacific coast.
Invitations to club members attend
ing either the American Legion con-
vention at New Orleans or bankers
sessions in New York to attend club
meetings in the two cities were read.

Aongrcs, Rcvi>cs Discussion of a New Railroad
Across Andes 10 Facilitate Trade
With Argentina

"Trans-Andnc by way Of Lonoulmav. y
has been talked of for some time, and
the building of the road would un-
doubtedly facilitate the exchange Of
commodities with Argentina; particu-
'arly in the shipment Of Ch,rcan coal
and agricultural products to east coast
markets. The building of only a short
stretch is required to connect present
lines which serve the coal regions on
the Atlantic coast with the Argentine
railway joining the frontier with
Bahia Blanca. This stretch, however.
viii have to be constructed through the
rough and rugged mountain regions OF
the Andes
The territory to be served by the
completed railway. besides being agri-
cultural is very rich in mines, and is
believed to contain the most valuabl
deposits Of bitumen in the country
The zone also contains the auriferous
deposits Of "El Estcro de las Naranjas.'
TO pay the expense Of construction it
is suggested that the government levy
an import duty of a gold pesos of lSd
on petroleum and 9 gold pesos Of 1Sd
q ton on coal. Against this arrange
ment however, tho nitrate interests III
the north are making strong protests
contcnding that with the efforts now
being made to reduce the cost Of
nitrate production in order to be able
to place it on the market at figure
within reach of the farmers Of Europe,
suck tax imposed on two of the essen
tials in the process Of nitrate produc-
tion would be ruinous.

November fifty companies increased
1heIr capitalization 10 the extent or
b3,O4o,00o yen. This was an increase
Of twenty-one in number and 300.
goo yen in amount, as compared with
the preceding month November's
total capitalization amounted to l65,
loo, 600 yen, which exceeded That OF
October by l1,570000 yen. Other cap
ital calls increased, and demands for
public loans amounted to 18s, ,539 900
yen, as compared with 1850 900 in
October.
Reports on government income TO
the end of October show large de-
crease IN revenue and smaller de-
cline in expenditures. Excluding the
balance carried over from the previous
financial year, there has been con
tlnual excess Of expenditures.
Raw Silk and Silk Textile Markets
During December there was very
marked advance in the price of raw
silk, which sold for more than 1000
yen bale. The advance in price
was largely speculative, apparently in
fiuenced by the probability of increased
demand from the United States, a
shortage in the fall crop Of cocoons
and the reported unfavorabie produc
ton in France and Italy.
Exports of raw silk during November
we're onethird more than during Oc-
tober, totaing 30,4l3 bales. Of which
@0,7l6 bales went to the United States.
Shipments for November were the
largest in any month since last June
end brought the total exports for the
five months from July l to 122 ,295
bales. of which 1o9,S70 bales were
shipped to the United States. These
figures compare very favorably with
totsi shipments of 1886 bales for the
twelve months ended June so, 1921, Of
which $4,000 bales we're for the United
States. The raw silk exports for the
first eleven months Of 1921 were valued
at 34S, S,547 900 yen, as compared with
3T3, ,183, 900 yen for the spending
period OF the previous year. Raw silk
stocks at the close of the year 1921
were lower than at the close Of 1920.
Other Textiles Advance
In line with the advances in raw silk
habutai and other silk textiles advanced
in price during November. In the last
few months there has been a cons der
able increase in the production of silk
textiles for export, and it is probable
that this has now reached last years
Lowell except in the case Of pongee,
which shows decided decrease in pro-
ducticn as result of continued un
favorable price.
Although all restrictions on the out
nut Of cotton yarn were to be removed
Dcce n. Der l5, number of spinning
companies announced as early as No
vcmber their intention to continue the
curtailn:ent OF production. This was
considered necessary because of the TN
favorable outlook for Japanese exports
and the increase in the number of
spindles since the restriction agreement
came into force. The total number of
spindes at the end Of November was
3,959,4o2, as compared with 1927 ,67S in
January, 1920.

The financial experts Of the commit

Sweden could fix d maximum GOLD value

hand, the committee states, Sweden
must not be absolutely dependent on
the dollar rate, in view OF the fact that
the development Of the monetary 0ucs-
ton IN the United States is more or
less uncertain. In THIS connection the
committee declares that the right of

December, when imports approximated
l61 100000 yen and exports $4,000 900

Acting Commercial Attache H. A. Butts,
Toxic. There has been a progressive
increase in both imports and exports
since September /, 1921, whereas in
1920 there was progressive decrease
during the same period. Although for
eign tradc has revived appreciably dur

distinctly unsatisfactory.
The money stringency, evident for
some time previous, continued into

with ,439,OO0,OOO yen on December 81,

SANTIAGO, Chile, Jan. S.-Thc loan
in pounds sterling recently authorized
by the Chilean Congress for 81 500 900
was placed this week by Rothschilds E.
Sons, of London. and announcement is
made that the sum has been fully sub
scribcd at an interest rate Of ~ per
cent. and with an amortization Of q
per cent in q period Of thirtythrce
years. The proceeds Of this loan will
presumably be used in meeting the
gold obligations OF the Chilean govern
mont abroad.
The national budget for 1922 appears
to be receiving little attention from
Congress in spite Of the pressing needs
Of the Treasury, and recourse has been
had once more TO the "duodeciino" sys~
tem-that is, monthly allowance for
the running expenses Of the govern
ment based on twelfth Of the calcu-
lated quota for the year, until such
time as Congress acts on the budget.
The present session is an cXtraordi
nary one, but motions have already
been made to take d recess during Feb
ruary to allow Congrcssmen 20 leave
mor heat. but it is generally believed
that no such action will be taken until
the budget for 1922 has been passed on.
An important matter which is oc-
cupying much Of the attention OF
Congress is the project for construct
ing another railway across the Andes
in the south Of Chile This PROPOSE
ton, generally referred to as the
