DURANT SEEKS TO
INTEREST PUBLIC

W. C. Durant, pioneer automobile
man, who heads the Durant Motors
Corporation, instead of financing his
big industry by the usual process of
appealing to big moneyed interests, is
seeking with apparent success, to
make heavy fotations by the sale of
stocks direct to the public. Repre-
sentatives of the concern are now can
vassing Hood River.
Durant's proudest achievement is
that in less than two years he has built
up a group of motor companies that
have los. 181 common stockholders.
Only two corporations exceed this
number, the American Telephone &
Telegraph Co. and the Pennsylvania
Railroad Co.
"That is the sort of public owner
ship of industries that this country
needs says Mr.. Durant. Workers
who make and use a product should
own the producing industry. 1t is the
greatest possible educational factor.
the only sure cure for labor ills and
social troubles.

New York. Dec. 19.-Thomas w.
Lamont. of !. z Morgan & Co. Tues
day night declared at the dinner of the
council of foreign relations that the
reason his company declined to extend
loan to Germany at this time was
because the American public would not
lend its support.
Speaking informally at the conclu-
sion of addresses on international sub
jeets by Albert Thomas, director of
the International labor oxfica of tae

Hines. former director general of rail
ways, Alr. Lamont said the position of
his firm has been misunderstood that
press reports gave an impression that
the request of the German ambassador
had been met with refusal
''We told the German ambassador. :

ries after the party had abandoned the
water-filled tug and taken refuge on
one of the islands, from which they
were picked up Monday by the Gray
and Favorite.
William Cow, fireman on the Reli-
ance. was the hero of the wreck. He
realized the % men soon would be
forced to leave the tug, which was
pounding on the rocks, and planned
their escape to the island.
A raft was constructed of barrel
slaves and stairway torn from the
Reliance Cow then tied rope about
his waist, plunged into the icy waters
and swan Is yards to shore. The rope
was tied to tree and with its aid, the
others were taken off the tug, three

The only food on the tug was CANNED
meat, water soaked bread and cake.
Knowing that the food would not sus-
tain them for any length of time, the
men first rationed the bread, allowing
only two slices to each. When this was
exhausted they made soup of the meat
and lived on that alone until they were
rescued.

FIGHT IS STARTED
IN HOUSE ON TAX
EXEMPT SECURITIES
Endorsed by Harding, But
Many Republicans OPP
pose Measure.

Washington Dec. f9.-After a sharp
preliminary Skirmish the house Tues
day took up Il resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution under
which issuance of tax exempt securi-
ties by the federal government and
the states would be prohibited.
Backed by the Endorsement of Pres
ident Harding and the treasury, the
proposal was the center of Il hard
fight. in which many republican op-
posed it.
Passage of the measure. offered by
Representative Green. Iowa, ranking
republican Of the ways and means
committee. which reported it, will re-
quire a two-thirds vote of the house
Opponents claimed Tuesday night it
would be defeated. although leaders
who caused it to be brought up in
sisted it would go through. Four hours
of general debate, allotted under Il
special rule giving the measure right
of-way. had not been concluded on ad
iournment Tuesday night
Chairman Forelney of the ways and
means committee, Mr.. Green and Rep
resenative Mills. republican. New York.
also of the committee, urged passage
of the measure, while Representative
Garner, IeXaS. ranking democrat OF
the ways and means committee, di-
rected the fight against the passage
and made the principal speech.
Throughout the debate the question
continually bobbed up as TO whether
the proposal would invade the rights
of the states TO control their own
credit
Mr.. Fordney supported the resolu
ton because, he said, he wanted the
states to have the right to pass on the
question. He said he had doubts of
the wisdom of the purpose sought by
the amendment.
Issuance of tax exempt securities is
unsound. whether we look at il from
the fiscal. economic or social stand
point" said Representative Mills.
From the economic standpoint, he said.
they were ''indefensible."

Prosperity Next Year.
Present Harvest Worth
Near $4,000, 600, 900
More Than in 1921.

Chicago. Dec. ia marked inn
provement in agricultural conditions
of the country during 1928, not only
in better actual prices, but as compar-
ed with the prices of other commodi-
ties, was predicted by Secretary of
Agriculture Henry G. Wallace. in an
address Tuesday night before the Chi
cago Association of Credit Men.
While agricultural prices remain
lower relatively than the prices of 9th
er things. the farmers of the nation
will get between one and one-half and
two billion dollars more total money
for their crops this year than last, he
said.
Perhaps the chief reason for the
low prices the farmers have been re
ceiving is that they have been over
producing" he said During the war
years. farm production increased
greatly. The average cereal crops for
the five year, 191O-1915. inclusive,
was four and one-half billion bushels
in 1920.
Farmers Going to Cities

ward a more nearly normal relation
between things produced on the farm
and things produced in the cities and
industrial centers. More farmers are
leaving the farms than in times past
Wages in the cities. even for the COM
monest labor. are higher relatively
than wages on the farm
Secretary Wallace said the large
advance in cotton prices has put the
south in better shape than for many
years. The advance in prices of
coarse grains and the continuing prof
liable prices of livestock has led to
marked Improvement in conditions in
the great corn belt surplus producing
country. he said.
There has been less improvement
in the wheat growing regions of the
northwest and the southwest" he said.
Prices of wheat are much better. but
in those sections weather conditions
were unfavorable and many farmers
got poor crops. High freight rates
take too much out of the price of
wheat. Prospects of better foreign de-
mand give hope to the wheat farmer.
Dairy Belt Not Disturbed
I'm dairy sections of the west, the
IAFHicfs aTc coIiiihS thIousH fei! "eii.
From the corn belt eastward farmers
have not suffered so severely as in
the west. Freight rates have not hit
them so hard. Farming there is more
diversified and greater variety Of
cash crops is produced.
THE experience of the past three
years has brought home TO the nation
its dependence upon agriculture. We
realize as never before that national
prosperity is dependent upon agricul-
tural prosperity. About onethird of
our entire population depends upon
farming for living. When the buy
ing power of that one-third is restrict
ed for any reason, all business and
all industry suffer"

Washington, Dec. 19.-Responding
transmitted to congress Tuesday the
information in the hands Of the navy
department on the status of warships
scrapped, under the terms OF the
treaty, or otherwise disposed of by the
signatories since the adjournment of
the conference.
The report showed that neither the
United States nor Japan plan to COM
plete the scrapping of any existing
capital ships pending PRONUNCIATION of
the treaty, although both nations have
stopped work on large building pro-
grams of capital ships Great Britain,
on the other hand, was shown to have
disposed of or to be disposing of a
very considerable number of older
capital ships.
The Usited States, according to the
report in addition to suspending work
on vessels under construction under
the treaty, has decommissioned all
completed ships affected except the
battleship Connecticut, which soon will
be placed out of commission, and has
sold the Maine and the Missouri, which
are actually being broken up.
Britain Drops 10 Ships
q Great Britain, Mr.. DENLY said, had
at the time his infirmation was gath
cred but which time was not indicated,
broken up three capital ships; sold to
be broken up. seven sold but not dis
mantled. one; completed mutilations on
two and was engaged in mutilating six
others. The Australian government, he
added. had decided to scrap the battle
cruiser Australia.
Through her ministry of marine. the
secretary continued, Japan had stated
that while work preliminary to scrap
ping will be done. the hulls will not
be broken up or sunk until the treaty
has been ratified by all the powers.
Certain preliminary work involving
removal of guns. turrets. arInor and
engines was being done, he said, on
seven capital ships: three others had
been placed in the fourth reserve and
wirk had been suspended on six. Work
on two others was proceeding with the
evident intention of completing them
as aircraft carriers, permitted under
the naval treaty.
Neither France nor Italy was re-
qdired to scrap any completed vessels
by the treaty. One of the ships France
was permitted to retain, Mr.. DENLY
said. had been wrecked and that nation
proposed to complete, as an aircraft
carrier, one Of the five battleships it
