from congested city areas to cheaper
outlying property and the use of mo-
tor trucking service for the delivery of
freight, Alfred Swayne Of New York
told the national transportation con-
ference called by the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States.
The economic condition of the farm
er has improved considerably, accord
ing to the committee on statistics of
the Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States and his outlook for 1924
is even more hopeful. The commit
tee, in a semi-annual review of busi
ness conditions, attributes the agricul-
tural improvement chiefly to the di
minished spread between prices for
farm products and for manufactured
articles.
The administrators policy of nom
recognition of the present soviet gov
ernment of Russia was supported Wig
orously in the Senate by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, the Repub-
lican leader and chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee.

uation shall be placed in a fund within
the control of the government and the
other half retained by the railroad in
