"A central almshouse large enough

tional $1,000 for working capital. in
the opinion Of w. A Smoot, chairman
of the committee appointed some
weeks ago to investigate. In a letter
to the supervisors of the counties
concerned Mr.. Smoot says that the
plan appears to be practicable and
undoubtedly would be a great saving
to the community and at the same
time would provide better accommo-
dalton. I'm my opinion" he says.
1.-The plan will remove the entire prob
lem from any possible political ir rfiu-
ence and put 1t squarely on a busi-
ress basis at saving to the com.
munities. 1t will furnish also care
and treatment for the sick and help

in the smaller units under the present
plan
1t is recommended that the site
should be large enough for orchards,

from each county concerned. 1t is
the belief of the committee that The
annual cost per person under the new
plan would not exceed $3.50 for the
first year, as compared with practi-
cally $500 under the present plan.
The report will be considered at meet
ings of supervisors in the several
counties and a definite decision reach

concerned. to be held in Alexandria

POTASH MONOPOLY
REFUSED u. S. LOAN
State Department Blocks Offering
of German Syndicate's Bonds
in New York Market.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. December efforts
of the German potash monopoly 10
place part of a $4,000. 600 interna-
tional loan in the United States have
struck a snag through failure to OBJ
tain the approval of the State Depart
ment for the financing, it was
ported in financial circles yesterday.
AS result the bond issue, which had
been tentatively scheduled for offering
here this month, probably will be sold
entirely in European markets.
Objections raised to the fiotatiOn of
the loan in the United States. II is
understood, We're based on the theory
that American financial assistance
should not be given to foreign indus
tries which have a virtual monopoly
Of production and which might utilize
the funds to maintain high prices.
This policy prevented the sale of
$50, 900 900 Sac Paulo coffee issue in
New York last July and eliminated
rubber producing industries of the
British colonies as borrowers here.
The proposed loan for the German
potash syndicate was one of the first
external loans negotiated by the Brit
ish bankers after the ban of foreign
financing was removed in London this
Fall. Original plans called for the sale
of approximately half the issue in the
United States.

approved by the Citizens Advisory
Council Al the District Building last
