subjects, and to cooperate, in an in
formal way, with the governments OF
American countries.
Purpose Is Same
These are exactly the things that the
International Chamber of Commerce
and the Fourth Pan-American CONNER
cial Conference now want to be done. The
founders of the Sacramento Institute
stated that this was bound to NIL the
long-felt need for an unofhcial clear
ing house for purely an-American
problems, which shall be free from all
red tape and political influence and be
based upon goodwill, cooperation and
reciprocity among agriculturiStS. IN
dustrialistS and merchants OF this
hemisphere"
In one of the meetings of the recent
Pan American Commercial Conference,
some one suggested that instead OF heIp-
ing the establishment of the Pan-Ame
lean Institute Of Reciprocal Trade the
American republics should encourage
the creation of national branches OF the
International Chamber of Commerce,
an organization long existing. which has
expressed the desire to extend It's
activities to Latin America.
At first glance this seems only logical
so long as both institutions have inter-
eSts in the promotion of trade and
good will, which appear to be identical.
On second thought, however, the diff
ference Is easily recognized. And it Is
equally easy to agree with those who
insist that 1t must be the Sacramento
Institute or another exclusively Pan
American organization and not the In
ternational Chamber of Commerce, the
one intrusted with the task of pro-

meals, and If they know any
trade they may help us with
our building operations. When
they have stayed with us as
long as they want, they move
on.
I'VE took our motto from
the words of the Lord, 'InaS-
much as We have done it unto
one of the least of these my
brethren, We have done it unto
Me- In that spirit we regard
them not as trampS, but as
brothers of our Lord, Brothers
Christopher"
Listening to his gentle &C
cents, watching the light OF
benevolence in his fine eyes, /
felt encouraged. I reminded
myself that we are often mis-
led by the facts that sin gets
most of the advertising.
Sin is dramatic; so are war
fare and crime. They are
not commonplace; they are
news. They occupy a promi-
nent place on almost every
front page, while a million
quiet acts of human kindness
are not and never can be re-
ported.
Life itself is the Albany Post
road. People hear Of 1t only
as highway of business and
pleasure, made occasionally
notorious by a CHASTITY acct
dent.
Yet quietly by the side Of
the road Is Bill Brown with
his farm, where tired men lose
their tiredness; and Father
Paul with his friendly hand
and cheering word for the
Brothers Christopher.

cas-, which Is bound to result IN In
creased commercial and economic ties
between them, and, inevitably, In less
European contacts?
An so with all the other aspects Of
inter American trade. The economic
surveys and studies intended to promote
producers agreements and regulate dis
tribution, the uniformity of consular
procedure and port formalities, the
sterilization Of currency, the develop
ment of communications, and all the
goals sought by the Pan-American In
Stitute Of Reciprocal Trade, are nat
urally intended to promote greater COM
mercial relations among the countries
OF the Western Hemisphere. How could
a Latin American branch of the Inter
national Chamber of Commerce do all
this without endangering the interests
of the chambers founders and direc-
tors, the business men OF Europe?

On Sunday morning we

noting and directing commercial ne
lationS in the New World
Take the case of tariffs. How could
a world organization like the 1nterna-
tional Chamber. the chief interests Of
which are in Europe work for the abol-
IShment or reduction of tariffs among
the American countries and the conSe-
quent increase in inter -American trade
which would follow? Such an increase
would be a blow to the foreign trade of
the European nations which are the
main clients OF the International Cham
Der of Commerce. This could not very
well further tnter-American commercial
interchange without hindering Euro
pean foreign trade.
The same thing may be said about
tourist travel, another one of the pur-
poses of the Sacramento Institute. The
International Chamber of Commerce or
any other world organization could not
be expected to promote and encourage
travel among the American countries
with the enthusiasm with which a
solely pan-American institution would
do it. Tourists travel Is becoming more
and more an outstanding factor In in
terna tional commerce. Its development
in the Western Hemisphere would
naturally prove harmful to European
interests If thousands of United States
citizens were diverted from their annual
excursions to Europe and sent, instead,
around the Latin American lands, and
thousands of Latin Americans likewise
changed their point of destination from
Europe to the United States. The In
ternational Chamber could not be a
part in this conspiracy against Euro
pean commercial interests.

James v. Alfred revealed today that

with a view to forcing a reduction.
The survey viii include production
and transportation costs, Alfred said.
News OF the survey was made pup
lie through a letter addressed TO
Grady Shipp, secretary OF the Plain
view Chamber of Commerce.
Shipp had asked whether the
South Plains Pipe Line company
could be classified as q common
carrier so II could be required TO
deliver gas to the city.
I'VE can buy gas and put our own

rates"
Atty. Gen. Alfred In answering,
said the problem OF attempts 70 re-
duce gas rates "confronts practical
ly every city in the state"
Il have reached the conclusion"
he went on, that there should be a
general reduction Of rates through
out the entire state in line with the
reduced prices and values Of other
commodities and services. II seems
to me that this Is true OF all public

ROTATION OF
CR0PSURCED
J BY LEADERS

AUSTIN, Aug. 4. R-Gov. Ster-
ling today told a southwide cot
ton conference he hoped it could
devise some method TO eliminate the
paradoxical situation Of gigantic
cotton stocks unSold while millions
were poorly clothed.
I'VE don't have to have a sur
plus" the governor stated. Mil
lions of people are needing clothes.
There must be something wrong
with the distribution"
The governor asserted too much
concentration Of wealth was bad,
pointing out France and the United
States had Is per cent Of the worlds
gold.
People Hungry.
I'm India and China a vast num-
Der Of people are hungry and naked.
We have nearly nine million bales
more cotton than we need. Why
can't we arrange a traoe?' And then
he answered his question by stating
that they have no gold with which
to pay"
The Texas chief executive opened
his remarks with the statement that
the whole nation was somewhat out
OF order" Some Of this disorder was
brought abc,t by the internal re-
publican party, as the late Col.
Bailey used TO say" the governor
said amid applause.
But We want to leave politics out.
The president is a member Of that
party. We may want to pass resolu-
tons calling on him for aid"
Carl II. Robinson. senior statisti-
clan for the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, outlined the eff
feet of a law preventing the plant
ing OF the same land to cotton two
successive years.
Such a bill had been introduced in
the Texas legislature. Robinson esti-
mated 1t would reduce Texas cotton
acreage by from 20 to 80 per cent.
If other states adopt the plan. acre
age throughout the cotton belt will
be reduced materially he pointed out.
Gossett Explains.
d. w. Killough, head Of the cot
ton breeding department Of Texas
A. g. NJ, recommended rotation Of
crops.
M. II. Gossett, president Of the
Federal Land Bank at Houston, said
his remarks yesterday had bee mis-
interpreted. He said he did not state
that more work and less play
among farmers" would help solve the
situation.
He repeated this thought: Il do
not share the theory G one writer's
that the quickest way ok to pros
perity is TO work less and loaf more
but rather by Industry. patience.
economy and thrift. we will find our
way back to normal prices and
times"
Gossett said the fact that 90 per
cent OF Texas farmers who had Dor
rowed from the farm land bank
were paying their semi-annual in
stallments as they were due showed
they were not playing.
