Forced Upon Country

Among the things which I most
strongly condemn" ne added, is
the way in which the Cosac (ni-
trate syndicate) was forced upon my
country against its interests and
welfare.
This was done by taking advan-
tage Of the influence which Ameri-
can bankers obtained over the die
tator, Carlos Ibanez, thanks to the
abuse Of the credit with which they
supplied him.
Moreover, I severely censure the
thoughtless and scarcely discreet
way in which these bankers poured
out torrents of credit at the feet
of the dictasorial government, with
a lack of prudence and Judgment,
when it could be seen that the
countrys economic capacity was
such that in a short time it would
find itself unable 10 fulfill its obi
cations.
Cash With Credit
The exiled politicians, including
myself, called attention a thousand
times to the circumstances that the
rash way IN which credit was being
supplied my country was prolonging
the dictatorship and undermining
democracy, while at the same time
it placed in evident peril the inter
ests of those who had subscribed to
the loans.
They did not listen to us. The
catastrophe we foresaw came to
pass, and no one has a right today
to blame us if we nave suspended
payment, because we can not make
payment, and because what we fore
saw and decried was fulfilled. The
blame belongs to those who were
lacking in foresight and who did
not properly take care of the inter
eStS of their clients"

BLAMED FOR

New President Says Use Of

SANTIAGO. Chile, Dec. 28.-Ar-
turo Alessandri, who has just as
sumed the presidency Of Chile for
the third time in his long political
career, today voiced trenchant
criticism Of American bankers for
the part he insists they have played
in Chile's present economic dilemma.
Calling attention TO criticism
against himself which has appeared
in the American press the new
president, in an exclusive interview
with the United Press, said that

that this was psychic bid, but was
in a rather difficult position.
To double would be to discIse
the situation to North; and, second,
an expert dislkes to double one ma
lor unless prepared to play the
hand at the other major. To over
call when vulnerable should show a
five card suit.
However, Churchill's final decision
was to overcall with bid of two
diamonds, as it presented an oppor-
tunity to trap the psychic South bid.
North was justified in oYercalling
with three clubs.
Won zedtwitz in the East then bid
three diamonds. South and West
passed. North now fell into the trap
that Churchill had laid, and bid
three spades.
He had a very strong hand and if
partners original bid was sound,
he felt that there was a chance for
game. This contract, of course, was
doubled at Churchill's next turn to
bid.

CAPITAL NEAR TOP
FOR CONVENTIONS
Groups Booked Ahead as Far
as 1910 by Board of
Trade.

With the exception of New York and
Chicago, the Capital stands out this
year as the leading convention city of
the country for national organizations.
c. N. Nichols, director of the con-
vention department of the Greater Ma
tonal Capital Committee, made known
yesterday that his organization Is
working as far ahead as 1910 in seek
ing national conventions for Washing
ton.
During the first half Of the Bicenten-
NAL year, Nichols said, more than 100
conventions have been held here, and
a great many more are yet to take
place. He estimated $4,000 delegates
have been in Washington thus far to
attend these meetings.
Chicago a Competitor.
Faced with spirited competition from
Chicago. which already has secured
1000 conventions for 1888. its Worlds
Fair year, the Greater National Capital
Committee, branch of the Washing
ton Board Of Trade. is steadily adding
TO It's list Of national group meetings
for Washington next year.
Seventy national organizations already
1888 conventions. while 25 others are
virtually certain to meet here, according
to Nichols. The Greater National Cap
ital Committee, founded little more
than year ago to promote the tourist
and convention interests Of Washing
ton. Is contracting more than 500 ma
tional groups with an idea of inter-
esting them in this city as a meeting
place next year.
Large Groups Coming.
Among the larger groups expected to
convene here next year are the United
States Chamber of Commerce, Congress
OF American Physicians and Surgeons
American Institute Of Architects. Tall
Cedars Of Lebanon, Eastern Arts As
Teachers Association. More than
10000 delegates will attend the conven-
tionS already secured.
More than 5000 Baptists are expected
here in connection with first joint con-
vention of Northern and Southern Bap-
lists next June.
Nichols said he does not attribute the
large number Of conventions held here
this year to the Bicentennial Celebra-
ton. This inducement, he said, was
used in comparatively few instances
when national bodies were being con-
tacted
To bear out this contention, Nichols
said prospects for 1884 indicate it will
be an outstanding convention year. At
tendance during that year. he predict
ed. will exceed the 1892 figure.
More than s10,500 900 has been spent
by tourists sources as a result Of the
conventions held here thus far this
year, according to Curtis Hodges. execu-
tive director of the Greater National
Capital Committee.

excess of the number Of days for which
pay deductions have already been made
at the rate of one-quarter days pay
for each working days absence, de-
duction at the same rate must be made

Funds saved by the administrative
furlough may be used for the payment
of salaries of those retained on duty.
McCarl ruled. but he explained that
funds released by severances from the
service (vacancies) may not be so used,
but must be impounded in the Treas
ury unless such impounding Is waived
in writing by the President.
