BY CHARLES p. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July a While the
vigorous and positive section of the
Democratic platform dealing with the
eighteenth amendment was the one
which brought the most favorable COM
ment in Wall Street, the creed of the
party bristles with recommendations OF
policies that deeply concern the bank
ing world and at the same time severe
ly condemn practices held to be re-
sponsible for a part of the ''unprec-
edented economic and social distress"
from which the country is now suffer-
ing.
Debatable Issues.
Those portions of the platform which
in the coming months will be the sub
ject of national debate, and are bound
to be freely discussed in Wall Street,
have to do with the currency, tariff,
unemployment relief, old-age insurance,
antitrust laws, regulation of public
utilities. supervision of banks. cancel
lation CT war debts, supervision over
exchanges trading in securities and in
commodities and better protection for
the investing public in the matter Of
statements issued with the offerings
of new securities. The platforms ad-
vocacy of program of drastic reduc-
ton of Government expenditures, spe-
cifically not less than 25 per cent, also
takes up an issue that has been live
one in connection with the siX-month
effort to establish a proper balance in
the national budget.
The platform recommends the calling
Of an international monetary confer
ence Ito consider the rehabilitation OF
silver and related questions" This has
been strongly urged by portion of the
banking fraternity who believe a return
to healthy economic and credit con-
ditions cannot be effected so long as
there is the existing poor distribution
of gold and while SO many nations are
off the gold standard. Linked with this
is tariff plank calling for "an in
ternational economic conference de-
signed to restore international trade
and facilitate exchange" On the other
hand, while 1t urges reciprocal tariff
agreements with other nations" it
comes out fatty against cancellation
of the debts owing to the United States
by foreign nations"

GERMANS IN CAMPAIGN
TO IMPROVE BUSINESS
BY the Associated Press.

German chamber of commerce has
embodied triple threat against world
unsatisfactory business conditions, using
three methods of attack, namely, COM
mercial- political measures, financial
political measures and currency regula-
tions.
Under the first class is proposed the
formation of European customs unions,
with a complete system of most IA
vored nation" treaties, allowing for the
gradual reduction and final cancella-
tion of all import restrictions, and plac-
ing a high protective tariff at home.
Under the second method financial sup
port of weak European markets by the
Bank OF International Settlements is
urged Ia addition to the establishment
of an international clearing house to
facilitate international trade by barter.
The third method called for the reallot-
ment OF foreign currencies for free dis
posal by manufacturers for the purpose
of purchasing raw materials and semi
finished goods from abroad.
The third method also. included a
provision urging that foreign currencies
be made available to firms desiring to
pay back foreign loans.

elusive of the State tax of 4 cents

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July while the
powers assembled at Lausanne have
not reached a complete measure of
agreement, they at least have agreed
on a number of vital points, according
to Ramsay Macdonald, British prime
minister. This may be regarded as
definite progress and should help to
restore confidence in the conference.
Mr.. Macdonald points out that there
was unanimous agreement that
artificial transfers which disturb in
ternational balance accounts should
take place, If at all, by the normal
operation of international commerce
and should be limited within that ca
pacity, adding that under existing cir
cumstances. Germany cannot pay at all
The British prime minister might
have added that capacity to pay is
relative and subject to constant change
What Germany, for instance, might
have been able to pay on the basis
of her productivity five years ago is
infinitely larger than she could take
care of today.
Herein seems to lie the fundamental
error of the Debt-funding Commits
sion, which undertook to fix in ad-
vance, for a period covering two gen.
erations. the capacity of nations to
discharge their financial engagements
While confirmed pessimiSts doubtless
will try to make capital of whatever
adverse reports emanate from Lau-
same, one cannot escape the feeling
that constructive forces are at work
and that some sort of adjustment is
rp1Phnd c.
sembled cannot let this opportunity
go by. There is too much at stake.
The strong clos. > of German and
Austrian issues on New York Stock
Exchange, as well az strength yester-
day in the Paris ari Berlin markets
would seem TO bear out the above
hypothesis.
