Chamber Wires President Urging Free Market for
 Newly Mined Gold

The Chamber of Commerce today enrolled on the side seeking free market for newly mined gold and directed Secretary G. H. Walmsley to wire President Roosevelt urging the necessity of that action in or der to equalize the burdens placed upon the gold mining industry by the advance of commodity prices and wage levels The Chambers action was taken at the suggestion of P. R. Bradley, newly elected President of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, who wired asking it's assistance.
 A free market for gold ore, de- clared R. H. Stock, wellknown con- tractor, a guest of the Chamber today, would be of inestimable ben eft to the Territory. It would give employment to more men than any other one step that could be taken, he said.
 Add To Industry
 One of the first results from such a step, he declared, would be to make possible the operation of properties now in the borderline class; that is, properties that un- der existing conditions have doubt full value but which would be defi- nitely profitable if gold were worth from 40 to 50 per cent more than the $20.67 it brings on the Ameri- can market. It would stimulate prospecting, putting hundreds of men in the hills. It would na- turally offset the increased costs of production and wipe out the disadvantages under which the gold mining industry now labors with gold at fixed price when every thing else is rising in value.
 Tn Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, MT. Stock said, the woods are full not only of prospec- tors but of high grade representa- tives of Boston and New York capi- tai, examining prospects in every district where gold has ever been produced. Eastern financiers are convinced that free market for newly produced gold is bound to come and are looking for oppor- tunities for investment.
 Great Improvement Seen
 T am particularly happy to come back to see you at this time be- cause I can assure you that busi- ness is decidedly on the upgrade, !" MT. Stock told the Chamber. He illustrated this by citing conditions in the northwest lumber industry.
 Six weeks before he came north he made a trip to Aberdeen and other mill towns and found practi- cally every plant shut down, a con- dition of long standing. Two weeks ago he was again in Aberdeen and found every sawmill except one going at full blast. The one plant closed down was in the hands of receiver and he was enroute from California to reopen it. A similar improvement had taken place in Everett, Ballard and other places where numbering is major in- dustry. Timber prices have ad- vanced and distressed markets are thing of the past he said.
 Recovery Is Here
 Recovery is undoubtedly present, he added. It is true that it is somewhat spotted, but the progress

PERIL is SEEN
FOR ROOSEVELT
IN DEBT CLASH
Political Fortunes May Be
Wrecked If Misstep
Is Taken.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SINiMS
Scripps-H Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Under
conditions Of extraordinary danger
to the political fortunes of President
Roosevelt, the final war debt nego-
tiations will begin here shortly after
July 4, it is learned.
In refusing to appoint a new
World war foreign debt commission.
composed chiefly of members of
congress, which alone has authority
to alter the debtors contracts to
pay, friends of the President fear
he is riding for a fall, perhaps a
disastrous one.
Regardless of the common fact
that he lacks the power to change
the dotting of an II" or the crossing
Of a "T'' in the existing settlements,
the debtor nations have given full
warning that whatever he may do
Or even may not do-will settle
for them the fate of the debts.
Default Is Probable
There is every indication that
should the President refuse to re-
duce the debts to the satisfaction
of the debtors, they plan to default
wholesale or repudiate.
On the other hand, should he
recommend to congress the sweep
ing reductions which it now is
known they will press upon him,
the belief is widespread here that
congress fatty would refuse to back
him up.
In the latter case, those behind
the scenes assert without equivoca-
ton the debtor nations are pre-
pared to use the situation to their
advantage. They would seize upon
it as a pretext for refusing further
payments, on the ground that the
President morally had released them
from further obligation. Congress
they simply would ignore.
Precedent in History
For this, it is observed, there is
ample precedent in the history of
reparations and war debts them
selveS-a precedent which carries a
warning against any appearance of
a clash between the President and
congress on this highly explosive
subject.
On the eve of the Lausanne con-
ference last year, the United States
took specific pains to inform the
allied powers that this country
would not view with sympathy any
cancellation of German reparations
being made contingent on cancella-
ton of the war debts owed to the
American government.
Despite this warning, the allies
having become convinced that Ger
many never again would make any
more payments on reparations any,
way-proceeded to accept 10 cents
on the dollar-provided America
would do as much for them.
Now, the allies contend, America
is bound morally to reduce the war
debts in line with their generous
gesture" at Lausanne.
The precedent of the Hoover
moratorium-upon which France
bases her defaults likewise cited
as case in point.

Nation Sticks to HunlOr

Incidents in Capital Show

WASHINGTON, June 16.-How

Though tinged with regret, and
now and then tinctured with bit

often are quite humorous.
One man who recently came to

responded to the patriotic plea, but
there was wistful note in his
response @se1 a..a

$4,000-that is, not much" he
wrote. But am going to stay in
Washington for awhile, and I'd
like to go around and look at my

Another man, a resident OF New
