BOARD OF TRADE
BACKS DISTRICTS
RIGHT To R. T. c. AID
Unqualified Endorsement Is
Given Legislation After
Careful Inquiry.
WOULD BORROW ONLY
IF EMERGENCY AROSE
Ben T. Webster Says Proposal
Would Not Result in Tax
Increase.

After careful study, the Washington
Board of Trade today gave its unquali-
fed Endorsement to the legislation now
pending in House and Senate, which
would authorize the District to borrow
funds from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation for relief purposes, If and
when other sources of aid should be
exhausted.
The support of the trade body to the
dorsement Of the Washington Chamber
of Commerce and other groups, was
given after investigation by its Ex-
ecutive Committee, which held series
of meetings to study the matter. The
group passed resolution approving the
legislation at special meeting in the
Board of Trade headquarters this
morning.
Tells of Approval.
In a statement issued after the ses-
sion, Ben T. Webster, president of the
Board of Trade, speaking in behalf of
the committee, said:
"The Washington Board of Trade
enthusiastically indorses the bill which
would give authority to the District of
Columbia to procure loans from the Re
construction Finance Corporation up to
$2,500,000 If found necessary for emer-
gency relief when other sources of relief
fail
1.-The board feels that the community
should in principle be placed on a
parity with the States in relation to the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation,
and that, owing to the possible exigen-
cies of the severe economic situation,
provision must be made to take care Of
the destitute and needy of the COM
munity In times of emergency.
upon investigation, the board finds
the proposed loan, would in no way ne
cessitate a bond issue or an increase in
taxes, and could be paid from the regu-
out resorting to irregular means.
1T is certainly incumbent upon the
people of Washington to see that those
destitute families seeking relief ought
not be left unanswered. The pro-
posed legislation seems to be the only
way in which this relief can be grant,
cd. in the opinion of the board.
.It viii unquestionably be a method
of putting to work the unused surplus
tions in the budget below the actual
amount of money to be raised"
Members of Committee.
Robert v. Fleming. president of the
Riggs National Bank, is chairman of
the Executive Committee. Other men,
bsrs include John T. Bardroff, Edward
F. Colladay, j. Harry Cunningham,
w. w. Everett, e. C. Graham, E. j.
Murphy, George w. Offutt, Claude w.
Owen, George Pitt, Samuel j. Pres
colt, John Saul, Odell S. Smith, Charles
W. Morris and E. c. Brandenburg
The legislation which would permit
the District to negotiate such a loan
in times of need does not directly call
for borrowing from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation at this time It
merely grants the municipal govern
ment the right, should both public and
private funds prove inadequate, to meet
an emergency In relief work by apply
ing to the corporation for a loan to
tide 1t over the period of need.

Rescues Her Canary
But Deserts Jewels
In Apartment Blaze

Mrs. F. B. Haddaway was forced
to choose between her jewelry and
her pet canary yesterday when
smoke poured into her apartment
from a burning delicatessen in an
adjoining building. She chose
the bird.
The blaze broke out In the
Brightwood Delicatessen, 5605
Georgia avenue, damaging the
building to the extent of about
$1,000. While the fire was at its
height, Mrs. Haddaway's second
floor apartment, at 5000, filled
with smoke, and she decided to
flee.
Ignoring her jewelry and other
belongings, she grabbed her ca
nary, cage and all, and ran for
the stairway. Unable to make
her way through the smoke, how
ever, she dashed back into her
apartment, leaned from a window
and called for aid. She was car
ried to safety by a fireman.

 QUEBEC INNS
French HOstelries Impr0v- ed to Lure Tourists
 Seeking Individuality

Montreal (UP).-The depres- sion has proved beneficial to at least one industry in the Province of Quebec-that of the provinces rural hotels and inns.
 Citing this anomaly. Rodrigue Langlois, managing director of the Quebec Country Hotel Keep ers' association, points out that ''as a result of the economic crisis, many a country hotel keeper sud- denly sat up. and took stock of his affairs. realizing that tourists would only come to Quebec inns when assured of distinctly French atmosphere, which is, after all the cradle of French Canada"
 Tourists sought indiudualism of surroundings, excellent service, a good French Canadian cuisine, Langlois stated, and above all, that touch of old France. And many a rural innkeeper benefited by this experience, and improved his hostelry to his own benefit and to that of the Province of Quebec.
 The tourfiist trade in Quebec, notable that from the United States, has been well maintained durig 1893, LangIois finds. And large number of visitors to the province are seeing Quebec as g whole, motoring from such metro politan centers as. Quebec City and Montreal to the Gatineau district, the Laurential noun. tains, the Lake St. John region the Eastern Townships, lower Quebec and the Gaspe Peninsula

White Dictator May
 Rule Negro Republic
Might End Monopoly of New Rubber Restriction Act
 Revoked in 1928

55 per cent of it's budget, the league suggested Firestone should pay 50 per cent rental per arce instead of six cents. The league also found forced labor existed in Liberia and took steps to stamp 1t out.
 The first plans of the league were rejected by the Firestones who demanded fuller control over Liberian affairs in return for any concessions. The league finally bowed to the present plan where by the Firestone agree to under write the cost of the proposed pro- gram and reduce the rate of in- terest from seven to five per cent in return for the appointment of a chief advisor to Liberia with full powers which only can be vetoed by the League Council.
 League circles do not like the plan but feel it is the best that can be obtained.
 The United States is historically responsible for the foundation of the Liberian Republic. It was founded in 1922 by free American slaves assisted by American anti slavery socities. American religi- ous and education socities have taken much intrest in developing the country.
 The population of the country IS entirely negro. Nearly 10000 of It's citizens are American born.

United Press Stan COrTcSpOuucHIJ Geneva (UP)-The white dicta- torship, which is facing the Negro Republic of Liberia, if it accepts the joint United States-League
 program of national reconstruction, | is a direct consequence of Ameri- ca's desire to free itself from Brit I ish and Dutch raw rubber domina- ton.
 By the Stevenson Restriction Act of 1922 the British succeeded ln | critically raising the raw rubber | price by restricting production in
 it's colonies which produced about | 75 per cent of the worlds require
 ments.
 Rubber interests in the United States, which consume approxi- mately 70 per cent of the worlds output were indignant. Arguing that the added tire cost was passed on to car owners and that the United States should have an in- dependent supply for national emergencies" the Firestone inter-
 ests succeeded in getting Washing
 toms ofcial support for the de- velopment of rubber plantations in Liberia.
 In return for a 99 year lease on 10000 acres of land at six cents per acre, the Firestone interests loaned the Liberian government S2,500,000 at seven per cent inter- est. In 1926 the Firestone company started planting rubber trees and now has about 53,000 acres under cultivation.
 But in 1928 Britain revoked the rubber restriction act and Liberia found, as also did league com mission, that she has sQuandered a large portion of her Firestone loan on "unproductive purposes" She had difficulties in meeting in terest charges and feeling ran high against Firestones.
 The Firestone contracts, plus historical and racial difficulties of the Liberians to govern themselves efficiently and then the world de- precision, brought Liberia to fi- nancial and economic ruin. For months her public employees have not been paid and since 1882 she has refused to pay the service on her Firestone debt.
 The league, after an >investiga- tion suggested by the United States, attempted to draft a plan of assist ance would include concessions by the Firestone. Finding that fixed charges on Liberia's loan absorbed
