Puerto Rico Credit
Extension Urqed

Extension of proper credit facili-
ties for needed agricultural and in
dustrial development In Puerto Rico
was urged by Miles H. Fairbank, as
sistant administrator of the Puerto
Rico Reconstruction Administra-
ton, in his annual report yesterday
to the Interior Department.
"Only in part can this develop
ment be accomplished by present
relief spending" he said. "On the
other hand, if capital can be made
available to Puerto Rican farmers
and businessmen for the next few
years, Puerto Rico's economy with
reach stable level"
There would be no competition
with agriculture and industry in the
United States, Mr.. Fairbank de-
clared.
To free itself from dependence on
the coffee -tobacco-sugar economy.
the network of marketing co-opera-
tives on the island has been ex-
tended to 13 during the year, he
said. These do a business in excess
Of $4,000 900. Progress is being made
in marketing canned orange juice
Along conservation lines, the re-
port pointed out 100000 trees
have been planted. Land quotas

additional hardships to those who
produce and toll in America.
The most immediate effect of the
war is a depreciation of foreign
currency in relation to the Ameri-
can dollar. 1t will be noted that
from December l, 1898, to Decem-
Der /, 1899, exactly year, the Brit
ish pound declined II per cent in
relation to the dollar; the French
franc declined 66 per cent from
May. 1896, to December, 1899. in
relation to the dollar; the Canadian
dollar has declined practically IL
per cent from December / Of last
year until the same date this year.
Depreciation of currency i'm
poses a heavy burden on this coun-
try whose currency remains at the
old level. Indeed, the effect Is two
edged. First, it raises the price of
American goods to foreign buyers
in terms of their money. This re-
suits in decline of demand for
American goods and diversion of
trade from the United States to
other countries. Second, and most
important effect of trading with
countries having deprecated cur
rency, is the ease with which they

Lending Support
BY the Associated Press.

GENEVA, Dec. g. Indications
that the League of Nations not only
would condemn Russia as an ag-
gressor but also probably would oust
her from the League increased today
as the trial Of the Soviet Union
on Finland's charges opened.
Argentina and her sister Latin
American states threw their sup
port strongly behind Finland and
were reported to have told the
League 1t must choose between
ejecting Russia and losing them as
members.
Russia's- representative was alb
sent as the League Council dis
cussed Finlands appeal for action
in two closed sessions and passed 1t
on "for trial" to the Assembly which
convenes Monday.
Informed persons said tire Ar

voice the sentiment Of other Amer
ican nations, told Joseph A. c.
Avenol, League secretary general,
it was a case of Russia or Latin
America
British reluctance to go as far
as expulsion of Russia apparently
was melting rapidly in the face
of the strong Latin American stand
and the French delegation likewise
indicated it would support Fin
land.
Rudolf Hosti, Finland's white
haired delegate. said he would with
hold detailed public statement Of
our case" until the Assembly ap-
points a committee to decide who
is the aggressor in the northern
war.
Indications that Argentina might
demand an immediate showdown
were seen in the notification given
by Argentine delegates Rodolfo
Freyre and Carlos a Pardo that
they wanted to speak with the
Assembly Immediately after Holsti.
They were reported planning
then to ask Russia's custer under
the Covenants Article 16 provid-
ing for action against an aggressor.
However. informed sources said
France and Britain had counselled
Finland not to ask for more than
the League can give"
The allies pointed out, these
sources said, that although punitive
measures are provided by the
League Covenant and could be ap-
piled against Russia they would
mean little more than giving men,
