 DEMANDING ACTION
Association Urges Police to Enforce Law on Sun.
 day Sales

The Waterbury Butchers and 0rocers association will oppose bringing the Sunday sales statute to higher courts, 1t was voted last night ct Q mass meeting in Bacco's hall. Claim was made ct the meet- ing that the campaign against en- forcement of the law is being con- ducted principally by one man, An- thony Ciarlo, who was the first per. son convicted, and whose case Is now before the court of common pleas.
 It was pointed out that three men who were listed as belonging to the Independent Disbursements association, headed by Ciarlo, are in reality members of the Waterbury Butchers and 0rocers association. The association also said that one man whose name appeared as an Independent Businessman is dead, while three others merely voted to contribute to the campaign of the Independents without going 50 far as becoming members.
 At ., meeting which was attended by more than 100 members, the as. sociation voted to task local prose. cutting attorneys to be more vigilant in arresting violators. Police on. forcement. of Q city ordinance in Springfield, Mass, and of the state law In Hartford were discussed with the purpose of seeking similar police enforcement here.
 Five new members joined the group.
 The association voted to send their enforcement committees out again next Sunday to get evidence against violators. From 10 to lb more complaints are expected.
 It was reiterated at the meeting that the campaign is not being waged to hurt the small independ. ent businessman, but with the goal of getting better hour and working conditions.

Administration Likely to Rely on Him
If Question Is Put to Congress

balancing Of governmental budgets.
bolstering OF, shaky currencies and
for military purposes, such as the
building Of strategic railroads and
ports. erection of Notifications and
purchase of munitions.
Then came the depression years
and with them wholesale defaults.
Today approximately half of the
American loans to Europe and
three fourths of the loans to South
American countries, made during
the 1905 remain unpaid. Far
from improving American relations
abroad, the effect of all this was a
severe setback to commerce and
the creation of international an
tagonism, which still persist.
The Jones process is different.
Each loan made by him Is with a
definite stipulation as to its uses
and the manner and time of its re-
payment.
Huge Credits Cancelled.
Overall, during its five years Of
existence, the Export-Import Bank
has authorized loans totaling $751;
100000, but $119, 100000 of these
have been Cancelled chiefly for the
reason that American firms failed
to carry through the commercial
transactions for which they were
made
The total actually paid out by
the bank is sos 900 900, of which
$73,000,00O has been repaid. This
leaves $132,000,00 outstanding, in
addition to which $4,000 900 has
been definitely committed.
Loans made to Brazil and China,
the two largest foreign borrowers,
illustrate the method.
The first loan to Brazil in March,
1899, was s19,200,O00, to fund ex-
listing Brazilian debts to some 400
American exporters This is being
paid back at the rate of 10 per cent
per quarter. The other loans to
Brazil are approximately $4,000, 900
for purchase of railroad equipment
from American manufacturers; S10,-
600 900 for electrical developments
which are being carried out by the
General Electric and WESTINGHOUSE
Co.'S; s20,000,000 for construction
of steel mill under American
auspices. For each of these tram
sactions the Brazilians were required
to put up 80 to IS per cent of the
total cost.
Revolving Fund Set Up.
The most recent loan of SIS, 000,-
600 to Brazil was for establishment
of revolving fund for current pur-
chaSes Of American products. This
latter is being advanced at the rate
of 100000 a month for a six
month term with the idea that by
the time the original $25 1000, 900 is
spent repayments will have made
the system self-perpetuating. The
first loan of s25 900 900 to China, a
year and half ago, required re-
payment by shipments of tung
wood oil. a commodity which
American paint and varnish manu-
facturers are much in need of. De-
liveries Of tung oil in performance
of this contract are currently I'D
to schedule.
The second loan to China of S20,-
DOC, 900 made about a year ago, is
to be paid back similarly in tin.

confidence Of Congress to a degree
exampled by no other present ad.
ministration official.
This is because he has been COM
pletely frank in explaining his pur.
poses in advance of congressional,
grants to him of spending authority
and appropriations, and he ha!
stuck to these purposes in his subse'
quent official actions.
The agencies he has administered
have made some bad deals and sui.
fered some losses, but these have
been infinitesimal in comparison
with the many billions he has dis
pensed.
He's Silent on Position.
Wherefore 1t is probable thai
when Mr.. Jones tells Congress that
British assets, available for the pur-
chase of American goods. are ap-
preaching exhaustion and presents
concrete plan for relieving this de-
ficiency his recommendation will
carry great weight. And by the
same token, until he does put his
name on the back of the British
note, so to speak, it may be ex-
tremely difficult to induce Congress
to act.
Mr.. Jones has given no public in
timation as to his position on this
subject, but Congressman who have
talked with him believe he stands
in a middle ground He recognizes
they say, that the United States Is
committed to the policy of giving
every possible material aid to Great
Britain, and that this policy ulti-
mately may entail financial assist
ance. On the other hand, he holds
that the British still are a con-
siderable distance from the financial
strait that would warrant this step
Mr.. Jones currently is functioning
as the economic savior of South and
Central American countries and
China, but he is proving no Santa
Claus in this regard. Some of the
would-be beneficiaries, in fact, have
been heard to complain that he is
downright hard-nearted. Specifically
he is prone to inquire, first, exactly
what the money advanced is to be
used for. and, secondly, how and
when it is to be paid back.
Private Loans Compared.
What he Is not doing is best illus
trated by comparison with the ex-
tensions of credit abroad by Amer
lean private banking institutions
during the lush 1920s. In the period
1880 there were f1oated in the
United States 1,782 foreign security

The companies, whose total busi-

rived from New York at night, and
offered combat early next morning.
Her fantastic outline and tiny bulk
amazed the officers aboard the Con-
federate ship, which was greeted
with a l68-pound shot fired from an
11-inch turret gun.
For four hours the action was hot
and lively, the ironclads firing at
close range. For both ships, arrnor
proved to be almost perfect protec-
ton. No one was killed and only
few wounded. The battle was vir-
tually a draw, the Merrimack final

Warspite WithstOOd "a Shells.
At the historic naval Battle of Jut-
land in May, 1916, the British grand
feet numbered % huge battleships
of the dreadnaught class. Although
struck q times by big shells, the
heavily armored dreadnaught War
spite sustained no vital hurt and
kept her place in the battle line
through many more hours of fight
ing.
The World war brought about a
temporary revival of the American
merchant marine. There was ur-
| gent need for new ships to supply
| the armies in France and to feed
the population of the British isles.
American shipbuilders were called
upon to make Trojan effort. The
world had never before seen such an
epic of shipbuilding. On a single
day, July 4, 1918, 95 ships were
launched from American ways.
BY the wartime effort, Americas
merchant marine had been aug
mented by nearly 100000 tons, and
once more she was close second
| to Britain on the seas. Then, again,
unhappily, the picture changed, and
our shipping went into the doldrums
but that's another story, and a
long, sad one.
We still have some busy lines to
the Orient, South America, and Eu-
| rope; and recent legislation favor
ing subsidies for our merchant ships
will, it is hoped, revive shipbuilding
in the United States.
