more businessmen, industrialists and
bankers from So nations who have
been talking shop this week at the
Westchester Country Club wind up
their talks today with the final
session of the International Business
Conference.
The conference will receive the
reports of its panels on cartels and
on the commercial policy of nations
which, generally speaking, means
tariffs and export and import
quotas.
The one concrete proposal that
emerges from these discussions is
the recommendation that an inter-
national organization be set up to
promote private enterprise. Out of
this recommendation there may
come a strong international group
of private business interests which
will have an important voice in
postwar international trade.

Debt of Honor
Pledged in 1864
is Finally Paid

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - U.P)
Final payment on a debt"
which James E. Sanders, presi-
dent and superintendent of the
Warrick County Orphans Home

debt to a German miller was
to help anyone needing it.
In 1864 WIN he was II years
old, Sanders Travelled with his
uncle and family to Richmond,
Ind, where they contemplated
crossing back into Kentucky,
their native state, to join the
Southern forces. Because of I'm
ion pickets, they were unable
TO accomplish this.
He and his uncle then headed
West and, with five horses, at
tempted TO cross river in Miss
ouri. A German miller assisted
them in crossing and when ask
ed the price for hi aid, the old
miller replied, IF you ever find
anyone else that needs help, pay
them instead of me-"
i've tried TO pay up that
debt ever since" Sanders often
remarked before his death.
Since he had been abused so
much at home and was forced
TO run away TO his uncle, San
ders became a lifelong advo-
cate of good orphanges as one
of the methods to repay the
debt.
