Within few hours after the nation
wide opening of the 1915 American
Red Cross War Fund campaign for
5000, 100000, some 25 Red Cross chap
tiers in distinctly agricultural districts,
out of total of 30, reported to Ma
tional Headquarters they had already
exceeded their quotas. This splendid
showing again proves that American
farmers and rural residents are 1000
behind the Red Cross.
The largest number of volunteer
campaign workers in the history of
the Red Cross, 100000, started the
campaign March l on house-to-house
canvass basis in every city and com
the country over. Every effort
has been made this year to speed the
collection of the Red Cross War Fund
in order to save manpower and wind
up the campaign as soon as possible.
Among the agricultural areas first 60
ing over the top were:
Nicollet County, st. Peter, Mimi;
Blaine county, Dunning, Neb.; Chey-
enne county, St. Francis, Kan. Sum-

erency, thereby having 1nSur-
ance against sudden wide fluc-
tuations which lead to panic
and economic collapse. The
amendment is obviously pro-
posed with the hope of future
control of this world bank.
Under the Breton Woods pro-
gram, the governments of the
participating nations exercise
complete control.
The Breton Woods program may
be said to implement the Dumbarton
Oaks political program for a world
order to bring lasting peace, by an
economic program which proposes to
balance the worlds distribution of
goods, and ending what has been
called national desperation" as a
cause of war.
The attitude of the American Bank
ers Association in this case is con-
sistent with its attitude on many of
the Improvements proposed in the
past in relation to their own business.
The organization fought the Federal
Reserve System the present-day foun-
dation of our entire banking system.
1t did everything it could to defeat
the establishment of the Securities
and Exchange Commission which has
stayed wild speculation and wildcat
stocks from the securities market. 1t
opposed the Banking Act of 1895, con-
yerting the Federal Reserve System
from a private to a public banking
system. 1t fought frantically against
the insurance of bank deposits which
has done away with bank failures,
runs and panics.
The opposition by the American
Association to the program
obviously originates with the inter-
national bankers, whose principal
source of profits may be said to be
fluctuations in rates of exchange. This
clique want to regain again their
former power over money and thereby
over governments including our own.
There are many banking organizations
who do not favor the actions of the
ABA. Among them is the Philadel-
phia Bankers Association which is on
record for the Breton Woods pro-
gram.
The propaganda line employed
against the Breton Woods agree
ment and which has been noticeable
in the press Of the country, is that
the United States is again going to be
the "fall guy" and have to put up the
bulk of the nine billions of the Inter-
national Monetary Fund for the stabil-
ization Of the worlds currencies. This
Is proved false, as Russia, France and
Holland have already asked to be
permitted to put up larger shares than
are allotted to them by original pro-
gram. These countries did so, be-
cause the larger the quota, the greater
the voting power. AS the program
divided the fund, Americas quota is
sufficient to control all of the funds,
and would have twice the voting pow
err of either Great Britain or Russia
and more than the combined voting

Committee ON
SURPLUS WAR
PROPERTY REPORT

WASHINGTON-Fixed prices, trade
credit refunds to unsatisfied pur-
chasers, and abandonment of the ''as-
is-where-is" policy for surplus con-
sumer-goods sales, are proposed in
behalf of small business in a report
released today by Chairman Tom
Stewart of the Surplus War Proper
| ty subcommittee of the senate small
business committee.
He is joined by all members of the
subcommittee, Sen. Robert A. Taft,
tee on small business, Sen. James E.
Murray, in opposing price reductions
on large lots of goods and the sale of
goods to spectators to the detriment
of small enterprisers in new or estab-
Ilished independent businesses.
The Surplus Property Act sets up
purchase priorities for state and local
governments and unsupported insti-
tutions, for veterans and, under GER
tain circumstances, for small bust
nesses. The subcommittee believes
the act to be sound and workable,
and that it is primary responsible
ity of all concerned" to gain addition
al experience before suggesting
amendments"
The report, largely devoted to the
problems of the treasury department
in disposing of consumer goods,
which, it estimates, will ultimately ag-
gregate between seven and eight bill
n 81 VIC 1I1o coils Hhn1d
and Imaginative" disposal planning.
These goods will present ''the infinite
variety of tire equippage for mod
ern army" it continues, and their cost
to the government will bear little
relation to what may be realized" on
them in commercial markets.
The charge is made that the treas
ury's "as-is-where-is" sales policy has
generally operated to the disadvan-
tage of small business and the en-
couragement of spectators. On "uni-
form treatment" the subcommittee is
positive and emphatic" that small
business must be able to buy goods
at the same price big businesses in
the particular distributive level con-
cerned are able to buy if it is to be
given "a chance that is indeed real
chance"
The need for rebates on misrepre-
scented goods is pointed to in the re-
port and the action of the surplus
property board on February 1, author
izing machinery for this purpose
through the central claims appeal
committee, is commended.
"Sale of goods to the original manu-
facturer has no special virtues in and
of itself" comments the report;
where disposal to the manufacturer
has clear-cut advantages in terms of
the sbjectives of the act, the goods
should be offered, if possible, to all
manufacturing firms,
rather than the original manufacturer
only"
Treasury should undertake, the sub
committee asserts, IAN adequate re-
search program" to find civilian uses
and adaptations for use of exclusively
goods, which constitute at
present about one-fourth of it's sur
plus.
In the instance of priority for tax
supported entities, the subcommittee
