Captures Many Prizes at Lead'

•Remarkable Showing Made at Interna*
ticna! Live Stock Show at Chi
cago—Carried Off Sweepstakes
For All Wheat.
Something that lends emphasis to,
and affords definite proof of, the gen
erosity of .the soil and climate of
western Canada, is shown by the
numerous exhibits made by both the
government and individual fanners
and stock raisers of that country, at
mnny of the leading state and county
fairs in the United States this season.
Particularly Is this the case with re
gard to exhibits made at the Inter
national Live Stock Show recently
held at Chicago. .
First and foremost to the average
fanner will appeal the fact that
•Canada carried off the Sweepstakes
for all wheat, and that out of a total
of twenty-five prizes, Canada took
twenty. In oats the Grand Champion
ship was won by a farmer living in
the Province of Alberta. Canada also
was awarded the championship for
Durinu wheat, while for Flint Corn out
of a total of ten prizes, Canada took
first, second, third, sixth and seventh.
Not only in grains did Canada prove
her right to rank as a first class agri
cultural country, but she carried off
many prizes for cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs, a partial list of which fol
lows :
Cattle, Canada was awarded the
championship for Grade Shorthorns,
also In the College Special class, Can
ada gained first, fourth and sixth
prizes.
Horses, Grand Championship for
Clydesdale stallion, also Grand Cham
pionship for American bred mare, as
well as first for threeryear-oUl Clydes
dale stallion, first for one-year-old
Clydesdale stallion, and second for
the aged class.
In the Belgian class. Canada ob
tained first and reserve for Champion
ship Belgians, as well as second for
Aged stallion.
Sheep, Canada obtained Champion
ship for block, male and female, in
addition to first prize in all group
prizes.
Hogs. In the Yorkshire class Canada
was very prominent, taking the Cham
pionship for pen of Yorkshires, and
championship for best single barrow,
ns well as over twenty first, second
and third prizes in other classes of
Yorkshires.
With regard to the live stock shown
it must be borne in mind that these
have not been fed on corn, on which
tlie average western farmer places his
reliance, but on tlie wonderful oats
■and barley grown in western Canada,
jfc supplemented by the native grasses,
■of which a most artistic display was
made by our neighbors to tlie north.
Canada has conclusively proved that
not only can she take prizes for the
grain she raises, but can also take
prizes with the animals to which
these grains have been fed, and this
in open competition with the world

Heading Foreign Trade Fi
nancing Plan, Former S. 0.
Banker Asks Business Men
and Farmers to Subscribe.
Chicago, Dec. 13 (United News).—
A nation wide campaign is to be
launched at once among the finan
cial, commercial and agricultural in
terests of the United States to obtain
the $100,000,000 necessary to float the
foreign trade financing corporation.
Instant response to the appeals for
this amount by the business interests
of the country Is expected by the
leaders who formed the corporation
at a momentous conference here.
As soon as it is procured, it will be
used as a hypodermic to stimulate the
paralyzed arm of foreign Industry,
and, co-incidentally, secure the future
of American export trade.
McHugh to Announce Committee.
“On my return to New York I will
announce the names of the executive
committee of nine members who are
to work out the organization details
of the corporation,” said John Mc
Hugh, former Sioux City banker,
chairman of the committee on perma
nent organization, who is to be chair
man of the board of directors, here
Sunday.
“As soon the the officers! are
named, and the corporation is for
mally launched, we will bring Into
being a nation wide campaign for the
$100,000,000 needed to start our work.
He urged business men and farmers
to subscribe.
“You can be assured that there will
be no delay through any fault of the
organization committee.”
McHugh Points Out Feature.
Mr. McHugh declared the most in
spiring feature of the decision of the
great group of financial, farm and
business leaders who decided to
launch the corporation, was the “un
animity of purpose of every branch of
our business life."
Western manufacturers, who have
done extensive export business, were
of one mind in declaring that exten
sion of long time credits to Europe
through the corporation was the one
step needed to avert Industry par
alysis in this country.
“We have great faith in the future
of the new corporation," said Edward
N. Hurley, former chairman of the
shipping board, and one of the most
influential manufacturers in the west.
“We, the manufacturers, have com
plained in the past that we had no
banks in foreign countries. Now we
have the banks. Then we complained
that we had no merchant marine. Now
we have the merchant mariner Then
we complained that we had no cus
tomers. Now we have the customers.
Then we insisted that they pay us in
in gold. They have no gold. Our ex
port business is, therefore, practi
cally paralyzed.
Where Corporation Comes In.
"That is where this corporation
"comes in. Through it we will be able
to extend long credits, on gilt edged
debentures. These debentures will
be secured by the foreign govern
ments.
“This corporation is going to be
profitable for the investor, but pri
marily it is going to benefit the entire
country. Evary manufacturer who
makes goods for foreign sale, every
man who works for him. and. indi
rectly every other line of busines.
“There are 35.000 manufacturers
making goods here for export. Ev- -
ery one of them should take stock in
this corporation, and, I belive, will do
so.
“When the American farmer stops
to think that one-third of his produce
is raised for foreign consumption, and
that low prices today are partly due
to cessation of foreign buying, he too
will be interested in this corporation.”
Leaders here Sunday pointed out
that this is the first time in American
history when a corporation 'of this
size has been organized “in the open.”
Booth Emphasizes Point.
Willis IT. Booth, vice president of
the Guarantee Trust Company, em
phasized this point:
“Here is a great corporation organ
ized in' the open and in the presence
of the representatives of the press,
without any inside group, without
any founders’ stock, or bonus shares,"
he said. “Here also is an underwrit
ing done in the open without discount
commissions, or private profits. This
is all as inspiring as it is unusual. It
gives the corporation a moral start of
the highest kind.”
This point was also stressed by
leaders of every group present at the
conference. There was no skepticism
ns to motives or purpose. The only
“cold water" thrown, was in the form
of telegrams from certain New York
and New Jersey financial interests,
who, leaders declared privately, “had
a personal axe to grind."
Who’ll Head Corporation?
Considerable speculation is going
the rounds as to who will head the
new corporation. it was declared
after an informal conference Sunday
that Julius Barnes, former head of
the United States Grain Corporation,
had been offered the place, but had
declined. It is known that Paul M.
Warburg, New York financier, also
declined the place. Herbert Hoover is
also said to have been unable to
serve. Hoover is a member of the
permanent committee on organization
and is expected to be a member of
the board of directors.

-The "Immediate outstanding duty
of the country,” fn the opinion of
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, whose
annual report has just been jnactc
. public here, is the provision for ade
quate shore bases for the navy on the
Pacific coast.
“The day will never come when a
powerful fleet will not he based In the
Pacific,” says the secretary.
Commenting on the recent inspec
tion trip of the congressional joint
committee, which visited the Pacific
coast, Secretary Daniels says lie ex
pects “they will place definitely be
fore congress a comprehensive pro
gram of naval base construction in
consonance with the high strategic
importance of this territory."
Would Fortify Islands.
"Hawaii, 'the cross roads of the
Pacific,r" he declares, “is of such
strategic importance and offers such
possibilities of development that naval
authorities agree that there should
be created there a fleet-operating
base extensive enough to accommo
date the entire fleet with all auxil
iaries.”
The secretary adds that the pro
ject for developing the Island of
Guam, as a naval base is progressing,
and that the naval station at Cavite,
in the Philippines “is to be developed
moderately.”
0 “Progress in Expansio.”
Of the service as a whole. Secretary
Daniels says that the task of build
ing up the navy “has gone forward
until we possess a navy worthy of
America.” Taking his cue from I’r -
ident Wilson’s speech in St. Louis in
1916, In which the president said the
American navy “ought to be incom
parably the most adequate navy in
the world.” Secretary Daniels confi
dently asserts that its attainment b
now in sight. “For," he adds, “the
navy today is incomparably stronger
than ever before, and its power w.ll
be greatly increased by the battle
ships and cruisers now building.”
He reports construction of the 16
capital ships authorized in the three
year building program ol’ 1916 is go
ing forward after its suspension dur
ing the war.
“These battleships of -1 ;i.2 >0 tor.«
and battle cruisers of 43.Di : tons will.”
he declares, “be larger and mint pow

the recommendation of th-* genera’

Secretary Daniels opposes estab

such as is proposed in several hills
now before congress.
Secretary Daniels reiterates his
view that all wireless apparatus

Of the International Cominuni.-a

Senator From Iowa Demands
Baker Explain Why There
Was Discrimination
Against Many.
Tribune Washington Bureau.
Washington. Dec. 13. -Senator
Cummins announced Sunday that ho
intended to go to ttie bottom of the
action of the war department .n dis
t.., minuting uguinst .soldiers of tho
national army and national guard in
the mutter of grunting war erodes
and war medals.
He has written a letter to Secretary
Baker calling for a list of Iowa sol
diers granted distinguished sort ico
crosses or medals, a list of those rec
ommended for such honors by their
superior officers and a statement of
the reasons why tjio recommenda
tions of the superiors' were not fol
lowed. Senator Cummins has taken
this action with the backing of l ha
Iowa delegation and at the instance
of prominent members of the Ameri
can Kxpeditlonary forces in Iowa.
Such men as Col. Wilbur Conkllng,
and Col. Guy S. Brewer, as well as
others well known for their service
in France, have protested in behalf
of comrades who. it is alleged, have
not had a square deal.
Lasher Protests for lowans.
Adjutant General Lasher conferred
with Senator Cummins recently and
protested in behalf of numerous Iowa
veterans and American Legion posts,
"With only 3 per cent, of the offi
cers in the service at the front be
longing to tho regular army, they
have won over half the crosses," said
Senator Cummins. “The national
army and national guard have both
been discriminated against in a man
ner which is utterly indefensible and
outrageous. I have asked Secretary
Baker for the facts and while I have
not heard from him it seems to me
there is no defense for It.”
Congressional Probe Likely.
If Senator Cummins cannot get this
matter straightened out under the
regime of Secretary Baker, he will
follow it up in the new administra
tion and under the new secretary of
war.
Similar oomplaints are made In
other states and it is not at all un
likely there will be a general in
quiry by the Senate or House mili
tary committee Into the whole sub
ject in a national wayT
If the representations made by vet
erans of the national army and the
national guard are correct, there la
no doubt such an investigation should
be made.
Chicago Saloons
Quarantined Against
Sale of Liquor
Chicago, Dec. 13 (tlnited News).—.
Hundreds of Chicago saloons blos
somed out Sunday with large yellow
"quarantine signs" over the doora
warning the world that "liquor must
not be purchased within.”
The saloons are posted, as inebri
ates used to be, under restraining or

violation of prohibition.
"Beware” in letters two feet high,
is the first word on the poster.
It goes on to inform the possible

restrained from selling liquor by
Judge Landis. Anyone buying intox
icating beverages here will be held in
contempt of court and prosecuted
with the proprietor.”

Chicago, Dec. 13 (United Nows).—
Dissatisfaction among 80,000 work

a protest meeting Monday night.
George Youstra, secretary of the
stock yards labor council, who called
the meeting, said discontent was
spreading among the men.
Strike action may be taken, he de
clared.
Judge Alsehuler's award gave
retroactive bonuses to certain classes
of workers, but turned down a gen
eral increase on the ground that liv
ing costs are declining.
