Plans Made for
Liquidation of
WarDebttoU.S.
Scheme Contemplates Con
version of Demand Notes
Held by America Into
Interest-Bearing Bonds.
By HOLLAND.
Ten billion dollars, which is rep
resented by nothing but demand
notes now held in the federal treas
ury, constitute one of the burdens
which the United States treasury is
carrying and stand also as an ob
stacle in the way of the restoration of
normal international relations. Some
thing must he done as soon as pos
sible that will lead to a settlement of
this enormous indebtedness. The at
tention of the public and probably
of the majority of the members of
congress has been centered upon
questions of taxation and tariff. The
administration is occupied with some
of our international relations. But
although this indebtedness of which
i he United States is the creditor
seems not to have been included in
the nubile mind in the other mo
mentous problems which the admin
istration and this congress must
solve, nevertheless it is known that
the attention of the administration
has within a few days been called to
the necessity of early conferences
with our allies to the end that this
debt mav be so handled so as to be
out of the way.
' Considering Indebtedness.
The secretary of the treaaury. Mr. Met
hlv President Harding lm-
nlf. hav given much thought to thl In
debtedness. Today it l In th ehap ot
an enforced moratorium, not vn going
to th extent which characterise mon
formal postponements ot payment of dbt
by th mill vl th lime wnen mt mor.
torlum lto be ended. The proeraattnated
payment li tolerated by the Treaaury de
partment, although It would be poselble
fol' the United State to demand Immedi
ate payment ot theee not.
The reaaone are excellent for believing
that the attention of congress will be
called to thie matter and that there may
hi- recommendations for the consideration
of emigres with respect to the handling
of thla Indebtedness. In fact, within a few
deya aome who are prominently associated
with the administration have been In In
formal conference with men who have
been giving study to thla problem and
whe believe that they have been able to
formulate a plan by which the debt may
be satisfactorily handled at an early day.
Oc Settlement oon..
Suggeation wa made to high admlnla
tration officials at these conferences that
the United States talte steps aa aoon as
sooti aa possible In the direction of a set
tlement with Or cat Britain, with France,
with Italy, and with the other allies,
which borrowed funds from the American
people while the war Was In progress.
What the United Statea authorities will
propose to these national debtors la that
there be a settlement upon a permanent
basis as early aa possible. Presumably
this- could be done If our debtors were
willing that an exchange -be made which
would convert the demand notes Into
bonds having at long time to run and bear
ing a reasonable rats of Interest. The
United States would be willing to grant
any reasonable time for the liquidation ot
these bonds, perhaps as long a time a
SO yeara. It would be necessary, how
ever that the .payment of the ' Interest
uror. the bonds b assured.
Furthermore, the us;tlon was made
that H our debtor allies are "willing to
Issue bonds with which to taRe up the
demand notes, then In that way the
United .States would be able to aecure par
tial liquidation at leRat of our great war
debt. For If Great Britain, Franos, Italy,
Belgium and, the other debtora were to
take up the demand notes with bonds,
then It our government would guarantee
tho payment of the principal and Interest
of these bonds and If they carried a
reasonable rate of Interest, they would
be offered to the holders of Liberty bonds
and Victory note. : Our abler financiers
are of the opinion that almost all of the ,
possessore of .Victory notes and Liberty
bonds would ' gladly exchange them for
the bonds issued tty our Indebted allies,
for the liquidation of. the demand notes
now held in the treasury.
Would Llqndate fJebt.
In that way some $10,VOo,000,000 of our
war debt would be liquidated, at least so
far as the government itself Is concerned.
The Indebtedness In the form of nego
tiable bonds would pass to the people as
an Investment.
This plan eeeme to ., have appealed to
certain unembers of the administration.
It is known that Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon ha been giving to this- propo
sition careful consideration. Were this in
debtedness out ot the way. not any longer
embarrassing the Treasury department,
fiermanently settled through the Issue of
ond whlclt eland for the) resources, good
faith and credit of our allies. It would
be all the mora easy to work out other
financing problems. An arrangement of
this Kind would be of avail In reducing
taxation. It would be Influential In the
framing of a tariff law and It would
enable our allies, all of wjom are anxloua
to Increase trade with the United States,
tho mora easily to acoompllsh that.
Hearing to Be Given on . v
Federal Wheat Grades
Washington, April , 18. Secretary
Wallace will receive a delegation
from Minnesota,. who, it -is1 reported,
will ask for changes in some of the
"requirements of the federal wheat
grades, particularly, for hard red
spring wheat, rat 2 p. m. Wednesday,
April 27. It is understood that this
delegation is coming because of ac
tion taken recently, by the Minnesota
legislature looking to the re-establishment
of the . former Minnesota
states grades unless changes are
made in the. federal grades. It is
announced that the secretary will be
glad to have present at the meeting
the representatives of any other . in
terests who would like, to hear the
proposed charges, and that ample op
portunity will be afforded them to
present their view after the Minne
sota delegation has been heard.. ,
New Issue of Farm Land
Bonds' Is Now Available
The new issue of $40,000,000 farm
loan bonds, under the federal farm
loan act held constitutional by the
United States supreme court Febru
ary 28, was made available to th
public yesterday, accor'ding to an
nouncement by D. P. Hogan, presi
dent of the federal land bank of
Omaha. ' r
"TJic market ' for these bonds,"
aid M Hoganl "will be active for
more than sentimental reasons to
aid the farmers, because they rank
today as ' among the highest class
securities on the . American market,
paying a substantial interest rate
and having unusual tax, exemption
features.' The Federal Land bank of
Omaha has a limited amount of these
bonds for sale in this territory.-

New York, April, 18. An atmos
phere of indecision seemed to per
vade most markets today, with fre
quent change of the direction ex
penses were moving, yet, in the end,
with little alteration in the position
of things. Money rates held firm.
Even the call loan market did not
vary from 7 per cent. Foreign ex
change was strong, but only to the
extent of retracing the declines of
last week. The grain markets at the
start continued Saturday's sharp re
covery, then suddenly turned down
ward again, with wheat, for July de
livery falling back to last week's
lowest price.
Or the itoek exchang the action of
prices was more or leas uncertain all day
and at the close net advance and net
decline fairly balanced on another.
None of three market reflected any other
Influence than tht (hiftlng position of
professional speculator, ana th only sig
nificance of th days' movement was its
Indication either of confusion of judgment
or uncertainty as to th Immediate drift
ot things. Railway share were generally
a fraction lower. The beginning today
of the labor board' hearings on the wage
reduction question at Chicago had no
apparent effect on the market's Idea, al
though th board' first action In refusing
th union' request for postponement, wae
reoognitton of th management s position
that the matter must bt oassed upon
promptly. That, Indeed, I a paramount

Th extraordlnry decrees of exports,

March as reported at Washington today
was from on viewpoint entirely logical.
from another a bit ttartung. Tn ucca
stv monthly statement hav been alow
In reflecting condition which all export
er know to exist. Actual shipment were
visibly declining with great rapidity uat
autumn, yet a tat aa December th
total of export surpassed all records for
that month. Last montns exports, now
aver, not only fell 1105.000.000 from Febnj
ary, 1331.000,000 from December, and
1435,000.000 from March of 1920, but tney

since July of 1117, and with that single
exception, th smallest alnce th first
month of lilt.
How much Of thl "perpendicular de

outbound movement, how much from the
fall In average price of exported goods,
and how much from the recent slipshod
carrying over of esports aotually made
In one month to tht statement for another.
It would be difficult to ay. Undoubtedly
II three Influence were at work. Our
xport of wheat and corn In March wa
aubstanttally larger In quantity than a
year ago. although price war much
lower, but our shipments of cotton were
cut down more than one-half In quantity
and probably 60 per cent In average value.
Along with thl great decline In export
as compared with recent months, imports
show progressiva lnere over February
and January.

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chlcagv Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire.
Chicago, April. 18. Grain markets
today reversed their action of Satur
day, being highest early and lowest
at the last. The factors that brought
about the change were the better
weather, indifference on the part of
the public to the buying aide, and
the break of nearly 7 cents in Win
nipeg. Net losses were 3tf4c on
wheat, ll4c on corn and HlHc
on oats and 2!44&c on rye.
The most important bear factor
in the wheat market was the heavy
selling of July, based on the break
in Winnipeg. The selling was led
by eastern professionals. Winnipeg
advanced 8 cents on Saturday on the
technical position and broke today
due to selling in expectations of the
passage of emergency tantf bill.
Traders who analyzed the situation
said they saw no reason why wheat
prices in the United Mates snouia
decline because Winnipeg did, as the
tariff bill will shut Out their wheat
from the states and strengthen values
here. But the trade was in a bearish
mood.
Damage by Freeze. 1
Good buying of May developed on the
break under 11.25, while stop loss selling
by th big commission house wa ef
fective from 11.26 down. Csh houses
picked up the offerings on th break.
Numerous reports of fretting wather
from all over the winter wheat Jelt were
received. Advice from Elll oouhty. Kan
one of the largest In the tate claimed
40 per cent damage.
Export business In wheat waa under
way although no figure wer given out.
Export buying of corn was th best In
weeks with over 100,000 bushel sold here
and 150,000 at the seaboard. Indication
were that more business wa don thn
reported. Charter were mad for 226.000
bushela, Stocks are on th decrsase with
a loss of 1,652,000 bushels In th visible
against an Increase of 161.000 bushels
last year, it being th flret big drop so
far. Receipts were 149 cars.
Break la Oat.
Oats had their advanc early and break
later with local traders the best eller.
Support wa poor on th decline. Th
flrlah waa at nearly the Insld at tto to
3Gc. A decrease of 1,009,000 bushels In
the visible and 803.000 bushels In local
stock had no affect. Receipt wr 127
Rye broke on local selling with the a
board doing little buying. Duluth old
50.000 bushels at 15c over May, c. 1. t.
Buffalo and Chicago sold 10.000 bushels
at 27c over May, track Baltimore. The
visible decreased 237.000 bushels.
Pit Note.
Receipt of wheat at Minneapolis were
489 cars, compared with 162 ear laat
week and 303 cara last year; Duluth re
ceived 68 cars, compared with 79 cars
last week and 62 cars last year.
Winnipeg receipts were 232 cars, against
102 cars last week and 304 car a year
ago. .
Charles Sincere ft Company received
following from Danville. 111., office:
"Light freeze don't think any damage
to wheat and oa,ts."
LeCount wires Stein. Alsteln . ft Com
pany from Grand Island, Neb.:
"Wheat looking fine, aland I good and
Is starting In fine shape. Crops this
territory decidedly above the average for
this time of year. Frost did not damage
wheat here. Weather cool.
Updike Lease Elevator.
Donahue & Stratton have leaeed the
Northwestern elevator at Milwaukee. Thia
house was formerly operated by Updike
& Company. '
Harold E. Tweeden of Taylor and Bour
nlqu company returned from an extended
trip over Illinol and Indiana, He saya:
"Through my Journey I waa unable to
find ' a faxmer who was willing to OnUr
Into any pooling arrangement for five
years. The other system of marketing
of grain presented by the Committe of
17 has not yet been presented to th
farmers In a way olesr to them and they
are hot saying much about it."
Sharper competition la being met In the
export market by United State Vheat.
Canadian grain trad realiiea that the
emergency tariff will ahut them Out .of
tht United State domestlo market and
that they must find another outlet. They
are now going after export business nd
the big break at Winnipig today would
indicate that they are not losing ,much
tim. rinims. tt. flesboard advices today
alab told of the fact that Manitoba wheat
Is filling most of the demand from for

Labor Unions Are
Bitterly1 Scored by
U. S. Steel Head
Chairman Gary Favors "Rea
sonable Control" of busi
ness Through Govern
ment Agencies.
New York, April 18. Elbert H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel corporation, told the stockhold
ers at their annual meeting today he
was in favor of "publicity, .regulation
and reasonable control" of business
through government agencies as a
possible "solution of or antidote to
the labor union problem.
Declaring Jie did not believe in so
cialism nor in governmental manage
ment or operation, he suggested that
nonpartisan, nonsectarian Commis
sions or departments render decisions
subject to. review by the highest
courts.
Continuing his succtestion, he said:
"Laws clear, well defined, prac
ticable and easy of comprehension
covering these matters might he
passed, and if so, they should apply
to all'economic organizations, groups
or bodies exceeding certain specified
numbers or amounts. Both organ
ized capital and organized .labor
should be placed under, these laws.
Each should be entitled to the same
protection and be subject to the same
restrictions and provisions.
Should Be Regulated.
"Will labor unions consent to this?
They . have heretofore objected.
Here would be a test. Labor union
leaders have before now asked and
received discriminatory exemptions.
This is wrong, and it would be just
as bad if the situation were reversed.
Employer generally desire only the
same treatment that is-accorded to
labor unions. The large majority of
workmen also would be satisfied
with this standard." 1
Mr. Gary devoted a considerable
portion of his address to labor unions
and said the natural ana .certain ei
fects of labor unionism are ex
pressed by three words: "Ineffi
ciency, high costs."
. "I would not intentionally do- an
injustice to any union labor leader,
nor to a labor union," he continued,
"but I firrqly believe complete- union
ization of the industry ot this coun
try would be the beginning of indus
trial decay."

"It seems to me." he said, "that
the natural, if not the necessary, re
sults of the contemplate- progress of
labor unions, if successtul, would be
control of shoDs. then of the general
management of the business, then of
capital and finally the government.
Admitting that unions "may have
been justified in the long past" be
cause workmen were not treated
justly, he declared there is now "no
necessity" for labor unions, "in the
opinion of the large majority of both
emoloyers and employes."
Turning to the subject of possible
reduction of working hours tor em
ployes of the steel corporation, Mr.
Garv sa d: " t he officers 01 tnis cor

safguard against extreme radicalism"
Americanization and related ques
tions formed the leading topic of the
discussion on the program for the
,10th continental congress of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion convening here today to remain
in session throughout the week.
Mrs. George M. Minor, president
general, declared that character
building to foster "the solid, sturdy
qualities that built up the nation and
which alone can presrfve it" is the
task before the organization.
"In the whirlpool left by the world
war," she said, "America is forgetting
the issues of the war, the struggle of
right against. might, of good against
evil. America is forgetting the hor
ror of what Germany did to the
world. . .
"The German-Siiin-Fein-socialist,
combination in this country will have
to be met fairly and squarely by all
loyal Americans and overcome once
for all if we are ever to find peace
from turmoil and unrest."
