Strong Says U. S.
May Be Forced to
Cancel Interest
Head of New York Reserve
Bank Concludes Defense of
Sy6tem Before Congres
sional Commission.
Washington, Aug. 12. American
producers may be forced to urge
cancellation of interest charges on
the allied government's debts to the
United States, Governor Strong of
the New York federal reserve bank
told a joint congressional commis
sion yesterday, in concluding a pro
longed defense he has made before it
of the reserve aystem'a operations.
He expressed no direct opinion of
the proposed cancellation, but de
clared that the economic structure of
the country depended upon foreign
marketing of surplus raw material,
that extension of further credits to
foreign buyers would not help and
that foreigrt exchange quotations,
which necessarily were influenced by
German reparations payments, had
further complicated the difficulties
of American exporters.
"The international payment of a
given sum in dollars to the United
States cannot be used both to re
duce debts and interest," he said,
"and at the same time buy goods.
Isn't it of the greater advantage to
the United States that the purchas
ing power Europe is able to develop
be used to consume surplus Amer
ican goods, rather than to pay
interest on debts? This is a ques
tion of policy for congress with
Which I have no connections or con
cern but I am going to ask you to
consider it in connection with the
fact that our export market for the
farming products is of the greatest
importance."
Because of the cost of keeping a
maid in Germany, mere than half of
the women of the upper class, who
used to keep maids, now do their
own work.

Clues Found In
Murder Mystery

covery of Body of Unidenti
fied Man Near Clarinda;
Foul Play Evident.
Shenandoah, la., Aug. 11. (Spe
cialsFootprints of a woman and a
man are the only definite clues in a
murder mystery that is stirring
Page county following the finding
of the unidentified body of a man
yesterday afternoon in a corn field
on the farm of Frank McKee, 10
miles south of Clarinda.
The coroner, county attorney and
an undertaker took the body to
Clarinda, where it was buried im
mediately, as it was in such a de
composed condition that it could
not be held.
Evidently the man had met with
foul play. A bullet hole was found
in the upper part of the forehead.
An automatic cartridge shell was
found near the body.
The man measured five feet, seven
inches tall and weighed about 150
pounds. He was dressed in khaki
shirt and trousers and wore a United
States army belt. Twenty-two dol
lars in bills was found in his pockets.
His shoes were off and lay some dis
tance from the body. Nearby were
found a spool of thread and a
threaded needle. The man's hair is
red and is of fine texture. The ad
dress Baker, Ore., was in an empty
package in his pocket. The man's
age has been estimated at irom M
to 40 years. The body had been
dragged about 40 feet, appearances
indicated.
Inquest is being delayed until
more information is secured.
Today there are at least a million
girls in Japan who are employed in
postoffices, banks, railroad effkes,
schools, telephone and telegraph
offices, etc.
