A bill designed to prevent the doctoring or adulteration of the sick man's liquor was introduced today by Representative Vare, republican of Pennsylvania.

Smith, retiring governor.

'1, 9 on the part of exporters to shift the 1 financing of their operations from ordinary commercial channels to the government. This would be unfortunate.

It would continue the government as an active factor in ordinary business operation. If activities of any considerable magnitude resulted they would necessitate the imposition of additional taxes or further borrowing, either through the war finance corporation or by the treasury. In either case, new burdens would be laid upon -all the people. Further borrowing would in all likelihood tap the very sources which might otherwise be available for private operations or which the treasury is now compelled to reach to meet current obligations of the government. There is no question that the borrowing of the government should be limited to the minimum requirements, and that the government should not be called upon further.

to finance private busi ness at public expense. To the ex tent that Europe is able to furnish additional securities private finan cial institutions here will doubtless find means of giving the necessary accommodation. The way has been opened for added legitimate efforts to promote foreign trade. Financial agencies in aid of exports, privately financed, have already been planned to operate under the act approved December 24,1919. authorizing the organization of corpora tions to do foreign banking busi ness.

One corporation has been or ganized in the south and a second of larger scope is in course of de velopment. These agencies may be expected to act as promptly and as liberally and helpfully as sound bus iness conditions will permit, Through reliance of such enter prises, rather than through govern ment intervention, may we expect to secure a return to stable busi ness relations. For many month's there has been a demand that war agencies should be abolished, and there should be less government in terference with business. I have sympathized with this view, and believe that it is applicable to foreign trade as well as to domestic busi ness. am of the opinion that now.

more than two years after the ar mistice, the nation should resume its usual business methods, and re turn to its reliance on the initiative intelligence and ability of its bus! ness leaders, and financial institu tions. "We shall not witness an immediate satisfactory adjustment of domestic and international trade relations. The burdens of war are not lifted when the fighting ceases. One sad thing about war is that it leaves behind it a legacy of economic ills and of suffering from which there is no escape. Conditions, however, are improving both here and abroad.

The difficulties with which we are now confronted are of small consequence i comparison with those which we have met and over come. Fuller restoration awaits the adoption of constructive measures of large consequences; the secure establishment of a just peace in the world; the cessation of fighting everywhere: the more complete re sumption in Europe of the normal courses of industry, the return of her people to sounder fiscal 'and banking policies and the breaking down within her borders of harmful restrictions. WOODROW WILSON. The White House January 3, 1921. BABES IN THE WOODS Balloonist Long Missing, in Touch With Civilization (By Associated Press Leased Wire) ROCKAWAY, N.

Jan. 3. Three missing naval balloonists of the A-5598 who had been the ob jects of a frantic search through northern New York and Canada since they dropped from sight here three weeks ago, today are enroute home from the snowy wilds of Ontario, via dog sleds. The trio landed near Moose Fac tory, a remote trading post of the Hudson Bay Company on December 14, the day after they started from Roc ka way. After four days in the woods, they found safe ty at the post.

Word of their rescue reached here in a telegram from the fliers, sent by messenger to the near est telegraph office at Mattice, and relayed thence upon the arrival of the messenger last night. The mes sage read: "Driven by storm Monday. 12-13 west by north, at Lower Hudson Bay. Forced to land at 2 p. m.

12-14 about ten miles north by east of Moose Factory, Latitude 51.50 Longitude 81.00. Lost in forest four days. Crew safe at Hudson post. Will leave on first available means of transportation to railroad, which is -by dog sled and will take about nine days. Leaving here Monday December 27." If the balloonists got away on the 27th and if they made as good time as they expected they should be back in touch with civilization at a railroad station, probably Mattice, tomorrow or Wednesday.

Aviation officers, however, inclined to the opinion that it will be several days before the balloonists. unaccustomed to dog sled travel, work theif way out of the frozen north country.

The accident occurred at the Jones home in Utica, while the young man was preparing to go hunting He was talking to some friends in the yard, and resting the iioint of the gun on his right foot. How it was discharged he does not know, but the force of the shot blew his entire foot off.

He was brought to Salina and the mangled foot amputated. He is improving and will recover.

The procedure was made necessary by the fact that train service caused considerable delay between the time of the accident and the time of the operation, weakening the patient so.

that he could not edure ordinary medical treatment. LIVED HERE NEARLY 50 YEARS Mrs. Emma Nelson Died Today at Home Near Smolan Mrs. Emma Nelson. 67, a resident of this county for the past forty years, died this morning at 1:20 at the home, one mile west and two miles north of Smolan.

SAYS SENATOR THOMAS RE GARDING CANAL ASKS A TREATY RATIFIED WANTS 2 5.0 0 0.0 0 0 TURNED OVER TO PANAMA Only Comfort for Story is That It Finds no Precedent in Our History." Thomas Declared Today (By Associated Press Leased Wire) WASHINGTON. Jan. 3. Ameri can conduct in the negotiations for the construction of the Panama Canal, begun first with the Republic of Columbia and later carried on with the revolution built state of Panama, were 'without justification and therefore indefensible," Senator Thomas, democrat, Colorado, de clared today in the -senate, speak- ng for ratification of the treaty in involving payment of a $25,000,000 ndemnity to Colombia, which nas been pending several years. He recounted the involved story of the diplomatic and commercial dealings of 1903 which finally resulted inthe canal's construction and charged that President Theodore Roosevelt "acquired the right of way for the canal from a band of filibusters by bartering for it the honor of the nation." "The only comfort one gathers from the shameful and sordid story that it finds no precedent in our history," he said in stating his conclusions.

"I trust that we may soon acknowledge the wrong and make some reparation lest it be invoked some time to shelter or justify assault upon the integrity of some weak and helpless nation." President Roosevelt conduct from the commencement to the close of the episode fortunately has no parallel in the diplomatic history of the United States," Senator Thomas charged, declaring that the United States shared responsibility to a greater or less degree for the revolution, which set up a new state on the Isthmus when Columbia re fused to ratify a treaty with the United States governing the canal. "Preparations were making under his very nose for a vaudeville Isth mian insurrection, the Senator ad ded, "to which he must have shut his ej-es, for otherwise he would have seen them, and filled his ears with cotton, for otherwise he would have heard them." Facts as to the participation of the government in successful insur rection. Senator Thomas charged, had been suppressed by President Roosevelt and copies of official dis patches bearing upon it demanded by senate resolutions had been withheld or mutilated. "The man who suppresses or de stroys testimony," he said, "stands self convicted. Mr.

Roosevelt acquired the right of way for the canal from a band of filibusters by bartering for it the honor of the na tion. i. "Between justice and our offense against Colombia, there can be reconciliation only through national atonement. Until these things are done, our championship of small na tions and weak peoples are as the sound of tinkling cymbals. When we shall have squared our actions with our sentiments, Latin-America will grasp our extended hand, and Pan-America will then assume the material proportions of an enduring structure."

"The joint resolution directs the revival of the actlvties of the- war finance corporation.

This corpora- tlon is a governmental agency. Its capital stock is owned entirely by the United States. It was created during hostilities for war purposes. The temporary powers which it is proposed to revive were conferred in March 1919 to assist if necessary, in the financing of exports. The general powers of the corporation expire six months after the termination of the war, and the special powers with respect to the financing of exports expire one year after the termination of the war.

While we are technical-. ly still in a state of war, it unquestionably was presumed, when this added power was granted, that peace would have been formally proclaimed before this time and that the liml-tation of one year would have expired. 'Mn May. 1920. in view of the fact that export trade had not been Interrupted but had greatly expanded and that exports were being privately financed, in large volume, the war finance corporation, at th request of the secretary I of tno treasury and with my approval, suspended the making of advances.

"This resolution was passed by the congress apparently in view of the recent sudden and considerable fall In prices, especially of agricultural commodities, with the thought that some European countries to which ceitaln products were customarily shipped before the war might again be enabled to resume their, importation and that larger masses of domestic exports to Eu- ropean countries generally might bo stimulated, with the resulting enhancement of domestic prices. I am In full sympathy with every, sound proposal to promote foreign trade along sound business lines. I am not convinced that the method proposed is wise, that the benefits, if any. would offset the evils which "would result, or that the same or larger advantages cannot be secur-M without resort to government intervention. On tho contrary I apprehend that the resumption of the corporation's activities at this time would exert no beneficial influence on the situation in which improvement is sought; would raise false hopes among the very people who would expect most, and would be hurtful to the natural and orderly processes of business and finance.

"Large government credits were extended during the war to certain European governments associated with us In the struggle. These ceased several months after the armistice, except for committments already made. They should not now be resumed, either directly or indirectly. The recent Brussels conference, composed of experts from many European countries and from other nations. Itself expressed the opinion that further credits should not be accorded directly by governments.

I da not believe that they should be accorded indirectly. "Exports of domestic products havo not declined since the armistice. On the contrary they have greatly increased. From an aggregate value before the war of less than 2 1-2 billions of dollars and of about six billions the last year of hostilities, they rose In the calen- dar year 1919 to more than and this figure will probably be exceeded for the last calendar year. For the first eleven months of last calendar year we exported more than 7 and a half billion dollars worth of domestic merchandise.

These havo been large-l ly privately financed. The- difficulty in the way of still larger exports does not seem to He so much In tho lack of financial ability here as In Europe's lack of means to make payment. Her productive en- 'ergiea and the services which she rendered have not yet reached a point where they balance the value of commodities taken from this nation, and her ability to furnish for additional exports- securities which business men would feel justified in taking is restricted. The exports committee of the Brussels conference reported that 'one of the chief obstacles to the granting of credits Is the absence In borrowing countries of sufficient securities for ul- timate repayment. "Until this obstacle is removed it ts difficult to see how materially larger exports to Europe are to be made even If exporters, aided or unaided by government finance, stand ready to do their part.

It is remarkable that Europe Is able to make an effective demand for as large a volume of our goods as she Is making. It is gratifying evidence of her recovery and progress tow ards full production and sounder financial conditions. "Under the law. if the activities of the corporation were resumed. no direct advances could be made to producers and, if they could be.

they would not accomplish tho ob iects. in vlewi They would not create demand for our products, They could be made only to export ers or to banks engaged In flnanc ing exports and If they did in some measure stimulate exports they would probably not have the effect apparently most desired of substan tlally increasing those, of agricultural commodities. Already, with the larger volume of which Europe is taking from us, she is ex ercislng her option, such as meats. presumably because she herself has become more largely self-sufficient or is again providing herself with supplies from distant countries which, with the opening up of shipping since the armistice, has once more found their place In the markets or the world. Tt is highly probable that the most Immediate and-conspicuous ef feet of the resumption of the.

corpor Before any farmer in Saline county allows himself to be separated from $18 by the Non-Par-tisan League organizers who aro combing this territory, he should ask himself why the hurry. The election is over and there will not be another for two years. And, incidentally, it would le well to remember that the man who is soliciting the membership has been specially drilled at great expense to tell a good story and that he is talking for a commission first, last and all the time. Taxes are high enough in Kansas already, but if the Non-Partisan League gains control of affairs as they did in North Dakota, they may be expected to double and treble. In North Dakota they jumped 115 per cent in the year, from 1918 to 19t9, and from 1918 to 1920 they jumped nearly 200 per cent.

In the elections this fall the Non-Partisan League lost in Minnesota, Colorado, Idaho, Montana and other states. It almost lost out Jn North Dakota where the farmers have had the best chance to observe its workings, and it is only because it is in desperate need of money that it is operating in Kansas. Before your $18 has been taken away from you is the best time to make your investigation. Mr. Farmer.

There is no special reason why you should hurry to dig up the money for these organizers, who make up the milking squad. Naturally they want your money to bolster up their falling air castles in North Dakota, but there is no reason why you should not take time to investigate-before you put up your cash. Take your time and see -whether investigation will not show that will be thrown away In salaries and ex-. penses for a crew of financial parasites, while all the farmer gets is the rather doubtful honor of being a member of an Organ-' ization which is no longer in' very good standing with its own members, and is forced to seek new victims in order to get the funds to repair the wrecked machine in North. Dakota.
