before long as the income returns from stocks and bonds are still very attractive compared with going rates

on idle funds.

FOREIGN NEWS

MESSINA, Italy—The central portion of the town of San Fratello, including the cathedral, Oity Hail, a monastery, Consul house and the post office, has been engulfed by a gigantic landslide. Five thousand are

homeless.

CANNES—The conditions upon which Great Britain will agree to a defensive pact with France makes the first condition that there shall be no competition between France and England, and provides that Brtish naval experts shall confer with the French with a view to cutting! down the latter’s program to prevent such competition. The second condition calls for French agreement to the international Conference proposed for Genoa in March, which is to include Germany

and Russia.

LONDON—The British Cabinet was reported to have approved Lloyd George’s draft of an Anglo-French

pact.

DUBLIN—Eamonn de Valera will not recognize the legal existence of the Southern Irish Parliament, which has been ordered convened by President Arthur Griffith for the jmrpose of ratifying the Irish treaty, the former Sinn Fein president declared

in an interview here.

MOSCOW-e The Bolshevik Government will discuss with the Allies at Genoa payment by the Soviet treasury of all the debts incurred by the governments of Kerensky and the late Czar, Leo Kamenoff declared here.

Announcement that an international consortium will be formed for the purpose of rehabilitating Russian trade has been the principal outcome of the deliberations at Cannes. Discussion of the details connected with the organization of this enterprise is apparently to constitute the staple of the proceedings now planned for the Genoa conferences. With this the United States, according to unofficial announcements from the White House, is in accord. There is now r every prospect that we shall be suitably represented at Genoa, and that at least a beginning will be made toward working out of the present impasse in foreign economic affairs. This prospect has greafly tended to help the foreign exchange and investment situation

dnring the past week. Continued Improvement

Outlook

Definite figures for the month of November now show' that the earnings of Class I roads of that month .were approximately $66,000,000, or aoout 3.8 per cent. This is not a brilliant showing, but when it is remembered that the roads are now feeling the effects of the rate reductions of last autumn, and when allowance is made for the various difficulties with which they have been struggling, the result ns creditable. _ I Factors in Business Growrn ! The business, and particularly the manufacturing, situation, continues to show many factors of growth. Monthly tonnage returns for the Steel Cor-r j pcration, although indicating a slight falling off in orders, nevertheless is encouraging, because of the substan- 1 tial degree of activity at mills which, in the expectation of better business, has been continued and is, therefpre, reducing the volume of orders or. hand and unfilled to a limited extent. The halt in activity, which usually ; occurs around the holiday season, is now over in many lines, and manufacturing for spring orders has begun. | Reduction in Money Costs i This week has seen c^U money rates at a lower level than at any time during the last two years. Interesting in this connection also has been the decline of the acceptance rate, which has usually been taken to foreshadow a further cut in rediscount charges. Such reductions have already taken place at the Southern Reserve banks,' so that the system as a whole is moving toward a lower level of money cost. Meantime, the continued recession of bills held which was interrupted for a short time around the holidays has recommenced. All of th_e larger city banks of New York, as well as many in other places, are now out of debt to the reserve banks,, and managers of some of them assert that they see no immediate prospect. ! of feeding further accommodation. x-rr •. .. . H«si ■» YV H/U <*■ coiitlliucu. ill£U. li-ALiO, amounting to 74.7 per cent for this week, and a stock of specie now considerably above $3,000,000,000, the reserve system occupies what appears to be an impregnable position, while business as a whole has to-day better access to both short and long term accommodation than at any time since

the war.

Bonds and Taxes

The positive announcement that a legislative programme, 'including a soldiers’ bonus and a ship subsidy measure, has been decided upon brings to the front the immediate necessity of contemplating the issue of new bonds by the Government, or else the imposition of taxes, additional to those now in force. Saving^ effected through budget effort have , been comparatively limited as com- ! P U 1 pared with our total Federal outlay. ' era For the first year of bonus and sunsidy expense new claims of about $750,000,000 may apparently be expect•ed. Both President Harding and Secretary Mellon are represented as feeling that any such outlays as are required by the soldiers’ bonus, for ex- ! ample, should be provided for at the j time they a~e authorized, a view which in effect discountenances the idea of j borrowing to meet the outgoes. From i this the conclusion is inevitable that I new taxes must be definitely dedided | upon as a necessary element of the ! bonus and subsidy plans. How this : will affect the community is a serious 1 question. If a sales tax should be |

added to existing taxation, the result | VIENNA—The famous Gobelin tapwould probably be to increase prices i t 3 tries, pawned to an American syndiand to; that extent to impair the ac- | f a |; e f or three million pounds, will be tivdy oi business. j shipped to the United States within Market Review and Outlook I a short time, it is announced.

ROME—“An Anglo-French alliance is out of the question,’’ Premier Bonomi of Italy, now at Cannes, is repotted to have said in an interview with a correspondent of the “Momen-

to’’ of Turin.

RIGA—Moscow hospitals are discharging their doctors and nurses, according to Miss Elizabeth Shapleigh, an independent medical missionary because they ate not able to feed their staffs, as the government is sending all available food to the famine area.

TRUSTEE’S REPORT

BELFAST—Street fighting broke out afresh here, with frequent sniping. A man and a woman were shot.

LEIPZIG—French and German laoor leaders addressing the Independent Socialist Congress here bitterly attacked Bavaria, declaringl that the Bavarian Republic is a center of mon-

archism and reaction.

PARIS—Coincident with the reopening of the French Parliament, Georges Clemenceau, the Tiger, h^s re-entered the field of journalism with his fifth newspaper, “L’Echo National,’’ presaging the bitter assaults about to be launched against the Briand govern-

ment.

TOKIO—Marquis Shigenobu Okuma one of the Elder {Statesmen and former Premier, is dead here. The aged statesman had first been announced dead on January 6. Later, however, his physicians found his se still beating. Since then several times his heart apparently stopped, but he would rally. Posthumour decorations were conferred by Prince

Hirohito.

dence of being a sold out affair. As j a matter of fact, it was pretty well demonstrated that liquidation had run its course last year.. The uncovering of weak spots here and there due to financial reverses, as a result of the very trying conditions which the country has passed through, is something that must be looked for, but except in a few instances it is now pretty well understood that important industrial concerns have their affairs well in hand. To be sure, it will take, some time before really healthy trade conditions will be restored: still, sighs are not lacking that business in many directions is on the mend and that it is now- only a question of a few months before the wheels of industry will again be actively revolving. It is based on this belief that holders of industrial stocks refuse to part v/ith them. far as railroad stocks are concerned, the conferences going on between the executive heads and the employes, under the auspices of Secretary JHoover, are expected to remove tne obstacles to further wage adjustments and the adoption of common sense working rules which will permit of the roads beiing operated on a more economical basis. As is well known, the floating supply of railroad shares is at no time large, and while at times they present an irregular appearance, it is noticeable that those of the stronger roads have a way of easily coming back whenever moderate buying orders are sent to the Board. While the present sluggish conditions continue, news of every descrifftion has no particular effect on market values, but great ease in money must have a favorable influence

This represents a decline of 5 per cent since October. “Wide variation exists Tetween prices of different groups of farm products. In November, for example, corn was selling 30 per cent below the pre-war price; potatoes were 100 per cent above; wheat 12 per cent above; while pigs were just about at their

1913 level.

“During the 10 years from 1910 to 1919, the farm price of 100 pounds of live hog was equivalent to the price of 11 bushels of corn. Since January, 1920, there- have been wide shifts in this ratio. In June, 1920 the ratio was

HELP BOOST POST-DEMOCRAT SUBSCRIPTION We have a suggestion to make to the live democrats of Muncie and Delaware county which, if carried out with the right kind of enthusiasm and concerted effort, will add 'thousands of names to the Post-Democrat’s subscription list. Our plan is for those democrats who can afford it, to order and pay for a certain number of subscriptions to this paper, to be sent to individuals who would be benefitted by the wholesome truths published weekly in its columns. There are thousands of men out of work in Muncie at the present time. These men are having a hard time of it finding money to buy the necessities of life, consequently it is impossible for many of them bo take the paper at this time. Later, when the factories resume work, these men will not find it a hardship to pay the two dollars subscription price. The publisher is making a special club rate of a year for five or more yearly subscriptions paid in advance. At the top of the editorial column appears a blank club subscription form. If you have interest enough in a worthy cause to do your bit toward enlarging the Post-Democrat’s sphere of influence, fill out the blank and enclose a check covering the ambunt required to pay for the number of subscriptions ordered, and mail to the Muncie Post-Democrat. We will pledge you that every dollar sent in will be used in adding to our subscription list. Do you remember haw you cussed during the last campaign because there was no democratic newspaper here to refute the flood of republican misrepresentations? Now is the time for you to do your part toward the establishment of a newspaper that will tell the truth to the people of Muncie and Delaware county. Without the undivided support of Delaware county democracy, no democrat newspaper can exist in Muncie. Without a strong newspaper democracy here has no chance to win in the coming city election or any other election in the future. It will not cost you much to stand sponsor for the sending of the Post-Democrat to five, ten or twenty persons tor one year. The republican line is already wavering in Muncie. The PostDemocrat has a campaign mapped out that will command the attention of republicans as ^ell as democrats. Do your part. Mail it in today. »
