TV. Sherman, assistant treasurer of ’Swift and Company and Fred W. Crowell, .treasurer of Armour and Company, were •called before the investigators to present ttheir company's side of the transaction •whereby the packers obtained the huge loan. > The main questions to which Sherman and Crowell were understood to testify, were the amount of interest which their fconcern* paid in money and to whom it •was paid. The State is supposed to have obtained only 2 per cent interest 'on the amount, although the packers are said to have paid about SUj per cent for the money.

Two other boys who were said to have been with Willie when the Levine boy was killed, were held as witnesses. They are Vincent Hall and George Bayharn, both 9. Henry and Willie quarreled. Willie is said to have struck Henry with an iron bar, breaking his neck. The four boys were at the edge of Bimm's Pond, planning to go swimming.

FOREIGN DEBT CAUSE OF HIGH TAXES IN U. S. (Continued From Page One.) debt England would discharge a like amount of obligations due from Its allies. Mr. Beveridge declared that the payment of money by Britain to her allies was more in the nature of a subsidy than a loan. He declared that as the years pass there will be continued pressure for cancellation of indebtedness. “Old arguments will be made over and over again and other arguments adduced from new sitnaiions as they arise," he said. “It Is only the exercise of commonsense to conclude that the advocates of debt cancellation expect American insistence on payment to grow weaker when the present desperate economic plight of the American people Is relieved. •'Especially. If payment of interest Is deferred for fifteen years, as Is now urged, the forces working for ultlinat* cancellation will be greatly strengthened and the prospect for final payment made dim and distant. Fifteen years of Interest would Increase the debt by more than seven and one-half billions of dollars; and by the end of that period these foreign obligations to us would be nearly double the prodigious amount now due us. “Then would come either the beginning of payment or another process of refunding similar to that now being arranged—or else a renewal under more favorable circumstances, of the proposition that, for the good of ourselves and the world, we ‘wipe the slate clean,’ to use the exact words of the present British Chancellor of the Exchequer. And does anybody suppose that, during those fifteen years—practically half a generation—the cancellation propaganda would be idle? I “We are told that the debtor nations simply cannot pay because they have no money; that instead of reducing their debt to us they actually need ready funds for ‘reconstruction purposes.’ “If it be true tfiat debtor nations are hopelessly destitute, then the argument for cancellation of their debts, or, at least, postponement of payments, is wellnigh/ unanswerable.” “But. at least, we ought to investigate the situation; at least, we ought to find out what the facts really are; at least we should not take the ex-parte statements of the Interested parties or hasty assertions of susceptible travelers. SHOULD MARK INVESTIGATION. “Certain outstanding circumstances would seem to require such an examination. For example, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1921, Great Britain appropriated nearly three billion of dollars for the enlargement and maintenance of her army and navy. This vast amount, equal to nearly three-fourths of her entire indebtedness to the United States, Is a cash expenditure. “Again. France is maintaining her military establishment on the pre-war basis, including every man fit for service; and of this vast army over SOO.OOO are now m active service in the field. The annual outlay for the French naval and military establishments is equal to a large part j of the total amount loaned to the French j government by the Government of the i United States; and every dollar of this prodigious amount Is paid In actual money. Also the returns from French taxation last year were surprisingly large. “Moreover, during the present year. Great Britain loaned the Argentine Republic the comfortable sum of $50,000,000 dollars 'to stimulate British trade In South Americaand. during the fiscal year Just closed the thrifty and farseeing British government actually reduced her national debt by over one billion dollars. At the same time that Great Britain was spending these large sums on her navy and army and In advancement of her foreign commerce, she actually reduced her national debt by over $1.(<00.000.000. “In this connection, perhaps It is not inappropriate to recall the material gains which the European allies derived from their victory—gains which changed the economic and geographical aspect of the globe, but which, curiously enough, have been almost ignored by the American press and, of consequence, are seldom or not at ail considered oy the average citizen. Yet this circumstance—the weightiest and most far-reaching result of the war—is of capital importance in estimating the future resources of the nations involved. TERRITORIAL GAIN VERT RICH. “All told, the territorial accessions of the European allies were the richest and moat extensive in the entire history of conquest. “We American* are glad that all .these

territorial transfers were made; we rejoice that the European enemies of Germany were thus strengthened and enriched; we are happy that the United States old not take a foot of soil or profit in any way by so much as a dollar. But surely It is not ungenerous of us, the one and only nation that acquired no material gains from victory, bat, on the contrary, achieved a debt hitherto unheard of or unlmaglned surely, it is not unworthy of us to take Into account the historic and unprecedented territorial acquisitions of debtor nations In estimating the truth of their alleged In- ' ability to pay. “We also should Include the trade position of the debtor nations. From every point of view the situation of these countries with respect to foreign commerce is excellent. Indeed, it may be said to be commanding. It is. at the very least, superior to that of the United States — infinitely superior. “Os equal weight is the indemnity to be paid by Germany to the nations indebted to the United States. In fact, tills element is perhaps of more Immediate consequence in estimating the resources of debtor nations than are the elements of territorial conquests and world trade, although the latter are, of course, far greater in value than the German reparations. “Moreover, the land accessions are per manent assets, certain to Increase In riches; while the commercial advantageover us will endure for many years and can be overcome, at last, only by fundamental economic legislation on our part, supplemented by herculean, systematic, steady and continuous effort by American business men. “The amount which Germany haa agreed to pay to the European allies is more than three times greater than their total indebtedness to us. “Since sound and convincing economic reasons are wanting, can the debtor na tlons urge cancellation on high and solid moral grounds? If so, these nobler considerations should be advanced frankly and with all poslble power, since, as Is well known, the American people are far more responsible to such appeals than they are to mere material arguments. “Statemanshlp and the sound sense of the people must be brought to bear upon this vexed matter, which, thus far, bar been dealt with largely—almost exclusive ly—by emotion ably and subtly directed by skillful, highly organized and, seemingly, highly financed foreign propaganda. The time has arrived when even the dullest and most obstinate realize that the well-being of the American people is in serious Jeopardy and that their economic plight cannot be trifled with. “When excellent farms, carefully tilled and managed by hard-working. Intelligent, educated, prudent and experienced fanners cannot produce enough to pay the current taxes on those farms; when seasoned, energetic and hitherto successful business men are being crushed Into Insolvency; when Industry Is so depressed that millions of American workingmen are idle and unemployment Is on the increase; when salaried men and women are being driven to desperation by high costs of necessities and Intolerable government exactions; when Investment in sound and needed industrial American enterprlzes is almost Impossible because investing capital is commandeered to supply public revenue; when conditions exist of which the well-known facts mentioned are only malnifestatlons, the correlated problems of foreign debt and national taxation require the clearest possible thinking applied to bed-rock facts. ’’ Mr. Stevenson, in his talk, stressed the Importance of the legal profession and Its duty to the community. ADVICE GIVEN TO ATTORNEYS. “The bar, and particularly the judiciary, are the Rheet anchor In the protection of the rights and llterties of a people," he said. “We are and should be the servants of the society In which we live, faithful officers of the courts of justice. Our work Is broader than the greedy watch for clients and conflicts over often sordid interests. It is, in fact, widening with the expansion of all relations of men in organized communities.” Mr. Stevenson called for efficiency in the profession. “If the law breaks down, if laws and lawyers fail too much in their duties, citizens, no matter how respeotab'e and law-abiding they may be, will t-.ke law and its functions into their own hands, ’ h said. He suggested the, appointment of a committee to work on the proposal that the organization and government of the State bRr be provided by law. Mr. Coleman spoke on "The Advantage of No Bar Stock." In this connection he said: “I wish to emphasize the fact that 1 do not claim the universal application and use of no par stock will do away with all the ills of overcapitalization, stock manipulation, make shares easy to sell, reduce taxation, or make knaves honest, or that It is a panacea for all corporate ills: nor do I claim that there are no objections to It because objection an be raised to any proposition, good or bad, and the best of propositions or principles, in the hands of or under the guidance of evil-minded men, sometimes

work woe; what I do claim, however, is that In many Important respects, and in thousands of Instances, the par theory of capital stock, in practice, haa been a failure; the no par theory is sound in theory, and in actual practice—although limited—appears to be justifying the hope that its general application will be for the public good.” There will be banquet at the club tonight at which Kin Hubbard, William Hersche'l and Roltare Eggleston will appear.
