HOPE SEEN FOR' EARLY END OF INSURANCE WAR Indiana Companies Believe Agreement Soon Will Be Reached. HopC'for an agreement in the fight between the Indiana and Missouri insurance commissioners which prohibits twelve Indiana companies from operating in Missouri and eighteen Missouri companies from Indiana, was held by members of Indiana insurance companies today. The majority of the Indiana companies' licenses do not expire until March 1, and local insurance men are confident some agreement will be reached between the commissioners before that time. However, if no definite agreement is reached by the commissioners it was believed some action to compel either the j Indiana or the Missouri commissioner to change their rulings will be taken in court. Some time ago the Illinois insurance department Issued a ruling similar to that of the Indiana commissioners and no action was taken to bar any companies who placed a deposit with the Insurance commissioner, It was learned. Thomas S. McMurray announced yesterday he would prohibit the Missouri companies from doing business in Indiana until Ben T. Hyde, superintendent of the Missouri in, urance department rescinded his ruling barring the twelve Indiana companies. Mr. Hyde announced recently he would bar the Indiana companies from operating In Missouri, if Mr. McMurray, would not rescind his ruling requiring all reciprocal insurance companies to deposit $25,000 cither in cash or securities, with the Indiana commission to show their j solvency. lesh Upholds STATE’S RIGHT. In an opinion to the Indiana commissioner, Attorney General U. S. Lesh“held 1 that the insurance department had a ! right under the Indiana statutes to re j quire reciprocal - ! ance companies to deposit $25,000 with j the State. Mr. Hyde contended, the In- j diana commissioner exceeded his power and the power of the statute in making the ruling. Mr. McMurray notified the Missouri commissione all Missouri companies ap plying for licenses during the next yeai would lie refused until the Missouri commission's ruling was lifted. The Missouri companies barred from doing business in Indiana are: Consolidated T'nderwriters of Kansas City, Subscribers at Druggists of St Louis, Interinsurers Exchange of Kan sas City, Subscribers at Reciprocal Ex change of Kansas City and Underwriters Exchange of Kansas City.

Wall Street Bankers Ask U. S. Delegates at Genoa Believe Nation Should Have Part in World Financial Conference March 8.

NEW YORK, Jan. IS.—Belief was expressed in Wall street banking circles today that the United States will participate actively in the international economic conference opening at Genoa March 8 and that the American delegates will raise the question of payment of international war debts owing to this country. There is' every possibility that the Washington conference will have ended before the first of March. The American Government probably would be opposed to participation in two conferences at the same time because of opportunity it would give for ideals and bargaining. So far no information has been given out through official channels whether this country would accept the invitation to the Genoa conference. It Is known, however, that bankers have advised acceptance on the ground that this country—the most prosperous in the worldr-should lend its presence to any greatlmovement for the economic reconstruction of the world. If the State Department should accept, the next question is whether this country would sehd a delegation to take an* active part in the proceedings or whether it would send merely an observer, as was done at the last meeting of the Supreme Council at Cannes, when George Harvey, American ambassador to Great Britain, represented America. BANKERS KEENLY INTERESTED. Bankers are keenly interested tn the proposed conference seeing in it the first concerted world movement for economic rehabilitation of the nations that have suffered severely through the war. And now public interest has been focussed upon the war debt question by the resolution introduced in the Senate by Senator McCormick calling upon the State Department to furnish information to the Senate regarding the financial

PENNSYSUITTO ENJOIN PUT OFF Action Against Rail Labor Board Postponed to Feb. 7 ✓ by Landbs’ Illness. CHICAGO, Jan. 13.—Because of the Illness of Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, the hearing of the Pennsylvania rati road'adjunction suit to restrain the United States railroad labor board from declaring that the road had violated its order was postponed today in the United States District Court until Feb. 7. The question Involved In the Issue between the Pennsylvania road and the labor board is the manner in which shop representatives who were to negotiate ,a contract for the employes with the railroad company should be selected. The labor board decided that the Pennsylvania had no right to participate in the selection of these representatives and ruled that the employes had the right to select their own representatives for such a conference, and so ordered. The Pennsylvania contends that the board has no Jurisdiction in the matter. A motion to dismiss the Pennsylvania's Injunction proceedings will be filed when the bearing is held, it was announced. Dismissal of the proceedings would leave the board free to publicly reprimand the railroad for its attitude and alleged vlo latior. of the board's express order, it tbe board so decided. Judge Landis has been ill with a severe cold for a week. FRIENDS SEEK MISSING RECTOR No Explanation Given for Disappearance. CHICAGO, Jan. 18.—Rev William F.

stntus of the European countries owing money to the Unites. States, the condition of their budgets and the amount they are spending upon their military establishments. In banking circles the opinion is held that if the various powers cooperate and delioerate in a spirit of unanimity, progress is possible which will make 1922 the first year of the new era of world prosperity. The allies will be in a position to make effective agreements with Russia for the opening up of the vast resources of raw materials in that country. This would help towards European prosperity and it is emphasized by financiers that the sooner Europe begins to get upon her feet commercially and industrially the quicker the United States will begin to receive the funds she advanced In war time. Few bankers believe that any part of the 'debt will be canceled, although arrangements will be made by which Hose countries which are best able to do so shall pay first. OBJECTS OF CONFERENCE, The chief objects of the conference will be towards a restoration of international confidence, stabilization of exchanges; strengthening depreciated money; reducing the issues of currency; reducing inflated values, resurrection of 'industry ; financial assistance to poverty stricken governments through loans so that they can in turn aid their agriculturists ,o pro. duce bigger crops; opening of closed ports; extension and improvement of railway traffic, arrangement for the payment of debts and a review of the economic situation generally In view of the needs of the various countries. The United States Treasury Department would be greatly assisted even if the Interest were paid upon the foreign debts. At 5 per cent the annual iuterest on the outstanding debt to this country is $479,041,183.

NEW RUSS BANK IS SAID TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE Director Expresses Wish for U. S. Financial Connections. RIGA, Jan. IS.—ln the nine weeks that the new Russian State Bank has been in existence It has paid checks for more than 1,385,000,000,000 rubles, according to M. Seheininan, director, who parsed through Riga en route from Moscow to Berlin. He deplored the bank had no relations with any financial institution in the United States. M. Seheininan spoke first of the new soviet policy and how it has led to the reopening of the Russian bank which had been closed abruptly three years ago. “The bank was reopgned the middle of last November," said the director. “ItJjL aim is to assist the state, commerce and the cooperative societies as well as private organizations. But, principally, it is to assist state-owned industries. It is realized, however, the private initiative can not be neglected. BOOKS SHOW LARGE DEPOSITS. “During the time since it got its business fully going the bank has credited various organizations with 1,000.000,000.000 rubles (soviet money, not the gold rubles of the old Imperial regime). “The soviet governmetu Is ' satisfied with conditions. Tbe demand for credit in Russia Ims proved comparatively small, however. We have a number of private accounts, but they are unimportant. There are indications they will increase.” It was at fills point that the banker told how many checks had passed through the institution. He continued. “The bank is opening branches In various towns throughout Russia. The government intends also to open credit organizations fVt. the peasantry in the agricultural districts. HAS ONLY TWO FOREIGN CON NECTIOXS. “Abroad, the State bank has normal relations with only two countries —Germany and Sweden. However, seme of the London banks have understandings with us as to the opening of accounts in the Moscow State Bank, or the exchange of funds. It is regrettable we have no relations with any American bank. “Personally, I favored the reopening of private banks but the Moscow government opposed it because of the low rate of exchanges. They feared speculation by the bankers which might injure economic conditions still further." BLAME ENEMIES AND ASK PEACE Equity Farmers and Grain Growers Bury Ax. * * FARGO, N.

RALSTON SEES REASONS FOR FARMERS’ILLS Ex-Governor Gives Talk lo Crawfordsville Kiwanis Club. Special to The Times. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 18.— Samuel M. Ralston, former Governor of Indiana, blamed the farmer's financial ills on failure of the United States to enter the League of Nations In an address here today at a luncheon the Crawfordsville Kiwanis Club gave to Montgomery County farmers. "This is tbe penalty the people here are paying because of a narrow vindictive policy that has made it Impossible to establish tbe proper relations between this and foreign countries,” Ralston said. / “How radically wrong are conditions that make it more profitable to burn corn than it is to pay the price fixed by tlie coul block for coal fuel. “Everybedy now sees that Woodrow Wilson spoke In prophesy when lamenting the threatened reservations by the United States Senate to the Versailles treaty.” The former Governor paid tribute to the agricultural bloc In Congress ns supporting the Interests of the farmer—' realty the biggest single interest in this country.” "It represents an Industry in the absence of which there could be no prosperity. Without it, the people would perish.” Ralston scored the critics of the agricultural bloc and cited the steel bloc, deal bloc and other organizations within Congress which handled the Interests ol other Industries and which were not attacked by other elements.

ARMOUR LOOKS CONFIDENTLY TO TRADE OF YEAR Allied Industries of Company Sustain Losses of $31,709,817 in 1921. PACKER CHIEF HOPEFUL CHICAGO, Jan. 18.—Emerging from a year of financial depression, during v.hich losses mounted into millions, the equal of which was never known in the history of the company, Armour and Company greet the new year confident of a turn to the better, according to the annual report of President J. Ogden Armour. Losses sustained by Armour and Company packing and allied industries during the year just passed aggregated $31,709,817.52, according to the statement of President Armour. That officials of the company look for better things darin the current year is evidenced in Armour’s statement that “with losses completely written off and with inventories at current market values, there is every reason for looking to better times.” FURTHER LIQUIDATION HELD IMPROBABLE. Further liquidation of prices, one of the chief factors in the business depression, according to the Armour statement, is “unwarranted and hardly probable.” Adjustment of operating costs in the packing industry has been brought about gradually until virtually the normal status prevails, and this, the report indicates, will find reflection in the “rehabilitation’' of the iffdustrv (generally. Stress is laid upon the fact that the greatest losses suffered were confined to the by-products industries, rather than the meat industry itself. In normal times, the report asserts, these industries are considered the “safeguards” of the packing industry. In one of these branch industries, the Armour Fertilizer Company, losses for the year totaled eight and one-quarter millions—more than 23 per cent of the total loss —the report states. With the allied industries more back to normal a great step will have bene taken forwaVd, President Armour indicates. ' • Need of stabilization of foreign exchange is given emphasis. Huge losses of the industry resulted from this monetary instability, the report asserts. That the company, despite its' heavy losses, is well prepared to enter upon the new era is evidenced, the report states, in the fact that in face of these losses, regular quarterly dividends have been paid on preferred stock at the rate of 7 per cent and that on Dec. 29, 1920, a dividend of $2,000,000 was declared and paid on common stock. “Conditions do not warrant further dividends on common stock.” the report adds. Total assets of the company are given at $480,536,274.32. During 1921 the tot&i volume of business done by the company amounted to $600,000,000, the report shows.
