BIDS RECEIVED BY STATE FOR CEMENT SUPPLY 200,000 Barrels to Be Used in Finishing 60 Miles of National lioad. 7 COMPANIES RESPOND Bids on sufficient, cement to construct the sixty-six miles of the National road which remains unpaved were received by the Slate highway commission today. The specifications provide that the concrete shall be delivered at various points along the National road and call for a maximum of 200,000 barrels. Seven bids were received on a basis of 200.000 barrels or less, but employes of the commission refused to make public the prices quoted. It was explained they i :t. , would be made public at a meeting of the commission Thursday when : . also will be opened for the National road projects. The National road bids wilt not include cement. It was explained mat while bids were received for sufficient cement to build the road of concrete tills does not mean the commission necessarily expects to do tins. Under the proposals the com-mir-sion may purchase os little or as much cement as is needed. The bids were submitted by the Atlas Portland Cement Company, the T'niversal Portland Cement Company, the Indiana Portland Cement Company, the Louisville Ceflient Company, the Cosmos Portland Cement Company, the Sandusky Cement Company and the Wabash Portland Cement Company. It is understood the commission originally intended that the companies should submit prices for cement at the mills, but that the manufacturer refused to do this and that the commission finally consented to receive bids on a delivered basis. The cement companies are reported to have contracts with dealers throughout the country who receive commissions on cement sold in their districts regardless of whether they handle It themselves. It is reporred that this is the reason for the insistance of the tement companies that delivered prices only k be quoted. 'Shere is said to .be some probability that 'the Indiana commission may follow the lead of commissions in Illinois. Wis?onsin, lowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota and South Dakota in refusing to accept any of the bids until prices are reduced. This may depend on the amounts set out in the bids submitted.

At that time conversations between Fr neb Ambassador St. Auliaire and Lord Curzon, British foreign minister. relative to framing of an AngloFrench alliance arc likely to be put uu der way. A note outlining Poincare’s views on the alliance is understood to be already in the hands of the French ambassador. These views are said to be that France should guarantee to aid (ire.it Britain against an aggressor in return for such a guarantee to France by Britain; that the alliance should run thirty years and that it should define in advance the extent of military assistance to be extended. The first two points may be acceptable i to Britain, but the third Is believed not to be. JACKSON TALKS TO GRAIN MEN Secretary of State Discusses Securities Commission.

EXPERT SAYS GERMANY NEEDS BILLIONS CREDIT j Advisor Suggests Scheme Whereby Nation Could I’ay Her Indemnity. BERLIN, Jan. 24 —Given a credit or j $4,01)0,000.000. Germany will be able to f reconstruct her commerce and industry and pay her debts to the allies : declared the German economist Parvus tn a comprehensive article published by the Yorwaerts. Parvus, whose real name is llalphandt. is one of the best brawn of German economists !!•• was one of the economic experts of the German delegation at the peace conference of Brest Litovsk. and was frequently sent by the Kaiser’s government on for Ign missions. “In order to furnish the necessary security for this j -aid Xfirvns. "the German state monopolies and 'he big business Interests must organize 'hemselves together Into a mutual credit association. Such a credit association would naturally have to face severe attacks from the money lenders Ds prop erties and going enterprise* will cover many times over the figure of the loan asked, and they would also provide for the interest pavmt nta. HOW (It EDIT WOULD HE USED. ‘•The jtono.ono.nnn credit should be user), before anything else, re constitute a reserve for the German paym-n's to tho allies. In so far as they could n t he met by the current r< venue of the Reich Once these payments are proleefe I. then wo could lav plans for the balancing of the budge: and reform of the monetary system. t “A part of tli credit should Itnmcd! ately go for the reconstruction of the sta!a monopolies and private industrial plants. "The credit for the reconstruction nt (tie state monopolies and prl ate In dustry need not all be in money. $ .-.naidetable part may be constituted in goods “A part of the gold loan which Is so protect the payments to the allies need , no! hie paid ons, at all it can, be written up on the books ns a loan, but' will actually be In the nature of a moratorium.” MORATORIUM IDEA PRODS I U. Instead of the $ t.ub0.000.000 loan aa allied moratorium for the same amount would serve the purpose, tn the uptn lon of Parvus. . “The problem would then become smaller and could be solved bv simpler methods. In that, case we will have to priacf the mutual credit association by statuti and secure the necessary capital for internal reconstruction as a purely national project. We shall arrive at the same r suit bj a different road." OWSLEY WILL % HEAD SPEAKERS Judge Landis Unable lo At- \ (end Banquet. Alvin VI.
