ASKS COOPERATION WITH ALL NATIONS Industrial Agents Address National Convention Chamber of Commerce. By Associated Tress t ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. April 27. The United States cannot afford to isolate Itself from the rest of the world but must cooperate with other countries on a "non-political bafds," to restore stable business conditions, A. C. Bedford, chairman of the board of doctors of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, and Willis F. Booth, vice president of the Guaranty Trust Co., New York, told tho United States chamber of commerce in annual convention here Wednesday night. They pointed out that American business cannot find a market abroad for Its surplus products as long as there are unsettled and abnormal conditions in the world. , Mr. Booth urged that the United State cooperate with the allies in an effort to settle the indemnity question with Germany. He further suggested that payment of the allies' indebtedness to the United States bo postponed for a period paralleling the Indemnity settlement. "The future of American greatness in foreign trade," said Mr. Bedford, "depends upon our ability to think and act internationally." Cast Lot AVI th AVorld. "We have always found it possible to employ most of our money at home," he added, "but the investment markets of the world know no boundary linc3, and in the future the opportunity of the American merchant and manufacturer will lie not alone in promoting Ids trade at home but in casting his lot with the business men of the world to promote the building of Industry, the clearing up of the waste places of the- world, the making fruitful of the barren fields, and of training nature to become, more than ever, responsive to promoting tho highest welfare of mankind "America has to face today the dilemma, on the one hand, of promoting our foreign export trade, and, on the other hand, of making it possible for the world to liquidate the financial balance which now stands in our favor." Mr. Booth, who recently returned from Europe, where? he attended a meeting of the board of directors after tho International chairman of commerce, said the program for put ting" American business on its feerf should be as follows: "Cooperation if practicable on non-political lasi.s with the allies and Germany in settling the indemnity. "Postponement of payment of allies' indebtedness to us for a period paralleling the indemnity settlements. "Further considerations to these indebtednesses can be given when the economic situation throughout tho world Is clarified. t'rrros Permanent Polier. "Carefully and constructively adJust international trade relations so that we may become, Q.3 far as it in practicable, a buying and a selling nation. "Educate our people to think internationally, realizing our new role, in its non-political aspects, in the hope that by such education we may develop experience and information which will be the basi of such national courage and Judgement as will be necessary for the proper assumption of our international responsibilities. "Establish a permanent national policy under which our flag, standing for the power which comes from fairness and right, shall protect American and legitimate American interests about the globe." REFUSE REDUCTION IN FREIGHT RATES WEST! WASHINGTON. April 27 The interstate commerce commission refused to day to order a reduction in railroad rate? from points of origin east of the Ricky mountains to points in inter-mountain territory. Complaints of Dusincss organizations and others In that rvctlon were dismissed, the romml.wlon holding that existing tariff?, which are on a parity with those to Pacific coast points, were not unduly prejudicial. The complainants had contended for a graded reduction based on the rates to the Pacific coast, which were fixed so that the steam carriers could compete with water commerce passing through the Panama canal.

FINDINGS UPON

RUINED AREAS Reparations Include CompcnPCI ration for Civilian Popu lation During War. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) night still was without any othcial information a? to tho attitude of the allied powers with respect to Germany's counter proposals on reparations. Consequently, a reply to the communication' received from Berlin has not been prepared. Tho views of the allied governments are expected to be transmitted through their ambassadors here, with whom Sec'y Hughes conferred Tuesday. Nene of the envoys called at the state department Wednesday, but an Associated Tress dispatch from Pari Wednesday evening announced that Instructions had gone forward to Ambassador Jn.vrrand to Inform the United States that the German propositions were unaceeptable to France. It was assumed that M. Jur.-erand would make this known officially to Mr. Hughes, Wednesday. Dispatches from Brussels indicated that in Belgium the German offer also was regarded r.s unsastifactory. There was no word as to the views of the other interested powers. It was understand, however, that officials did not necessarily regard as significant the nction of Great Britain in requesting its representatives in Berlin to inquire informally regarding the new German offer with a view to making clear the term of years over which the payments would run. Administration is Silent. Administration oiheers continued Wednesday their policy of silence with regard to the whole reparations question. It was understood, however, that an element of the situation whlchthoy have under consideration is an "Intimation from some of the allied governments that the mere transmission of the Gorman offer by the United States would involve the German government in some measure of responsibility. It is believed that the state department is not ready to accept this view of responsibility on its part, provided its efforts are con'lned to a mere transmission of the communien.icn without indorsement of any kind. As only three days remain before the date pot by the French povcrnment for the beginning of its move into additional German territory, it Is expected that a reply to the German communication will not be lonT delayed. GERMANY IS PESSIMISTIC. Bv Associated Press: BERLIN. April 27. The German working man will have to become reconciled to a 12-hour day If the economic obligations involved in the German reparations counter proposals aro to be redeemed, says the Bed Flag, the communist organ. Wednesday, which estimates that the working hours of 15 million workers will be Increased by onethird or more if the nation is v. raiso six billion gold marks annually. AVhile the political writers are optimistic in their appraisal of the prospective outcome of the appeal of the foreign minister. Dr. Simons, to Pres't Harding, the financial writers, looking further ahead, take an extremely gloomy view of Germany's ability to carry the self-imposed burden. Tho total present Bourse vnlne of the shares of German industrial corporations is estimated by the Vo.ssische Zeitung at eight billion marks, thus representing only a fraction of the amount named in the counter proposals. The annual payments on the German offer, the newspaper states, exceed the present total income tax revenuo. Hanker Analyzes Case. Just what will be the state of German finances in the event Germany's offer is accepted can only be conjectured, said a leading banker. He called attention to the present state of the national exchequer, which is struggling with a current deficit of 80 billion marks and an unconsolidated national debt of ino,000.000,000 marks, to which must be added SO billion marks in unredeemed war loans and an equal amount of paper currency. The banker declared the entente statesmen must proceed cautiously when prescribing the manner in which the German counter proposals should be carried out, if accepted, in order to prevent Germany from lapsing into the partial state of anarchy prevalent in Austria. Industrial circles are inclined to view the proposals as "a politio-a! offer" whose authors did not take the trouble to inform themselves of their ultimate feasibility. Scouts Adopt Now Method Of Holding Troop Meets The sixth regular weekly meeting of Boy Sc cut patrol leaders was held in the Chamber of Ccmmerr building. More than 60 were present.

REPORT MOBS RIDE NIGHTLY IN SOUTH Georgia Governor Investigatin: Lvnchins of Three Negroes. By Associated Press: ATLANTA. Ga.. April 2 7.

HOSINSKI ASKS

COURT TO ORDER PRIMARY VOTE Starts Mandamus Proceedings to Test Validity of Manager AcL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) mary election on May 3, 18 21, for the nomination of candidates to city offices, and unlew they are required to perform said duties no primary election will be held in said city, and no candidates for said office will b nominated. That said defendant Bllimkt js also refusing1 to perform his duties as city clerk in reference to holding said primary election." Claim Friendly Test. The suit is claimed to be of a friendly nature in effect, and is depigncd to test the validity of the commissioner manager enabling1 act passed at the last session of the legislature; aeo the validity of the procedure under which the city clerk certified to the council the petition for the election of the commissioner manager form of government will be tested. The purpose cf the suit it is further understood, is to prevent the city manager form of government enabling act being attacked and perhaps the proceedings thereunder set aside, because of irregularity or unconstitutionality, after the frystem is adopted, if euch should take place by a majority vote at the June 25 election. If the law is good and the proceedings thereunder regular the primaries are automatically postponed. If the city manager system should not carry in Jun-? the primary would then be called, but if it should carry thero is no provision for calling a primary or holding an election under the present law, in case the enabling act shoull then be attacked, or the proceedings thereunder, and iuch attack should prevail. Officials MJglit Hold Over? If the court holds the law constitutional and the proceedings regular, this mooted question would be settled and the referendum election would proceed without the primaries being held. The idea is to prevent a condition arising perhaps at the election of commissioners under the new law, or at the time they would take office, that might result in their being enjoined and from proceeding thus enabling tho present city officers and administration to remain In power for another four years, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Not only will South Bend be interested in the outcome of the proceedings but likewise will Michigan City, Evansville, Anderson, Muncle. Ivokomo, Richmond, New Castle Logansport, where the commission manager form of government referendum ha been ordered. It is probable that representatives from these cities will be present in South Bend when tho hearing is held in the local court. While the mandamus proceedings did not mentien the commission manager enabling act nor the proceaure or tne council in oraering m referendum these questions will be raised when answer la made to the complaint. The demand fcr the primary election commissioners for the election was made Tuesday by Mr. Hosinski. Mclnerny and Schurtz voted against tho holding of a prlmarj. following out the council's order for special election. Billnski declined to vote. Puts- Slick in De'fensc. Mr. Mclnerny said AAVdnesday that in view of the fact that the city primary election board Is a branch of the municipal government. Thomas W. Slick, city attorney, would be called upon by the board to defend them. Mr. Slick, at present is in Indianapolis, arguing the electric rate caso before the public service commission. Mr. Mclnerny said he would make an attempt to get in touch with the city attorney by long distance telephone. Attorneys for the city manager plan organization committee consisting of Samuel Parker, W. E. Miller and Miller Guy, it 1 understood, will interplead in behalf of the petitioners, not that the committee Is opposed to tho holding of the primary if the candidates wish it to go ahead and take their chance on i legal primary, but that they are concerned in showing the constitutionality of the enabling act, and the regularity of the proceedings, leading up- to and including the calling of the election. In view of the fact that it was set .forth in Mr. Hosinskl's complaint that an emergen:' exists and the summons for answer to the suit was made returnable Thursday morning, the shortness of time available for filing an answer will probably refuU in postponement for a day when the time for a hearing comes today.
