Sisson Vice-President Guaranty Trust Company of New York Now that the menace of war is part, we face the new menace of peace. From the idealism and the sacrifice of consecrated and united effort to see a world-wide reaction to selfishness, freed, sectional and class interest. Practically every major element of our body politic is militant as a class. Each b seeking to protect and promote its - class interest in some manner, through some form of organization, by propa ganda, threat or influence. In view of this far-reaching aw! rapidly (Trowing movement, the thought quite naturally is suggested that business men of the United States also should organize and co-ordinate their common interest! not, however, lor selfish reasons but from the broad viewpoint of the economic welfare of the country, and, directly or indirectly, of all classes As the basis for the first plank, of 1 platform for the business men of America let us consider that the guid ins principle of our part in the World War was the destruction of autocracy, and that the principle carries with it I larger significance than the mere de throning of kings So, today we should no more endure autocracy in Washington, for instance, than in Ber lin: no more in labor councils thai. capitalistic circles; no more among farmers than among bankers.

But we should also demand as mucji for labor, and drive home to labor the fact that it cannot expect these re sults unless it stimulates production and gives a fair day's work for a fair day's wage; that labor cannot prosper at the expense of the majority of our people; that it cannot prosper unless it puts its shoulder to the wheel and helps every other class to prosper: that labor will bring hardships on it s'. fl BIG AMERICAN RaiLVVflY TERMINAL -THE ROODS MUST BE ENABLED TO INCREASE SUCH FACILITIES TO PRO' UIDE FOR THE COUNTRY'S GROWING BUSINESS ' RED CROSS WORKERS CARING FOfi INFANT UlCTIMS OF RUSSIA'S DOLSHEUIK REGIME- IT IS IMP E.ROTIUE FOR OMEtllCA TO AUOlD THE ECIIL3 OF RADICALISM self and ail other classes so long as it permits the country to suffer from under-production. . The railroad plank should make clear to alf classes and interests that the continued prosperity of the nation is contingent upon the public obtain ing efficient service and as soon as possible. The railroads must be al lowed to earn enough to provide it; to equip themselves efficiently, and to expand their facilities. The platform of American business men should advocate Government rec ognition of the fact that we cannot ex pect American dollars to seek invest ment abroad unless they are accorded the protection of the American flag and the co-operation of the United States Government. A policy of eco nomic and financial imperialism on the -part of the United States Govern ment, of course, should not be toler ated, for such a policy would inevit- -1.1 f I . i : . . a I n . imy mu w wimcai imperialism, mil the Government's moral support sho-iTd be granted freely to our citi zens legitimately engaged in develop ing the resources and Industries of other countries. It will not be neces sary to continue our military opera tions abroad, but our Govrnment can continue its moral and oeonontic fight for world-wide peace, even after the adoption of the Anal peace terms. In facing the European ftnatipa. let our platform seek to make dear to Fiiropr that America ii glad and willing to lend a hand in helving Eta rope rehabilitate itself, but insists that Oar platforsB aboold endeavor to im press a poo. the American people the full significance of toe exchange situa tion, and the barrier ft creates abroad ' against our products an invisible tar iff that is higher than any tariff before ' the war. It would point out to those who derive joy from this state of af faiis, because Europe's increasing in ability to buy our products at prohib itory prices may throw upon our home market quantities of goods that would otherwise be exported, and thereby re- . dnce some prices temporarily, that they forget that a precipitate decline in prices of commodities generally would be disasterous; that a rapidly falling market for farm products, for instance, would mean demoralization in our agricultural industry, which is 1 our basic industry, and that that would inevitably react unfavorably upon all business m the country. Greater production and leu con sumption afford the only true solution of the high cost of living problem. But, with a world-wide scarcity of aft essen tials, Europe must be enabled to in crease her production vastly or there will not be enough of the necessaries of life to meet demands. And Europe cannot accomplish that feat unless she can obtain adequate quantities of food, fuel, raw materials, and machinery in this country, particularly daring the critical period. While our platform should insist up on demobilization of Government in terest and activity in business, fi may be advisable eventually for our Gov ernment to reverse its present policy and make grants, through existing or newly created agencies, for financing our export trade, provided that such credits be expended in the United States for American products. This 1 could be done without tnrreasing our tax burden and without draining the investment market of capital needed in ! industry, if the Government would re- ' adjust its expenditures from a war to a peace basis; If the Government would set the example in thrift that it has preached to its citizens. Our pnttorra would lay stress oa the imperative need for the conservation ot war credit resourses and for the divert- ng of capital and credit for specula tive, unnecessary ventures to legiti mate, essential business. It should ad vocate the strictest economy oa the nart of the Government, and the ad option of a proper budget system. If we are to speed up industry to the productive capacity demanded in this critical period, the unjust and onerous taxation now imposed on business in terests and capital must be lightened. To continue during peace-times the taxation of business profits on a war basis will inevitably injure business and industry beyond reparation. One of the most argent reforms in oar present system of taxation is the repeal of the excess profit tax This tax, m its present form, though prob ably justifiable as a means of raising revenue, for the prosecution of the war, is both unscientific in principle and economically unsound. We see rising op all over the world a tide of radicalism, which has affected every form of business opportunity and business service; and unless business men attempt to understand and interp ret, and, by the grace of God, guide that radicalism into the right channels, it will affect the fundamental values ol everything in which we deal CASTOR I A For Infants and Childrea In Use For Over 30 Years HOVTUKnjf PACIFIC TRAIN . .

Eddy of Roaeburg said here today that he has more votes pledg ed for the presidency (if the next state senate than his opponent, Roy V. Rltner of Pendleton, and that he has more than an even chance with the members who have not pledged themselves. "The Kitner camp shot too high ln claiming that Kitner has thirteen votes pledged to his support," said Senator Eddy. "Indications now are that I have thirteen votes pledg ed In my favor, while Ritner has eleven. Relative to the six unpledg ed votes, I feel sure that I have more than an even chance with Rltner. "There was a time when I had more of the senators for me than both Ritner and Banks. When Banks pulled out of the fight and went to Kitner, while Mosar and Farrell off Portland, and Bell of Eu gene, also went to Rltner, my Pend leton opponent made quite a gain, but I fenl safe In saying that I am i still leading him. It is a hard, close fight, but a clean one, with friendly feeling on both sides." Senator Eddy declared Rltner will not have the solid support of the Eastorn Oregon senators. feet (wires a Dally Chronicle cor respondent), and It can throw an eight-Inch shell between seventy and eighty miles, ln consequence the extraordinarily high velocity of the projectiles the gun will need rellnlng at frequent Intervals. , An earlier gun of this type was delivered to the Government after the signing ot the ArmUtWe.
