Hays Plans Reorganization
Of Postal Savings."
UNCLE SAM IS CENSURED
Government Said to Have Prot
ileered at Expense of Deposit
ors Last Year $1,720,000.
SULLIVAN, Ind., July 3. A billion
dollars which should be in circulation
to assist the coming: Industrial revival
Is being: hoaraed In American stock
ings. Will H. Hays, postmaster- nn
eral. declared today In announcing:
Plans tor revision of the postal sav
Irgrs system to make it more attrac
tive to potential depositors.
The present treatment of depositors
In the postal savings bank, he said
tonight alter conferences, amounts
"almost to fraud" while the govern
ment has profiteered at the expense
of the depositors to the sum in the
last year alone, of i 1,720,000 he added.
Bankers Approve Plan.
His plan of reorganization, which
will be submitted to congress, has
been approved by bankers of the east
and middle west. Mr. Hays assured
the bankers that he had no intention
f entering: into competition with pri
vate savings banks, but hoped only
to make the postal bank a feeder of
established Institutions. He pointed
out that doubling the present interest
rate would still leave It below the
average paid by the savings banks.
Private banks cannot hope to reach
the vast hoarded wealth Which offers
a particular field for postal savings
expansion, Mr. Hays explained.
Seventy per cent of the present
108,000 depositors are of foreign ex
traction, and they will trust no one
but the United States government.
Plan Is Outlined.
Mr. Hays' plan Is as follows:
1. Increase the Interest rate from
I to 1 per cent.
2. Payments of Interest on deposits
held le-ss than one year.
3. Removal of the restriction
against depositors under 10 years of
age.
4. Provision for Joint and trust
funds.
5. Establishment of postal savings
banks In 60,000 postoffices instead
of 6300.
6. Compensation for fourth-class
postmasters on the basis of the de
posits they handle.
7. Redeposit of the funds tn local
banks, with more liberal qualification
rules for such depositories.
S. An enlarged board of directors,
Including a representative of the fed
eral reserve bank and possibly one or
more civilians.
Business Declared Sick.
'There is a lot of business In this
Country that is really sick, still stag
gering under the shell shock of war
and the debauch of extravagance," Mr.
Hays said. "But there is a good deal
more that la merely malingering.
There is the greatest era of expansion
and prosperity ahead that the world
has ever seen. Everyone knows this
and the only question discuseed is
when will it start? Well, it is time
to go out and met it. This we propose
to help to do.
"The postal savings system must be
reformed. With 1181.000.000 on de
posit last year from 508,000 depositors
and with the law providing that
per cent interest be paid, the govern
ment, because of the system, paid less
than 1V4 per cent to those depositors
and by redepositing at 2H per cent
Interest made a net profit over all
Interest payments and expenses of
$1,728,000.
Profiteering; Is Chanced.
"This was sheer profiteering. The
certificates issued unequivocally
pledge 2 per cent Interest and fail to
say anything whatever about no in
terest being paid if the deposits are
not left for a year. The postal sav
ings has not scratched the surface,
notwithstanding the magnificent con
ception of public duty that inspired its
founding.
"We do not want depositors from
savings banks, but there is a tremen
dous hoarded wealth in the country,
estimated by many well informed at
31,000.000,000, which the postal sav
ings bank alone can bring out.
"This money is needed in circula
tion now. It will make general bank
depositors and ultimate government
bond owners out of the timorous; it
will give small capital a chance for
an honest return the same as large
capital; it will furnish the tonic to
conclude the business convalescence
In the country and will help to make
economy and thrift a much-needed
national trait."

Mendicants Averred to Have Made
Rules Governing Manner of'
. Asking for Charity.
PHILADELPHIA. July 3 f Sn-
2!on.rhThe "un"-P" of proleS:
aional beggars begun by the police a
month ago has resulted In the im
prisonment of 105 persons who sought
an easy living under the pretense ot
being totally incapacitated
Incidentally, the quick disposal of
such cases has also virtually cleared
the central business streets, the big
field of such workers, of such nui
sance. Philadelphia is not the only city
making war on mendicants, but is
only helping in a nation-wide move
ment started several weeks ago by
the police in the southern cities In
view of the fact that all such char
acters "go south" for the winter It
was quite natural the police in the
south were the first to uncover the
beggars' truBt" or "union."
That discovery was first made by
the police of Richmond and Norfolk
In raiding a cheap lodging house the
police of those cities say they came
across books and letters which ac
tually proved there was an organiza
tion of a certain class of "drifting
traffic."
Unlike the Hobos' association,
whoso members made no secret of
their "profession." the beggars of the
"Knights of the Big City." as they
call themselves, were operating se
cretively. The books and papers showed they
bad organized several branches in
different cities. The central or main
branch was operating from Rich
mond. Va.
They had regularly paid "business
agents" who wero sent out from time
to time to New York. Chicago, Pitts
burg. Boston. Baltimore and Phila
delphia, St. Louis and Denver. . The
duty of these business agents was to
get a line on the "trade." When a
report was sent back the news would
be sent to the members of the pro
fessional beggars' '- union and in a
short time a flood of such creatures
would be seen on the streets of the
cities "paying big money."
Under the rules of the organiza
ton a city of the third class was
only allowed to be "worked" for two
weeks at a time. In New York. Bos
ton and Philadelphia they were a
lowed to Btay a month. The amount
of dues which each member paid
never was made public.
All these facts were proved to the
local police when they first opened up
the drive against beggars on Market
ant: chestnut streets.
When the beggars were searched
letters were found which thy had
received from members of the union
telling of conditions in other cities.
Warnings to look out for this and
that street and addresses of persons
who gave their money freely were
noted in the letters.
The police said many of the prison
ers did have slight afflictions, but
were in no way Incapacitated.
On the other hand, there were sev
eral sad cases of persons who are
totally blind. These are in nearly
every case licensed by the city as
peddlers. As long as they do not
block the highways and continue to
sell they will not be bothered, the
police say.
In the meantime the reputation
which Philadelphia once bore among
such characters as the "softest city"
in the union, has now become the
terror. The drastio sentences of
from three months to a year imposed
on such offenders by Magistrates
Renshaw and Carson has made the
knowing ones step clear of Market
and Chestnut streets.
FEEDING PLAN DEVISED
OLD WORLD LEARXS IMPOR
TANT LESSOX FROM AVAR.
American Farmers Xow Must Culti-
vate Home Market, Is Declara
tion of Ralph Barton.
BY RALPH BURTON.
(Copyright, 1821, by The Oregonlan.)
WASHINGTON. D. C. July 3. (Spe
cial.) Europe has learned one all-
Important lesson from the war the
lesson that each nation must be as
nearly self-supporting as possible and
that self-support is possible only
when agriculture is flourishing.
It was due largely to the efficiency
of German agriculture that the kaiser
was able to continue the fight as long
as he did and France, England and
the other nations of the old world are
now devising schemes as inclusive as
possible for the promotion ot agri
culture among their own peoples.
All this has a very direct bearing
upon the American farmers and the
circumstance is partly responsible for
somewhat unfortunate economic con
ditions at the present time. Before
and during the war Europe was the
great market for surplus American
farm products.
But now foreign trade is dwindling.
particularly foreign trade in farm
produce. The American farmer must
cultivate the home market, for it Is
about all that he has left the nations
abroad are raising so much more than
ever in the past of their own food
supplies.
Moreover, Argentina and Brazil are
coming Into prominence as sources of
farm products. But perhaps, after all.
the greatest cause of trouble for the
farmer lies in the fact that his is the
most speculative of businesses and
that so much inevitably has to be left
to chance. Storms, hot and dry
weather, floods and lightning are
among the forces with which tne
farmer must gamble, and in many of
the middle western states damage
from hall may wipe out an entire
crop. v
Henry C. Wallace, secretary of agri
culture, has recognized the situation
that confronts American agriculture
nd believes that the remedy lies
mainly with the agricultural colleges.
They have, he points out, done ad
mirably on one very important job -that
of increasing and making more
efficient farm production.
"The farmer needs all the training
In production that the colleges can
give him." said Mr. Wallace, "but the
most urgent need now is the develop
ment of an entirely new realm of or
ganized knowledge of the economic
factors which will enable him to
cheapen his production and improve
his distribution.
"Our period of exploitation is prac
tically at an end. If our production
is to be maintained, agriculture must
be put on a thoroughly sound business
basis. This means that we must not
only increase our production, but must
learn better methods of distribution,
find less burdensome schemes of
finance, and. in addition, learn how to
take some of the speculative risk out
of farming."
The farmer is not only at the mercy
of the weather, but, unlike the manu
facturer, he cannot control his posi
tion, nor can he say much about the
price of his product. He cannot fore
cast public demand nor can he adjust
his production of different crops to
meet the needs of the consumer.
Several farm organizations recog
nized these facts and believe that the
plan of Senator Capper to eliminate
gambling on the grain exchanges will
do much to eliminate artificial specu
lative risks from the industry of agri
culture. They also favor co-operative
marketing arrangements for stabiliz
ing their work.
The middle man. say these farmers.
Is taking altogether too large a slice
of the profits and they have at their
finger tips figures which show graph
ically just how large the toll is from
the chances taken. The tendency of
certain farm groups to unite with
organized labor Is another effort to
gain liberation from the operation of
economic pressure exerted by the in
terests which are able to fix prices of
farm products at borne.
Secretary Wallace has not yet an
nounced a definite programme for
work in farm economics tn the agri
cultural colleges, but the organized
efforts of farmers is at least an effort
to supplement such a programme if it
is finally developed.

5 FOURTHS OF JULY
HELP WORLD LITTLE
Frenchman Reviews Situa
tion on Anniversaries.
WAR TIMES RECALLED
Allies Are Declared Still to Be
Waiting for Constructive Pol
icy Problems Xoted.
BY ANDRE TARDIEU,
Ex-French High Commissioner to America.
(Copyright. 1921. by Tne OregonUn.)
PARIS. July 3. (Special Cable.)
Independence day,, which the United
States celebrates tomorrow and in
which France joins whole-heartedly,
Invites us, as all anniversaries do. to
look back to the past for a better un
derstanding of the present.
July 4. 1817 The United States had
just entered the world war unre
servedly and ardently. But the United
States was unprepared for war and
her great financial, military and In
dustrial power, which It was my mis
sion to co-ordinate with ours, was
hardly organized. But together we
were laying the cornerstone for a
great edifice. Before the Washington
monument, we were proclaiming the
justice of our common cause and the
strength of our hopes. But none dared
be sure of the result. It was possible
that German militarism might triumph
over free nations.
Arrival In France Recalled.
July 4, 1918 Since May Americans
had been arriving In France at the
rate of 300.000 monthly. Moreover, I
had succeeded in increasing from 250,
000 to 500,000 monthly the tonnage of
American munitions and foodstuffs
for our country. But the allied armies
had just suffered terrible setbacks on
the Somme and at Chemin Des Dames.
The fronts, however, bad been con
solidated and we were ready for the
final test of the German July offen
sive which was destined to lead to an
armistice four months later.
July 4, 1919 One week had elapsed
since in the Hall of Mirrors at Ver
sailles, which had witnessed the
triumDh of mitrht of 1871. the con
quering allies bad signed the peace of
right, the peace which restored liberty
to oppressed Alsace-Lorraine, to Bo
hemia, Poland, Croatia, Slovenia. The
Tyrol and The Treatlno. obliging Ger
many to abandon her militarism and
repair the damage her rggression bad
caused. The peoples confidently ex
pected that the conquerors through a
durable union would put into practice
those principles on which the con
science of humanity was in agree
ment, j
Nothing Declared Done.
July 4, 1920 The treaty had been In
full effect since January 10, but the
allied governments had done nothing
to insure Its execution. They had let
Germany violate with impunity the
clauses prescribing partial disarma
ment March 10 and April 10. At Hythe
and Boulogne, conferences the allies
had abandoned the basic principle of
the treaty, namely the full reparation
of damages, in favor of the German
debt by naming an arbitrarily fixed
sum to be paid. At Spa, the allies had
promised Germany hundreds of mil
lions of francs for coal which the
treaty obliged her to deliver free.
Since March the American house had
refused to ratify the treaty and Ger
many, encouraged by the obvious dis
agreements a month later began im
prudently to reject her plain responsi
bilities and most imperative obliga
tions. July 4. 1921.. The tendency of last
year Is still further emphasized. At
conferences in London and Paris.
France. England and Italy have
granted Germany further time for
disarmament. In May France's claims
had been reduced by 50 per cent. A
burden of 90,000.000,000 francs, repre
senting almost half of the reparations
and pensions fixed upon thus, passes
from the thoulders of tha German tax
payers to the French taxpayers.
German Taxes Declared Light.
Germany, contrary "to the treaty,
continues to pay lighter taxes than
France. Disregarding her signature
and despite the plebiscite results Ger
many claims all of Upper Silesia.
Europe, having revised and mutilated
the solemn contract which was to be
her charter la a prey to improvisa
tions. Defy'ng the conquerors of 1918,
Constantine has remounted the throne
of Greece.
These five anniversaries constitute
an entire lesson In history. One per
ceives In them how a most magnifi
cent effort and the most bloody sacri
fices may become largely sterile it
continuity of purpose is lacking. The
economic situation resulting from
this political situation is sad. Every
act of impudence is permitted and
the reign of law seems farther away
than ever.
The week just passed of-.rs
nothing to relieve the melancholy
which reflection on these five anni
versaries engenders.
Conferences Are Fruitless.
The allied governments have not
yet found the boundaries of upper
Silesia. Greece boldly pushes aside
the pacific advice of the great powers.
Therefore, the Briand-Curzon con
ferences, which the semi-official press
said would settle these controversies
proved fruitless. No common view
point or concerted plan exists be
tween London and Paris.
The Italian cabinet crisis brings the
risk of still further troubles in inter
allied relations.
Moreover, there still is no indica
tion of the direction American policy
will take. All of this being the
truth, I think it should be told. I
further believe that we must not de
spair. During the war at delicate
moments, which, after all. were more
serious than these peace time crises,
the allies made many blunders. In
the long run, however, the common
sense of the peoples rose above the
mistakes of the governments.
Eventually, the right men were
found to set matters straight and
the war was won. The indifference
to politics, observable to all coun
tries at the moment, will not be
eternal. The day will come when
intelligence and determination will
reawaken. On that, day, the bad
naDits oi recent montns - 'in oe swept
aside and the constructive policy
for which the allies so long have been
waiting will be put in operation.
ALLIANCE INTENT GOOD
(Continued From First Page.)
party conclude a treaty of general
arbitration with a third power, it is
agreed that nothing in this agree
ment shall entail upon such contrac
ting party an obligation to so to war
with the power with whom such
treaty of arbitration is in force.'
"This provision in its relation to
the United States has often been
made the subject of conflicting inter-
pretations. To a practical mind,
however, the circumstances 'Which led
up to its inclusion should at once
serve to remove all doabt regarding
its significance. The idea of revising
the alliance in 1911 was conceived
primarily with the object of facili
tating the negotiations which were
known to be in progress then be
tween London and Washington for
the conclusion of a general arbitra
tion treaty.
"Neither Japan nor Great Britain
has ever contemplated under the al
liance any casus foederis prejudicial
or inimical to the interest of the
United States; and any plan designed
to remove the possibility of an armed
conflict between the United States
and Great Britain was, -of course,
agreeable to Japan. -
Article Four is Cited.
"It was In pursuance of this policy
that the quoted provision of article
4 was adopted.
"The same policy inspires Japan as
strongly today as ever before. It
has not. in any degree, been affected
by the fact that the Anglo-American
general arbitration treaty failed to
obtain the approval of the United
States. Nor is It practically neces
sary to carry on the legal analysis
of the question as to whether the
peace commission treaty, signed and
ratified by the United States and
Great Britain in 1914, should be con
strued as a general arbitration treaty
within the meaning of article 4 of
the Anglo-Japanese agreement.
"For. apart from that question, it
was already well understood at the
time of negotiating the existing
agreement that the alliance should in
no case be directed against the United
States.
Explanation Is Made.
"Ih explanation of Japan's attitude
Count Uchida. the Japanese foreign
minister, made the following state
ment to the budget committee of the
Japanese house of representatives on
February 4, 1921:
" 'As far as I understand, when ar
ticle IV of the treaty (Anglo-Japanese
alliance) was inserted, the United
States was specifically in mind and
therefore, as a practical matter the
question whether the general arbi
tration treaty mentioned In'article IV
has been ratified by the United States
senate or not makes no particular
difference. In other words, looking
at the matter from a broad point of
view, we can safely say that already
at the time of the conclusion of the
treaty (Anglo-Japanese alliance) it
was understood that there should be
no application of this treaty to the
United States.'
Friendship Declared Sought.
"Japan is naturally anxious 'to
strengthen the ties of friendship and
loyal co-operation between herself
and the British empire, which she re
gards as ot the utmost importance to
the stability of the far east. At the
same time, it is the firm and fixed
determination of Japan to permit
nothing to hamper her traditional re
lations of good will and good under
standing with the United States. She
is satisfied that these two affiliations
are In no way incompatible, but, on
the contrary, complementary and even
essential to each other.
"Charges have sometimes been made
that the alliance tends to encourage
aggressive designs on the part of Ja
pan in China. If this were the case
It would be contrary to the preamble
of the agreement, which provides for:
" 'The preservation of the common
interests of all powers in China by
insuring the independence and integ
rity of the Chinese empire and the
principle of equal opportunities for
the commerce and industry of all na
tions in China."
"Japan fully realizes that such ad
venture of aggression would not only
be hopeless of attainment, but de
structive of her own security and
welfare. She sincerely wishes for
China an early achievement of peace,
unity and stable government. She
desires to cultivate her relations with
that country along the path of mu
tual respect and helpfulness. Her
vast commercial Interests alone, if
for no other consideration, point un
mistakeably to the wisdom of such
a policy. This Is a basic principle
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. In
no adverse direction has the alliance
ever exerted its influence."

Consternation Reigns Along Dock
as Unexpected Fusillade Is

NEW YORK. June 29. (Special.)
A modern pied piper on board the pas
senger steamer Dante Allghleri.
moored at pier 25. North river, with
the assistance of a pistol expert, em
ulated the famed piper of Hamelin
and unintentionally gave the police
and pier workers an uneasy half hour.
Like every other vessel in port, the
Dante Alighieri has been troubled
with wharf rats. According to l.ng
shoremen, the rodents crawl up haws
ers, sometimes leap aboard and have
even been known to walk the gang
plank when seamen were not looking.
Domlco Corigliuano, appointed rat
catcher by Storekeeper Psssano. has
been having his hands full getting
rid of the rodent stowaways ever
since the steamer came into port. The
rats passed up attractive morsels of
poisoned cheese. Traps proved equal
ly Ineffective. Then Corigliuano re
called the story of the piper of Hame
lin. He talked the story over with
Fassano. an expert pistoWma: '.isman,
who thought it a capital Idea.
Both adjourned to the storeroom.

While Passano stood by with pistol
poised. Corigliuano played enticing
Italian melodies on his piccolo.
Outside on the pier customs and
pier guards barked in the suns'-ine
as they watched longshoremen wheel
ing cargo aboard. Suddenly a pistol
shot was heard from the interior of
the ship. "Vork ceased as everyone
turned -their eyes deckward, waiting
for assailant to appear. Then ano'.her
shot and Thomas McGoldrlck. pier
guard, hurried aboard, drawing his
automatic. He found the place of dis
turbance, but his progress was barred
by the door. .
Returning to the pier. McGoldrlck
ran to the street and summoned Traf
fic Policeman Harms. . Harms blew
his whlstlo and was joined by two
other policemen. Sounds of further
firing were heard. McGoldrlck
brought a sledge hammer. He pound
ed the iron door without getting a
response. Then there were sounds of
unbarring the door and policemen
and pier guards wailed to pounce up
on the supposed murderer.
The door opened, revealing Cori
gliuano and Passano, their faces
wreathed in smiles. "What's all the
shooting for?" demanded McGoldrlck.
"Oh. rats," said one of the police
men. And it wasn't an exclamation,
for there stood Passano with three
large rodents in one hand and a pistol
In the other. Corigliuano held a mu
sical instrument.
The storeroom was mussed up.
Italian cheese had been so riddled
with bullets that it resembled the
Swiss variety.
The policemen resumed their beats
the customs and pier guards returned
to their resting places, and the long
shoremen began anew their job of
wheeling caro aboard.

Persistency
It is only in extremely rare cases that spasmodic
'flourishes of effort achieve permanent success. On
every side, from the work of Nature, and through
the history of artistic, religious and commercial at
tainment, we are confronted vith a preponderance
of proof that great accomplishment has been brought
to successful completion through unceasing effort.
It is surprising what persistency can do when ap
plied to a Savings Account. The habit of putting
away a part of your income, each week or month,
regularly, not only teaches the lesson of thrift, but,
an the end, creates independence.
If you have a Savings Account, BUILD IT!
wIf,not' come nto our Savings Department, where
Mr. Hoyt will supply full information.
Open Saturday evenings from 6 to 8
largest since the world war, accord
ing to Brigadier-General Maurice
Thompson adjutant-general. Colonel

ternoon. Charles Btillwrlght -and
Louis Raymond, '.wo boys, discovered
th . skeleton ot a man. The bones,
which were entirely devoid of flesh,
were lying in the center of a small
windfall, and had apparently been
there five or six year.
The skeleton, which was that of a
medium-sized man, was lying on Its
back, but had evidently beei. moved
by animals. There were a few dark
brown hairs still on the skull, but
the shoes and all the clothing, with
the exception of a small portion of
the trousers, had disappeared. Coro
