National Council Says Financiers
Are Attempting to Gain Power
Over Ruined European States
AGRICULTURISTS' OPPOSED
Financial Consolidation Will Be
Fought by Farmers to Finish,
; Ultimatum by George Hampton
By Justin McGrath
ZJ,' Washington. June 21. The Farm
ers' National Counclt will fight with
all its power and influence the pro
positi of leading New York bankers
to haive the financial Interests of the
, United States arrange for consolida
tion with the financial interests of
the world to sustain the war
Stricken countries of. Europe and
their industries during the recon-
- etruction period.
. George P. Hampton, the managing
director of the council, announced
Friday that the plan of the New York
financiers . was directly opposed -to
the plan of the farmers of America, as
expressed through their reconstruction
program adopted at the farmers na
tional construction conference, held in
Washington last January.
At this conference the farmers decided
that among the instrumentalities neees
. sary to make a league of nations really
effective is an international investment
board. .
BELIEVED SOURCE OFWAR ,
In urging the ' establishment of siich
a board the conference declared that
foreign investments have been a prolific
source of misunderstanding between na
tions, and if unregulated will In ' the
future lead to conditions that will make
war unavoidable.
r ' The idea of the conference was that
the establishment of the proposed in
. ternational investment board would pre
vent the investment of money by one
nation in another unless, agreeable to
the nation in which the! investment was
made, and, furthermore; would prevent
the use of force by any nation -to pro
tect or promote the investments of its
citizens. ,
i "The financial intereests of the coun
try." said Mr. Hampton today, "are
Jiow endeavoring, in ..opposition to the
.plan proposed by the farmers of - the
country r to put into effect the plan
proposed by Messrs. Vanderlip, Davison
.. and others, by which the financial inter
ests and not the governments would con
trol the financing necessary for world
' reconstruction.
CITE FINANCIERS POWER
r ' ' '"Mr.. Vanderlip's idea was : that the
.money- should be ' lent . to the distressed
countries and a lien on their customs
Vuld be accepted as security.
. "Mr, Davison's suggestion was that
debentures be issued against the. credits
,' established in Europe. Every country
. would guarantee the debentures against
It- Then the banking interests could
place the debentures with the public,
distributing .them as widely as possible.
""This Tjlan involves, as admitted by
Its advocates, very close cooperation
between the-financial interests and the
governments of the several countries
and puts the financiers in dangerous con
trol of the activities of every govern
ment and the economic and political life
of the people involved.
"Before the European -war started the
total Indebtedness of the world, govern
mental and commercial, was in round
numbers ,$300,000,000,000.
. OPPOSE PBITATE MARINE
' "It has been increased by the war, by
at least 1180,000,000.000. It is necessary
that this " vast indebtedness should be
liquidated at the earliest possible mo
ment, and that pending such liquidation
governments should be in complete con
trol of International investments. . The
; proposal of the ' financial interests is
very close to the working people of the
world and directly opposed to the princi
ples for which America entered the world'
"war.
This is the second issue the Farmers'
National, council has 'raised ' with1 the
capitalist class, the" other being the pro-;
posal to turn over to private interests

"However, the only way to keep them
out of the hands of the extremists is
to give them a square deal, for unfair

Production Will Be Curtailed in
- July and August Because of
Necessity to Overhaul Plants.
Lumbermill operators' of Western
Oregon and Western Washington
are rejecting orders and. heavily re
stricted production is certain during
July and- August because ; of the
necessity of closing down for repairs,
according to Robert B. Allen, secretary,
manager of the West Coast Lumber
men's association.
, "Producers of the west coast are over
sold." said Mr. Allen . Friday night.
"Mill stocks are depleted. Physical con
ditions of manufacturing properties r.e-
cessltate such extensive repairs during
July and August that heavily restrictod
production is certain." "
These conditions have forced the in
dustry, during the past week, to an in
tensified policy of selective order ac
ceptance. The situation is without pre
cedent, according to Mr. Allen,
The refusal of manufacturers to ae
cept a considerable amount of the bust
ness offered brought new business on
the books of the mills below production
for the first time in 15 weeks, according
to the West Coast association's trade
bulletin. Ordinarily at this time ,f the
year such a showing would indicate a
seasonable decrease in orders due to
light buying in agricultural districts dur
ing harvest. This year, however, the
volume of business offering - shows no
letup in retail yard buying, either in the
rcity or country districts, u
Notwithstanding the heavy volume or
business booked and offered, the in.
dustry as a whole is not prosperous, Mr.
Allen said. Costs, held somewhat In
check ' through governmental regulation
during wartime; are again showing a
disposition to pyramid. The composite
cost statement of 43 representative mills
for the month of April shows that the
cost of production of a thousand feet of
lumber is $21.54. The composite sales
report of the same mills indicates a re
turn of $20.68 , per thousand feet of
lumber manufactured during the month
of April.
For the first 24 weeks of this year
new business has exceeded production
by 17 per cent and shipments. have ex
ceeded production by 11 per cent. Stocks
at the beginning of the year were under
normal as to quantity and assortment.
The condition of stock shortage and de
moralisation has bt-en further enhanced
by the heavy excess of both orders and
shipments over production practically
every week, of the year.
