WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
— CONGRESSMAN — TEXAS —
of Nations and it is not
known whether this was the
cause of the collapse of the
League or not, but it is true
that the League of Nations
becume powerless to deal
with situations ihi t arose. I
refer to Italy's taking of
Ethiopia in violation of the
League and Germany's tak
ing over Austria, (ztchoslo
vukia and Poland in viola-
tion of the League of Nations
agreement.
As convincing evidence that
the change in our Neutrality
Act has proven to be the best
course, America has not lost
one single ship or cargo by
reason ol' this war. If Cong
res had not changed the
Ac' so us to prevent thfest
ships from enterii g these
dangerous zones, doubtless
many of them would have
been sunk before this time.
We are paying a pretty
heavy price to keep out of
danger. The caange in the
Law which resiricts our ship
pin?, has caused many of our
vessels to become idle and
many seamen to bee me un-
employed. At the same tim<:,,
it Las caused a scarcity of
veasels to carry cargoes
from Amer. can to European
ports. This being brought to
our a ttenti >n Dy the higher
transportation rates that
are now prevailing. During
the early part of September,
it cost only $i!.00 a bale to
ship cuttcn from American
ports to European ports,
The last of D cember, the
char e increased a hundred
per cent, or to £4.00 a baie
i he first week in December,
ti e cha!ges had increased to
19.75 per bale and in addi
t t n cost oi insurance had in
creased in proportion. The
result has been that during

L.ongview. December 11—In-
creased interest in Latin Ameri-
can trade and cultural relations
will be recommended to board
the first week in December,
only 50,000 bales of eottcn
were shipped to European
ports from America; v\heie

week, 183,000 bales weie

of directors of East Texas
Chamber of Commerce at their
January meeting.
The announcement came from
Tom P. Walker of Beaumont,
I chairman of the World Trade
Relations Committee, following
open forum on the subject in
Beaumont, Tuesday, and subse-
quent consideration by commit-
tee.
"Widespread interest in the
meeting, as well as grrwing
interest indicated by letters
coming to the East Texas Cham-
ber offices, shows that business
interests of Texas, including
many inland towns, are hopeful
of expanding their export busi-
ness with Central and South
American countries," Hubert
M. Harrison, general manager
of the regional chamber, said.
It has been suggested that
the East Texas Chamber serve
as a clearing house and coordi-
nating agent in the encourage
ment and facilitation of export
trade for inland towns whose
chambers of commerce do not
have foreign trade departments.
At the reaornmendation of
Vice-Chairman F. W. Parker,
of Galveston, the committee
will meet again early in January
to evolve a program of work
for presentation to the director-
ate.
J. W. Badgett, of the Rog
ers National Bank, who has
been ill for several days, is
able to be a round town and
will soon be back on the job
to the delight of his many
friends.
America Staying Out Of War
The change in the Neutral.
ityAct, which waR made by
the Special Session of Cong-
ress, has proven so far to be
the best way of staying out
of war troubles in Berope.
For instance, under the pres-
ent law, our American ships
eannot enter the danger zona,
designated by the President;
neither can American citi-
zens enter this zone. Hereto-
fore, our ships and citizens
going into these places of
danger have caused u* to be-
come involved. This was es-
pecially true during the
World War.
Further, people in this
country cann t extend loans
to any belligerent country.
All sales must be for "cash
on the barrel head." Credit
contributed to our involve,
ment in the W r 1 d War, so
we nr? esc ipin* that hazard
in the new A ct.
It is not the sale of mater-
ials to a warring c untry
that is c i leu a 'ed to g. t u-
in!ut'oub < so.uu<h;s it is
the k'li r.v of materials

Pres dent Wi son insisted,
when the Treaty of Ver-
sailles was signed after th<
Wor d W. r that it wa< rot
worth ti e p ipei li as
writ en on, unicss the major
powers of the world joined
the League of Nations to
carry it out. President Wil-
son insisted that without
such a League, these small-
er countries would be help-
leas and would eventually be
taken over by the larger
countries. It will be remem-
bered that the United States
refused to join the Leaguei
