Effect of High Freight Rates
Will be Discussed—Geor
gia Senator Aids.
' ' (Spcclnl to The Banner)
Atlanta, Qn.„ .March 31.—A confer
ence. between President Harding, and
representatives of virtualljrall of the
organizations of agricultural and
stock raiaing Interests id the' coun
try will bo held next month at the
white house, according to nows re
ceived here. Oho' of the most Im
portant things to be considered Is
llie ruinous effect which very high
freight rates are having on farm
products.
United States Senator William J.
Harris, of Georgia, has becd pressing
the importance of early reduction In
freight rates, and on several occasions
lias laid his views before tho Inter
state Commerce Commission. The
commission, in replying to Senator
Harris, contends that the operating ex
penses of tho railroads in comparison
with the revenue, does not mako it
possible for a reduction alt this
time.
In the most recent move of the
senior Georgia senator, it was pointed
out that Georgla'a incoming peadb
crop of peaches, watermelons and
vegetables would be seriously affected
if lower freight rates wero not granted
for transportation of tho products to
i ho casters market*. Senator Harris
said it would seriously hurt. If not
partially destroy these Industries, as
well ns cause higher prices for these
products In the sections which have
depended upon them as part of their
food. Senators Fletcher and Tram
melt, of Florida, have Joined In the
fight because of the large truck .farm
products of their state.
senator Harris has expressed him
self as being heartily In favor of the
conference planned for the white
house.'although he feels that tho sit
uation Is so serious that Immediate
steps should be tAcn to relievo the
plight. The Georgia senator contends
that both tho public and'tho railroads
are sufferldg from the- abnormally
high rates for freight Snd passenger
sijrvico.
-famine situation now existing In
North (jbln'a Wad' given out here to
day by Flotcher 8. Brockman, for
merly national secretary of the Y. M.
C. A. for China, who is taking an ac
tive part In tlie appeal of the china
famine fund In America and who at
p'lcaont Is assisting in organizing the
work In the South In conjunction with
the Southern committee. This com
mittee Is receiving contributions at
602 Candler Building, In Atlanta.
According to Mr. Brockman, the In
formation setting 6.000,000 Chinese as
the minimum number dependent upon
America tor life Is absolutely correct
Tills staggering number does not In
elude those who are already doomen
to die because of failure to reach
them. Not many more will be taker
care of troth sources outside of
America. Thcfigures are baaed upon
the latest survey of the famine prov
inces by the American committee and
were telegraphed to Thomas W. La
ronnt. ,
Chinese railways are already carry
Ing 3.000 tons of Food Into tho famlnr
provinces over four trunk lines of
government railways without cost
Many steamship lines up the Yank
Tse River nre also available. The
great and Immediate need Is for
money to purchasa the food. < {
A strong committee, headed by
Charles IL Crane, .American ambas-1
sador, and Including members of the •
consortium of International bankers In j
China, Insures the prompt, honest and;
economical distribution of food to tbi
natIVIs. The Immediate distributer
Is In the hands of mlsslonalres am
native Christians,
Tho Chinese themselves are taking
a foremost part in relief work. Ont
family is reported to have given half
a million; Shanghai raised three mil
lions of a five million ,iuota in th<
first week of a campaign, and from
a(l parts of China, large sums art
coming. But there are 45,000.000 per
sohb u fleeted, making tho task tot
large for any one nation.
