Appealed to By Grain Men To Stop Clogging of Ports New York.— Produce Exchange members) have appointed a committee of five to confer with bankers to devise some means whereby grain may be exported. The committee was authorized to confer with officials of the govern ment regarding a plan for shipments of foodstuffs from the United States to foreign countries, with the assurance that the cargo will be delivered without being subject to capture. Foodstuffs,” declared B. W. Blanchard, president of the North Amer -11 ar] Grain Export Association, 'are ail contraband of war. We have been told that definitely. Great Britain tas taken over Lloyds, and it is said that a decree has been passed whereby Great Britain agrees to be respon sible for the payment of a shipment.” The'banks do not question the ability of the English government to rriak. this promise good, hut they insist upon seeing the official text of th - decree, and some hankers are insisting that before they made ad vatu <s on bills of lading tha’ the money to meet the, cost of the shipment shall he deposited in the Bank of England or some other institution, and that Ihey shall have cable advice to the effect that a specific sum has been deposited for a specific purpose.” "We must have an outlet for our grain," said a banker. "The United Elates and Japan are the only two countries that have poweT sufficient to protect shipments. "No appeal has been made yet. but there has been discussion of a plan whereby the United States government may be asked to send a war ship with a shipment of foodstuff, to see that it is delivered to the port to which it is consigned. "We are a neutral country, Greece Is neutral, and we have been told that even a cargo shipped to Greece would be subject to capture Such a .-.ensure would be subject to protest, but any one of the belligerents who t' ok the cargo would have possession and mifrht agree to make payment, but tills would fie subject to diplomatic adjustment, and the payment might be delayed until tile end of the war. "No one can forsee what the result of the war may be, and, mean while what Is the hank going to do that has advanced money to the grain dealer?” LONDON HAS 30 P. C. RISE IN U. S.

FLAG ON OCEAN DEMANDED BY CONGRESSMEN Members of House of All poli tical Creeds Urging For Per manent American Merchant Marine Washington, D. C. Members of the bouse of all political creeds are urging legislation providing a permanent Am erican merchant marine. Representative Alxeander, chairman of the committee on Merchant Mamie and Fisheries, said today: "This situation has demonstrated the imperative need of a merchant marine in this country. The country has at last been brought to a realisation of the plight it may at any time find itself in. I believe the result will he to spur con gress on to passing legislation looking to permanent benefits to the merchant ma rine. “Hitherto people have thought that It didn't make any difference whether Am erican goods were carried in American or foreign tiottoins, just so long as they wrre carried, and at reasonable rales. Now they see that the time easily may come when foreign bottoms will not he available. "I believe the legislation passed yes terday will have a beneficial effect to some extent. It will bring unrf-r the American flag some vessels of foreign build. Whether they will remain in American teglstry after things quiet down abroad Is another question." Representative Murdock, leader of the Progressive party in the house: "My idea of the way to build up our merchant marine, at least Insofar as our I^ttn-American trade is concerned, is embodied In the Weeks bill, which passed the senate yesterday. Through the provisions of that bill wo would have the ideal situation of handling our own commerce in government ships com manding all the protection of our flag, operating efficiency and with an eye single to the best Interest of our citizens, and without fear of foreign complica tions. "As to the transatlantic merchant ma rine I do not See the way clear yet. One tiling Is certain, we must encourage it by lotting down the restrictions of the navigation laws along the lines embo died tn yesterday's legislation." Representative Burke, Democrat, of Wisconsin, a member of the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee: "The present situation has demon strated conclusively the need of this country for a merchant marine. Con greea should take cognisance of this. "I do not think the United States will be drawn Into trouble, beracse it wmhi not be necessary for the nations In volved to do more than to pass legisla tion or military regulations prohibiting such transfers by their own subjects as treasonable. This would effectively stop the thing." Senator James Hamilton Lewis, jf Il linois: ”1 have always been an advocate of the building of a merchant marine, and there was never a time when it was needed more than sit present. I have a hill tn the senate providing that the government shall buHd one hundred vessels and lease them to private concrens.** WAR TAX LIKELY, CUSTOMS CUT OFF Customs Receipts at Port of New York $4,000,000 Per Week. Stamp Tax Probably to Help Make up Deficiency Caused by War. “" i (New York World.) Tho complete paralvtu of the conn tr> « foreign trade t>. reaeon of the Kuropean crisis will reeult In such a arent reduction of revenues o' the t’nlted Sta.e* that it will be neces sarv for the government. arcoriilng to the opinion expressed In the im ,>orttna trade >esterdny, to adopt emergency measures for arising funds sufficient to meet l.n expenses It is generally believed in financial circles that the gosunuuent will either impose a stamp tax on checks and legal documents or restore the tax on tea and coffee. Per aps it may be necessary to levy both taxes, as Custom House brokers expressed the o ,inion yesterday that tile revenues from customs will fall off to practically nothing until after the close of the European war. The customs receipts at the port of New York average about $4,000,000 a week, and It will take many revenue stamps and mlThy pounds of tea and coffee to make up the loss that will be entailed by the stoppage of this source of revenue. Up to the present, however, the effect of tee suspension of traffic be tween the United States and Europe has not been felt, as steamers whicu sailed before war was declared are still arriving daily. In fact, accord ing to the records obtained yesterday at the Custom House, customs re ceipts for the last week have been com arativel. little less than those o: the week preceding. The totals for the weeks are: Ending July 27, $4,274,039; ending Aug. 4, $4,219,795. The.
