working our a permanent foreign policy
for the 1 ’tilted States, which he hopes

Administration, it was learned at the
State Department today.
Protection of American interests
abroad and equal opportunity through
out the world tor American capital are
two of the principal features of the
Hughes foreign policy. To these might
lie added a third, namely, refusal to have
any official dialings with governments
which decline to recognize the usual
laws of property and of nations .
Secretary Hughes knows that when
American capitalists put their money
into foreign enterprises they want to
feel the American State Department is
going to back them up if necessary.

the records of sales made by the bureau
of motor transport of the Indiana State
highway department.
In a period about seven weeks, dur*
ing all of which time Lawrence Lyons,
Republican State chairman, was director
of the highway commission, from March 7
until the end of April, the commission
disposed of surplus materials for which
the sum of Js.‘-i,2C5.14 was received. Os
this amount M. L. Goldberg & Son pur
c.insed equipment and materials for which
$ ''.119.70 was paid. Os the $3,144.35 bal
ance, oj.e other firm made a purchasa
amounting to $3.00 and the $144.35 was
scattered among several small purchasers,
Those sales were made through the bu
reau of motor transport of which George
Bartley is superintendent, but, accord
ing to John I). Williams, director of tha
commission since the resignation of
Lyons, with tho knowledge and approval
of the highway department. According
to Mr. Williams, the department endear-,
ored to obtain the best possible prices
f"r al! goods sold. In the long list of
articles sold to Goldberg at private sale,
th-re is no record ar the highway de
partment to show what other firms, if
any, were asked for prices on the ma.
teiial.
The only other sale? during the peno(|
were made to It. L. Ittenbaeh, the Guedei-.
iioefer Wagon Company, George Sher
wood and a firm named Williams iSj
Li’, tl-. During the mouth of March tha
Goldberg lirm a*!n Ittenbaeh were ih
only purchasers.
In May, Goldberg was again the larg
est buyer of the surplus materials and
the total amount was nearly that of all
sold during March and April. The prac
tice of selling to Goldberg almost to tha
entire exclusion of any other purchasers
was continued through the balance oj
May, after Mr. Williams become director.
Mr. Williams said Goldberg & Soa
really acted as agents in some instances
and that the profit wnieh he understood
they received, amounted to only a small
commission. Mr. Williams was asked
if he knew who was the recipient for
* lie equipment which Goldberg handled.
Mr. Williams said he thought some of it
went to the Van Camp Hardware and
Iron Company after he was asked If that
company had received some of the goods.
The records show that on March 22.
Goldberg bought from the highway com
mission 10.1/isO yards of khaki cloth for
the sum of $3,154 or an average price of
3 cents p.-r yafd. A loca’ wholesale firm
was ask-.-d what it was selling khaki cloth
at to the retail stores. The firm was
out of khaki but the representative said
that the last sold at cents. He was
asked whether the market had gone up
or down and he replied that the next
sold would probably be at a higher fig

Goldberg from March 7 to April 30 dur
