of particular interest because Port

was a manipulated campaign carried

1t first points to the fact that New
York banks hold almost exclusively
$40, 100000. of the Governments
money on which they do not pay a
cent of interest. 1t then proceeds to
trace the prosperity of the country to
the point where high rates of interest
attracted much coin to New York,
whereupon business gamblers got in
to contest that wrecked some of
them and resulted in the locking up
Of Western funds in Eastern banks.
1T has been the judgment of the
Telegram from the very first that
this so-called panic was deliberately
planned and Just as deliberately car
ried out. 1t was so maintained and
stated from the very beginning.
Here and there is coming confirma-
ton. For instance, Benjamin Ide
Wheeler, president of the University
of California, said yesterday after
coming out of the White House at
Washington: The panic came like u
blow from the outside. II is evident
ly purely a currency panic, touched
off in New York and is the result OF
too much 23-story banking in that

Having had a surfeit of the Knock

pie are turning to the adoption of
natural, healthy-minded methods in
conducting public and business af-
fairs.

The first document sent out as

That II Is the duty of the trade
press and the business men OF the
country to make every honest en-
deayor to find such boarded mon
ey and bring pressure to bear up
on its hoarders to put it back into
circulation.
That money thus released be
deposited only in banks that agree
to put 1t back into legitimate
channels of trade forthwith, and
that manufacturing and mercan-
tile interests be asked to do bust
ness with such banks and with
them only.
That the countermanding OF
orders, the closing of factories and
the laying-off of thousands of
wage-earners is uncalled for by
any underlying condition of bust
ness itself, and that immediate
steps to stop the senseless scare Is
