modify the cotton schedule to-day but
without success. In several instances,

100000 Crop Fund.
TO FOIL "MONEY TRUST"
Treasury Expects That It's New
System Will Prevent Pos

Manipulation.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Aug. 20.-FOr the first time
commercial paper Will be taken as col
lateral for n government loan, according
TO Treasury officials when the S0,oOOUJ
crop loan is distributed to the banks OF
the South, West and Southwest early next
week The department hopes TO be able
TO distribute some Of the funds TO the
South tomorrow or Friday. as the de-
mand from the cotton growing states has
become urgent.
Details Of the collateral asked by the
government were made public by the
Treasury Department to-day, and under
the plan OF distribution II will he possible
TO have 20 per cent OF the security asked
made up Of commercial paper, although
this will be accepted at only 65 per cent
Of its face value.
A deposit OF 10 per cent OF the collateral
in government bonds Is required for the
loan, and the balance. in addition TO con-
ssting of commercial paper, may also
consist Of public utility or municipal
bonds at 70 per cent of theT face value.
Chicago will be the principal distributing
centre of the West. 81. Louis for the
Southwest and Atlanta for the South. II
Is expected that when the list Of banks
that will receive part OF the Joan is
finally made up IL will number nifty, and
these in turn will aid their rural CORE

To Check Money Trust
The distribution OF tho 100000 loan by
the government Is looked upon In admins
tration circles as the first step in the
Presidents plan TO relieve the rural banks
from the tyranny Of the so-called money
trust" and thus to prevent TO n large OK
tent the possibility OF a panic due to a
financial stringency. The control Of the
financial situation by a group of banks
and the possibility OF n panic due 20
manipulation has been one OF the buga-
boos OF the administration, and the fear
has been rampant that when the tarin
hill is passed tho big business interests Of
the country through their financial anilia-
ton. would produce an artificial panic in
order To discredit the work Of the Demo
cratic tariff thinkers.
Treasury officials said to-day that tho
primary object OF the crop loan was TO
let the rural bankers see that they were
not within the tolls OF the group Of banks
which are supposed 10 control the 1nan-
cial situation and which is popularity
known as the money trust II Is In
tended as an object lesson. they asserted.
to show that the government will be
found ready and willing at all times Ia
help out the small bankers. In other
VIC rds. II a panic should loom M on tho
horizon all the small banks have 10 do is
TO appeal to tho government and IL VIII
answer their appeal with promptnoss.
The mere willingness Of the government
10 step in when financial stringency IS
threatened will. II is believed, have -
healthy effect IN preventing anything re-
sembling a panic.
