NORWAY in Line
FOR REGULATION
OF LIQUOR TRADE

CHRISTIANIA, Norway-A bill re-
stricting and regulating the sale OF
liquor has been prepared by a govern
ment committee, and as it has the
support of two-thirds of the members
of the newly elected Norwegian parlia-
ment, it will soon be enacted into law.
Total prohibition has been rejected
by the committee as impossible to
enforce and detrimental to real tenn
perance. But it is felt that the sale
of strong liquors should be strictly
controlled. Beer containing less than
three per cent of alcohol is regarded
not only as a harmless but bene-
fetal drink Light wines will also be
favored. The strong drinks will be
dealt with according to their relation
with the grosser forms of drinking.
The teetotalers, however, are not
satisfied with the bill as drawn, and
are trying to bring pressure on par
lament for state wide prohibition.
Many members of parliament, to win
the votes of the teetotalers, pledged
themselves to extreme measures while
personally favoring the moderate.
These men may be forced to vote for
absolute prohibition because of their
pledges, with the result that the pro-
posed bill may be amended to a some
what severer form. ."~"

The federal reserve system made
it possible for national banks of large
capital to organize foreign branches,
and in fact the National City Bank OF
New York now has six branches in
Latin America. Banks in the Middle
West, however, have been urging that
the law should be so amended as to
permit several institutions to cooper.
ate in opening joint branches abroad.
It seems very likely that the federal
reserve board itself will in January
recommend to Congress new legisla-
ton of this purport. At the same
time, there may be other alterations
in the law regarding foreign branch
banks, such as abrogation of require
ment that the main bank set aside a
certain amount of capital for each
branch, thus giving prejudicial i'm.
preston that the resources back Of
each branch are much smaller than
they are in fact.
Increased and organized facilities
for obtaining credit for agricultural
purposes, it will be recalled, have
been repeatedly urged by the presi-
dent and will undoubtedly be pro-
posed in a bill upon which members
of both houses have been collaborat-
ing.
