ON FOREIGN INVESTMENTS

Washington, Nov. 29-Ameri-
can bankers were warned by the
Federal reserve board to avoid
locking up their funds by pur-
chasing treasury bills Of foreign
governments involving long term
obligations. While specifically dis
claiming "any intention of re-
fecting upon the financial stabil-
ity Of any nation," the board of
advises all investors to proceed
with caution and formally an
nounces to member banks Of the
Federal Reserve system that with
the liquid funds which should be
available to American merchants,
manufacturers and farmers in
danger Of being absorbed for 9th
er purposes it does not regard it
i'm the interest Of the country at
this time that they invest III for
eign treasury bills Of this charac-
ter
The statement is regarded i'll
official circles as one Of the most
important declarations by the
board since it's creation. Officials
would not discuss the question Of
publication, but some Of them for
mally interpreted the warning as
the reserve board s answer to the
recent proposal Of j. P. Morgan
& Co., British fiscal agents in this
country, to have American bank
ers Of the British treasury bills
of an indefinite total issue, Sc
cured by gold reserve held in OF

Washington, Nov. 29.-An-
was made that the
Federal Government will make
extensive experiments with the
parcel post for the purpose Of
trying to develop it into an ef-
fective weapon for attacking the
high cost of living.
The first step in this direction
were taken yesterday when the
parcel post experts Of the Post
Postoffice Department held con
ference to formulate some com
prehensive plan by which the
parcel post can be more easily
utilized as a food-product convey
and the city consumer.
When the plan is approved, it
will be tested out in large cities
like New York, Baltimore and
Washington and in some smaller
cities Of about 100000 population.
If it works well, Congress will
be asked for funds to defray the
cost of establishing it throughout
the country.
! The Postoffice Department has
now at it's command the sum o.

H. p. Dawson, OF J. +. Nor
gan g. Co., is back from Europe.
He visited the west front, con-
ferred with the financial heads
Of the allies, and now is back in
New York to lay the lines for
new financing He proposed a
new unsecured Anglo-F French
loan and it is on the market.
1t is time to get down to the
heart Of things and see precisely
the connection between finance
and industry in America. The
most pressing problem is to start
demobilizing our industry; that
is, start gradually transferring
our labor from making wal MUM
tions back to making the things
of peace. Such gradual transfer
is impossible If our financial re-
sources, which carry with them
the power to direct our industry,
are put at the disposal Of the
