climax to the campaign against the
charging alleged usurious rates Of
/ interest by American national banks
which has been prosecuted by Joh1
! shelton Williams, comptroller of the
currency, came today when Comp
troller Williams submitted TO the
house of representatives his annual
repou. in which he rates by ma
tional banks and urges upon con-
rress drastic measures to punish Of
Tenders.
He says:
..Usury unchecked means depopu-
lation. hopelessness, thriftlessness
and resulting loss of producing ca
pacity.
IF there should be an amend
ment." the comptroller adds TO the
national bank act authorizing and
directing the department of justice
to bring suit against usurers upon
information furnished either
through the comptroller of the cur
rencv or through other sources, the
practice of usury in all the national
banks throughout the country can
be stopped. l therefore earnestly
recommend to the present congress
the passage of such a law"

The comptrOllers report states
that on the outbreak of the Euro

their normal interest rates to as
high as II percent in some cases.
Through a threat to publish a list of
names of New York banks not
charging usurious rates ComptrOl-
Ter williams saws he succeeded in
forcing the banks to reduce their
charges to six percent
Taking up the campaign among
the country banks. the comptroller
publishes long tables Of rates charg-
ed in which he shows that rates as
high as 200 percent were exacted by
some banks. Many of these high
rates, the comptroller comedies,
were charged on small loans for
short periods but he cites the in
stances of three oklahoma banks.
which. he declares, show average

Makes Recommendations.
Comptroller Williams recon-
mends to congress, in his report,
much legislation designs to prevent
banks from being "brokep from the

dations are the following;
Prohibit officers from borrowing
from their own banks and prohibit
directors from borrowing except on

Require officers and employees TO

PRESIDENT WORKS
ON TRADE POLICY

International News Service:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - Consul
keblinger at Malta, cabled the state
department today that he had OBJ
tanned amdavits from several sur
vivors of the Persia, including one
from Lord MOntagu. He stated that
he is forwarding them by mail. All
agreed, he said, that the Persia was
sunk without warning and that the
officers of the Persia kept a look
out for submarines all the way
through the Mediterranean.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1O.-The adj
ministration Will make further con-
cessions to congress in its interna-
tional policy. Satisfied that in view
of the efforts made by GERMANY and
Austria TO meet this governments
views on submarine warfare little
further apprehension need be felt on
that score the president today was
busily compiling an outline of a
general trade policy.
IL will apply to all countries. but
naturally Will affect under existing
circumstances only England and
France. 1t marks, officials say. an
earnest effort on the part of the
president 10 meet the views of the
senatorial delegation led bv Sen
Hoke Smith Of Georgia. who have
presented statistics to show that
British illegality was strangling
American trade.
The president also is expected to
reply to Ambassador Won Bernstorfrs
latest Lusitania note without any
further delay. State department
and embassy officials expect him TO
accept the suggested settlement. In
principle it has been approved by
Sec'y Lansing.
The only thing hanging fire is the
phraseology of the note. AS the
document submitted by the ambass-
ador is informal it can be changed
if the president so desires without
jeopardizing final settlement. And
officials say that Germany has met
this government far more than half
way in its contentious.
So far as the Persia sinking was
concerned there have been no new
developments. Ambassador Penfield
still is waiting word from the Aus
TRAN admiralty. But officials say
that they are now convinced that the
sinking of the liner with the loss
Of two American lives probably never
will be fully explained But that
this incident of the war no longer
is considered a serious menace to
the United States is best indicated
by the tacit agreement on the part
