at work preparing for the Congress, in
gathering data and statistics.
The most logical way of raising
money at this time, it was the opinion
of members of the Congress as well of
the Aleph Beth Club, was the giving of
a large dance on Yom Kippur night,
particularly in view of the fact that
during the past years, many of the
Twin City clubs have given such affairs,
so that Yom Kippur dance is looked
forward to by the young folks. The
affair will be a large community ball
at one of St. Paul's largest halls. Mr..
Maurice Seratan is chairman of the COM
mittee in charge, and he is urging all
organizations in St. Paul and Minneap-
oils to put aside this evening and join
with the committee in making the af-
fair financial success, so that the
Twin Cities may be credited with part
of the achievements and accomplish
ments of the American Jewish Con-
gress, whatever they may turn out to
be.
Peace Agreement Ratified by St. Paul
Jewish Congress Organization.
A special meeting of the St. Paul
Jewish Congress Organization was held
last Tuesday evening at the Royal Ar
canum Hail. The meeting was called
for the purpose of considering the peace
agreement entered into between the
executive committee of the American
Jewish Congress and the conference of
National Jewish Organizations, the
memorandum of which agreement was
published in the last issue of the World.
Early in the week, the delegates from
St. Paul to the preliminary conference
held last March in New York, receiv-
ed referendum ballots on this agree
ment, and it was upon their request for
instructions from their constituents
that the meeting was called to deter
mine what attitude St. Paul Jewry de-
sired to take in the matter. After a
very interesting and lengthy discussion
of the proposed changes, the delegates
were instructed to vote in favor of the
proposed settlement.
Special meetings of the Lady Zionists
and of the Tikvath Zion Gate were also
held to voice the attitude of these or
CARNATIONS as to how the delegates
from the Federation of American Zion
lists to the preliminary conference
should vote. The votes of both of these
organizations were in favor of the rati-
icatiOn of the agreement. A meeting
of the Poale Zion for the same pur-
pose, resulted in their rejection of the
agreement.

U. S. WARNS BANKS
TOLD OF DANGER TO INDUSTRY
IN WAR LOAN NOTES.
Federal Reserve Board Sees Peril In
the Purchase of Short-Term
Notes.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The federal
reserve board issued a statement on
Monday warning banks and the public
against the purchase of shOrt-term for
eign notes.
The statement will be a severe blow
to the financiers who were planning to
float these loans in the United States.
The statement says in part:
"In view Of contradictory notes
which have appeared in the press re-
garding its attitude toward the pur-
chasing by banks in this country Of
treasury bills of foreign governments,
the board deems it duty to define its
position clearly.
"The board believes that at this
time banks should proceed with much
caution in locking up their funds in
long term obligations which are short
term in form or name, but which,
either by contract of through force Of
circumstances may have to be re-
newed until normal conditions return.
The boards concern and responsibility
lies primarily with the banking stu
alton.
IF, however, our banking institu-
tiOns have to intervene because for
eign securities are offered faster than
they can be absorbed by investors
that is, their depositOrs-an element
would be introduced which, If not kept

stability and ultimate injury to the
economic development of this cOun-
try.
while the loans may be short in
form and severally may be collected at
maturity, the object of the borrower
must be to attempt to renew them col
lectively, with the result that the ag-
gregate amount placed here will re-
main until such time as it may be ad-
vantageOusly converted into a long
term obligation. 1t would, therefore,
seem that funds of our banks, which
should be available for short credit
facilities to our merchants, manufac-
turers and farmers, would be absorbed
for other purposes to a disprOpOrtiOn-
ate degree, especially in view Of the
fact that many of our banks are al
ready carrying foreign obligations
which they are under agreement to re-
new.
"The board deems, therefore, its
duty to caution the member banks that
it does not regard it in the interest of
the country at this time that they in
vest in foreign treasury bills Of this
character"

New York, Dec. 4.-The firm Of J. P.
Morgan & Co. has withdrawn the pro-
posed sale of $5O,OOO,OOO of British and
French treasury bills, according to In
strlctiOns received from abroad.
The announcement was contained in
the following statement:
1--WE have been instructed by the
British and French governments to
withdraw their treasury bills from sale.
We have accordingly expressed to
those institutions and investors which
had already placed orders with US for
these securities to wish to be released
from the obligations to deliver and
they have been good enough to accede.
This action is because, as explained
by the British chancellor Of the ex-
chequer and by the French minister of
finance, these governments desire to
show every regard to the federal re-
serve board, q governmental body of
which the secretary Of the treasury
and the comptroller of currency are
ex-OfticiO members.
I'VE may add that the sale In hm-
tied amount of these treasury bills pay
able in dollars in New York has never
been an essential part of the allied gov
ernments' financial plans, but have for
some time been under consideration
with a view to furnishing a credit
medium that fOuld accommodate the
American banking demands for an in
Strument of short maturity and Of such
limited volume that the government
could always undertake to lay down
gold in New York sufficient to meet the
matured bills.
ut was believed further that these
bills would have furnished at the end
of the war an excellent measure of pro-
lection to the American financial situa-
ton inasmuch as these steadily matur-,
ing obligations of the foreign govern
ments would have tended to prevent
heavy drafts Of gold from this mar
ket"
An Informal statement was made by
member of the Morgan house that no
other financial plans have been fOrmu-
lated in place of the ones abandoned.

fee has sent Ambassador Pages note
definitely refusing to grant safe-cOn-
duct to Count Adam TarnOwSki Won
TarnOw, the new AustrO-Hungarian
ambassador to the United States.
The reason for the refusal may be
paraphrased as follows:
"Even if international law forbade
the refusal of a safe-cOnduct, the
actions of Austrian and German en-
baEsies and cOnsulates abroad have
been so much in excess of regular dip
lomatic functions that the British gov
ernment feels justified in Withholding
it's consent for such diplomats to
travel to their posts"
