Forget National Defense Med

Picks Flaws in Federal Reserve

TOO EASY NOW
sEither Disband Army and
Scrap Navy or Prepare"
Pres. Lynch of American Assn,
for National Defense.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 2S.-Presi-
dent James X. Lynch of San Fran
cisco, addressing the American Bank
Frs association at the opening of ITS
general convention this morning, con-
graduated the association on the sub
stantiaI progress made during the past
wear, both in membership, which has
now reached a total of 6,016 banks,
and in its numerous activities, which
have exercised a profoundly beneficial
Influence on the banks of the country.
With respect to the federal farm
loan act, Mr.. Lynch declared that
zshile the end sought was sociological
an endeavor to stem the drift of pop
rulation to the cities. lower rates OF
Interest and greater facilities for get
ting into debt would not of themselves
serve to accomplish this result The
men who have the most intimate ex-
perience with farm conditions gem
orally believe that borrowing is al
ready too easy for the farmer" he
Esaid.
great flotations of foreign loans here
and the enormous inflow of gold, Mr..
Lynch said:
Must Control Gold Supply.
~ I'VE may expect that as soon as the
war is over and the normal imports
of merchandise are resumed the ex-
cess of gold will leave us, and this will
be by no means an evil. The sur
plusage of gold and the loaning power
set free by the federal reserve act to-
gether are likely to cause a credit eX-
pansion which will need careful sup
ervision by our bankers, to the end
that the corresponding contraction
does not find us unprepared. The con-
troll of both the export and the inn
port of gold should be guided by the
federal reserve board, which was in
tended to perform this function and
which has the power necessary to stab
ilize exchange thru this means"
Without using the word prepared
ness" Mr.. Lynch made a strong plea
for preparedness and national organi-
cation. He said:
THE primary purpose of a govern
ment is to provide adequate defense
for the country governed, and how
shamefulIy this purpose has been neg
,iected under one administration after
another is familiar tale. Should our
people demand that the army be dis
banded and the navy strapped, the
position would be consistent, but to
consent to an army pitifully made
Quate and to a navy that dooms our
boys to hopeless defeat and certain
death is not the American way of
doing.
America Not Awake.
IN fact, America is not awake; her
people nave Deeh puSy SelllHS Ilch
and her legislators have carried viii
lage politics into national affairs, and
have busted themselves with petty
improvements and meddled with the
business concerns of the citizens, with
out clear idea of the harm they were
doing or an understanding of the
world problems requiring solution.
eff our people can rise to the
heights of citizenship that the times
demand, the work that must be done
can be accomplished peacefully and in
order. but if they will not learn from
the bitter experience of our kin across
the sea, the reformation will be work

BOYS ARE STEALING
Epidemic OF Thefts by Negro Youths
on Kansas Avenue.

The police, according to- Harvey
Parsons, chief, are fighting, practical
ly without a weapon, an epidemic of
petty thefts wherein negro youths less
than l 5 years old are the offenders
The negroes, according to the po-
lice, are petty offenders against busi-
ness houses mostly. They go into a
store on pretext of wanting to buy
something and when a clerk isn't look
ing they snatch some small article
from the counter.
'tIt does practically no good to ar
rest the offenders" Chief Parsons
says '"They are too young to put in
Jail and only can be taken to probate
court where the penalty is light. They
don't seem to care, under the circum-
stances, if they do get arrested"

SHY ON FOOD CONTRACT
Scarcity of Vegetables Prevents Many
Bidding on Navy Supplies.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Bids for food
supplies for the United States navy
just received here are much higher
than those of last year. Some of the
items called for. such as beans and
corn, are so scarce that many firms
which usually bid for these contracts
did not compete
Only two firms bid on the string
bean contract and offered to fill only
part of the order of 100000 pounds.
One firm offered to supply 10000
pounds for $22,120. The lowest bid
for 100000 pounds of canned corn
was $s5,174, while 100000 pounds Of
canned tomatoes were offered for
SI12,945.
One of the largest items on the list
was $4,000 pounds of canned peaches
which were offered at S51.
