AGAINST WAR LOAN
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
WARNS BANkS-SEES PERIL
TO INDUSTRY.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT ISSUED
United States Body Notifies lnstitu-
tions of Danger in the Purchase
of Short Term Notes From
Foreign Countries.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The federal
reserve board issued n 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 a 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 or through force Of
circumstances, may have to be re-
newed until normal conditions return.
The boards concern and responsibility
lies primarily with the banking situ-
alton.
IF, however, our banking institu-
lions have to intervene because for
eigf securities are offered faster than
they can be absorbed by investors
that is, their deposltors-an element
would be introduced which, if not kept
under control, would tend toward in
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 adj
vantageously converted into Il 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 te caution the member banks that
it does not regard it in the interest of
the country mt this time that they in
vest in foreign treasury bills of this
character"

ROADS ASK RELIEF OF u. S.
Revolutionary Change in Relations Is
Asked of Coneress-See Govern

Washington, Nov. 25.-The railroads
Of the country made fiat demand on
Thursday for a revolutionary change
in the relations of the government to
the railroads.
General Counsel A. p. Thorn Of the
railroad executives committee told
the Newlands joint congressional
committee investigating interstate
commerce conditions that unless the
present system of railroad control is
reformed, government ownership of the
entire railroad systems of the country
is inevitable.
Mr.. Thorn opened the testimony for
the railroads with an outline of the
position the railroads take concerning
railroad regulations. He declared the
present system has almost complete
ly precluded new railroad consruc-
ton and has endangered the credit of
all railroads.

NO PASS FOR VIENNA ENVOY
Great Britain Refuses Safe Conduct
for Austrian Ambassador to the
United States.

London, Nov. 29.-The foreign of
flee has sent Ambassador Page note
definitely refusing to grant safe con
duct to Count Adam Tarnowsld Won
Tarnow, the new Austhro-H Hungarian
ambassador to the United States.
The reason for the refusal may be
paraphrased rs follows:
Even if international law forbade
the refusal of such safe conduct, the
actions of Austrian and German en-
bassies and consulates abroad have
been so much in excess of regular dip
lomatic functions that the British gov
eminent feels justified in Withholding
its consent for such diplomats to travel
to their posts"

A SUGGESTION.

The unpreeedtnedly large number or 5ersons who have perished on Alaska rails and in remoge districts during ne past winter especially in the lQrthwes.ern portion and on the Sow ,rd peninsula. suggests that there ought to be some means of minlmiz- ns these pitiful tragedies os the north. 1ost of them appear to have oecarre& sIose 10 human habitations. and in .Aany instances the victims were ,nown to have been in the trail; In .her cases the unfortunates could
 ave been a.dsd had regular trAil have been aided had regular tran .....rol been maintained.
 Uncle sam maintains in Alas hundreds of husky men ln practical .dleness. There never has been a satisfactory answer to the question as 0 why army posts were maintained II the various sections of the terri- ory. 1t Is safe to say that these men would welcome duty that would takt stead of wasting their time in idleness rom month to month in barracks. With the force of soldiers constantly maintained in the territory there you'd be an opportunity for the or 5tnizatlon of the most effective trail patrol imaginable.
 Why does not some "constructive statesman" in the war department break through the enveloping red tape sufficiently to give these soldiers useful task to perform. and at the same time furnish measure of pro eetion to the hardy fellows who are pioneering the work of bringing the wilderness under mans subjection? The press of the territory continues to publish lists of murders that have been committed in Alaska for which no one has been brought to the bar of justice. With trail patrol of several hundred men working in con- junction with the civil authorities there would be little chance for the perpetrater Of a crime to escape from the territory
 It Is probable that the utilizing Of the soldier for this purpose often has been suggested. and the many obiec- tions and difficulties pointed out: but there Is no reason why 1t should not be reiterated until the authorities find some way of furnishing protection to travellers in the northland--Idirarod Pioneer
