BANK SYSTEM BARS
PANIC, THEY THINK

Macon Feb 5.-Tho first real test
Of the Federal Reserve system of this
country is now being made, and,
aocordingf to Macon bankers is is
standing the strain.
With conditions as they are now,
many business men and bankers yes
terday said that without the Federal
Reserve system there would be a
panic. The Federal Reserve system,
to save the day, has advanced the
money rates, causing business men
and bankers to exercise extreme
caution in their affairs and forcing
l,bankers to operate on narrow mar.
gin of profit.
Short term paper that was formerly
eagerly sought by bankers is not be-
ing hunted, but all customers are
being cared for.
The effect Of the increase in the
interest rates in the Federal Reserve
system, the rate charged to bankers
lhas been to reduce speculation and
to slow up the sale in the New York
market, especially where the bDttora
appears to have dropped out Of the
market, even affecting Liberty bonds
and Victory notes.

PLAN TOPAY BIG
WHISKEY LOSSES

Washington, D. CA compre-
hensive program for reimbursing own
ers of intoxicating liquors for losses
suffered lander constitutional prohi-
bition will have the serious consider
ati1n of leading prohibitionists in
congress and by the internal revenue
bureau, it was learned today.
A proposal has heen submitted ITO
the treasury department by some of
the leading prohibitionists in con
gress which provides that the govern
most shall purchase all liquors now
held under bond, amounting to about
l60,OO0,OOO gallons. Treasury certifi-
ates would be issued for the liquor
and these liquidated only as the gov
ernnSent finds legitimate spirits. The
financial outlay would be about
$1OO, 100000.
From ten to twenty years, prohi-
bition leareds estimate, will be re-
quired to use up this stock legiti-
mately, such as for medical, scienti-
fic or industrial purposes. If the plan
is carried out government experts
will he instructed to conduct expert
ments in an effort to find new con-
verted uses of the liquor, such as for
motive power.
The fact that many banks, holders
OF warehouse certificates for govern
ment bonded liquor, will be large
losers unless s<.me relief is granted
in finding favor for the programe.
Prohibitionists, whose support of
such a proposal is a distinct surprise
believe the plan will provide for q
stricter and m.ore economical enforce
mcnt Of prohibition and cause much
of the antagonism throughout the
country to the dry era wane.

over-consumpti3n; it it cannot last"
They say it is a fatal mistake to
reduce the output of labor when the
world needs production worse than
ever Nefore, and when extravaganza
is added to this evil disaster will
certainly follow a continuance of this
folly.
The initiation of currency and cred
Z IS recognized as dangerous con
dition, and there is a general demand
for deflation. ill this connection many
insist that bankers should refuse
lJans for speculative purposes and
lend freely to productive enter

wyrld ever saw this period will be
more pronounced than ever before.
Those who take this view suggest
that time is the only solvent and a
period of four years is suggested as
about the time it will take to bring
conditions back to normal.
Several bankers hold that high
prices and wages will increase pro-
duction, but more insist that these
factors do not operate under present
conditions because labor is not put

SOUTH AMERICAN CHURCH
 CELEBRATES CENTENARY

RIO DE JANEIRO. - Christ church of this city, which soon will celebrate its centenary, is said to have been the first Protestant church to be built in South Ameri- ca. It was erected to provide a place of worship for the English community here. Two restrictions were placed on the church: the ex- terior was to resemble a dwelling house and not temple, and no bells were allowed Out of this con- cession grew the religious liberty which exists nov in Brazil.
 Today there are two Anglican dioceses and 10 churches in South America. One diocese includes Ar gentina and Brazil, with a bishopric in Buenos Aires: the other includes the Falkland islands and the West coast countries. In addition to the Anglican churches, there are many other Protestant churches scattered throughout South America.

CHINkS GLAD TO SEE
 AMERICAN INTEREST

Referring to the recent arrangement of an Americo-C Chinese
 banking corporation with a capital
 of S10,000,000, the kokusai News
 agency says that this enterprise
 may be regarded as foreshadowing
 the opening of economic activity by
 the United States in postwar commercial and industrial campaign
 in China.
 It adds: 1t is obvious that with the aid of the American financiers the Northern military group of Chi na will be enabled to carry out a policy favorable to their interests in
 the future, which will eventually af- feet the interests of the Southern group. There is no doubt that the hand-shaking of the American and Chinese bankers in the establish. ment of an America Chinese bank lays the foundation for joint oper. ations of American and Chinese capitalists in the economic develop ment of China in the future, mat ter which calls for the keen atten- tion of Japanese business men who are closely interested in the eco homie development of China"

MEETING CALLED FOR TONIGHT FOR
 IMPORTANT TALK

\ special meeting of the Nenana Commercial club will be held at the quarters of the organization in the Union building tonight at nine o'clock, for the consideration of business of particular importance ito the town and district The call for the meeting was prompted by the receipt of telegram from Manager J. L. McPherson, of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Cham Der of Comerce and Commercial club, stating that meeting of the bureau would be held in Seattle to- morrow night for the consideration iof Alaskan affairs. and that Mir. McPherson would leave for Wash ington, D. C.. the following day to represent the bureau at the national capital. The Nenana organization is in- vited to communicate by wire with the bureau, suggesting the manner in which the bureau and its man. lager can assist Nenana, and it is the hope of the officers of the club that the meeting tonight will be
 largely attended and productive of suggestions The matter is one that cannot wait until the next regular meeting.
 It is probable also that the pro-
 posed curtailment of the Nenana
 telephone service, rumors of which
 are in general circulation in town today, will receive the considera-
 tion of the club, and that formal
 protest will be made against such a
 step on the part of the Alaskan
 Engineering commission. The plan
 outlined by MT. Browne proposes
 the elimination of the night service
 between the hours of II and ', and
 the substitution of some sort of an
 alarm system to keep the public in
 touch with the powerhouse and the
 freha!l, in case of fire during those
 hours.
 The meeting will start promptly
 at nine.

WIRES STILL DOWN;
 BREAK IS BAD ONE

The break in the Government tel egrapn line south of Gulkana, which was caused by storm in that To- cality night before last, is of great CT proportions than was at first supposed, according to information received in Nenana today. A long stretch of wire is said to have been blown down by the storm, and the condition of the weather is such that it is not known just when re- pairs can be expected.
 Little hope is held out for re- sumption of the service today, and efforts to secure news by way Of the Canadian line and the Eagle wireless also have failed, because of break that is reported in the Dominion line. The experience of Interior Alaska newspapers has been that the Canadian line always fails when anything is wrong with the American line.

MEXICO CITY.-Railroad service Tn Mexico, both passenger anri freight, will be nearer to normal this month than. for nine years, the directors of the National railways for the past few months having made strenuous efforts to acquire rolling stock and to put roadbeds in good condition.
 Director General Pauline Fontes, since his accession to the head of the national lines a few months ago. has made numerous recommends tions for necessary projects, most of which have been granted by the government. Large sums have re- gently been expended in the United States, it is said, for locomotives, passenger coaches and freight cars, and negotiations are now in prog ress with an assurance of success that Pullman service on all worka- ble lines will be resumed early this year
