FARMER-LABoR PARTY
 APPEALS TO CoLoRED VOTERS

Topeka, as, Oct. 17.-An appeal to the colo-ed voters of Arericl to enroll under the banner of the farnler-labor party and denunciation of foreign policies of both the democratic and the republican parties marked an address here tonight by Par ley Parker Christensen. farmer-labor can didate for president
 The same imperialistic motives for the benefit of Wall street animate both the democratic and republican parties" said MT Christensen. of course. this actual motive is always vanished with a spuri- ous veneer of morality to deceive the peop.e
 And then there are those like Mir. Will son who, as Artemus Ward once remark ed, Are willing to sacrifice all their wife's relations to make the world safe for democracy.
 We in America should have better taste than to talk of making the world safe for democracy. We. wit hour Burle- sons ouC Palmers, our deportations. our lynchings, and our many discriminations against our colored brothers.
 Tt is not inappropriate, in this state which played so important q part in the abolition movement. that l say something as regards the attitude of the farmer labor party towards the demands for justice voiced by the colored people. "The republican party professes to be the champion of the rights of the colored people They declare that it was the re- l publican party which was instrumental
 in emancipating them, and they depend on this contention to swing the colored vote. But it is obvious to anyone wit, even peanut brains that the republican partylof today resembles the republican partytof '61 in name only. | "I maintain that the republican party is not entitled to the colored vote, be- cause it's heart really is not in theil cause. There is in that party no passior for that kind of justice, whether it bt social or political.
 , T invite the colored citizenry of Amer ica to consider the cause of the farmer labor party. We demand justice for then not only for their sake but because ",
 believe they can contribute as much a
 any other people toward the making of 1;
 better America"

 "The high rates for call money in New York have thus shut off large part of the investment demand for securities, which during the past twelve months largely because of these disturbign con ditions, have been forced down to the lowest prices reached in 40 years.
 Tt is my belief that if the call money rates in New York had been maintained ht per cent, or al O. 1--1;mum rates which are charged in other money cen ters, as I believe could have been done with a reasonable degree of cooperation upon the part of the New York banks the unprecedented shrinkage in sceur ty prices in the past twelve months would not have taken place and the apparent loss of billions of dollars in values would have been avoided"
 Sworn reports to his office, MT. Will Hams said. showed that more than 1000 loans had been made by the New York banks betWee October l. and August l. 1920. at rates of "15. 20, 25 and 30 per cent" In three of the largest banks, loans made at those rates and between those dates aggregated more than $600,- OOO. 900, he said The figures, he added present only the loans made by the i banks for their own account and not for the correspondent banks. 'The record also shows Mr. Williams declared that l the total loans outstanding upon which | interest at Is to 30 per cent. was being ! charged by a portion of these banks on i AZ different days, for which reports were received from them aggregated over $1,- 1 100, 900, 900. The records also show that l inc amount of loans made during the i same period at rates in excess of 10 per cent. and up to but not including Is per ! cent. amounted to over $1400. .000, 900 1 there being over II 900 of such loans.
 Tn addition to the above aggregate of
 the loans upon which a portion of the i banks reportel that they were charging l on S1 different days. interest in excess of l 10 per cent, and up to but not including 15 per cent, was about $500, 900, 900. The | brokers or street loans upon which the New York banks during the period referred to- were charging more than per cent. per annum and up to 10 per cent. reach, in the aggregate some bill lions of dollars additional in amount l and tens of thousands in number" | As~to a remedy for the situation, Mir
 Williams saw only the hope that public sentiment will be strong enough to bring
 about reforms" and expressed the blie1
 that the tremendous responsibilities 0 the New York bankers and fnancier'
 would sooner or later be relized bl
 by those who carry those responsibilities
 He said that some of them honestl.
