PREDICTS A PROSPEROUS ERA
Comptroller OF Currency Says Reserve
Bank Action in CURLING Credit
Had Good Effect.

ington.-Asserting that while
the application by the federal reserve
bank of brakes on credit had Earring
effect ION some nervous systems"
John Shelton Williams, comptroller of
the currency, in a recent statement
said general business conditions
throughout the country afforded
abundant reasons for confidence and
encouragement in the future
Action of the federal reserve banks
in largely depriving non-essentials
and Injuries from the use of credit
was said by Mr. Williams to have had
very beneficial effect. Reports show
a marked, tendency toward liquidation,
he said, adding he believed the credit
restrictions were responsible for
such declines in ESices as have come.
Mr.. Williams said there was a pre-
valent pessimism which was unwar-
ranted in that the banks were in a
particularly well fortified position"
He cited figures from reports on the
last national bank call on June 80 to
show that there were increases in
loans by banks in only two sections,
Eastern and Cleveland districts.
The currency comptroller attacked
New York banks for exacting an in
terest charge ranging as high as Is
per cent. New York bankers, he said,
were the only ones in the country
charging such interest rates, which he
believed to be burdensome on bust
ness as well as without justification
for their excessiveness. These banks,
Mr.. Williams, said have been obtain
ing credit from the federal reserve
banks at less than per cent.
Those inclined to pessimistic views
as to our financial situation" Mr.. vii
iiams continued. probably do not
know or do not appreciate the i'm
mensely significant fact that our fed
eral reserve banks have an unused
lending power of S75O,00O,0OO at this
time. If the occasion required, the
board could, by waving reserve re
quirements on deposits and notes only
10 per cent, increase the unused lend
ing power to S2,5O0,0OO, 900. which is
twenty-five times as much as all OF
| the national banks ever borrowed al
one time on bills payable and reds
counts prior to 1913. In the face OF
such figures and facts as these, the

Missions Will Make Supreme
Effort to Save New Repub-

ALLIED OFFICERS TO COMMAND
Operations Against Reds to be Direct
ed by French and EneIish-War-
saw in Peril.

London-The apparent breakdown
of the peace negotiations between
Russians and Poles has aroused the
allied governments to an attempt to
make good on their promise Of mill
tary aid to Poland.
A supreme effort is to be made to
save Warsaw, menaced by the ad-
vancing red forces.
General Weygand. who is acting as
adviser to the Polish general staff,
is rapidly putting into effect the
plans of cooperation previously
agreed upon.
Many Allied Officeds Arrive.
The foreign office regards the
chance of an agreement on an arms
tice as slim. Meanwhile six hundred
French officers and from two hun
dred to three hundred British have
arrived in Poland and large quaint
ties of war materials are on the way.
The BoIsheviki are swiftly driving
two wedges through the fragile Pc
lish lines, one to the north in the di-
rection of Lomza and another in the
center The southern wing seems to
While the military situation is re-
garded as most serious, the foreign
office has not yet abandoned hope
of saving Warsaw.
The Bolsheviki have advanced to
within forty-eight miles of Warsaw
and about thirty miles of Lemberg,
according to official statements from
Moscow, French foreign office ad-
vices and information received in
diplomatic quarters here today.
To Impose MerciIess Peace?
If Warsaw and Lemberg fall into
their hands, then it is believed the
Bolshev:ki will impose a merciless
| peace on the battlefield, one which
will reduce Poland the buffer be
tween the reds and Western Europe
to the estate of mere bolsheVist
province.
The Polish armistice delegates. &C
cording to a wireless message from
Moscow, were authorized only to dis
cuss armistice terms. The bolshevist
representatives demanded that they
agree to final peace terms when the
Poles said they had no power to do
so, the reds told them to go back to
Warsaw and get the necessary au-
| thority.
The Polish delegation started for
Warsaw Monday. The next meeting
was scheduled to be held at Minsk
far behind the bolshevist lines, Thurs
day 1t was considered exceedingly
doubtful that the premier Witos and
the Polish cabinet would empower
the delegates to agree to peace terms
at a conference held virtually on the
battlefield, at least not until after the
advice of France had been asked.
