WEALTH OF WEST SHOWS GREATEST CAIN SINCE 1898
1RepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S.-Decen- trafization of the country's banking resources and widespread distribution of wealth, indicated by an increase in banking resources of one thousand per cent or more in Is states since 1899. was shown by a comparison or present bank resources with conditions 20 years ago issued today by John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency.
 20 years ago was concentrated mainly in the east, the report said, and na- tional banks in New England and eastern states. comprising but six per cent of the total resources of all the national banks in the country. The proportion of the resources of banks in those states to all others now has fallen to 46.7S per cent although the resources of the national banks in those states have increased 211 per cent or s7.71o,9S7.00
 Every section of the country has shared in the tremendous increase in wealth since 1899 but the report shows that the Pacific coast has experienced the largest percentage of increase in national bank resources, amounting to 1,340 per cent.
 National banks in eight western as, Montana. Wyoming, Colorado and New MeXico-have shown an in crease of 500 per cent and the re- sources of the middle west banks in- creased 363 per cent.
 The south also has shown a huge increase 8S9 per cent.
 The increase in resources has amounted to more than 100 per cent in every state except Rhode Island, where the increase was only 2193 per cent
 Commenting upon the remarkable growth. Comptroller Williams pointed out that the resources of the national banks in the states of Texas and Ok lahoma today are almost as great as the total resources of all national banks in the New England and eastern states, except New York, as reported 20 years ago.

WILSON SEEKS
 b|C LOAN FUR
 THE STRICKEN
Asks Congress to Grant Credits of $15Q, ,oOO, ,OU0 for Armenia, Poland and
 Austria-Nations Threat ened with Moral and
 Material Chaos" He Says
[RepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Througn Secretary Glass, President Wilson to- day renewed the appeal to congress to grant credits of $150,000, 900 for Poland Austria and Armenia to alle- viate conditions which threaten moral and material chaos in those countries.
 Secretary Glass presented the presi- dents letter to the house ways ana means committee without comment and the committee deferred considera : ton of it until tomorrow, when it will have a further conference with treas ury officials regarding the loans and financial situation generally. There was no indication when the committee would act finally on the request of MT. Glass that the credit be author ized
 Wilson's Letter
 President Wilson's letter addressed to MT. Glass follows:
 With considerable regret I have no- ticed from the press that congress IS delaying the granting of authority for the extension of prompt and generous relief to the stricken portion of Eu- rope. the urgency and importance of which, especially in respect to Poland. Austria and Armenia, you have fully explained to the ways and means com mittee. It is unthinkable to me that we should withhold from those people who are in such mental and physical distress the Nassistance which can be rendered by making available on credit a small proportion of our exportable surplus of food which would alleviate the situation. While l am sure that you must have explained fully to the ways and means committee the appail- ing situation in those parts of Europe where men, women and children are now dying of starvation, and the ur- gent necessity for prompt assistance, I beg of you that you make another appeal to congress. l am informed that through the published reports or hearings before the ways and means committee the congress has now been furnished with incontrovertible facts showing the necessity for immediate affirmative action. This prosperous republic ought not to bear any part of the responsibility for the moral and chaos that must result from an unwiliingness on our part to aid those less fortunate than ourselves We cannot, merely to husband a small pro- portion of our surplus, permit the hap pening of this great catastrophe.''

Baruch Wrecked
 First Industrial
 Confab IsCharge
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Jan 2S.- Magnus W. Alexander of Boston, who was secretary of the employers group of President Wilson's first industrial conference at Washington in October, addressing the annual convention of the National Association of Merchant Taiiers here today, charged that Ber- nard Baruch wrecked the conference.
 .'Baruch had the public group in his vest pocket" the speaker declared. T am convinced that when he moved to defer action. upon labor's proposition that the conference should arbitrate the steel situation, at the point when it probably would have been flatly re- jected, Baruch killed the conference.
 Why did he do it2 I don't know. There were all kinds of rumors in cir culation to the effect that the labor vote must not be estranged-
 The convention approved plans for a campaign of education in stylish dressing for American men. which pro- vided for a travelling style show to visit virtually every large city iIf the country.
