MONEY PINCH REFLECTED
IN LOWER LOCAL MA ARKEr
another Sharp Drop in General Asphal-
Along Whole Line e

The money market pinch was reflected
IN modest way also In the local market
IN general lowering of prices of most
ot the more prominent stocks. In GER
tam parts, more noticeably among the
nigher- priced issues, the market was
thin, but in most cases It was gener-
ally case of fraction chipping. ...
Little additional light on The credit
situation than the facts already known
was obtainable in the banking district.
Ihere was one common expression,
Money Is tight" OF course, the Dor !.
rowers have long since known that fact.
In many cases, however, the question
OF rates is positively a secondary con ;
sideration, the more important side is
the matter of accommodation and the
extent.
1t was, however, the testimony of
the officials Of the majority of the insti :.
tutions Of there having been already a
very material curtailment Of credits on
all lines. This has been accomplished
by systematic reduction of outstanding
credits upon the requests Of renewals.
That is, say, all maturing loans are
subject to severe analysis, and all re-
newals are curtailed as far as it is
reasonable.
A large number Of sixty day loans
will be maturing within the next few
weeks, and these will be subjected to
the same drastic process, and similar
treatment will be applied to the ninety
day loans made in the latter part of
December.
In these mancuvers it is expected
loanabc funds by the early part of
April will be in a more liquid form than
has been the case since the outbreak Of
the war. While not yet out of the
woods, and generally admitted, it is still
n case Of skating on thin ice, there is a
growing belief in banking circles the
worst OF the crisis has passed. In all
events, the situation is much better in
hand Everybody understands the real
state Of affairs everybody knows what
they must do. 1t may be disagreeable
dose in some instances, but it is the
ONLY way of averting a bad smash up.

Hitchcock Men Accept
Challenge Of Bryan
(Continued From First Paxe.)

will be wholly iinmaterial to him.
Before any instruction is binding on
him, it will be necessary for him to
be elected as delegate to the San
Francisco convention. The demo-
Gratis of Nebraska arc not very much
in the llumor of sending a man as
a delegate who insolently tells them
in advance, that he will not be bound
by an instruction given. The prob
abilities are that Mr.. Bryan will be
sitting in the press gallery at San
Francisco just as he did in St.
Louis four years ago.
"In every emergency, Mr.. Bryan
always resorts to "Wall street in
fluence" as the reason for his con-
duct. This wall street" talk is
stale and Improbable. The public
records disclose that the immediate
members Of Mr.. Bryan's family got
very close to Wall street and to Mr..
Bryan in 1904. The Bryan family is
an authority on Wall street influ-
ence. They got nearer to Wall street
money and Wall street influence than
anyone else ever DID in Nebraska.
The seurrilous reference to Senator
Hitchcock does no credit to Mr..
Bryan and is beneath the dignity of
any man who assumes to speak in
theSname of others. Was Senator
Hitchcock a 'reactionary" and a
wall street tool" when he and his
great newspaper supported Mr..
Omaha daily bee., 1920-03-11

Bryan and his policies through three
presidential campaigns? Was SEN
ator Hitchcock a "reactionary" and
wall street tool'' when he sup
ported Mr.. Bryan for congress and
employed him as an editor on his
newspaper? Was Senator Hitch
cock "Wall street tool" and "re-
dictionary" 4 few weeks ago when
Brother Charley invited him to have
a seat on the Bryan delegation as
delegate TO the San Francisco con-
vention?
Absentee Dictator.
Senator Hitchcock's attitude has
been that of an honorable, upright
man. He took the position, person.
ally and with his newspaper, every
time that Bryan was candidate, that
Mr.. Bryan was entitled to have the
support Of this state and to have
men elected as delegates who were
friendly and interested in Mr..
Bryan's candidacy and who desired
to have him nominated.
The contrast between these two
men measures the difference be-
tween greatness and mediocrity. He
assumes that he is better than othe,
democrats. He claims to be sort
of super-democrat, different from the
ordinary man. Like the Pharisee of
old, he thanks the Lord that he is
not like other democrats. He claims
to be sort of 'holier than thou
citizen
"This last statement is but another
example of the Bryan brothers at
tempting to dictate to the democrats
of Nebraska from Mr.. Bryan's home
in Florida regarding the internal pol
icies of the state. This nonresident
who keeps a mythical residence in
Nebraska for political purposes only,
assumes the role of an absentee die
tator and with the pretensions of
Pharisee and the methods of a
Machievelli, undertakes to direct the
democrats of Nebraska and to bull
doze them into sending him as
delegate with permission to disre-
gard instructions given to him by
them.
Senator Hitchcock's friends well
come the issue. They will meet
Bryan in every precinct in Nebras-
ka. Senator Hitchcock is entitled
to fair treatment He is entitled to
have the wishes of the democrats OF
this state regarding instructions iii
his behalf respected not only by Mr..
Bryan but by every other man who
aspires to be delegate to the San
Francisco convention. If the prefer
ence vote in Nebraska is for Senator
Hitchcock, he is entitled to have q
set of delegates elected who are
friendly to him and interested in
helping him secure the nomination.
The question is whether the instruc-
tons of the democrats of Nebraska
or the wishes of a would-be dicta-
tor shall control the action of the
delegation from Nebraska in the San
Francisco convention"
Omaha daily bee., 1920-03-11

Paris, March l0-Andre Tardieu,
who was iaember of Frances del
egation III the peace conference,
said today regarding President
Wilson's letter to Senator Hitch
cock:
French public opinion will be in
accord with that of the government
that the reproaeh of imperialism
canno, apply to France. 1t is not
upon the peace treaty that such a
reproach can be based. The treaty
was judged and defined by Presi-
dent Wilson himself, in solidarity
with the heads OF the other govern
ments, in the response addressed by
them on June l6. 1919. to Count
Won Brokdorf-Rantzau, head of the
German peace delegation.
"That was a capital document"
said M. Tardieu, who continued:
But this is the situation:
"First-We asked that part of the
league OF nations create an organ
lied armed force as an essential
condition of disarmament in the
different countries.
Our proposition was rejected
three different times.
u. S. Promised Guarantee.
"Secoha The United States
promised us their guarantee in case
of unprovcked attack. as we'll by the
treaty OF Versailles as by the spe-
cial treaty between them and US,
and neither OF those treaties is rat
fled.
"Third-The treaty of Versailles
supposed upon the allied and asso-
ciated powers a certain number of
common military duties-occupa-
ton of the left bank of the Rhine,
Schleswig, Danzig, Memel, Alien
stein, Marienwender. Upper Silesia
and Teschen. Excepting a few thou
sand Americans on the Rhine, it is
French troops which everywhere
bear that charge alone, or nearly
alone. The treaty was to be exc
cuted by several. We are executing
it nearly alone.
France Called Upon.
"Eourth-The negotiations in
Paris had in view participation by
all the allied and associated powers
in the occupation of inundated ter
