Blamed for "Frozen Credits" by
Rep. McF adden-Says Banks

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The Fed
eral Reserve Board and banking
system, to serve the best interests
OF this country, should be wholly In
dependent of the United States
Treasury and its policies, Congress
man Louis T. McFsdden, chairman OF
the House Banking and Currency
Committee. declared here yesterday.

Addressing a convention tof busi-
ness men. Congressman MeFadden
asserted that the, Federal Reserve
Board had been dominated BY the
Treasury DEPARTING whose poli-
oiee. which were adopted, are large
ly responsible for the frozen credit
and extended Federal reserve note
issue at this time" which is ham
pering business. -....
"The problem before the country
is to recover as rapidly as possible
from the mistaken policy Of the
Treasury Department in financing
the war" he said, asserting Liberty
bonds were floaSd at too low an
interest rate and credits for their
purchase extended too lavishly.
Frozen war credits must be re-
moved from the banking system. he
stated. while the floating debt
hould be removed from the sup
posed liquid channels Of finance" by
refunding operation extending
over q long period Of time.
Congressman McFadden said he
proposed introducing a bill amending
the Federal reserve act by removing
the Secretary of the Treasury and
tho Comptroller of the Currency
from membership on the reserve
board, and increasing the appointive
members to seven, who would elect
their own chairman. each serving
seven years and not to be subject
to any Presidential within. He said
there should be suitable Federal re
serve Offices and realty In Washing
ton, costing not over S2,000,000. to
member banks. All conflicting con-
troll between tho United States
Treasury and comptroller depart
ments and the Federal Board, over
national banks, should be remedied
he said, by making the Federal Re-
serve Board the dominating, influ-
ence.

been offered to investors at a: market
rate. "instead of being al
lowed to consume, such large part
of the banking resources of the ma
ton" This reacted on business
credits. ne said.
Commenting upon, the Liberty Bond
issues, he said their present deprecia-
ton was due to their .iotation at ar.
tincially low interest rates.
"Ha dthe entire bonded indebted
ness OF the United states been re.
funded during the past two years."
he said, "in a serial bond on a nifty
year basis. no such depreciation in
the value of the war paper would
have taken place, and the bonds,
which have so greatly congested tn,
entire banking system as a frozen
credit, would have been removed"

The appearance of the name of
Woodrow Wilson on the official ballot
Of the Georgia primary after petition
had been filed for having it placed
thereon may be taken to be the first
public intimation that Wilson intends
10 retire from the presidency at the
rlose of his present term. OF course,
this is not conclusive evidence that he
will not be a candidate. The situation
might develop at the Democratic ma
lional convention in the weakness Of
candidates or in a deadlock whereby
the party might fall back upon its
standard bearer Of two campaigns
providing there was any good evidence
that Wilson would be able TO carry on
he duties Of president Therefore, it
nay be put down as a fact that Wilson

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR
Advises Adherence to Standard Time

Editor, Times: In looking over The
Times of March 81, / noticed that
many granite manufacturers and work
men are in favor of the daylight saw
ing plan of going to work one hour
earlier in the morning and leave the
clocks at standard time
Please let me say a word about how
this turned out here in some cities.
The stores and factories and working
shops tried this plan and had to 90
back on standard time again this morn
ing, after a week of confusion to the
people. The N. u, n. II. & H. railroad
refused to shift its time and as re-
suit the working people who had to use
this means of travel were late for
work
/ think the people of Vermont would
better stay by the standard time as
usual and save lots of confusion to
working people and housewives also,

that the contest in the convention is
likely to run into several ballots at
least. And if the contest is long drawn
out there are chances for great devel-
opments. One of those chances is the
upbunding of the support for Herbert
Hoover, a man who gives evidence OF
being strong with the people, and who
would, therefore, be natural choice of
tie Republican party as standard bear
err The splendid vote given Hoover in
the Michigan primary is good proof of
his vote getting capacity, inasmuch as
he entered the campaign late and even
then was handicapped by having his
name on two tickets, the Democratic,
as well as the Republican, through no
fault of his own. If the popular senti-
ment in favor of Hoover continues to
develop as it has grown during the last
two weeks the former food administra-
tor will be bound to be very powerful
factor in the Chicago convention even
though he may not have great num-
Der of pledged delegates at the outset.
II is conceded that Wood has the great
est number of instructed delegates
thus far, but every setback such as
that in Michigan in which johnson won
is likely to react in favor of Hoover,
it being quite generally conceded that
johnson has little chance of securing
the nomination.

official source in Rome that the Italian
government was reluctantly forced to

ment of the Fiume dispute had an ad-
dendum which, unfortunately, came
some time after the first announce
ment. The Fiume question is not set
tied yet, either according to the Wilson
plan or any other plan. We shall have
to receive these inspired announce
ments from European capitals with a
measure of reserve lest we be led
astray in our conclusions. This does
not apply merely to the announcements

While the offense was particularly
fragrant, it seems almost too strong a
sentence to send seven men to prison
for not less than quarter of century
and not more than 40 years for the
murder Of a parsder in the armistice
day celebration at Centralia, Wash, on
Nov. IL, l"ls. All seven were not d.
rectly guilty of the killing of the pa
raider, it would seem, although the
others might have been accessories in
the crime; and if they were accessories
rather than principal in the particular
crime charged they should. have been
sentenced according to the offense-the
long term for the principal and lesser
terms for the accessories, providing it
we're possible to differentiate.

The generous heart of the people of
the United States is being revealed in
the large contributions being made for
relief of the suffering people of the
city of Vienna and of other parts of
Austria. When the story of the war is
written this generosity to the people
of nation which was arrayed against
the United States in the World war
ought to have important consideration.
The display of good feeling is evidence
enough that the United States did not
go into the war with any sinister mo-
tives.

Funeral Here of Hiram ]. Brown, Who
Committed Suicide in Portland, Me.

Committed Suicide in Portland, Me.
The funeral of Hiram j. Brown was
held on Friday afternoon. April 2, at
the Sawyer Memorial chapel at Brad
ford. The body arrived on the Thurs
day night train, accompanied by his
father, Arthur H. Brown, from Port
land, Me-, where they had both been
working for the past year. Hiram was
employed in livery stable and his
lifeless body was discovered in the
early hours of the morning of Tuesday,
March 80, being a victim of suicide.
The deceased was born in Bradford,
April -, 1895, the second SON of Ar
thur II. and Ada Davis Brown. His
mother died when he was a small boy
and he, with his older brother, Ed
ward, was taken into the family of
his grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
B. Brown, at East Corinth, and reared
to manhood. He is survived by his
father and a second stepmother; his
brother, Edward, and wife, who reside
on the old home farm at East Corinth,
and his grandfather, E. B. Brown, who
is 50 years old. No cause has been
assigned for the rash deed. He was a
very quiet, unassuming young man and
his employers always spoke highly of
his labor. The bearers were his school
mates, Henry Metcalf, Leo Hutchinson,
Winn Taplin and Earl Carter. The
travelling was so very bad from Cor
NTH to Bradford that it deferred many
from attending who would otherwise
have been present Burial in the fam

ANOTHER REVOLT IN
RUSSIAN PROVINCE
Peasants in Western Siberia Rebel
Against the Soviets-Take
Several Towns.

Hardin, Aug. 30.-Western Siberian
peasants have overthrow the soviets
at Tomsk. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Omsk,
Barnaui and other important towns, 1t
is reported here from reliable sources.
Isolated peasant uprisings which
have been In progress since spring APP
peared to have eliminated in a gen
erai insurrection. This was led by an
uprising of the kirghiz tribesmen,
which followed the withdrawal of the
boishevik troops, presumably for the
Polish front.
The tribeSmen were joined by Cos
sacks and detachments Of anti-boishe-
vlk troops, which furnished them COM
petent leadership. This force marched
on the more important centers, but
found them already in the hands of in
surgents.
Two thousand Russian officers re-
leased from bolshevik prisons also are
said TO have Joined the new anti-bol-
shevik forces.
The inSurgent movement is reported
to be spreading. Outbreaks are already
frequent in the far East, where it is ex-
pected the soviet regime will soon fall.
Eastern Siberian authorities are
daZed by the suddenness of the new
Developments. The main support of
the uprising appears to come from the
mujik farmers Of the provinces of Al
tai, TOmsk. robolsk, Semipalatinsk
and AEmOlinsk which are the richest
farming districts of Siberia.
