OFFICIAL review
OF u. S. FINANCES
No Justification for Spirit OF Pes
Simlsm In Certain
Circles.
FINANCIAL SITUATION GOOD
Comptroller Of the Currency John
Shelton Williams Issues Highly OPP
tlmIstio Report Of Conditions In
the United Statea.

Washington, Aug 2.-"There Is alb
solutely no justification for the spirit
of pessimism and uneasiness prevalent
In business and financial circles In
many sections Of the United States
today"
This was the declaration Of Comp
troller Of the Currency, John Shelton
Williams, in a highly optimistic re-
view Of the financial situation as
shown by official reports from all ma
tional banks On the call of June 80.
''The action Of the federal reserve
banks in restricting extension Of cred
it for unessentials and luxuries and In
encouraging increased production OF
commodities most needed" the comp
troller's statement continues, "has
been distinctly beneficial and has, II
Is believed, been q material influence
in reducing the high cost Of living fa1
and wide.
Although the application Of the
brakes seems to have had a jarrine
effect upon some nervous systems, and
has occasioned unfounded fears of g
money panic and commercial crisis
there are in our country, abundant
reasons for confidence and encourag
ment as to the future"
In about two-thirds of the reserve
and central reserve cities there has
been a distinct tendency towards liq
uidation and reduction in bank loans
Comptroller Williams states.
"The reduction in loans has natural
ly been accompanied by a decline in
deposits" it is explained, 'but the az
gregate of bank resources at this time
is still at high level, and the nation.
al banks of the country are in par.
tcularly strong and well-fortified DO
sition."

The reason for the unusual call for
the services of Hoffman island is said
to be a misunderstanding on the part
of Italian officials and steamship

Who Won Moral Victory?

One faction at the San Francisco
convention announced it lad won
moral victory by keeping a wet plank
out of the platform. Another faction
was positive it had won moral vic
tory by killing proposed dry plank.
So once more a moral victory was

good sense would regard as a plain
defeat. The only result of the battle
is that William Jennings Bryan and
w. Bourke Cochran must feel like
winking at each other as they go by.

Manila very seasick, because of ty-
phoons that wrought havoc in parts of
the islands. The visitors were just
in time for the raising of a red flag
