HIGH MONEY TO
BRING PERIOD Of
DEPRESSION, FEAR
E. L. Lipman, Vice President of
Wells Fargo National Bank,
Believes Banks VIII Avert
Actual Panic.
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, May PA
period of depression with lower prices
and wages may be expected as a re-
suit of the initiation of the money
market in the United States, F. l..
Lipman, vice president of the Wells
Fargo Nevada National Bank, San
Francisco, told delegates to the Ma
tional Foreign Trade convention here
today.
"If this change comes suddenly" he
said, "it will bring about forced liqui-
daton and commercial failures. But
the Federal Reserve system should
prevent such crisis from degenera-
ting into panic"
Lipman said he agreed with econo-
mists that "our exports can best be
stimulated through encouraging i'm
ports"
"Tn it's bearing on our foreign trade
the international financial situation
centers itself in the exchange rates."
he said. "The abberrations in these
are mainly determined by the deprecia-
ton of an incontrovertible paper cir
culation abroad. This argues the i'm
portance of a country remaining on
gold basis if at all possible. 1t also
suggests that the decentralization IN
exchange can only be remedied thru
the rehabilitation of currency abroad
and that this is necessarily domestic
matter for the nation suffering from
such incontrovertible currency.
He held that long time loans from
citizens of the United States to Eu-
rope would give an immediate stimu-
lus to our trade and make it easier
for Europe through spreading the
payments for needed commodities
over a longer period of time.
| "But such loans could not be ab-
sorbed by our exporters nor by other
business men, but only by the invest
inp classes whose purchases of securi-
ties must be based upon safety and
marketability not on any trade con-
siderations. In order to be marketed
successfully foreign securities would
also have to compete with a heavy
domestic demand for capital, notably
,on the part Of our railroads.
. "This seems to leave our foreign
trade in the position described by
economists wheer our exports can best
be stimulated through encouraging
imports"
In discussing the financial situation
of the United States Lipman concluded
that 'it is probable that the situation
in the money market is fundamentally
sound in spite of speculation here and
there: and the unsound feature, Liber-
ty bonds carried by banks, is only so
in respect to initiation, not in respect
of instrinsic value, and will therefore
be relieved when and as liquidation of
the bonds takes place. Our trade,
whether domistic or foreign. need not
fear an inability to obtain necessary
bank accommodations"

CAMPAIGN OF
CURTA|L
At LOUISVILLE
NGuoy Endorses MOUe; Buy No
NeU Clothes, Shoes or Other
Wearing Apparel; Hope to
Enroll 200, 900!
(By Associated Press)

LOUISVILLE, May 12.--Leaders
of churches, and women's clubs and
social workers here are engaged in
a city-wide drive to induce residents
of Louisville to join in a campaign 20
cut down the cost of living by curtail-
ing reckless buying at high prices.
Thousands have already joined and
it is hoped eventually to enlist 100000
persons.
The movement was inaugurated by
Louisville club women. :I was en-
dorsed and given impetus by the
Presbyterian Minister'S Circle, the
Crescent Hill Fordward Club and the
Conference of Social Wor Ike s.
Churches have approved it and the
United Trades and Labor Assembly
and the Building Trades Council have
been asked to join in a permanent or
ganization.
1t is proposed to organize Cheaper
Living Committee to be composed of
representatives of many civic organ
izations.
Mayor George w. Smith has given
the movement semi-offlclaF en-
dorsement by announcing his adher-
ence and Mrs. Cmith has promised
that her household will be conducted
as near as possible along the lines OF
economy suggested by the promoters
of the idea.
The drive against reckless buying
is headed by the Rev. DR.. Charles W.
Welch, president of the Louisville
Ministerial Association, who is aided
by a committee including in it's mem
bership a Roman Catholic priest and
Jewish rabbi as well as representa-
tives of women's clubs.
"Buy no new clothing, shoes or
other wearing apparel" is the first
plank in the economy platform
"Wear what you have, no matter how
shabby or cut of STYLE" it continues
and adds: "Reduce the consumption
of meat in each household; abstain
from candy, soft drinks and other
confections; deposit money in the
bank and keep a record OF money
saved through practicing economies.
"If the people of Louisville will take
this movement seriously" SAID the
Rev. DR.. Welch, 1--WE actually car
force down prices here on the neces-
saries of life. Persons generally are
spending money like drunken sailors
labor, which should be producing es-
sentials, is devoted to non-essentla1is
This is not the time for overalls
except for working people. we DON,
want fads-what we do want IS a.
least 100000 Louisville people te
ioin this campaign. Let's make 1T
badge of honor to wear old clothes
carry lunches to the office, abstain
from sweets and buy nothing not ab
solutely needed. Then watch th'
prices drop"

CROWN JEWELS NOW
BACK IN THE TOWER

LONDON, May 12.-The Grown
Jewels, which were removed to a
place of greater safety during a
recent succession of daring burglaries
about London, have now been return
ed to their accustomed place in the
Tower.
That fact is regarded as hardly like
ly to prompt anyone to try to steal
them, but it is somewhat remarkable
that Colonel Blood's attempt on the
regalia in 1911, recalled by this Incl
dent, should be the only one on record
He did not, of rourse, succeed in his
enterprise, but Charles II was so i'm
pressed by his daring that he pardoned
Blood and gave him an appointment
in his household and an estate in
County Clare which was held by his
family for over 200 years.

Auto Dealers
Must Keep Cars
Off Main Street

Chief of Police Dave Matlock spent
this morning going up and down Main
and adjacent streets and ordering all
automobile dealers to take their cars
which were parked in front of motor
establishments off the streets.
Chief Matlock states that at times
these cars are parked for hours with
a "for sale" sign and that inasmuch
as other merchants are not allowed to
use the streets to display their wares
the auto dealers will have to conform
to this rule.
One or two were arrested and fined
for fragrant violations of the parking
ordinance.
