MORATORIUM NOW
|NEFFECT IN CUBA
Blame for Financial Crisis
Placed on Exaggerated
Estimates" Of Conditions
DECREE IS MADE ELASTIC
BY the Associated Press

Havana, Oct. 11.-Blame for the
Cuban financial crisis was placed on
exaggerated estimates" of banking
conditions in the decree issued last night
proclaiming a moratorium. Under the
decree the government reserves the right
to declare off the moratorium, which
will expire legally on December 1. or to
extend the period, II deemed advisable.
Present conditions in Cuba are said
by the decree to be due in large part to
the mass Of business transacted during
a state Of prosperity, the tightness of
foreign markets and the fall in the price
of sugar. The amount of current de-
posits in Cuban banks is estimated at
more than S400 900 900, and the assets,
including stocks, bonds. sugar and other
credits, at more than 81 .O00, 900 200.
During the moratorium period de-
positors may demand only 10 per cent
in current accounts and II per cent on
savings deposits Of less than $1,000.
Creditors, however, may check against
their accounts to cover payment of Gus
toms duties, taxes and other state and
municipal requirements, which checks
shall be cashed within twenty four
hours after issuance.
The moratorium does not affect the
obligations Of the National Bank Of
Cuba as government. fiscal agent and
depository. Officials Of this bank, which
met all demands of depositors during
the 'run yesterday. today reiterated
their statements that that institution Is
perfectly solvent and that all its loans
on sugar are protected. in addition to
the sugar itself, by the property Of
those TO whom loans were made.

view Of the colossal rewards In sight
for oil producers, the feverish hunt for
new oil fields Is not to be wondered at.
Apparently no land Is too poor to be
overlooked and none too valuable to be
drilled.
Hughes and der Fundamentally.
practically all our prosperity rests on
products Of mother earth, and as we
can expect that crops Of all kinds will
total in money value this year not less
than $50, ,0O0, ,000, 600, there Is certainly
an underlying force behind the market
for our securities which should exert
sufficient pressure to carry them into
greater demand and higher levels Of
prices. The bear element has had It's
revel in hammering down prices, carry
ing them in many cases to levels far
below the actual intrinsic value of the
stocks quoted, therefore. every indica-
tion points to the fact that good issues
should be secured while they are selling
on basis where the investment returns
are very large, and that the speculative
issues are at level Of price where pur-
ehases made now can be expected TO i'm
prove in market value to a good many
per cent above their present cost.
II. r. Bachman & Co.-Every imag-
Unable bearish argument has been ex-
plotted and we cannot conceive of any
thing happening during the remainder
Of the reason which would justify u
price Of less than twenty cents for cot =
ton. Should prices be forced below
this figure we think it can only prove
temporary and believe the average price
at which this crop will be marketed
will be more above twenty cents than
below.

enhancement in prices. Foreign bonds
continue to meet with fairly good
sale, according to local bond men. Re-
ports received by local houses from their
representatives at the Boston conven-
tion are of a decidedly optimistic char
acter.
Much interest Is indicated in the ex-
pected announcement in regard to the
refunding of the Burlington joint As,
which come due next year and which
will be one Of the biggest private finan-
cial operations Of recent years.
The refunding Of these bonds presents
one Of the biggest problems Of the kind
in the history of railroad finance. BY
just what means these bonds will be re
funded Is creating an unusual amount
of interest and curiosity. II is ad-
mitted that, from a market standpoint,
the outlook Is better than O few months
ago for an operation Of this kind, but the
proposition will also come in competi- =
tion with the offerings Of many other
roads which are waiting only for the
right market conditions to dispose of
new securities.
The absorption of Liberty bonds has
been sufficiently broad to keep the mar
ket firm.
Brokers Are Optimistic
A distinct note Of optimism prevails
in the weekly letters which the banks
and investment houses are sending their
customers. Business Is picking up,"
they say, and there is much to inter-
est the trader and the investor. The
following extracts indicate the general
feeling In market circles.

moorings and starting toward its soon

and profit taking had evidently not
progressed sufficiently to justify the bid
ding up of money rates, which gives
rise to the hope that still further nd
vance in prices will be made.

Watson's Reasons For His
Victory.

Thomson, Ca, Sept, lo.-Point-
ing out that he had conducted his
campaign for the United States SEN
ate on a platform advocating un-
conditional rejection of the league
of nations and unconditional main
tenance OF American principles"
Thomas E. Watson in a statement
to The Associated Press today said
his victory in Wednesdays demo-
cratic primary proved the stand of
the majority of Georgia voters on
the issue.
Mr.. Watson declared his over
whelming victory was won against
the attempted dictatlon of officers
of the American Legion and for the
great English principles of free
speech, free press. free assemblage
and complete separation of church
and state.''
IF any money was spent in my
campaign" Mr.. Watson's statement
said, II do not know of it. OF
course, I paid my own travelling
expenses and for circulation of ex-
ira copies of my paper"
'sBLow TO PARTY"
Now York. Sent. IO,-The nom-
ination of Thomas E. Watson to
succeed Hoke Smith as United
otates senator from Georgia repre-.
scnts something of a blow to the
democratic party" George White,
chairman of the democratic national
committee, stated here today while
discussing the southern primary re-
suits.
"The fact that Watson has
been nominated in Georgia des-
pite his opposition to the league
of nations in any fem constl-
tutes a temporary loss to US" he
said.
"His nomination, i believe re.
suited not so much from his atti-
tude on any national question how
ever, as from the support accorded
him by large personal following.
It is my opinion that in Georgia
they nominated Watson, the man,
in the primaries. / do NOT be-
lieve the nomination expressed the
view of the Georgia electorate on
the league. I"
Mr.. White secuted the sugges-
tion, that Georgia might throw any
of the weight of her vote to the re-
publicans through any dislike of the
league of nations.

Asks Consumers to Help Far.
merS.

The complaints made about farm
labor have proved to be locking the
stable after the horse has been sto-
len. No amount of talking or wri-
ting will ever make corn and pota-
toes grow. Every farmers son, as
we'll as daughter, who has left the
farm will give reason for his or
her action. In most cases they
would fail if they were to return TO
the farm because they have lost the
vision. Their experience in the
city has made them mechanical and,
in many cases, slothful. They have
become consumers and are uncon-
scious of their dependence on agri-
cultural products, which are abso.
lutely necessary to hold the nations
together.
The strain of pioneer blood still
coursing through the veins of our
best farmers has sent forth an ap-
peal for help. The very sons and
daughters of these men have allow
ed their ears TO be deafened by the
haranging of capitalists and profit
eers. Rather than heed the call for
greater food production, they have
continued to follow the lines of the
least resistance, as they found them
in the cities. This has led to the
destruction of many agricultural
and economic principles set forth
by the builders Of our nation.
The spirit of 1920 is dying, and
with it the pride in possessing a
farm homestead has lost its mean
ing to the average American. In
many cases the farmer cannot Sc
cure help, financial or otherwise,
because he has lost interest in the
future welfare of American farms.
The successful managers form the
minority. Labor was cheap and
the soil rich when the man of forty
was boy. Now labor is scarce
and expensive, and the soil is de-
preciating in value. The problem
remains unsolved. What can We
do?
The boy or girl who has left
home will not return. The city.
bred man is too easily discouraged
successfully to farm; his farm is
abandoned. The fathers and moth
ers are fighting alone, and noble
fight they have made. The solu-

"A Strong Appeal to Democrats

The Democratic party sorely
needs funds to conduct the national
campaign, according to telegram
received today at the Dollar De
mocracy campaign from James w.
Gerard, national finance chairman
and former ambassador to Ger
many.
In his telegram to Joe Spar ks,
financial director Of the campaign
in South Carolina, Mr.. Gerard
says:
funds to conduct this campaign. 1t
Is without pledges which would en-
able it to borrow money. Never
in ita history has its financial con-
dition been so bad in the middle of
a presidential campaign. Please
do everything that you can to avert
actual disaster. On behalf of a
candidate who has been fighting a
remarkable fight, considering that
he has BEEN without arms or am
munition, I appeal to you for I'M
mediate md substantial aid. Please
convey this message to the South
Carolina Democracy and urge every
Democratic man and woman in the
State to come TO the aid of the par
ty in it's distress.
Every Democrat in South Caro-
lima is urged to respond to the ap-
peal of the national finance chair
man. Every Democrat is urged to
give as much as one dollar and
more if.they are able.
The campaign for funds for the
national Democratic party Is to be
pushed vigorously in South Caroli-
ma. The county chairmen have
been asked to form strong organi-
cations for the collection of money.
Ehe call is insistent and every good
Democrat in the State is urged to
get hack of the movement.
Committees are being formed in
many counties of the State to can
vass foi funds.

zion of the farm problem is not for
Them to fnd; they have run thei,
course. The responsibility rests
IN the shoulders of younger, broad
minded men and women, interested
agriculture. In hundreds of pri
vate and public institutions agri-
culture Is being taught. These in
,titutions are sending forth appeals
for men and women, and unless they
receive stronger support than mas
ever been given to farmers America
will fall behind.
No body of men has been more
loyal to the nation than farmers.
