LOWERING OF PRICES
AND WAGES EXPECTED
The Federal Reserve System Should
PNent Crisis Becoming
Panic

San Francisco, May PA period
of depression with lower prices and
wages may be expected as a result
of the initiation of the money mar
ket in the United States, F. l., Lip
man, vice president of the Wells
Fargo Nevada National bank. San
Francisco, told delegates at the ma
tlonal foreign trade convention here
today.
"lf this change comes suddenly he
said, it will bring about forced Equid-
alton and commercial failures But
the federal reserve system should pre-
vent such a crisis from degenerating
into panic" He added that 1T is
probable that the situation in the
money market is Fundamental ly
Sound.
Mr.. I.pman said he agreed with
economists that our exports can best
be stimulated through encouraging
imports
In its bearing on our foreign trade
the international financial situation
centers itself in the exchange rates
he said "The alterations in these
ARE mainly determined by the dep. e.
citation of an incontroyertible paper
circulated abr ad This argues the
importance of a country remaining on
la gold basis if at all possible. 1t also
suggests that the decentralization in
exchange can only be remedied
through the rehabilitation of currency
abroad and tina. this is necessarily a
domestic matter for the nation suffer
ing from such incontrovertible cur
lrency.'
Mr.. Lipman he'd that long time
icans from citizens of the United
States to Europe would give an i'm
mediate stimulus to our trade and
make 1T easier for Europe through
spreading the payments for needed
commodities over a longer period Of
thine.
But such loans could not be alb
s6rbed by your exporters nor by other
business men, but only by the invest
ling classes whose purchases Of Sc.
Icurities must be based upon safety
IanG marketability, not on any trade
considerations, he said. In order to
be marketed successfully foreign Sc.
curiuies would also have to compete
with a heavy domestic demand for
apictal. notably en- the part of our
railroads.
This seems to leave our foreign
trade in the position described sby
economists where our exports can
best be stimulated through encoWag-
ing imports"
In. discussing the financial situation
of the United States, Mr. Lipman con
cluded that 1T is probable that the
situation in the money market is
fundamentally sound in spite cf spec
.ulation here and there; and the un-
Sound feature, Liberty bonds carried
by banks. is only so in respect to sn.
nation not in respect of intrinsic
value, and therefore will be relieved
when and as liquidation of the bonds
takes place. Our trade, whether dom
este or foreign, need not fear an in

HARTNESS SAYS

Mr.. Hartness ntimates That the 9th

Want Him Out.

Burlington, May 19.-James Hart

nomination for the governorship who

the University of Vermont and at a
smoker of the student body, was seen
by a reporter and asked if there was
truth to the rumor that he intended

so emphatic denial that it recalls

attention many times Of late. There

pose to any candidate for office, but
as the rumor is without foundation it
should cease.

ness, that my plan is the only plan
that has been presented that will re-
lieve the people of the burdens that
now weight so heavily upon them. If
we continue in the old way it will be
to add to our burdens instead of to
lessen them. We must remove the
bondage of restricted opportunity and
place our people in position to ad-
vance. ! am convinced that the plan

pies desire and the older people S
hope. To withdraw from the contest
