FARMER TREASURY AID
TO HELP CUBAN BANKS

Albert Rathbone, formerly assist
ant secretary of the Treasury, It was
learned yesterday, has virtually
been decided upon as financial ad-
wiser to Cuba. Rathbone, is under
stood to be acceptable to the Presi-
dent of Cuba and has the indorse-
ment of American financial inter-
ests. as a man eminently fitted to
assist the Cuban government in the
serious difficulty brought about by
the drop in the sugar market,
The financial institutions of the
island, it Is explaine, were affected
by inability to control sales of past
sugar crops after the market had
collapsed. The consequence has been
that sugar has been exploited to
the detriment of the planters and
the bankers. who took collateral at
the high prices. To date, however,
no embargo has been placed on the
export of sugar. The financial rem
edies already suggested to meet the
situation are as follows:
Extension of the moratorium, now
in operation, until the Cuban Con-
Tress can pass appropriate legisla-
tion.
Establishment of a clearing house
and the issuance of clearing house
certificates.
The moratorium, promulgated in
October. expires December 1. BY 1t
sweeping terms, 1t permits with
drawal FROM banks of only 10 per
cent of the total checking accounts
of depositors. in addition to embar-
assing measures that completely up
set normal transactions.
