DEAUN CATION OF THE

TOWARD IRELAND N AY
ASSUME NEW ASPE CTS

London. Oct. l3.-Denunclation of
the governments Irish policy by liber-
al forces of the country represented
by the recent statements Of Viscount
Grey, former Premier Asquith and
Viscount Morley. seems likely to
grow into q formidable movement.
The latest recruit is Lord Robert
Cecil, one of the most respected Of
the unionist leaders. who has joined
Viscount Grey In letter to the
press calling for an investigation by
constitutional tribunal as to
whether the government is response
BILE for the reprisals.
The letter begins by referring to
Premier Lloyd Georges Carnavon
speech, as assuming that the re-
prlsals have been confined to the
shooting by police OF those reasonably
suspected Of an intention to attack
them or who had been lncontrover-
tibly guilty Of the murder OF their
fellows. II proceeds:
THAT IL very incomplete account
OF the reprisals as reported In the
press. II Is alleged an apparently
overwhelming evidence that the armed
forces of the crown have for months
past systematically burned or de-
stroyed buildings and other property
In towns. villages and farms In Ire
land; that they have fired rifles and
thrown bombs ut random. killing and

women and children OF nll ages and
In all. conditions OF health In terror

"Thcse nets undoubtedly were COM
mitted In revenge for horrible outrages
pcrpetrated In the districts con.
ccrncd. but they have not been con
fined to the individuals who have
been guilty OF such outrages. On the
contrary. the victims have included
protcstants and Unlonists, who used
to be the bitter opponents OF the Sim
Fcln.
at Ia further alleged that the policy
which produced these results, wa'
sanctioned by ministers OF the crown
by the prime minister himself. These
are grave charges and require full
open and immediate investigation b,

Banks Have Co-operated

New York, Oct. Thames s. Alex
ander, president OF the National Bank
OF Commerce in New York, declared
that the banks had not failed to Co
operate with business men TO the
fullest extent In the present business
era II business men felt there had
been any such tendency on the part
Of banks it was due to q misconcep-
tion or a failure to give weight to
fundamental facts, he said.
Mr.. Alexander said he desired to
answer the charge made by the presi-
dent of the export association, that
the banks Cooperate readily with
business in times of prosperity, but
when hard times come they with
drew their assistance"
Mr. Alexander admitted that in the
past there had been some basis for
such an accusation but ne attributed
this 10 the fact that the banks were
not then organized so as to support
one another and each was compelled
| loans in times Of stress. Under the
| federal reserve system, however, MT
Alexander said this fundamental weak
ness In the American banking struc.
| ture had been corrected.
"The peak OF credit expansion must
soon pass" he predicted, but he fore
saw that there must be established
stable price levels. $50 that business
could be conducted on the basis OF
confident judgment, rather than o.
guess and speculation" There also
must be adequate production anC
credit should be conserved so tha
there would be ample funds for Ions
time investment for railroad buildine
and repair and for housing construc
tion."
Mr.. Alexander pointed to the danger
of seeking TO stimulate by artificia
measures the volume of American
foreign trade and said the bank
could not finance that trade on suci
a basis as to perpetuate over-expan
sion in domestic banking credits.
