WILSON'S VETO BLOCKS
PEACE WITH GERlMAINY

Wilson bitterly condemned the res

about the purposes for which America

these, freedom Of the sea, reduction OF
armaments, vndication of the rights
Of Belgium, the righting OF wrongs to
France release of Christians under
Turkish rule and Polish Outrages.
''Such a peace with Germany
interests which we had at heart when
we entered the war is safeguarded-

IN MISSISSIPPI
States 306 Institutions in
Last Six Months Show an
Increase in Resources Of
More Than $81 100000.

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 13.-Three
hunderd and six banks in Mississippi
in the last six months showed an in
crease in resources of more than $751;
100000, an increase in deposits Of S69,-
10000. according to the combined
statement made TO the board Of bank
examiners on Dec. 81, 1919, which has
just been compiled.
OF the 500 900 600 increase in deposits
SIS, 500, 900 accumulated in less than a
month and a half before Dec. 81. The
total resources of all classes in excess
of SlS7,500, 900, In the opinion Of +. F.
Anderson, state bank examiner, who
has made a careful study of the COM
bined statement Of Mississippi banks,
these figures show q development Of
the banking power of the state which
is nothing short of remarkable.
The total resources of the state
banks on Dec. 81, 1914, when the state
banking department was formed. ac-
cording to Mr. Anderson, was little in
excess of $64, 600, 900. Compared with
the $225, 100000 resources of last Dec.
81, 1t represents a gain of 144 per cent.
The increase in assets alone for the
last half of 1919, Mr.. Anderson explains,
is 81, 100000 more than the total re-
sources Of Dec. 81, 1914 the percentage
Of gain the last five years being about
1852 per cent.
In his last report Of the condition OF
the national banks as Of Nov. II, 1919,
the state comptroller showed that in
the past 20 years the increase in ma
tional hank resources in some sections
of the country, was over 1000 per cent.
The state banks within the same pc
riod, Mr.. Anderson estimates, showed
an increase in resources If more than
1,161 per cent and in deposits of more
than 1900 per cent.
The total resources as Of June 30,
1900, Mr.. Anderson said, we're slightly
over $4,000, 900, deposits S12. 500 900, and
loans S13,200000. In the IA years from
this time" or on Dec. 49, 1914, eight
months after the passage of the Hbank-
ing act, Mr.. Anderson continued "to-
tai resources stood at S64 900 900. de-
posit3 at $4,000, 900 and loans at $41,
100000. 1t is readily seen that In the
Ii years resources showed an advance
of little in excess of $4,000, O00 Dur
ing this period deposits showed an ad-
vance of only $32 1000, 900. The average
increase fer each year of the IA, for
resources, was about $4,000 900, for de-
posits $2,500000
THE growth of the banking power
for the past six months make all other
comparisons fade into insignificance.

taken as of permanent character, Mis-

Californian at U. S.-MexiCan
Conference Says This Would
Prove Saving Of Financial
Crush to World at Present.

MEXICO CITY, Feb l3.-Consolida-
ton of the war debts Of all nations
involved in the world conflict as well
as outstanding trade balances which
would provide International obligations
guaranteed by all powers involved, was
advocated by John II. Arnold, of San
Francisco, speaking before tine United
States Mexican trade conference here
yesterday Mr.. Arnold, who is rep
iesentative of the American Bankers
association, urged that an international
clearing house be established as an
adjunct to his plan.
He declared an international bankers'
conference should be called immediate
ly and that manufacturers and COM
merclal men of all nations be invited to
send representatives He said such a
conference should provide measures for
standardizing currency and for the
elimination of exchange fluctuations
which would result in the restoration
of confidence.
A spirited discussion followed Mr..
Arnolds address, resulting in the adop-
tion of motion for the appointment
or a committee to draft an Endorsement
OF the speakers suggestions to be pre-
scented before the conference on Friday.
THE United States today stands in
sad and undesirable position, being
the worlds greatest creditor with her
customers bankrupt" declared Mr.. Ar
mold. There is no question that all
nations owning war debts will event.
ually be able to pay, with the exception
OF Germany, which can not pay In full
and must have her indemnity obliga-
tions reduced. The big question at
present Is establishment of conf
dence and the equalizing Of exchange
fluctuations, AS the worlds leading
creditor the United States must do the
logical thing and call a creditors meet
ing, receive and analyze debtors state
ments, extend new credits and give
time and even reduce debts If neces-
sary. An immediate meeting of bank
ers throughout the world should be
held to study the resources and liabili-
ties of all nations concerned.
Il have reason to believe If the Unit
ed States should take the first step,
England would follow after which other
nations would fall in line. Each ma
ton under this proposed system would
assume an in 1ividual share of the debt
under taxing system which would be
supervised by IAN international COM
mission.
In addition, I believe the United
States federal reserve system should
be, internationalized under which the
federal reserve bank could serve the
United States, the Bank of England
could operate for Great Britain, the
Bank OF France could work for France,
and the Reichsbank for Germany,
Mr.. Arnold predicted that unless ac-
ton was taken Immediately to restore
public confidence the world would be
ruled by anarchy"
