GERMANY,s GREAT PROBLEMS.

Even though the complicated Polish

the great problems with which Ger
many must hght, precludes any conf
dent calculation a. to how her money
will huctuate.
It is recognized that the temptation
to get into the market in the case OF
German marks IL very great, when
we see them advancing from a low OF
! cent or 100 to the dollar In the place
of the normal value in American
money Of 23.8 cents. to around cents
Investors. however. should remem-
Der that so long as the present gov

recognized the currency of Germany
will rise or fall as economic condi-

prove to any great extent until Ger

DOESN'T THINK BOSTON
MUCH FOR ITS BRAINS

There is a certain unconvention-
ality to the thoughts of That's Law
ton, who will be seen at the Belasco
this week In Edward Delaney Dunn's
new play. based on the recent Elwayy
murder case OF New York. entitled
Mystery" Lately she attacked with
great success two OF the pet theories
OF this generation
First of Boston, where. according to
the modern legend all Of the oracles
have taken up their abode. Miss Law
ton has no such high estimate of the
critical faculty of Boston audiences
her own experience, she said. with
Boston audiences and good repertory
placed these audiences below Wash
ington in the critical scale. Boston
papers, please copy.
The second bit OF unconventionality
came anent the eternal belief that
those who are close to q given object
are unable to Judge of it's true value.
that the true critic gazes from afar to
obtain the only worth while opinion.
But. AYERS Miss Lawton, the actor or
actress is never so much subject to
the blindness of craft as to be un-
able to distinguish the value of plays
as' vehicles. The very nature OF the
profession. she went on to say, made
1t necessary for the actor to keep in
touch with life. In the sense that
the actor became q creative artist
only through the work OF the drama
tist, 1t was naturally. in the hands OF
the dramatist to make or break the
stage artist.
Good parts make good actors" de-
clared Miss Lawton. VERY often
excellent acting in an unnoticed
part goes unnoticed. while a good part
in the same play will give the oppor-
tunity to some actress for which she
has been waiting. We know only too
well the worth of a play or Of our,
parts in one: we do not always have
a great deal of choice"

DISCUSS POWER Of
FEDERAL SYSTEM
Business Deeply Interested In
Owens Statement on Credit
Move OF Reserve Banks.
~ wHLIAn n. CONRAD.

Business throughout the country 10
busy discussing the recent statement
OF Senator Robert l. Owen, of Okla
homa, that the power of that credit
system In the hands OF the Federal
Reserve Banks "is now being en-
ployed. not for the purpose OF stabil-
izins credit. but for the astounding
purpose OF debating credits, break
ing down confidence, and IL 10 bring
ing on an Industrial depression that
may be extremely harmful unless
promptly checked"
Continuing Senator Owen, who IL
writing In the Manufscturers Record,
declares ''the banks cannot be relied
upon to take the Initiative because
they are under the dominance OF tine
Reserve banks and the Reserve Board
and they would put themselves In
jeopardy IL they should dare to aSsail
the policy OF the Reserve Board"

father OF the Federal Reserve system,
who points out that the act creating
the system. was framed by the best
opinion OF America. "for the purpose
OF giving stability to the credit

reasonable and stable rate Of inter

country. 1t 10 declared. would pro-
test IL II were not for the autocratic
power of the Federal Reserve Board.
Senator Owen. II 10 averred. has
done a great public service in stating
the matter so strongly. backed by his
official position and knowledge. and
now the question Is being asked, will
he go further and work for the
changes needed In the Federal reserve
act. to safeguard the country. As
vigorously as he worked to create
that financial system.
sPECULATING IN GERMAN MARKS.
With the news that brokers who
have found business In the usual lines
quiet. have not been slow to turn to
the foreign Issues believing in the
motto Of giving the public what 1t
wants, financial leaders in some sec
tions. are poining out that the situa-
tion Is so uncertain that small In
vestors should limit commitments, es-
pecially in German marks.
Until the United States declares
peace. and its bankers and business
men can negotiate loans and provide
raw materials, Germany will be un-
able to demonstrate Just what she
will or can do. OF course, in the

MORE DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION

A more workable and democratic
association is the aim OF the COM
mittee on constitutional revision. in
the draft Of the revised American
Bankers Association constitution,
which is being mailed to executive
council members this week. This
committee. headed by M. A Traylor,
of Chicago, has been one of the most
active OF the present administration,
and after weeks of assimilating the
hundreds of suggestions which Pres
ident r. s. Hawes requested members
to submit. have evolved In printed
form an instrument that 1t is pre-
dicted will add greatly to the effec-
tiveness Of the association
The revised constitution. . move

Hawes to make the A. b. A. a more
effective working organization. will
come up for adoption at the conven-
tion to be held here from October
IS to %.
One Of the principal democratizing
clauses 10 the one providing for a
referendum of either the executive
council. the administrative commit
tee or OF the entire membership of
the association for determining the
associations policy on questions of
moment, at any time during the year.

IDEA IN REVISION.

The entire idea in revision IL
contained in the foreword to the
printed draft which says:
If we may make comparison with
the National or State Government the
revision is drawn on the theory that
the general convention represents
the people, wherein the Initiative ard
ultimate power rests, and that the
executive council is the legislative
body which makes and changes the
laws from time to time in the admir-
istration Of the affairs of the body
polite"
Under the proposed changes, the

greatly amplifed. He is made the
