Situation Better
MIR. Craig Thinks
State Bank Examiner Says
Worst Now Over-Three
a. Failures in Year

Columbia. March 1S.-'There new
cr was a time I'm the history of South
Carolina when there was greater
need for the solid business men of
the state To keep their heads, look
ahead with optimism and help each
other than at present" said State
Bank Examiner James III. Craig. IL
folks will only keep their heads level
and work together the financial situa-
tion will readjust itself, is his firm
conviction. Other and neighboring
states have within the past few
months had scores Of bank failures.
and perhaps no state has had fewer
failures than South Carolina. Condi-
tons In this state have been largely
the same as In other cotton growing
states.
Mr.. Craig thinks tho worst is now
OYER. As the banks and people have
an appreciation of real conditions and
that prospect borrowers appreciate
that when some banks advise that
they are not making new loans tha,
does not mean trouble. MIR. Craig
thinks tho reimbursement Is in sight
and has great hopes of the under-
taking that Governor Cooper and
fcrinor Governor Manning have in
mind with Mr.. Baruch to bring new
money Into the state on a strictly
Dusincss basis.
Mr.. trrug has been i'm the bank cx-
Aniincr's department for seven years
hrst US assistant and now for three
years In actual charge. Dcflation. "a,
" IN called. came all of u sudden and
iaf
deftakirg has been to keep things IN
good shape. The record of only three
failures I'm years time, i'm these
times. Is the highest test of results.
The most effective work of Mr.. Craig
has been In nursing back to real life
and usefulness sick chickens. Some
time this sickness has been imag-
inary-stage fright, so to speak-but
afscr II has been by persuasion OF
even coercion that he has made some
ohicials realize their obligations and
rchabilitate the banks. In some few
instances consultations or community
bank help has been used, but always
the central idea has been to keep the
banks going. serve the communities
ana work things out. In only one
bank In tho state during the past year
0oes Mr. Craig think the depositors
viii actually lose deposits. and witk
three hundred active and going state
tanks. In these days OF "dehation,'
that means much. What it means
more than anything else, perhaps, is
careful nursing and the extension OF
/. optimism, because unless there be
crookedness the banks of South Caro-
iina, national as well as state, are in
good shape. The state banks now
have actual resources of about two
hundred million dollars. This does not
include the large national banking in
stitutions.
= Mr. Craig visits every mart of the
state and he Is satisfied there is q
better understanding Of real condi-
tons and that things will mcve alon
more normally because of this real
isation that there has got to be a
spirit OF federation and cooperation.
With fresh money coming into the
state with which to finance cotton
and close sailing Mr.. Craig secs no
reason why conditions should not ac-
tuaily improve.

ORDERS ISSUED
TO PANAMA
United States Demands That
White Award BE Accepted

Washington, March 17.--Firm in
comply with the provisions of the
White arbitral award i'm settling it's
boundary disputes with Costa Rica
WAS made by the United States in
the note dispatched 10 Panama by
Secretary Hughes early this week,
the text of which was made public
here today.
Provisions of the treaty under
which Panama and Costa Rica agreed
To submit to the arbitration of Chief
Justice White their disputed bound
AIRY on the Atlantic side Of the Cordil-
lcras were cited by this government
in support of It's contention that the
jurisdiction of he arbiter had not
been exceeded in the award as claim
ed by Panama in its recent note
to the state department.
The United States government fur
thcr insisted upon the observance
by Panama of the previous award on
the Pacific side made by President
Loubet of the French republic in
1900 and which it declared was "un-
1quiVocaliy accepted" by both Pana-
ma and Costa RIca in the Porras-
Anderson treaty of 1910, the same
convention in which the Atlantic
boundary was submitted to .re-arbi-
tration by the American chief JUS
tice.
Notwithstanding this fact" the
note stated, the government of PAN
ANA apparently has taken no steps
to fuldll its obligations To recognize
the territory on the Costa Rican side
OF that line as subject TO the juris-
diction Of the government of Costa
Itica but has continued to exercise
| jurisdiction over the territory beyond
! that Enc until the present time"
in order that the boundary line
! laid down by Chief Justice White
may be definitely marked physically
| and in permanent manner in accord
ance with lignding of the award" the
American government urged that
| Panama arrange with Costa Rica
| without delay for the appointment

ont this work, as provided for by
th" terms of Article VII of the Por-
raS-AuderSon treaty.
