SYSTEM PROVES WORTH

A note of optimism concerning the
financial condition Of the country was
struck last night by W. P. @. Harding.
governor of the Federal Reserve
Board, in an address before group
of representative business men who
attended a testimonial dinner In honor
of Franklin d. Roosevelt, former As
sistant Secretary of the Navy. at Del
monico's.
Mr.. Harding expressed the belief
that the worst in the country un-
doubtedly is over and there no longer
is danger Of collapse. Externally. for
the restoration of our foreign trade
the establishment OF actual peace is
the one outstanding requisite. He de-
MED that the Federal Reserve banks
had discriminated against the agri-
cultural interests of the country, citing
figures to clinch his argument, and
declared that the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn is now In position adequately to
cope with future developments.
II think that we can in taking in
ventory Of our present situation con-
graduate ourselves upon two things" he
said Zone Is that the country generally
has recovered to its normal state. We
are no longer afraid. we are not indulg-
ing In the old idea of extravaganza. or
living beyond our means Nor are we
troubled so much as we were a few
weeks ago with that other extreme of
overpessimism where people get down
in the tombs and they cannot see day
light. cannot see any hope, see nothing
but gloom and darkness. Now that
situation Is as bad as the other. They
are both abnormal conditions of mind
and we can congratulate ourselves gen.
orally that the country has reached
more normal state of mind, and the main
thing is for us to maintain that normal
state OF mind. II you please.
''I am thoroughly convinced that any
danger which may have existed of a
general collapse have never thought
that danger was as imminent as a great
many people have thought II was-has
passed. I think undoubtedly that the
worst is over"
The New York herald., 1921-01-08
How Reserve system Won.

After reviewing In detail the early OPP
Grafton of the Federal Reserve system
under the pressure of war expansion,
Mr.. Harding chose the signing OF the
armistice as significant point in the
operation of the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN. He spoke In part as follows:
After the arrnistice. as you all know.
there was a period of hesitation for three
or four months. The Government of the
United States had large unascertained
liabilities at that time. Our country
had gone into the war with the unalter-
able determination to win. regardless Of
cost. and had made very elaborate prep
arations.
The armistice came at a much earlier
date than had been anticipated. except
for few weeks prior to its consumma-
tion. While hostiitles ended on the 11th
OF November. 1918, the war in a finan-
cial sense was not over for several
months thereafter. Our troops had to be
brought back to the United States and
be dlsbanded. supplies had to be gotten
together and disposed Of and the various
unfunded debts had to be ascertained
and arranged. SO that the war could not
have been said to be terminated In a
financial sense until after the flotatior
OF the Victory Loan in May. 1918.
Following the hotation OF the VIC

production of goods had been restricted
during the war to those articles neces-

there was very great world shortage
of many articles OF ordinary CONNER

country.
After our factories resumed their

their products TO provide for the exist

His work was broader than his pas

city Of which he was DISTINGUISHED
and hard working citizen"
Edwin Markham said:
we are not permitted to think Of

another realm to join in the great
service Of friendship and of brother
hood. He will serve there as he
served here"
DR.. Smyth was president of the gen

vi. ID. Berlitz Dies:
Originated Way of
Teaching Languages
Decorated by Spain and
France for Discovery Bor2,
Of Struggle With English
as immigrant in L. S.

Man imilian D. Berlitz, originator of
the Berlitz system of teaching Ian
guages, died suddenly yesterday in his
sixty ninth year at his home. 263
Edgecomb Avenue, the Bronx.
Mr.. Berlitz was born in Germany
on April IA. 1852 He had hardly
mastered his mother tongue when his
parents and three other children emf
grated to this country. Young Max
milan was sent to the public schools
IN Boston, and it was while struggling
with the task of getting his lessons in
English that the idea which later
revolutionized the method of teaching
foreign languages in many Of the
schools Of Ghis country and most Of
those on the Continent came to him.
The principle which Mr.. Berlitz
evolved was to eliminate entirely from
the conversation and. az far as pos
sible, from the thought Of the pupil
his native language. 1t WIS something
OF this situation in which Macmillan
found himself when he attended the
public schools of Boston.
He opened his first school for the
teaching of foreign languages in Prov
dence in 1878. The second was opened
IN Washington two years later To-day
there are three hundred of them IN
different parts of this country and in
Europe.
Mr.. Berlitz came to be recognized
as one Of the leading authorities on
languages in Europe. His extraor-
binary services as an educator were
recognized by the governments Of
Spain and France. He was made ar
Officer de Ia Legion d'Honneur, an
Officer d'Academie Francois and Co
mendador de Ia Ordeur Civil de Alfonso
XII Of Spain.
He was married to Lilly r. Ebert.
OF North Adams, Mass, in 1872. He is
survived by daughter. Mrs Charles
Srambact, and three grandchildren.
