MIDWEST
BANKERS IN
PLAIN TALK
They Tell Harding They Are
Dead Against Further
Financing OF Europe.

WASHINGTON. June 24-some ex-
tremely sharp differences Of opinion
and some Vain talk regarding the
foreign expansion policy OF the admin
istration. developed at the White House
last night at the dinner given by Pres
ident Harding to a group OF prominant
western and mid western bankers it
was learned today.
The " est or a considerable section Of
it is dead against any further etxen-
sive financing Of Europe either through
the flotation Of colossal international
loans or through the granting Of huge
trade credits. according to the views
expresse BY a number of the western
financial men.
This attitude on the part of the
uesterners is in marked contrast TO
that exhibited by the eastern financiers
and the international banking group
headed BY the Morgan and Rockefeller
interests. who were entertalnd at a
similar dinnr a the White House sew
eral weeks aEo at the eastern dinner
the president Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon and Secretary Of Commerce
Hoover who also acre guests were told
that 1t was to Americas S advantage 10
aid largely in the rehabilitation Of
Europe through the granting of loans
and expansion Of trade credits.
Last night however. il was a different
story that the president and Mellon
and Hoover listened to, according TO
the few details Of the dinner which
leaked out today. They were told last
night that il was mistaken policy 20
allow Europe 10 go on running further
into debt when even now European
countries cannot pay the interest on
the sums which they already owe the
United States
The lead in criticizing some OF the
administrations pet projects for Eur
ope trade expansion Is understood TO
have been taken BY George M Rey-
nolds, Chicago banker who in the pre-
inaugural days was considered a prom
inent candidate for secretary OF the
treasury Mr. Reynolds is said 10 have
been very frank in some Of his crit
icism.'

Hoover is UNDERSTOOD to have made a
vigorous defense OF his policies and
what was described as ONE highly IL
Illuminating" conversation ensued.
The theory expoundd at length by
Reynolds and shared by many Of his
western associates was that the best
way for Europe to get on her feet is
to get to work. stop imitation. stop bor-

ano that is what we insist upon get

Standard avenue or Forsythe avenue
would have no idea that to exceed 30
miles per hour he would be violating
safe and sane driving and a word OF
warning will be sufficient from the
officer without yanking him into po-

spelling his trip for him.

FEDERAL
STATE AID
ROAD LAW
State Commission FaVOrs Well
Maintained Gravel
Road.

lliNES EUREAu AT SIAlE lAFi lRAi
INDIANAPOLIS, June 24.-Charles
zeigler. chairman Of the state highway
commission. announced today that an
fort would be made through the
Hoosier members OF Congress 10 obtain
change in the Federal state AID
road law 10 enable states TO construct
gravel roads with the revenue pro
vided from the national treasury.
At present the state. in order TO get
Nederal aid Is compelled to construct
hard surface" roads. Governor Nc
ray and a majority Of the members of
tire state highway commission, how
ever, have adopted policy OF con
structing hard surface roads only
where they are demanded because Of
extremely heavy traffic. After careful
consideration Of the road question the
governor and the commission came to
he conclusion that hard surface roads
are not desirable generally through
out the state.
Not only is the cost Of these roads
almost prohibitive. but they do not
stand up we'll under the Indiana eli
mate Experiments tried out by the
comm ssion indicate that well main
tanned gravel road IS far superior for
general purposes.
The only thing now standing in the
way Of the commission IN carrying out
this policy is the Federal law New
gravel roads can not be constructed
except with state funds The members
of the commission do not believe the
Federal law should confne the activ-
ties Of the state 20 hard surface roads
especially in places where there Il
abundance Of good gravel or stone
The members OF the commission have
aiken the matter up personally with
representative In Congress Fred
Purneu of the Ninth district. Mr..
Purnen Is in sympathy with the plan
and Is to communicate the message OF
the commission to the other Hoosier
representatives. and Senators Harry S
New and James z. Watson.
Mr. zeigler points OUT that at least
4 200 miles Of the Indiana state high
way system can be constructed with
either gravel or stone The remain
inz portion of the system. about 500
miles. should be of hard surface ma
terial. because OF extremely heavy
travel
In Analysing the road situation Mr..
zeigler points out that the average
cost OF hard surface roads IS $4,000
a mile.
The annual interest on this road in
vestment is $4,000 or ss.ooo.ooo year
for 5000 miles. If the state system
IS constructed Of gravel or stone it
will have to be constantly patrolled.
This patrollnz cost. it Is said. does
not exceed s4oo a mile ycar There
fore the total cost Of patroiling Of
gravel roads thereby keeping them IN
perfect condition. would be s1.2oo.ooo
year. or much less than one-third Of
the interest rate on hard surface in
vestment.
II the Indiana officials are success
ful in obtaining 4 change in the Fed
eral Law the entire state system could
soon oe placed in excellent shape. The
present highways would DC widened
graded and we'll coated with gravel or
stone al a cost OF about 10000 a mile,
The members Of the commission are
expecting great opposition to the
change IN the Federal law. The ma
terial Interests especially the cement
and brick industries will battle against
the change.
