directly or indirectly to its own officers,
Governor Strong said, it held $4,000, 600
in liberty bonds as collateral and addi-
tional securities as well.
Mr. Williams charged that 80 per cent
interest rates in New York money mar
kets meant the starving of farming dis
tricts.
Had the comptroller understood the
workings OF the reserve system" Cow
ernor Strong responded, ''he would have
understood those rates resulted from the
constant withdrawal of funds from New
York to send to other sections of the
country"
Much of the credit pressure resulted
from organized movements in various
parts Of the country, Mr.. Strong con-
tinued, Ito withhold commodities from
their usual markets"
"A general denial is hardly an effectual
answer to specific charges and COM
plants" Mr.. Williams said when his turn
came again, and later he expressed the
opinion that the New York bank, dealing
with the reserve funds passed money
out with prodigallty" during periods when
borrowers elsewhere We're being restrict
ed. He concluded his two-day discussion
with observations that there never had
been the currency initiation in this coun-
try that some people believed" that
there was present Improvement from the
lowering of interest rates" and that
farmers are entitled to get. through the
reserve system, nine months credit on
warehouse certificates for their produce,

IRISH CONFER nee To
DISCUSS ULSTER TO-DAY
Question Is Said To Be Most
Difficult of All
Problems

London. England. Oct. 20.-(By The
Associated Press)-The most difficult
problem facing the Irish conference
that of Ulster-will. 1t is understood.
come up tomorrow before the full con-
ference. Sim Fein delegates having
finished work on subcommittees with
the British representatives have been
busy today with their experts conclud-
ing thier case. The Sim Fein has
maintained Its determination not to
agree to enter the British common
wealth unless Ireland is treated as a
unit. An effort therefore is to be made
from tho governments side to induce
Ulster to consider some means by
which while preserving its local auton-
omy, 1t may form a part OF the Irish
state.
thus far and the restlessncss in Belfast
is attributed in high quarters here to
apprehension that the rank and file OF
the British representatives contem-
plate sacrificing them to the desire for
an Irish settlement. All information
obtainable in authoriuve quarters
however points to strict adherence by
Premier Lloyd-George and his COL
leagues to their Ulster pledges. The
opinion Is expressed by many persons
that it will be possible to construct
some plan which while apparently
leaving Ulster untouched VIII give such
advantages to the south as to compel
Ulster to make terms with the south.
There are persons to whom tho DIFF
ficulties seem insupersble, and many
of them prophesy a speedy break in
tho negotiations on this Issue.
