MANY CASES OF ROBBERY OF
80 TO 500 OF MONEY SENT.

The incident inspired Widovitch to
slkiTmish around through the Rou-
manian quarter and dig up people
who had sent money abroad and
check up the number Of lei which
they had obtained for their dollars,
with the number of lei they should
have received at the prevailing rate
Of exchange. He found that in al
most every instance, no matter what
bank or broker or agent had trans
mitted the money, an average Of
from 80 to 60 per cent. of the value
of the American money had vanished
into thin air between the banks
counter and the hands Of the person
who received the lei in Roumania.
This" said Widovitch to the
writer, is a very bad business for
America. These people know they
were vicumizCd and they have found
out that there Is no protection-the
bankers or brokers or agents can
charge what they please for Rou-
manian lei and there is no power in
this country TO stop them.
Naturally the Roumanian blames
the Government of the United States.
In most cases he cannot read or
write or speak English. He feels
that II the great American Govern
ment cannot regulate his country
men who are engaged In bleeding
him the Government is a failure
Those people have primitive thoughts
They do not reason far.
There can be no Americanizatlon
without protection - you cannot
Americanize the foreigner as long as
you allow the only people he can do
business wlth-the people who speak
his language - to take away his
money"

paid to Keleman's brother.
Even had the Belgrade bank paid
$50 lei in lieu of the S26 in American
money involved in the transaction,
that would have been only a little
more than one-half the lei value of
s26, at the rate of 100 lei for $1.75.
Still, there would have disappeared

The decision t. continue all of

that $305, 100000 Of the $350,000,00O

the important taxes levied in the
House biz, and has put back some
minor ones that the House knocked
out, the necessity for continuance OF
transportation taxes had not been
regarded generally as having been
demonstrated.
In today's session the Finance
Committee approved temporarily the

turers tax on cereal beverages and
