PARIS BANKS ALOOF
In DE CHINE CRASH
Failure to Extend Aid Causes
Hesitancy in Financial
Circles.
THREE BIG LOANS COMING
Movement On to Reduce Bank
Of Frances Discount Rate to
53-4 P. C. to Aid Trade.

Special Cable TO THE New YORK HERALD.

New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, June &c.
Despite the fact that the profits of the
majority of French banks and the divi-
dends IL the last year have been excep-
tionally satisfactory. financial circles
here remain hesitant because of the fail
ure of other banking houses to go to the
aIc of the Banque Industrielle de Chine.
This Is expected to have an important
and perhaps serious effect on other
banks. one financial newspaper intimat-
ing that such an attitude is dangerous
If il continues, as the Bank of France
alone would be unable to meet all the
Industrielle's outstanding obligations il
other credit organizations withheld sup
port.
During the last week bank stocks, as
well as oils, Goals and diamonds. were
subjected to depression. but even the
financial difficulties have not created
greater drops than were experienced by
other international bourses The public
investing capacity will be tried out in
the coming months by three new loans,
all at 6 per cent. and tax free, the first
being for the City Of Paris for 1,800,-
coo, 900 francs. which is expected to be
subscribed within fortnight. commenc-
ing July 4. Then will come the Rheims
and Verdun loans, each approxinating
1000. 900, 900 francs, the proceeds to be
devoted to the reconstruction Of these
two cities.
Notwithstanding external financial
troubles the situation Of the Bank of
France was not aggravated last week.
advances to the State showing q re-
duction of 600.000,0Oo francs. with a
corresponding reduction of 47S,o00.O00
francs in note circulation and with only
100000 francs gold reserve reduction.
The Bank of Frances discount rate
remains at per cent, but a movement
is on foot to follow the example Of the
Bank of England and reduce the rate
by at least a per cent. which would
have a profitable effect on business in
general.
Efforts are already being made to
grant wider liberty to bourse transac-
tions especially in the negotiations Of
French rentes and war loans. which are
still not quoted officially. 1t was an
nounced yesterday that subscriptions to
the new 6 per cent. bonds at two years
brought in almost 5000. 100000 francs
of new money.

GERMAN INTERESTS
TO REOPEN RUSSIA
Commercial Leaders Do Not
Look for Early Downfall
of Soviet Regime.
HAMBURG LINE TO ASSIST
New Transport Company Will
Develop Trade Routes and
Advise Buyers.

HAMBURG, June 26. - Discussing the
recent organization OF the German
Russian Transport Company. in which
the Soviet Government officially holds
one-half interest and which will exer-
else general supervision OF rail and
water traffic between German ports and
Russian destinations. a leading member
CT the Warburg banking house told the
Associated Press that German CONNER
cial interests purposed to take the Mos
COW regime as it is and as a govern
.nent in fact He said he did not look
for the early downfall of Nikolai Lenine
and Leon Trotzky and that he believed
their forced disappearance from the
government would result in unspeakable
chaos.
The banker said he failed to under
stand why the United States ignored
the present Soviet administration In
Russia. 1t was his belief. he said. that
Leonid Krassine. the Bolshevik Minister
OF Trade and Commence. should be per-
mitted to enter the United States with
the purpose Of discussing Russia, either
officially or privately.
Says Russia Is More Liberal.
1--WE believe Russia is becoming more
liberal and are not inclined to share
the opinion prevailing in many quarters
that the country is being run by radi-
GALS" the banker continued. THE Rus
sian problem Is so intricate that a So
luton of it Is impossible of achievement
by any one Power. or by private groups.
1t calls for coordination and interna-
tional collaboration.
The banker said he firmly believed
that the task of winning back Rus
sia'' could not be accomplished without
the active participation of German
brains and technical skill. "Our nat
ural proximity to Russia and our init
mate acquaintance with Russian char
acter, accumulated during extensive
pre-war activities there, entirely qualify
us actively to share in the Forthcoming
work Of reconstruction" he said.
At the offices OF the Hamburg-Am
can Line, which controls the other half
interest in the new German Russian
Transport Company, the correspondent
found feeling Of optimism with re-
spect to early prospects for an active
resumption of trading between Germany
and Russia.
There Is less reason for being diff
dent about going into Russia under
present conditions than existed when
the European Powers decided to venture
into Darkest Africa said one OF the
directors of the Hamburg american
Line.

LUMBER ORDERS sLACKEN.
Prices Firm ms Dcnation In the In
dustry Continues.

There has been some slackening in
orders during the last ten days. due
largely to the fact that the seasonal
slump in buying IL making Itself felt"
says the weekly lumber market report
from American Lupi herman. Production
on the whole has slightly exceeded or
ders for the last two weeks. but ship
ments have exceeded production.
THE principle decrease in buying has
been noted in the softwood market. as
at this season farmers are not doing
much building. Prices, however re-
main comparatively firm. though there
is a continual shifting going on which
In the end will result in the restoration
OF the normal spread in prices between
the different grades. while Timber as
a whole has generally deflated there are
certain grades which still have not de-
flated In proportion to the deflation ex-
pcrienced in other grades.

Explains Company's Functions.

That the United States. by deferring
action in recognizing Russia, was de-
priving itself OF practical advantages
which should be seized Immediately. was
the opinion expressed by this German
shipping leader. He said the newly
formed German-Russian Transport COM
pany only represented the framework for
a comprehensive forwarding service. The
functions of the company. he added.
would be to charter vessels and select
all rail routes and otherwise assist Rus
sian buyers to secure the lowest freight
rates and generally expedite the trans
portation of all commodities from toys
to locomotives, bought in Germany.
The Hamburg American Line through
the new organization Is placing its traf-
fic experts at the disposal of the Soviet
Government These experts will work
in conjunction with the Soviet trade
commission recently established in Ber-
lin under the direction OF the Russian
envoy, NJ. Stopianiakov. All purchases
are to be made by the Russian Govern
ment exclusively, pending the restora-
ton of free trading, which leading Ger
man business men say will shortly be
forthcoming as a feature or Nikoiai Len
ines revised programme.
Among firms which have booked or
ders from Russia are the Krupps. the
Borsing Company OF Berlin, the Hen
schelI Company of Cassel and the Vul-
kan Works.
Although the Hamburg American
Line is the only German concern rep
resented in the new German-Russian
Transport Company, the latter, it was
said to-day, would freely invite COM
petitive bids from all the German ship
ping lines. Water routes to Petrograd
or by way of Reval and Riga Will be
the only ones considered for the time
being. as overland transportation is not
vet feasible. This was due. 1t was added,
TO the Polish Governments failure to
negotiate a trade treaty with the Soviet
Government.

Washington, July 22.-Scattered along the fairways of the long, long trail which has as it's winding end the supreme golf glory of the year there lie today the crushed hopes of two of the greatest link artists of all time Jock Hutchinson, the famous Glen View professional, who recently re turned from St. Andrews with the British open championship in his pos session, and Abe Mitchell, the solemn visaged English star, who is rated as the logical successor to Ted Ray, Har- ry Vardon and others of the long line of British masters.

TO TEST LAW

 New York, July 22.-In an effort to test the oonstitutionality of the Fed eral law that prohibits the transpor- tation of fight pictures from one state to another the films of the Dempsey Carpenter contest are to be thrown on the screen in leading theatre in this city beginning tomorrow. An nouncement to this effect was made yesterday by F. c. Quimby, who pro- duced the photographs and controls the world rights to the spectacle. He has already disposed of the rights in many foreign countries and iI pre- pairing t" sell them to persons in va rious states of the Union.
 The presumption that Quimhy is preparing to test the law is based on still on the. books, and that any at tempt to evade it's provisions would result in action by the Federal auth critics. It is not improbable that Qumby already has applied for an in junction to prevent interference with the showing of the pictures and that this will pave the way to bringing up the question of consttutionality. Quimby takes the ground that if 90,000 persons were sufficiently inter ested in the match to go to Jersey Citv the millions who could not go to 1 the scene of the combat should not a photographic reproduction of the

TRAINING IS OVER
Yale-Harvard and Oxford Cambridge Athletes Are Ready For Games Tomorrow at Stadium.

lOn1OfrOW at StaOlum. Il
 Cambridge, Mass, July 22.--The Oxford and Cambridge track team, as we'll as that which will represent Harvard and Yale in Saturdays in ternational meet in the stadium yes terday afternoon, worked out for the last time before the games. The boys did no hard work, however, the Englishmen and the trainers of the American athletes having decided that their teams are ready and need only the lightest work before the meet
 For the runners the days drill comprised jogging, merely. while the field event contestants did just enough work to prevent their muscles from becoming stiff. For the first time since the four groups of college men have been working out at Cambridge all the mem bers of both teams were on hand. The English announced that Ford will be able to compete an any of the several events for which he has been classed as re- serve. He will surely jump.
 H. B. Stallard. the Cambridge miller who has been having trouble with his foot, was out again today and acted as if he would be able to give good account of himself. Me
 Innes, the two- miler also appeared l to be in better trim. These men arc
 two very important ones on the visit l ing team, and if either is beaten by
 O'Connell or Douglas in the mile or
 two-mile, Great Britain's chances of
 winning the meet will not be very
 good.
 The Americans are in particularly
 good shape for hard going and ap- pear to be down finer than their English visitors Both teams were photographed this afternoon, the American team wearing it's new uni
 forms-white shirt with crimson CIT
 or blue ''Y' and white running trunks
 trimmed at the belt, cuffs and seams
 with red and blue. .. | Harvard and Yale are feeling bet
 CT over their prospects for the meet i than they were week ago. This IS because of the showing that has been
 made daily by Campbell in the half
 mile, Krogness of Harvard in the hurdles, and Douglas of Yale in the | two mile run. The hammer, how ever. is pretty much conceded to l Nokes, the Oxford Rhodes scholar.
