WASHINGTON, Apg. 15.-Wor.d trade
debtors increased their obligatio to
American business concerns Ly $1,000
100000 in the last hscaI year. The Fed
eral Reserve Boards estimates today
showed that this tremendous buying OF
American goods on a credit basis had
further swollen Americas favorab bic
trade balance against the world to 81
50O.O0O0O0 This represents money due
American business concerns, that Is en-
tirely 'unfunded" and merely stands as
promises 20 pay when world exchange
disorders are corrected.
The debts represented by this IN
funded balance are at present uncol-
lectable, because OF the condition Of
foreign finances. The balance due on
trade accounts IS IN addition 20 the more
than SIOM0,OO00eO due the United States
Government IN war loans. America S
credits TO the rest Of the world there

stand at Ss45o0 100000
The Federal Reserve Board for the FIRST
time IN q review Of the menacinE fea-
lures Of this credit situation. admitted
some American concerns already have
sums Of foreign obligations there are
many bad debts and absolute losses.
MILLIONS LOST
IN CANCELLATIONS.
Part Of these bad debts represent can
collation. Of goods IN foreign ports. Nil
lions OF dollars have been lost to Ameri-
can commercial interests through refusal
Of European buyers to accept shipments.
Reserve board experts estimate that be
tween 100000. 600 and 5000 100000 were
eoated in foreign loans in the United
States in the twelve months period ended
June 80. That sum, however, Is included
in the total estimate OF unfunded bal
ance yet to be paid American interests
the loans being listed as so-called lin
visible items"
American hnacial institutions, for rea-
sons Of business safety, are continuing
to withdraw from commitments in for
eign trade The reserve board also has
noted that foreign agencies haze been
placing very stringent regulations upon
the business which normally could be
done through American financial agen-
cies.
Officials Of the board refer to the fact
that moratoriums in various countries
is also an adverse factor now weighing
heavily against Americas dealings with
the rest of the world.
EXCHANGE FLUCTUATIONS
PRESENT OBSTACLES.
The fluctuations in foreign exchange,
the board said, at present present one
of the very serious obstacles to American
business in any new plan to extend
American trade. The exchange situation,
1t WAS declared, was difficult for the
American shipper because of its uncer-
tainty. The board said that by accept
ing payment in currencies Of foreign
countries or agreeing to pay in those
currencies. Americans cannot calculate
with accuracy, even over a brief space
of time the amount in American dollars
be will receive or be obliged to pay.
The board pointed out as another dis
turbing element in the situation the
reparations settlement with Germany, re-
sultng in considerable operations in
American dollars and IN other currencies.

HIS IDEA OF A DRUNK
Judge Riley, of Lexington, Tells
What Degree Will Receive Fine
tBy Associated Press)

Lexington. Sept. 20-ImbiDers
of moonshine, jamaica ginger,
red whisky or any other kind OF
intoxicants known to persons in
trested in evading the Nolstead
act, will not be found guilty OF
drunkenness in the Lexington
police court unless they create Il
disturbance. This ultinatum to
the police of the city recently was
laid down by Police Judge J. J..
Riley in disrlissing the case of a
negro arrested because he stag
gered slightly from the effects
of overindulgence in forbidden
beverages.
"My notion of being drunk. y
said Judge Riley, is not walk
ing harmlessly down the street
staggering slightly from the ef-
fects Of few shots under the
belt. but to be convicted of drum
kenness a man must be humping
into folks, causing a disturbance,
or be down in the streets block
ing traffic" In dismissing the
negro Judge Riley added that
under the Eighteenth amend
ment man is not allowed to ar
que with an officer over drink
and hereafter if an officer tells
you to- go home when you are
drinking or looking for drink.
you had better 60" The negro
in this case had been ordered to
go home but refused to do SO.
At the same Monday morning
session in which the judge laid
down the rule for convicting per-
sons of drunkenness, five white
men and one woman were found
guilty of being drunk and fined.

TOO few DOCTORS
IN RURAL DISTRICTS
And Danger Of Over-5recializa-
tion, Says Report To State
Medical Association
Iby Associated Press)

Louisville, Sept. 2O-IOO few
ply are locating in sthe
rural districts and there is danger
OF over-specialization by doctors
The report of the Council to the
House of Delegates of the Ken
tucky Medical Association declar-
ed i'll its annual report made here
last night, The tendency of toe
many to settle in centers of pop
ulation rather than i'll rural sec
tions. the report said, constitutes
a danger both to the medical pro-
fession and to the public.
Urging a closer relationship
between the physicians of the
state who devote themselves to
curative medicine and the health
authorities who specialize in pre-
vcntive medicines, the council iii
the report said:
1T is clearly time that the or
ganized medical profession shall
accept the responsibilities in con-
nection with Ill health and It's
causes and shall support througll
its county and municipal societies
such diagnostic, teaching and 9th
cr clinics as will bring to all the
people, whether living in the cl-
ties or the country, all the
knowledge and means necessary
to enable them to live through
the years OF their natural expec-
tation." +"
The report of the council III
emphasizing the dangers of over
specialization declared that it is
essential that the physician, even
though ultimately his practice is
to be that of z specialist, be Civ
ell a sound and general training
in medicine. One of the particu-
lar dangers Of over-specialization
emphasized was that it has led
the general public to distrust any
doctor except specialist.
The fact that in this connect'nn
Kentucky is rather better of
because law requiring the exam
ination in the fundamental
branches of all who desire to
practice the various cults of med
lcine by assistant examiners Of
Ihe State Board of Health, also
was brought out in the report.
Emphasizing the need Of more
thorough training in preventive
medicine, the council commended
the University of Louisville, fol
courses that have been added tc
its curriculum. The School ot
Public Health operated jointly
by the State Board of Health
and the University, also was
commended and the declaration
made that more public health
physicians and more public
health nurses are needed in the
state.
