MOTOR DEPT. REGISTERS

Nearly $4,000 motor vehicles of all
kinds had been registered for the year
1922 up to the close Of business We'd
nesday at the motor vehicle department
in Hartford. Long lines of motorists
filled the third floor Hobbies of the cap
ito1 but were kept moving rapidly and
there were few delays.
The department has been troubled so
much by imperfectly prepared applica-
tons for registrations, that tables have
been prepared at the end of the third
floor opposite the registration windows,
where applications are examined in adj
vance. Attendants at these tables no.
tify applicants at once if their applca-
lions are faulty and, if SO, in What re-
spect. Thus all delays at the registra-
ton windows because of faulty applca-
lions are eliminated and the lines keep
moving rapidly. Such waiting as is nee
essary is made less tiresome by the pro-
vision of, chairs along the walls of the
third floor so that applicants may be
seated. Racks have been erected for
the display of approved types Of lenses
for motor vehicle lamps. Information is
also supplied as to which of the lenses
are also legal in Massachusetts.

Harding and Bankers
Differ OUer Loans

Continued from Fass Ono
1t can be said positively that this Ad-
ministration Is strongly opposed to
the granting Of American loans for for
eign government budget purposes.
Waste by Governments
Not only would free access by foreign
governments to American money mar
kets weaken the influence of this Ad-
ministration upon those governments,
but economically there is a sound rea
son for not lending money to meet for
eiyn budget deficits, such as that 10
France. World capital is scarce, and
most government use Of capital is un-
productive at least, much Of II is sheer
waste.
For the recovery Of Europe and the
world it liz necessary to cut down this
unproductive use of funds as much as
possible, and a policy Of the American
bankers and Government Of refusing
loans upon reparations bonds for use
in meeting the French deficits will have
a wholesome effect in conserving capital.
1t will tend to force France to reduce
expenses on army and elsewhere and TO
improve its system Of taxation.
The Government is undoubtedly right
on this point The bankers are probably
right in holding that an attempt to re-
strict the use Of money borrowed hert
Tor productive purposes to the purchas,
Of American products is narrow and
short sighted. and that it will tend u
slow up world recovery. 1t would shu,
Europe out of the cheapest market ant
dam up world trade.
The Administration would probabl,
take this view IL il were not for iii
fear that the American farmer woult
fail to take a longer view of his owl
interest than the immediate investment
of the foreign loan proceeds in Ameri
can farm products.
Compromise May Result
Probably a compromise between tn
Administration and the bankers point o
view will he possible which will clos
American loan markets to foreign Gov
ernments. but will leave some latitud
to foreign borrowers regarding the us
of his loans here.
The conference was called not "
much to discuss the foreign loan situa
ton, as to discuss the financial situs

placed. Inevitably it passed from thi
