FINANCES BETTER
DECLARES HARDING
GLOOMY FoREBoDINGS IN FINAN-
CIAL SITUATION NO
LONGER EXISTS
MUST PUSH foreign TRADE
Although Process Of Readjustment Is
Not ompIeted-Evidences Show
That Most Acute Stage Reached

Charlotte, n. C.-Gloomy forebod
ings of last winter with respect to
the banking situation are no longer
justified and can be dismissed, Gov
ernor Harding, of the federal reserve
board, declared in an address here
rcntly at tn Made-in-Carolina eXposi'
tion.
THE banking situation has great
ly improved" Mr.. Harding said. land
although the process of readjustment
has not been completed, evidences are
multiplying that the corner has been
turned and that We have passed the
most acute stage of the readjustment
period
Governor Harding said that in the
immediate future much would depend
on agricultural developments and the
manner in which this years crops
were marketed
with proper cooperation on the
part of merchants and bankers" he
said, "those engaged in agriculture
have opportunities and prospects
which were not anticipated a few
months ago and it is of vital import
ance that this cooperation be given.
1T should be remembered" Gov
ernor Harding continued, that in
order to maintain our production We
must push our foreign trade. We can
not maintain our foreign trade on the
basis of the gold stock of other ma
tions and some means must be de-
vised for extending longtime credits
abroad or of interesting American in
vestors in foreign properties and Sc
curities in order that the exchange
rate which now runs so heavily
gaainst other nations may be cor
rected.
I'VE must continue to buy from
foreign countries those things which
they can produce better or more
cheaply that we can and exchange
commodities with them. If we deter
mine to do business with and for our
selves alone it seems inevitable that
we must reduce out production to
meet merely American requirements" ;"
The recent advance in the price
of cotton was in no way due to any
increase in the loans of Federal Re-
serve banks or to any expansion in
the currency, Governor Harding, de-
clared, but to operation of the inev.
liable Ia wof supply and demand. Fed
eral reserve notes actually in circu-
lation, he said, were about S500,000,-
900 less than when cotton reached its
lowest point last spring.

BORAH OBJECTS
TO DELAY TREATY
RRECoNcILABES" REAR HEADS
WHEN CONSIDERATION OF
NEW PACT Is BEGUN
VOICES FEAR OF OBLIGATIONS
Says Might Entail Necessity OF Main-
tanning v. s. Armed Forcer
On Germany

Washington.-Rese may be
made to the treaty Of peace President
Harding has negotiated with Germany.
Thy would be designed to prevent
American ENHANCEMENT in the affairs
of Europe and are considered neces-
sary by those who led the fight
against the treaty of Versailles, not
ably Senator Borah.
A suggested reservation is the same
as one Senator Lodge, chairman of
the committee on foreign relations,
offered when the treaty Of Versailles
was before tn senat. It would pre-
vent participation of American repre-
sentatives on international bodies
created by the Versailles pact, unless
the express consent Of congress were
obtained. Another safeguard desired
by irreconcilables sthat there be a
definite stipulation that in ratifying
the new treaty, American assumes no
obligations to assist in carrying out
provisions Of the Versailles treaty.
Senator Borah directed the atten-
tion of the committee on foreign rela-
tons to these points when it met re-
Gently to consider the treaty. He
based his objections on the fact that
the treaty accepts certain provisions
Of the Versailles pact.
Borah contended that approval Of
the treaty would entail a moral and
probably legal obligation on the part
of the United States to baintain troops
in Germany.
He argued also that unless there
were provision to the contrary, the
executive might name American dele
gates to sit on the various bodies set
up to administer the peace Of Yer
sailles, notably the reparation COM
mission, to which there was partic-
ular objection from irreconcilables. 1t
was argued that American participa-
ton in the affairs Of the reparations
commission would entail involvment
in European political affairs for years
to come.
The reservation of Senator Lodge,
which 1t was suggested might be re-
vived, would forbid the president to
name any American representative to
sit on any international body without
consent of congress, and it would re-
quire the confirmation by the senate
of any person named.

u. S. Senate FACING jam
Ire Of Leaders Aroused BY Many Ao-
sentees On The Opening Day
Sharp Skirmish On Beer

Washington.-The senate finds itself
in legislative jam at the outset OF
the post-vacation session.
Four major matters are before 1t
clamoring for attention.
/. The revenue bill, called up in
the. senate by Senator Penrose, chair
man of the finance committee, with
the announcement that consideration
would be pressed.
2. The anti-beer bill, also called up
in the senate, which Senator Sterling
says he will push at every opportunity.
8. The Panama canal tolls repeal,
unfinished business in the senate, on
which there will be vote by agree
ment October 16.
4. Peace treaties with Germany,
Austria and Hungary, immmediate rat
ification of which has been asked by
President Harding.
The tangle of business creates sit
| uation that is taxing the ingenuity Of
Republican leadership and which is
causing considerable concern. Adding
to the difficulties is the small attend
ance-33 Republicans and 21 Demo
Gratis answered the roll call when Sen
ator Lodge, Republican leader, made
the plea of no quorum. Leaders in the
majority are displeased with the large
number of absences.
The revenue bill is conceded in all
quarters to be entitled to precedence,
but 1t is feared that other matters Will
interfere with it's uninterrupted consid-
Grafton. The intention of leaders is to
Sandwich in" the treaties, resorting
to night sessions if this becomes nec-
essary. II night sessions were held,
questions not pertaining to the treaty
would be vigorously excluded.
Senator Penrose reported the reve-
nue. bill as soon as the senate met and
announced that he would ask for a
beginning of discussion when the COM
mittee's report on the bill had been
received from the printer. Senator Un-
derwood, Democratic leader, said the
minority would require seven days in
which to prepare its report on the
bill
The determination Of drys to push
the anti-beer bill means that 1t may
bob up to provoke debate at any time.
Senator Stirling called it up, and start
ed a sharp parliamentary fight. Sena-
tor Reed, enemy of the bill, made
motion to adjourn, which was defeat
ed, 33 to 107. Then Reed argued that
it was unfair to insist on consideration
of the bill, when many senators who
wished to oppose it were not present,
because they had thought the senate
would not be in session. He said there
was no filibuster against the bill, but
that one might develop II drys were
insistent. The dispute ended when
Senator Curtis moved for an executive
session. At one time Stirling persuad-
ed the senate to send the sergeant-at-
arms in search of absent members be-
cause there was no quorum.
