Realizing nearly 500 on the $4,000

INTEREST RATE CUT
BY BANK OF ENGLAND;
MOVE IS SURPRISE
CBy Associated Press)

LONDON, June 23-The Bank of
England sprang a surprise on the
money market today by reducing its
rate of discount one-half of one per
cent to six per cent, just as the banks
were making up their half yearly &C
counts. This will necessitate a great
deal of extra work in altering the
rates of interest and it was explained
that during the day the deposit rates
would be lowered.
1t had been thought the Bank of
England would abstain from any re.
duction in the rate pending the settle
ment of the labor troubles. and it is
cision to lower the rate was the ne
cessity that the treasury be able to
borrow money more cheaply. The
government recently has been able to
place treasury bills at just over five
per cent in consequence of cheaper
money conditions, and with another
half per cent off the bank rate it is
considered probable the government
would be able to place them still
lower
The recent reduction of the federal
reserve bank rate in the United
States and cheaper money conditions
in America were also guiding influ-
ences to the lower minimum rate
The effect of the reduction was i'm
mediately seen in the stock market
where fair sized orders were placed
in the gilt edged section for war loans,
Indian stocks, Argentine tours and
other bonds. The market also hard
! ened in other sections.

VERA CRUZ REVOLT

VERA CRUZ, June 23.-General
Guadalupe Sanchez, chief of military
operations in the state of Vera Cruz
has left for Minatitlan, in the south
ern part of the state, to put down
revolt reported to have been started
by General Castillo Perez. General
Sanchez took with him 1900 soldiers
and it is feared that fighting has been
begun with the rebels.
The forces led by General Perez are
said to be followers of Felix Diaz, who
was deported shortly after the in
auguration of President Obregon.
They have long been a disorder1y ele-
ment in the state of Vera Cruz.
General Perez reached an agree
ment with the Mexican government
last February, by which he was given
amnesty in return for promise not
to engage in further disorders. Several
warnings we're sent him recently, but
he ignored them and federal troops
we're at last called upon to bring him
into subsection.

LONG TERM CREDITS,
FOREIGN EXPANSION,
URGED AS NECESSITY
SBy Associated PreSsD

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., June %
The extension of long term credits
and the placing of American invest
ments abroad were urged today as
necessary to the revival of American
business and restoration OF a world
economic balance by William c. Red
field, former secretary of commerce
Mr.. Redfeld addressed the state bank
section of the New York state bank
ers' association in convention here.
There are undeveloped portions of
the world where American capital and
enterprises are welcome because no
political purpose accompanies them, y
sair Mr.. Redfeld. We may not long
to act merely as merchandisers or
traders to substantial profit in field
so bitterly contested as are the for
eign markets when others are in &C
tual control of the going enterprises
therein"
Mr.. Redfeld declared that time
tools and toll we're the solvents of the
economic problem in which the ma
lions were staggering under enormous
debts.
Returns Matter Of Time.
I'VE must furnish to those who owe
US, much for which they cannot
promptly pay" he continued, not
only more in the way of goods. but
must contribute to them that vital ele-
ment of time in which to turn the
goods thus to be sold to their and
our advantage. In the near future
we must sell more on long time in
order to get what is already due Us"
We need not look abroad to find
the major force which drives US into
the worlds markets" he said. 1T is
powerful, imnopTesent, the living
pressure of economic law. 1t says
sell abroad or wither at home
Mr. Redfeld declared America needs
the good will of the world which can
not be secured effectively by shutting
the world out just when America
needs most to let it in.
We do not stand alone in the world
with a monopoly on any of the things
we offer in its markets" he said.
There are others who can serve nea>
ly or quite as we'll as we. We lack as
yet the facilities for long term credits
and for foreign investments. Mean
while from every side come warnings
that Germany and others are already
doing and are talking while they are
acting"
