Washington, ID. c., May ~.
President Harding and his Cabinet
believe the processes OF defiation have
gone far enough in this country ana
further Government pressure toward
the tightening down of credit while
business is slackened and prices are
dropping is not deemed desirable. This
was made known authoritatively af-
ter the Cabinet meeting to-day. when
additional details of the conference
held by the President with interna-
tional bankers were disclosed at the
White House.
While the conference of Wednesday
night was largely preliminary, two
definite accomplishments have been
achieved, in the opinion of the Presi-
uent:
1. Assurance has been received
that private bankers and banking
institutions will do their utmost
in creating facilities for financing
our exports on a credit basis
where credit is needed.
2. Banks and bankers will aid
in every way possible the carrying
of credits necessary in the aid OF
agriculture and other producers
at home.

President Keeps Tab
on Hoylake Golf Matches
spec,al Despatch 10 THE NEW YoRK
New York Herald Bureau,
ID. O.. Nav 81.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c., May 81.
president HARDING, as one
of the nations most distin-
guished golf enthusiasts, is great
ly interested in the English anna
teur championship contest. He
remarked to friends to-day that
he was very curious to know
how the American contestants
had been defeated, especially
since some of them had defeated
him.
Incidentally the President told
a story about Chauncey M.
Depew, who is in his 88th year.
He said he met Mr.. Depew re-
Gently at Miami and asked him if
he had taken up golf.
''Not yet," replied Mr.. Depew.
II am not old enough"

Mutual Understanding.

The conference, which was the first
of several. brought mutual understand
ing between the Government and tho
financial interests represented and de
veloped in some detail the, difficulties OF
the situation which must be met.
1t was brought out that the facilities
created by The Government to meet the
situation IN which the country finds
itself, with exports falling off and a
sitting Of business and industry, have
fallen down completely. The War FL
nance Corporations expected coubina-
tions under The Webb-Pomerene law ano
financing activities under the Edge act
have not developed 10 any great extent
and other measures are regarded as
necessary.
Ii was explained that there Is no
miraculous or artificial cure for an
economic situation that is worldwide
and the gravity of the situation at home
was sharply emphasized. 1t was made
known that many small banks OF the
country are LOADED" and can carry no
further loans for business men ana
business organizations and that some
business failures may 30 expected.
Among the conclusions reached was
that moral suasion or other force By the
Government was not now necessary and
would not become necessary. The bank
ers are moved by patriotism and are
ready and willing to put their country
first. AZ a result no legislative restric-
tlons will be asked in control or foreign
loans in this country. Instead they will
be treated on basis or mutual under
standing.

Governing Purpose.

No hard and fast rule will be laid
down. II Is the understanding that II Ia
the frst duty OF the Government 10 see
that the money in some way goes toward
Americas restoration. and consideration
or the financial market at homo will
largely govern.
There Is a full realization that tbs
handling OF foreign loans In the United
States means large commissions for
American Lsnking institutions. but con-
siderations which have led the biz inter-
national bankers to favor such loans are
beyond this. The bankers believe tho
amendment 10 the Federal Reserve act
providing for steep rates or penalizing
rediscount rates. which can be put into
effect AT will. IL all wrong. This pro-
vision, they say. Is responsible IN large
measure for the credit situation in banks
al home and should be repealed.
The bankers feel that an assurance
Of political stability for the countries
seeking credit here Is, n not necessary
very desirable. Such assurance Is re-
xarded as beyond possibility for the
presen.
Much consideration was given at the
conference to the question OF acceptance

From Responsible source.

AUG Econtes says 1t has this infor-
nation from an indisputable source.
President Hardlngs conference with
bankers and the American attitude tow
ard the prospective use OF German se-
curities continues 10 engross attention
here. particularly since Senator Cheron's
report on the budget problem az IL was
affected by the London settlement
showed that France could not expect
more than 1000, 100000 francs this year
from the agreement TO apply TO her
deficit between receipts and expenses
amounting to $4,000. 900 francs.
Newspapers such as the Temps take q
pessimlstic view OF the problem looming
up this year Admitting that NJ Cheron
may be right in saying that solution
OF the problem is not impossible. the
Temps, for example. says:
I'VE can no longer blind ourselves TO
facts that a reduction OF our credit VIII
confront us with an effort which will
threaten 10 exceed our forces. and In
any case will submit those qualities Of
courage and energy we have shown in
critical situations TO a new test
The Temps adds that unless the situa-
tion is studied and Is handled with
greatest care II will invite disastrous
consequences for France.

MiIIerand's Diplomacy.

1t was President Millerand's diplo-
macy. rather than any tempestuous
outbursts by Premier BRAND. which
swerved Premier Lloyd George of
Great Britain from his course in the
SIesian dispute. Lord Derby, formerly
British Ambassador TO France. and
King George playing the intermediary
troles, according TO AuT Econtcs.
Believing that the Franco English
alliance was indispensable to the peace
OF Europe. President Mlllerand addressed
King George" Il says. ITO transmit his
grievance to King George the President
used Lord Derby, a sincere friend OF
France and who is able to reach the
Kings car.
Following Lord Derby's semi-oflcial
communication, the King summoned the
Premier and addressed to him the fol-
lowing homily:
Under your Ministry. my dear Lloyd
George. we have civil war in Ireland.
In India. Egypt and Mesopotamia there
are uprisings. Canada and Australia
are showing the most disquieting signs
OF independence TO say nothing of the
strikes which have paralyzed British in
dustry. Between US, do you think this
an opportune moment TO excite France
against us by disturbing speeches. Eng
land IS really not in a position 10 prove
arrogant toward any one, but what will
become of US II our faithful ally since
six years repudiates the treaties unit
ing us?'"
