HARDING SAYS
BE OPTIMISTIC
Head of Federal Reserve System De-
ciares Banks Can Loan Money Now
No Farm Credits Called.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Credit pol
icies of the federal reserve system contin-
ued under examination of congress
sional commission yesterday, in a con-
tInuously stormy atmosphere, with Gov
ernor Harding of the reserve board as
the sole witness.
THE federal reserve board didn't Gre
ate this financial DEPRESSION Governor
Harding exclaimed toward the end of the
day. 1T saw it coming and got ready to
protect things, and people ought to be
grateful it did 50. Now all we need is
cessation of pessimism, which marks bad
times as foolish optimism marks good
times. We all know now everybody was
going crazy in the boom during the fall
of 1919.
This situation is going to work out.
There's no comparison between the cOndi
ton year ago and conditions to-
day. Take cotton, with low yield and
exports picking up. Banks everywhere
are fully justified now in carrying loans.
''All we've got to do is to get out of
everlasting pessimism and quit saying
everything is going to the dogs. Why,
man has to put up good cheerful face
If he wants credit. You can't talk to the
banker like you do to the tax assessor"
Has the reserve board called in farm
credits" Representative Funk of Illinois
asked.
NO, sir, it never has, Governor
Harding reported.
In general, Mr.. Harding said, 1.-THE at
titude of the reserve board toward agri-
culture has been greatly misunderstood
and grossly misrepresented."
THE whole trouble with the reserve
system in meeting agricultural demands
is that reserve banks do not and cannot
lend to individual borrowers" he added.
The paper of borrowers must get into
hands of member banks before it gets to
the system"

GERMAN FORCES WON'T
BE USED IN SILESIA

reichstag leaders have wisely decided
to abandon for the moment the
thought of using German forces in
dependent1y in upper Silesia, al
possibility if order is not speedily
restored. They were Influenced in this
decision by the realization they
would forfeit the favorable opinions
they have won in entente capitals
through the rash Polish move and
by the favorable entente response to
the German offer to assist the inter
allied commission in the task of re-
storing order.

MOTHER

Yesterday was mothers day and
the ministers of the city paid elo-
quent tribute to those who mould
the hearts and minds of the men of
the country.
We had the privilege of attending
the Christian church and hearing an
eloquent and touching discourse on
Mother" from the lips of Rev. J
E. Stewart, pastor of that church.
The text was from the 2Sth verse
of the 18th chapter of Matthews, con-
cerning the healing of the daughter
of the woman who was afflicted. At
ter He had tried her faith He
spoke concerning it, and healed the
child.
Mr.. Stewart said that some are in
clined to think that we enjoy the
sentimental too greatly when we de-
vote the services of this day in hon
or of our mothers, but we think it
is worth while for us olet our minds
run back to, the days of our child
hood when mother was ever near to
love, comfort and console us. Hap
py is the man or woman who have
their mothers with them. There are
some possibly who can not appre-
cite all that this means.
Mr. Stewart spoke beautifully of
the influence of the mother in the
home and it's radiance through the
man into the nation.
After all, he said, it is the mother
who shapes and prepares mankind
for the responsibilities of life, and
brings to him the finer sense of re-
sponsibility and interest which
makes or mars him for success or
failure.
Before beginning his sermon, Mr..
Stewart called attention to the COM
mencement exercises at the Atlantic
Christian College beginning Satur-
day night and said that the school
is in fine shape and the student body
has done most excellent work this
year, and the institution is worthy of
the patronage of the people ard is
making a record for efficiency second
to none in the country.

HENRY CLEWS
FINANCIAL LETTER

New York, May 7-Defnite pre-
troops into Germany have been fol-
lowed by a short-term notification to
the Berlin Government that it must
accede to the basis of settlement al
ready outlined by the Allies or else
prepare for the utmost penalty. AS
for our own part in the situation,
Secretary Hughes positive refusal to
act as mediator and his criticism of
has destroyed the last hope of relying
upon the Intervention of the United
States to mitigate Allied demands.
The fact that under these circum-
stances sterling exchange has contin-
ued its advance to a point near 81
shows the confidence that is enter
tanned by the business world in the
eventual acceptance by Germany of
an adequate adjustment plan. 1t is
evident that the Germans are on the
eve of submitting new terms which
it is believed will be good enough
to receive serious consideration at
the hands of the Allies.
Secretary Melons announcement
of new tax programme shows that
the Harding Administration means
business in regard to the repeal of
the excess profits tax and the modifi-
cation Of the extreme severity of the
individual income tax. 1t sweeps a.
way, however, some visions of lower
ed taxes, b1unt1y stating that unless
Congress greatly cuts down expendi-
ture, the Government must continue
to get an income of about $5,OOO,-
100000 per annum. President Hard
1ng's positive order to the different
bureaus and departments not to call
for deficiency appropriations is at
least step in the direction of max
ing the programme of economy prac-
tica1, but success in this regard will
depend chiefly upon the avoidance of
new COMMITMENTS fact which Sec
retary Mellon clearly points out The
Secretary's plan for the refunding of
maturing debt is ingenious and
should assist in Strengthening the
values of Government bonds.
A further definite step in the pro-
cess of readjustment has been taken
by the United States Steel Corpora

cent. AS matter of fact, the cut is
