 For VisitOf Prince Edward
With Cherry Trees in Full Bloom, Land of Nippon Prepares For Festivities of Welcome to Prince of British Realm.

Tokio, April 14 - The Prince of Wales is visiting Japan in cherry blossom time. the most delightful sea- son of this Land of Sunrise" Some of the ceremonies which will attend his tour will be made more attractive by the festivities in which the Japan csc indulge during. this time when all Japan puts on its lovelest appear ance.
 As soon as the cherry buds begin to open the whole country including even the city streets is transformed into a fairy land enticing all it's people into the open or for the national fete of flower visits.
 In this ser eon the holiday spirit is abroad and ,--I who can give them selves up to gaiety. The people dressed in their best or in fantastic costumes that match their feelings and keep festival all day long under the pink-white blossoms
 The genial influence of the season warns everyone into joviality and their buoyant spirit finds expression in joyous festivals. These occasions of popular rejoicing which follow one another through the spring are ex- cellent opportunities for the British Prince to see the Japanese at play.
 The Imperial Garden Party or cherry party is one of the two out standing social functions of the year in Japan. Government officials, prominent business meen, merchants, social workers and distinguished for eign visitors are guests of the Elm peror and Empress on this occasion and it is expected that the Prince of Wales will attend the function this year.
 The party is held when the cherry blossom is at its best in the imperial garden at Shinjiku, suburb. of Tokio where the spacious lawns decked out with buds of spring flow ecs and blossoming trees and shrubs provide ample accommodation for a big assemblage.
 A welcome innovation of recent years has been the removal of all re- strictions on women's dress. Hereto fore a regulation that women could appear only in European costume or in ancient court dress prevented many from accepting the imperial invita- tion.

MORE CREDIT FOR U. 5,
 BUSINESS IS PROBLEM
But Federal Reserve Board Will Not Seek To Force
 Frozen Loans.

Washington, April Is - Americas s credit problem this year is one of larger financing for American busi- ness. There also is presented the question of providing aid to shippers who want to move Americas surplus products abroad.
 The Federal Reserve Boards atu- tude is that there must of necessity be more extended use of credit in dom estic affairs
 Spring finds business and industry picking up, after tagging during a winter characterized by more or less unevenness in business relationships.
 There still exists. as result of the differences between demand and prices, large amounts of so-called ''frozen'' loans, or obligations which borrowers are not ready to pay at the banks.
 Officials directing the reserve sys- tenn refrain from bringing pressure to force liquidation of such loans. On the contrary, there is a disposi- tion to encourage the extension of these credits. especially to farmers, or in lines of business and industry where prices and costs have been re- vised extensively.
 Need Extended Credits
 It is recognized by Reserve Bank officials that unless judicious exten- sion of credits to farmers and others is made, essential industries will be hampered in the years operations.
 Bankers now find that it is conser- vatfve to carry old credits for longer periods, with the purpose of Hqui- dating them through the proceeds of new business operations.
 Officials of the Federal Reserve Board, in advice to member banks of the Reserve System, strongly empha-

size that all industrial enterprises must be carried by banks when the business has the element of sound- ness This is to insure the rapid adaptation to new conditions grow ing out of readjustment.
 Government officials today were sanguine that spring business will tries of a permanent character. Un- employment has been considerably reduced. It is expected to become less serious in the coming months.
 Some Encouraging Signs
 An encouraging sign is observed in the continued steady demand over the United States for goods, espe- CTS to spend freely denotes that al though many have been idle 3, large number of this class have been able to buy their needs sout of reserve cash laid by in savings from former days.

 Briefly, the financial prospects. as reflected in the attitude of banks in reports to Washington show a pur- pose to give constructive" aid to business. This is being done without sacrificing any of the conservative methods of banking It will mean an enlargement of bank accommoda- tions, but will bring greater ease in the money market and thus speed up business and economic development.
