 due the bank The open account depostors were paid in full long time ago. Owners of the Jefferson County bank building have become repossessed of their handsome prop erty under a refinaneing plan approved by the state bank superintendent. The Jeffer- son County Savings bank was historic Birmingham institution and it Is gratifying to have its financial obligations cared for and out of the way without loss to patrons. It is credit to the Alabama banking laws and their supervision that bank failures no longer stand for heavy losses to depostors, but that losses are prevented by prompt action in closing banks and putting them through the liquidating process as soon as their affairs become involved. This has added immeasurably to the safety of the banks and to the popular confidence in them.

NOT AN ILLEGAL MERGER

The government will not interfere in the proposed acquisition of the Morris com pany's physical assets by Armour Go. because it has no authority to prevent what is, on it's face, an open purchase ana not a merger. This is the decision reached by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace after comforting with President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty. Other corpo- rations have, from time to time, acquired by purchase smaller concerns, policy against which there appeared to be no legal obstacles, as in the case of telephone and telegraph companies. According to the yards act contains no provisions which spe- officially prohibit the purchase by one packer of the plants of another packer. The act is designed to regulate the packing industry and not to place any restrictions on legiti- mate business transactions, such as the Armour Morris deal is said to be.
 In his statement to the Secretary of Agriculture, MT. Daugherty said: "The language of the packers and stockyards act makes it clear to me that the act does not require you to take any formal action unless you have reason to believe that the law has been violated or is being violated. To con stitute violation of the law within the meaning of this act, there must be some thing more than mere statement of what a person or corporation contemplates." decision of the supreme court Interpreting the act, rendered by Chief Justice Taft, said "Its provisions are carefully drawn to apply only to those practices and Instructions which in the judgment of Congress are likely to affect interstate commerce pre- judicially"
 If it should later develop, however, that the Armour purchase is in restraint of trade and not for the purpose of effecting greater economies in operations from which the public may hope to benefit, the government has ample legal authority to take such steps as may be necessary to protect the public's interests and prevent any prejudicial effect on interstate commerce. It is implied that this authority will be exerted if the law is violated.

tent, the American governments foreign policy. Although Clemenceau professed to see in President Harding's address to Con- gress suggestion by which America might establish relations with Europe on some such basis as the four-power treaty, the fact that France has not yet ratified the treaty has initiated against his appeals for American support. The formation of an alliance be- tween the United States, France and Eng land, which was the object of his visit, is no more likely now than it was before his ar rival. So far as the tripartite alliance is concerned, Clemenceau's mission failed. Nevertheless, he has centered attention on the problem of Europe and emphasized the fact that events abroad are rapidly forcing the American government to definite participation in European affairs, not so much to aid France alone as all the nations who have been unable to adjust their differ ences and get back on peace basis.

FLOODS A PRESENT MENACE

The urgent need of flood control for the Mississippi is shown by the plight of thou sands of farmers, whose property is being destroyed and whose homes arc swept away. While Congress deliberates over spending money for their protection, they are facing actual privation and danger. member of a Louisiana delegation told the House flood control committee, in its hearings on the Mississippi river improvement bill: "Wait three more years and we won't need any help. It will be too late then" The com mittee was informed that in one Louisiana parish five hundred homes have been car ried away this year by the backwaters of the Mississippi and many farmers have been compelled to surrender their land because they can no longer pay the taxes.
 Congress should realize that this problem is not theoretical but that the situation IS such that prompt relief is imperative. Not only are Individuals suffering heavy prop erty loss, but work done by the govern ment itself, at great expense, is endangered by floods which are raising the bed of the river and destroying terminals. Permanent flood control will make the Mississippi far greater asset to the nation for transporting river cargoes and will also insure the safety of millions of people who live along it's banks. It involves humane as well as eco homie considerations.

ANOTHER FUTILE CONFERENCE

The allied premier's conference in Lon don was as barren of results as it's prede- cessors. Little was accomplished save an agreement to meet again, with the possibil- ity that the endless wrangle over reparations will prove another stumbling block to set clement. Apparently, the collapse is greater than was at first supposed Premier Bonar Law took occasion in the House of Com- mons to counteract the impression that the government had receded entirely from the Balfour note. It is indicated that Great Britain will not refuse to consider any re- mission of the war debt, but wants it under- stood that she will put her own interests first and is not influenced by the desire merely to be generous.
 Great Britain wants to re-establish trade and commerce. stabilize international ex- change and end allied disputes over repara- tions. This may be selfishness on her part, but it is the way to solve Europe's problems. Not until these objects are obtained can any progress be made toward stablization. If Great Britain is willing to make sacrifices she is justified in asking that the other allies sacrifice some of their interests Evidently there will be no cancellation of war debts by Great Britain unless there IS something to be gained by such policy. British taxpayers would never agree to shoulder additional burdens without the assurance of benefiting front concessions made by the other allies. Neither would economic stability be restored if Great Britain cancelled the debts owed her and France insisted on coercive measures to collect large indemnity from Germany.

NO NEED TO MOVE AUBURN

The proposal to remove the Alabama Polytechnic Institute from Auburn to Mont gomery does not appear to be supported by any considerable sentiment. On the con- trary, it is evident that there is very wide and emphatic sentiment against it. Unless there is some great and compelling reason therefor, it is always unwise to move a col lege from one locality to another Many times an institution depends upon its local name for large proportion of it's appeal The very name Auburn has come to stand more and more for definite function in the minds of the people. For half century the name has been developing its meaning as the designation of technical and agri- cultural school of high merit. It is an asset that the state cannot lightly forego.
 In it's present location the school is me- ridional. It stands in the position where two kinds of agriculture meet, the cotton and general crop growing of middle and north Alabama, and the truck and fruit-growing of middle and south Alabama. It is as we'll suited as any section of the state for the production of livestock and training in this industry. Its climate permits agricultural activity the year around, and practical demonstration of agricultural theory is alto gether feasible. The comparative isolation of Auburn is in itself commendable fea- ture, for there is no lure of large cities to divert the students attention from his studies. There is no well-founded reason for removing the school to another locality and many substantial reason for leaving it where it is, adding such needed equip ment and housing as it's growth demands. Auburn is the states most important agri- cultural asset. Its welfare should be guard ed most jealously.

AGAINST RECKLESS DRIVING
the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 It certainly is deplorable the many serious automobile accidents that occur right here in the city, most of which could be avoided by slower and more careful driving. With the exception of emergency trips, and those would apply, largely, to physicians and am- balances, there is simply no necessity of driving twenty, thirty and forty miles an hour right on the main and crowded streets. Sometimes "out our way" it is almost i'm possible for pedestrians to cross the avenue because of the many rapidly and recklessly driven automobiles. I doubt very much if there was ever a person run down in the city by a car going at speed of ten mil IS or less. Now, just stop, look and listen, as the railroad sign reads. There is time coming, I fear, when Birmingham will be shocked and grieved as never before as d result of fast or reckless driving.
 The speeder is menace to the public, l
 wean,
 Acting like demon sometimes he is seen Driving along like he owned the whole
 world,
 Until into eternity he is instantly hurled.
