no time during the current dificu.tle5
has the banker desired or attempted
to "squccze" TIC farmer. On the con
tra1y, agriculture has been favored
over all other industries in The appor-
t:onment Of credit. Loans are still ont
standing which on o.ner lines would
long since have bccn foreclosed. Tic
banks, moreover, are anxious to in

Car Loadings Increase

Another increase in freight car load
ings took place during the weel, ended

car service division Of the American
hallway Association showed that 720.-
ST7 cars were loaded with revenue
freight during that period, or an in
crease Of 114.8S5 cars over the proceed
lng week. The total was an increase
OF o,O22 cars over the corresponding

A Disappointing Outlook

The hope that was raised in interna-
tional banking circles by the call OF
the financial conference at Genoa has
received little nourishment from sub
seQucnt developments. Participation
of the United States in the meeting
has been regarded as essential to its
success and yesterday il was intinated
that the decision on this point would
be adverse. The suggestion also ap-
pcared in the news from Washington
attributed to Italian sources that the
date OF the conference scheduled.
for early March, would have to be
postponed. The situation provided the
occasion for the remark by a banker
that "somc day the powers may get
together to settle the vital problems
OF world finance, but they certainly
seem to be having their troubles doing
it,"

Concerning Stock Exchange Reports

Reports were current yesterday that
the Stock Exchange authorities arc
considering the establishment of rule
making it mandatory for member firms
to submit monthly statement Of their
financial condition. They originated
apparently from the recent failures
which have proven disastrous to the
fortunes Of customers. A governor of
the exchange denied that any move in
volving the preparation Of monthly re-
ports was under way. He pointed out
that the activities Of the business con-
duct committee made it unnecessary
for such action to be taken, but added
that the so-called police body was con-
tinually on the lookout for ways and
means to protect those who intrust
their funds with firms which arc mem
bers of the exchange. Because of the
recent increase in the mortality OF
brokerage houses, several whose stand
ing is sound have expressed the wish
to publish a financial statement of
their condition.

Anxious German Ambassadors
Calls on Hughes and Asks
That Americans Remain
ACT AS BUFFER TO FRENCH
Troops Help Curb lmperialistic
Designs and viii Come Back
When Told Peace Is Safe
By Universal Service

American troops will remain in
definitely on the Rhine, where
they serve as q check on Euro
pean imperialistic designs and ma
tional rivalries, it was stated au-
.thoritatively in Administration cir
ieles yesterday.
GERMAN ENVOY CALLS.
A statement which SET. forth the
views held at the White House. fol.
lowed Immediately upon a call at
the State Department by DR.. Otto
wiedfeldt, German ambassador, who
asked Secretary OF State Hughes for
information relative to the report
that the troops would be withdrawn
shortly.
The President, it may be said
authoritatively. agrees that the
American detachment of 1900 Of.
fcers and men should be brought
back at the earliest practicable date.
At the same time he is reluctant to
ignore constant appeals from over
seas that the troops remain.
ALL NATIONS ANXIOUS.
These appeals have reached the
President from all the nations in
volved. The anxiety Of the Ger
man ambassador yesterday was
typical OF the German attitude.
Germany would gladly pay the
cost of the American troops for the
protection they afford against
French aspirations.
Great Britain and Belgium also
have urged upon the United
States that American troops be
retained. The British feel that the
American detachment has Il re-
straiuing influence on both the
French and the Germans. With
American troops gone, it IL as
serted. France would not be so
reluctant to seize additional Ger
man territory. So long, however,
AS they face participation b.
both American and British troops,
tho French hesitate to enforce
the so-called sanctions"
GOOD INFLUENCE.
/! President Harding believes the
Americans have proven a helpful
influence. They have served as
q buffer in the European post.
war struggle.
4, Under such circumstances. the
President therefore has found It
difficult to effect their complete
withdrawal without appearing to
make an important diplomatic
gesture that might easily be mis-
interpreted, with untoward re-
suits.
{: As soon as they can be with.
drawn without seeming to reveal
an actually non-existent American
attitude toward European problems.
the American troops will be
ordered home.
