CHARLESTON. W. Va, Jan. A.
Governor z. F. Morgan, answering Il
request of United States Senator How
ard Sutherland for information con
corning reports that men, women and
children in certain West Virginia min
ing communities were destitute and in
a starving conditian,' today denied
that the reports were true.

Senator Sutherland. Insofar as l have

cations which I caused to be initiated

as q result of a depression in the coal
industry. and differences arising from
the maintenance of contracts between
employers and employees"
1T is true" continued Governor
Morgan, that scattering cases of pow

WASHINGI ON, Jan. 4.-The estab-
lishment of European federal re-
serve bank providing a gold-secured
currency and linked inseparable with
the American reserve system, from
which it would draw its resources and
reserves, was advocated today by Sen
ator Owen, Democrat, Oklohamo, as a
basic move toward restoration of
stable economic conditions throughout
the world.
In an extensive speech in the SEN
ate in which he dealt comprehensively
with postwar conditions, the Okla
homa senator suggested in connection
with the proposed reserve bank the
following proposals for American aid
in rehabilitation:
l. That we should postpone the fl
nal payment of the World war debt in
the United States by extending the
payment over 80 years; that we
should not for 10 years collect any
amount under the sinking fund.
2. That in arranging the payment
of Europes debt to the United States
we should extend time to Europe nee
essary to enable them to readjust
their affairs and regain their produc-
tive power, and that we should not
for 10 years demand of them the pay
ment of interest due, but allow it to
merge with the principal.
3. That we should put the interest
rate at three per cent of Europe's
debt to the United States.
Submits Bill
Mr.. Owen at the same time submit
ted to the senate bill to amend the
federal reserve act so that establish
ment of the foreign banks would be
possible. He proposed that the Euro
pean bank should be owned by the re-
serve system of the United States and
that from the twelve banks here it
should draw a total of 100000, 600 in
gold as reserve. This, he claimed,
would in no way impair the reserves
or resources of the American institu-
tons yet it would enable the foreign
banks to issue S2,500,000,000 in notes,
backed up by gold as well as 100 per
cent commodity bills.
| Secured currency is the sorest need
! of European trade at present, the Ok
! lahoma senator declared, adding that
| If the United States provide such gold
F! backed medium of circulation and then

would do much toward reviving the
