HEFLIN CONTINUES. HIS ATTACK UPON EIDE RAJ RESERVE
Answers Statement Made By Publicity Director of the Democratic Committee
 Defending Board
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Burenu. The Age-HeraId.
 soc Davidson Building.


 Washington, February 16.-(spe- c!aE)--To checkmate the publicity of the democratic national committee, Senator J. Thomas Hefiin of Alabama, persistent critic of the federal re- serve board, its governor and its pol icies, has addressed statement "to the democratic newspapers of the United States"
 Some time ago, the democratic pub ltcity. written by the official public ity director Richard Lfnthicum. de- eiared that Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, had rendered the party and the country distinct service in de- lending the reserve system and in controVerting many misstatements and unfounded criticisms. :. The publicity defended the reserve sys- tenn as an outstanding achievement of the democratic administration It's defense ran counter to the position of Senator Heflin who is a democrat Thereupon, he issued his statement Ito the democratic newspapers of the United States" and requested that 1t be given publicity His statement follows:
 Under the direction of MT. Richard Linthicum of New York, director of publicity of the democratic national committee, there appeared on Janu- ary 27 in the weekly news article sent out to the democratic newspapers Of the country, a statement regarding the speech of Senator Glass defend ing the deflation policy of the fed eral reserve board That portion of the statement that would leave the impression that the democrats .n- dorse the destructive and drastic de- flation policy of the federal reserve board does violence to the truth and misrepresents the democratic atti- tude upon this particular subject.
 I praise the federal reserve bank ing system but I condemn and re- pudiate the deflation policy of the federal reserve board, which de- stroyed property values by the mil lions in the United States, paralyzed business, drove men into insane asylums. and caused others to kill themselves.
 That deflation policy was inspired by republican senator and carried out under direction of Governor Hard ing of the federal reserve board, who. according to an editorial in the Washington Times of April 12, 1921, supported the republican ticket in the national election of 1920"

PUZZITNG EUROPE.

a banker and the export manager of
a large oil company, recently returned
from a study of European conditions,
report that Germany is extremely busy.
They found many factories working at
night. and We're told that there are
hardly 10000 workmen idle in the
whole country.
"All Europe is a puzzle" said the
banker. J. G. Geddes. "a trip through
Europe raises more questions than it
answers. 1t creates confusion of i'm
pressions. There is so great a diversity
Of conditions. You see the Europeans
furiously going somewhere, but none can
say WHITTIER
This busy-ness of Germany was one
Of the puzzles. The Germans have or
ders on their books which will require
them to go into the worlds markets for
materials to a larger degree than they
have done. Out of this condition some
Improvement in international trade may
come"
Russia was another matter perplex-
ing everybody's mind.
Mr.. Geddes found the same situation
obtaining in Europe in regard to the
Genoa conference which Sir Philip
Gibbs reported aa holding in tho United
States-the men of business were dis
appointed at Americas failure to take
part in the conference They have the
feeling that the strong hand of America,
coming in from outside the muddle will
eventually be required before matters are
put in order. 1t does not appear to be
a desire for more money, but rather for
assistance in organizing from some dis
interested power.
