M'KENNA'S SPEECH GETS
APPROVAL IN LONDON
Regarded as Tactful State
nnent on Debts.

LONDON, Oct. (Associated Press) -
Reginald McKennas address before the
American Bankers Association conven-
ton in New York received much appre-
'ciative editorial comment here
The Daily Telegraph asserted that the
former Chancellor's statement would
smooth the path for Sir Robert Horne.
present Chancellor of the Exchequer.
when he arrives in America to discuss
the question of interallied debts with
American Treasury officials and the
Debt Funding Commission. The Morn
ing Post congratulated Mr.. McKenna on
the "dignified and tactful manner" in
which he handled the question of the
British debt to the United States II
said also that Mr.. McKenna's recon-
mendation of greater latitude for Ger
many will be approved in financial cir
cles here. That such course ought to
be combined with effective means for
obtaining some toll on the future pros
perity of Germany was a point made
by the Telegraph and other commenta-

sary from time to time for restoration
OF our international commece.
I'VE believe that the time has come
for the Government of our country TO
formulate the principles on which 1t will
be able to cooperate with other nations
to bring about the needed rehabilitation
of European countries and peace in the
world.
ITO this end we urge the Admlnistra-
tion to consider the advisability Of
promptly making its representative upon
the Reparation Commission an official Of
that body; we also recommend to Con-
gress that there be granted to the. Dabt
Funding Commission such further pow
ers. as will enable it to negotiate more
effectively with the foreign nations now
debtors of the United States.
Iv.-LABOR.
I'VE are glad to note an end of the
recent strikes in fundamental industries,
and we hope that the period of peace In
Industrial life will be used for the pur-
pose of careful Investigations to serve AS
a basis for a permanent method of ad-
tustment of the questions arising be-
tween employer and worker.
1T Is our belief that in those indus
tries whose continued operation is essen
tial to the wellbeing of the whole people
organized strikes should be regarded as
against the welfare of the State. We
make a sharp distinction between the
right of the worker to leave his employ
ment and the attempts made by fntimi-
daton to compel those employees to
leave their posts who otherwise would
be willing to work.
V-TRANSPORTAT
I'VE again urge upon the Government
and the people to support In every way
possible any measures which tend to inn
prove our transportation systems, either
on land or on sea. We believe that our
marine should be developed
through individual initiative and not be
placed under Government management,
and we approve of the efforts of the
President of the United States to bring
about such a development as is neces-
sary in order that our merchant marine
may serve our commerce in time of
peace and be protection to our country
n time OF war.
Therefore we recommend the modi-
'ication OF those sections of our ship
ping laws which make 1t impossible for
our ship owners to compete on an even
basis with ship owners of other coun-
.ries.
VI.-AGRICULTURE
I'VE are glad to note a steady i'm
'rovement in the condition of the
armer, and we congratulate the agri-
cultural community upon having organ
cations generally led by men who are
howing marked breadth of vision and
oundness of Judgment in respect to
he problems confronting this most i'm |
,ortant of our industries.
1--WE can assure the farmers and live |
took producers of the country that the |
'ankers will continue to lend them their
'est aid in the solution of their mani
old problems. which solution should be
ought through private enterprise and |
ot through Governmen aid We there
ore approve of the various endeavors |
'eing made by the farmers themselves
o increase the facilities for the orderly
of their products.
H.-FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
I'VE disapprove emphatically of the
ttacks made upon the Federal reserve
ystem and the members of the Federal
Reserve Board individually. We believe
hat there is no surer way of hindering
return to prosperity than by attempts !

ON NATIONAL ISSUES
Resolutions Call for More

and Less Regulation.

Labor Leaders to Cause
Costly Strikes.
PRAISE FARMERS HIGHLY
Thank Harding, McKenna and
McAdam and New York for
It's Hospitality.

On the Recommendation of it's COM
mittee on resolutions the American
Bankers Association, in its final gen.
eral session, adopted the following
declaration:
"The forty-eighth annual convention
of the American Bankers Association
composed of upward of 1900 delegates
and guests, representing every part of
the United States and every legitimate
type of financial institution of the United
October 2 to 5. 1922, to study the various
problems confronting the nation, espe-
cially those affecting the financial in
terests of the country. AS brief state
ment of the conclusions reached from
consideration of the addresses and dis
cussions at the various sessions, we sub
NIT these resolutions and command the
opinions and recommendations herein ex-
pressed to the thoughtful attention of the
Government and the people of the
country.
II. LEGISLATION.
I'VE continue to urge upon our Gov
ernment the elimination of all unneces-'
sary expenditures in order that taxes
weighing heavily upon business may be
still further reduced
I'VE disapprove of the continued at
tempts to establish further Government
commissions which tend more and more
to hamper the industrial and commercial
development of the country and in an
unnecessary way increase the cost of
doing business. For like reasons we rec
ommend the discontinuance of such ex-
isting commissions as experience may
prove unnecessary.
1--WE reiterate our position in regard
to tax exempt securities of any type be-
lievlng that 1t is highly undesirable that
further tax exemption should be author
lied by the Federal Government of any
of the political subdivisions OF the
country.
III. THE FOREIGN SITUATION.
1--WE call attention again to the seri-
BUSINESS of the foreign situation. cspe-
cially of Europe, which is affecting det-
rimentally our own conditions and pre-
venting even those industries in our
country which are not dependent upon
foreign trade from recovering fully from
the depression which otherwise would be
rapidly disappearing.
There is no possibility of a healthy
and normal situation In this country
until the nations with whom we trade
are able to pay us for what they import.
AS this can be done in the main only by
the means of exports to us. we trust
that the President will not hesitate TO
make use of the power granted him by
the new tariff law to make such adjust
ments in the schedules as may be neces-

Oscar T. Crosby Assails
McKenna Views on Mark

By Telegraph to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
To THE NEW YORK HERALD:
n OST extraordinary is the as
MI sumption appearing in Mr..
Reginald McKennas speech
to American bankers yesterday that
the fall of the German mark was
due solely to excessive foreign pay
ments. The furious printing and
circulating as money of fastastic
quantities of paper promises TO pay
would alone have produced a great
probation OF this paper. even if
Germany had no foreign payments
10 make.
A dangerous doctrine is implied
in Mr.. McKenna's omission to
stress this point hope 1t will re-
ceive enough discussion at the
bankers meeting to prevent harm
full results in our own country. now

greenback heresy.

Annual Report of the Chairman
of Educational Work.

The one great hindrance to the pu-
pills Of the Hillcrest school is the
lack of sidewalks. In bad weather 1t
is difficult for the children to get
back and forth. Notwithstanding this
inconvenience, the teachers report
very little delinquency. There are
three teachers with l40 pupils enroll
ed. Each room has its morning ex-
ercises, songs, stories and Bible stor-
les. General health is very good and
all seem very happy and in a pro-
gressive mood.
The Republic school comes to the
front with very modern conven-
fence, an Opportunity Room. We
have been reading of this advance
step being taken in many city schools
but we did not know that our Alma
schools were considering such a
move We found that they have such
at the Republic school and in this
room are twenty pupils. Two are re-
tarded and eighteen are subnormals.
They are given the mental test and
treated accordingly. A very efficient
teacher is placed over them and they
are given every attention.
In this school are enrolled 4lS pu-
pills with - teachers. There is little
or no truancy, the officer being call
ed only four times this year. Aver
age attendance for December was
1897. General health is very good
Each room has its morning exercise
songs, Bible stories and so on. Al
this school they have begun giving
milk to pupils this month.
Miss Dunlap informed me that the
greatest need at the Washington
school was Il new modern building
They have II teachers and an enroll
ment Of $50 pupils. General health
is good. Few subnormals. Not many
delinquents. Each room has its open
| ing exercises once a week.
Lincoln school is in need Of an OPP
portunity Room. Miss McLaren sale
that the general health is good anC
little or no delinquency. This schoo
has IL teachers and an enrolment o,
$50. Morning exercises in the sever
al rooms consisting of songs and th'
story period.
The High School had an enrollmen
at the beginning of the year Of 1873
On December /, 307. The average
attendance for December was 293
They have 16 teachers who have reg
ular classes and five who have on
study hour. There are 60 teachers il
all in the public schools.

turn in work for the money that
would be expended.

DETROIT PAPER
MAKES An OFFER
OFFERS AID THAT PROBABLY
WOULD MAKE YOUR SHOP
PING STILL HARDER.

If you are a reader Of the Detroit
Free Press you have no doubt receiv-
ed one of those large envelopes in
your paper, enclosing an announce
ment of the Free Press Personal
Shopping Service, and also enclosing
an order form for your use.
When one stops TO consider this
personal shopping service offered by
the Free Press only one clear con-
clusion can be arrived at. 1t Is
bunk. The Free Press offers nothing
that cannot be secured by direct pur-
chases from any reputable business
house in Detroit. You can secure this
same service from your own home
town business men and in case Of
exchanges, or goods that fail TO come
up to standard, as happens once IN
a great while, you will undoubtedly
find that your home merchant Will
stand more ready to make the eX-
change that is sought, and that he
will 90 out of his way a great deal
further in making good on articles
that fail to come up to standard, than
the firm in Detroit. BY making your
purchases through another party IT
becomes still more difficult naturally
TO get just what one wants.
The Free Press says do not send
money. Three places are left on the
order form for references. Perhaps
the grocer, the furniture dealer, the
meat dealer, and others who have
cheerfully extended credit to you for
years are the references that the De
troit business houses would like TO
have one send i'm.
Perhaps the Free Press and the De-
troit business houses feel that they
can give you the same personal at
tenton and that same satisfaction
will be forthcoming from them as
from the local merchants who make
it their own personal business to see
that your wants are filled, when You
deal with them personally.
Perhaps only pcrhaps-thc
Free Press and the Detroit business
houses VIII come to the aid OF youl
city if it has some big business pro-
ject TO put over and go into their
pockets just as deeply as the home
town merchant Will do in the effort
to build up the home city. Perhaps
they would-not.
1t is the home town merchants
who bend their efforts to secure new
industries and work 10 build up Tn.
community, thereby Increasing The
value of your property, naming
greater number Of jobs, enhancing
working conditions for every one.
Community effort VIII make th'
city larger and better. Money spen
in Detroit business houses, attracte,
there by the Free Press scheme o.
giving the same service that you cal
get from any business house tina
has reputation 10 sustain, whethe
in Detroit or in Alma, viii not buil'
up the home town.
At home you do not have TO fur
nish references such as the Ere
Press wants for Detroit bushes
houses. Your grocer knows you
Your furniture dealer knows you
The druggist knows you. The clothie
and drygoods merchants know yor
They know your reput alton and tn
value Of your word, and your honesty
In Detroit, evidently, whore the
want three references, you are re
garded with suspicion, until by thes
references you convince them tina
you are honest.
