Text of Act Auth09ising
Proposed Bank Merger

The proposed consolidation of the Yer
mont and Peoples National banks is un-
der authority of a federal act passed by
the 65th congress. This act allows such
consolidation with the approval of the
comptroller of the currency, provided
the terms and conditions are agreed upon
by the majority of the board of direc-
tors of each bank and ratified by at
least two-thirds of the stock of each.
The act further provides that stock
holders who have not voted for such con-
solidation may. after such consolidation
has been effected and approved by the
comptroller. give notice to the comp
troller that they dissent from the plan
and receive the value of their stock as
ascertained BY an appraisal. from which
there is an appeal in case the stock
holders are dissatisfied.
The text of chapter 200 of the act is
as follows
See. i. Be it enacted by the senate
and house of representatives of the
United States of America in congress as

tional banking associations located

of either existing bank. on such terms
and conditions as may be lawfully agreed

rectors of each association proposing

toothache. AS a result company nurses
employed by large corporations now
have to turn toothache sufferers away

Famous French Actors Coming.

Of France in its most modern mani

A Hint for the District Attorney

The creditors Of Dier & Co. have
the right idea. There are 1000 or
them and they have Joined forces in
an attempt to get everything they
can out Of the wreck. They have
taken legal steps not only against
DER but against everybody con-
nected with his brokerage house, be-
fore or during the Dier control.
The Dier failure was the worst
scandal that came to light as the
result of THE New YORK HERALD's
fight against shady methods in the
financial district. When Judge SHOE
MAKER of Philadelphia sent young
man to prison on Thursday for steal
ing $175,O00 and gambling it away
with Dier G. Co. and other concerns
Of the same character the Judge de-
clared that he could not understand
why the proprietors Of the bucket
shops were not brought UP on a
charge Of receiving stolen goods.
Neither can other people under
stand it. 1t is a good hint to Dis
trict Attorney BANToN. He ought to
start a criminal investigation of the
Dier and similar cases and go ahead
with 1t regardless of where 1t hits.

The Coast Whiskers Peril.

Out in Sacramento, in preparation
for a celebration Of the days OF '49,
the men are growing whiskers in
order to give the coming event a
realistic touch. Every style is being
nursed. There are goatees, Calhouns.
Dundrearies, sideburns and just
plain long boards.
This is all very well for Sacra-
mento, whose civic spirit is to be
admired, but suppose the passion for
whiskers spreads? A fever Of this
kind, once it crossed the Rocky Noun
tains, would be hard to check. The
possible peril of sweep OF the
whisker mania is something that de.
serves profound contemplation by our
best thinkers.
Consider the safety razor industry.
Millions Of holders and billions OF
blades are in stock or preparation.
Great factories hum with the indus
try that depends upon the smooth
face of America. Yet the news from
Sacramento conjures mp picture Of
the honest toiler turned away from
the door of the razor blade rolling
mills by a sign announcing that the
works is shut down because Of the
whisker craze.
Then there is the social aspect OF
the matter. Only one man in a thou
sand can wear whiskers gracefully.
Any general attempt on the part Of
a smooth faced nation to isolate
itself behind whiskers will result in
CONSERVATION at home and abroad.
But particularly at home, where the
wives have so much TO say regarding
the facial appearance of all the mem
bers of the family.
No nationwide whiskers!

SATURDAY, MARCH %, 1929.
The Treaty Ratified.

The United States Senate main
tanned the honor of America yester-
day in so handsomely ratifying the
four Power treaty. The pity of the
matter is that the vote was not unani-
nous.
BY its confirmation Of this treaty
the Senate has completed great
piece of international work, one Of
the greatest. in fact, of diplomatic
achievements of all time.
With the Anglo-Japanese treaty in
force as it was before the conference
met in Washington, it was not pos
sible for America to have that conf
dence in Britain she wished to have
and which she has to-day. And with
out this mutual confidence there
could not be the cordial cooperation
of the two great English speaking
nations that buttresses world peace
and world stability.
With the Anglo-Japanese treaty in
force and in the absence of getting
together with Japan for discussion
OF matters in the Pacific there was
nothing but American distrust Of the
Nippon Government, which felt the
same distrust of us.
Considered in all its achievements,
both in its agreements and in the
inestimab,e benefits springing from
informal intermingling and informal
talks, the Washington Conference
stands out as a vastly important In
ternational gathering. All America
can feel happy that small prejudices
and narrow partisanship did not
week the work of the conference in
the Senate. The Democrats Of the
Senate put patriotism beyond party
tactics, to their great honor.

Rewards Of Stock Breeding.

There is a fascination about the
breeding of live stock which brings
to those who engage in it a satisfac-
tion quite apart from the money
profits resulting from a happy blend.
ing Of blood lines. To have ones
judgment proved sound is often a
substantial reward in itself.
This satisfaction Is occasionally &C
companied by quick returns on the
investment. A comparatively small
outlay may yield profits SO great as
TO serve as a powerful incentive for
others to engage in like experiments.
The victory last Sunday of the two
year-old colt Frank s. in the SIS, 1000
Cuban Grand Prize for colts and
fillies bred in Cuba is a recent illus
tration of what may happen.
This youngster was bred and Is
owned by FRANK STErNHART OF Ha-
vana. On the advice Of a friend he
bought for few hundred dollars a
mare called Aunt Elsie, which was
a descendant in the paternal line Of
the renowned brood mare Mamie
Grey, the dam OF Domino. Following
the suggestion OF the same friend he
mated the mare with the American
bred stallion Solomon, a product OF
the Whitney stud in New Jersey, al
though IL was generally known that
the horse had been rejected because
OF slight defect in the wind by the
chief veterinary inspector Of the
Cuban Republic when he was offered
for sale at 5000.
Solomon had never taken part in
q race. but he was a fine horse and
a grandson OF the English Derby
winner Persimmon, while his dam
Stamina and granddam Endurance
by Right were among the great
mares OF the American turf a gen.
Grafton ago. II was argued that the
horse would improve the ordinary
horse product Of Cuba, which had
deteriorated through generations OF
inbreeding, but the advice was not
followed
II was to prove the correctness or
the American experts opinion that
the horse was placed in the stud BY
n. ID. BRowS, his present owner.
From the mating Of Solomon and
Aunt Elsie Frank S. was born, and
the colts quality is demonstrated by
his recent victory. Although II Is

Americas Trade Fields.
Possibilities of Commerce mt Home
and Abroad Compared.

To THE NEW York HERALD During
the war Europe's industries were SO de-
voted to the business OF war and after
the armistice their products were so
much in demand to supply civilian needs
that thair crippled machinery was un-
equal to the requirements of both for
eign and domestic trade, and that short
age we supplied at our prices.
Many OF our manufacturers were mis-
led into the belief that this temporary
condition was permanent, but now that
Europe IS back to normal many OF our
expanded industries find themselves i'm
potent to compete because Europe's wage
scales. though higher than before the
war, are relatively as much lower than
ours as they were before 1914.
These foreign markets are wiIl-o'-
the-wisp to which entirely too much wor-
shipful attention has been paid by the
crop Of internationalists which the af-
termath OF war has bred in this coun-
try They are so obsessed with the im-
portance Of the or 6 per cent. OF ex-
ported manufactures that they have
blinded themselves to the 95 per cent
consumed at home.
Secretary Hoover has the vision to
realize the potentalities Of our domes-
tic market. for in a recent statement
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission he said: "Our farmers, who
look to foreign markets for their sur
plus. should stop to consider that our
home consumption Of meat decreased
nearly seven pounds per capita in 1921,
mostly owing to unemployment, and that
n this decrease could be overcome 1t
would be worth more than a 35 per cent.
Increase in exports"
The paramount present need Is that
every man bring pressure to bear upon
our Congress to stop playing politics with
the Hessianizing soldier bonus to pro-
vide our railroads with the necessary
financial relief and to enact a protec-
tive tariff measure for which Congress
was called in extraordinary session
nearly year ago. GEORGE G, HETzEL.
