FORD OFFER TABLED

It has been practically decided by Senators and members of Congress to postpone until next winter final decision on the offers of Henry Ford and others to take over the Gov ernment property at Muscle Shoals. The press of legislation in both Houses precludes the debate on the subject to which it's importance entities it. It is the intention, however, to in troduce at once a bill appropriating funds that will enable the Government to proceed this summer with the work of completing the Wilson dam The joint Congressional commit tee that recently visited the spot were of the opinion that further deterioration should not be permitted and that work should be re- sumcd at an early date. Thus nothing will be lost through postponement of the proposi- tions to dispose of the property

CALL FARLEY Of
BANKERS IS IDEA
Suggestion Made to Harding That
Bankers from World Meet In
Washington TO untange
Maze OF Europe.
(By The United Prcss.)

Washington, Nay 23.- Suggestion
that an international conference OF
bankers be called in Washington TO
devise means of untangllng the econ'
omlc maze In Europe has been made
TO President Harding by certain ad-
visers. II became known today.
While the presidents attitude on
such a conference has not been di-
vulged II is thought by those in close
touch with the administration that
he will give the suggestion careful
consideration.
The meeting would be another
Washington conference with the
subject shifted from executive arma-
ments to economic ills which are bur
dening the world, according to the
plan of those who are pushing the
movement.
The failure OF the Genoa confer
ence to arrive at any practical solu-
tion of the present difficulties is said
to have given renewed stimulus TO
the idea and to have more definitely
settled this means as the real path
to economic rehabilitation.
Old world politics, so prevalent at
Genoa, would be missing u the con-
ference we're held here.
Several outstanding factors, new
realized both in Europe and this coun-
try, are said to have given rise to
the plan suggested. Among them
are:
IA serious economic condition
exists in Europe and the European
powers have proven themselves un-
able to handle II.
2.-They need financial aid badly
and will agree to almost any con-
ditions to get it frcm the United
States which now holds the money
bags of the world
3.-This country has a personal in
terest in the billions of European
debts and could force provisions for
its payment at such conference
while arranging at the same time
for aid to the nations.

DECLARE CHURCH
To SAVE WORLD.

Evanston, ILL.,, May 23-The church
must stem the tide of capitalism or
civilization Is doomed, Professor
John II. Gray, noted economic auth
ority, declared today in opening the
conference on Christianity and the
economic order here.
The conference, called by the
Methodist Episcopal church was at
tended by 200 laymen and ministers
of the church. Bishop Francis j..
Mcconnell, whose report to the In
terchurch World Movement on labor
conditions in the steel industry,
caused a sensation, presided
Professor Gray declared the ques.
ton of whether a firm stand by the
church against capitalism would
lesson funds for its support, was
beside the point"
"It is undesirable that the church
should have funds, if they are to be
used, to strengthen and support in
justice" he declared.
Taking the situation in the four
great basic industries of STEEL coal,
oil and railroads, Prof. Gray said:
Social control must be exercised
over those industries. Antitrust
laws have proven futile. Trusts
never before were so numerous,
noWerful Or iniuriOus as today. Steel
holds the key to the situation"

j. s. SHOULD NOT

immigration Should Be curbed Says
Bankers President; Justified
Inquiring If Can Handle
Foreigners.
(By The United Pros J

Oklahoma City, May 23.-United
States should not be used as a
dumping ground for jail birds, an
archists and malcontents OF the old
world.
immigration should be curbed par
ticularly in respect to the kind of
people allowed to come in. This Is
the opinion of Thomas b. McAdams,
president of the American Bankers
Association, who today addressed
the convention of the Oklahoma
State Bankers association.
"The time has come when we are
at least justified in inquiring if we
can assimilate as many foreigners
as seek admission to the United
States McAdams declared
American people should give
greater attention to the class Of
immigrants they admit to this coun-
try.
eve must give every considera-
tion as to whether we are too gen
erous in granting suffrage to those
who come here"
Over 1900 bankers from all points
Of the state are attending the con-
vention.
McAdams in his address also
strongly defended the federal reserve
system.
The convention was called to order
by d. S. Wolfinger, president Of the
association. ID. w. Hogan, president
Of the Oklahoma Clearing House As
sociation, delivered an address Of
welcome.
Reports Of officers for the past
year were submitted showing sub
stantiaI growth of the association
At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the state bankers resolu-
tion was passed requesting the attor-
ney general to institute suits against
banks that have been converted into
national institutions recently to make
them pay their share to the guaranty
fund of the total amount due deposit
tors of failed state banks.

arrests were In the outlying district
of Ulster.
Several hundred Sim Feiners were
marched away TO a secret intern
ment camp In the hills. Numerous
officials and ring leaders were TAX

republicans.
Strangely enough no serious out
breaks were reported early today
following the nights roundup.
Works With Precision.
The military dragnet worked with
precision in the quarters of Belfast
where the wanted men were cap
tured. one end or street was
blocked off with motor lorries,
bristling with the rifles of tin-hatted
troopers. A lorry and an armored
car then started from the other end
of the street, proceeding from house
to house, calling out the Sim Fem
ers who were wanted. This proceed.
ure was carried throughout tho city.
Scores of lorries. some with trail
ers loaded with captives, were used
in the raids here
Although the great roundup was
directed primarily against republican
gunner, officials here today adj
mitted they had taken comparative
ly peaceful but more accessible
leaders of Sim Fein organizations
in an effort to stamp out the move
ment in Ulster.
Small villages were cleaned up
first, then large towns were tackled
by the military.
