The McCarthy weekly news., 1923-11-10

McCarhthy's progress is slow an d steady, not at all meoteric or dazzling, but of nature that will never mean retrogression as did the boom period during and immediately after the Shu- shanna stampede. The highest grade copper mines in America are four miles away, the most important hy- draulic mining district in Alaska, accor ding to the Geological Survey, lies 20 miles in another direction, while miles and miles of land suitable for cultiva tion extend down the valley.
 It seems that the district offers a good chance for any energetic person who wishes to get ahead.

81 states-Urses Branch
Power.

Washington. THE Federal Re-
serve system is doomed to destruc-
ton unless Congress puts national
banks on a parity with State
banks, members Of the system in
the matter of branch banking,
Comptroller of the Currency
Dawes declared in his annual
report, just submitted to Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Mellon.
Substitution Of privately owned
and highly centralized financial con-
troll of the banking machinery Of the
United States for the Federal Reserve
system is inevitable unless this is
done, Dawes declared.
To avert the danger, Dawes recon-
mended Congress should pass law
granting national banks the power to
operate branches, with proviso def
nitely forbidding the establishment Of
branches by national banks in those
localities where such privileges are
forbidden to State banks and trust
companies.
The undesirable alternative, Dawes
declared, is to forbid State banks in
ing.
The currency comptroller gave an
optimistic picture of the condition Of
American banks generally. The bank
ing system of the country is abundant
ly able to meet the financial demands
Of commercial and industrial enter
prises in this era Of prosperity, he
said.
Resources of the 30,178 banks in the
country on June 80, the end Of the
past fiscal year, totaled $4,000, 911, 900,
an increase Of $685., $4,000 during
the fiscal year.
OF these resources 21,511, 766, 900,
or about 40 per cent, was concen.
trated in the S.239 banks of the ma
tional banking system. while s32523,-
$4,000, or so per cent, was held by
the 21.939 State banks. mutual and
stock savings banks, loan and trust
companies and private banks.
OF this huge total, $3O,416. SIT 900
was at work as loans and discounts,
while $13,672,547,OOo was invested in
Government, municipal, railroad and
public utility bonds.
Actual deposits in the banking sys-
tenn which provided the money for
these purposes totaled, on June 80,
sac. 4,195. 900.

MARRIAGE COSTLY VENTURE.
American Protests When Charged $50
For License In Germany.

For License In Germany
Berlin ANY foreigner who wants
to get married in Germany these days
is hit something Of a staggering finan-
cial blow right at the outset when he
goes to get his license. That docu-
ment, in the process Of the readjust-
ment of schedules and prices now go
ing on, has become one of the most
expensive things in the country.
An American, who planned to be
married during the holidays, applied
for license three weeks ago and de-
posted his passport and other re-
quired credentials with the Berlin
bureau officials. He was notified that
the license would cost him 1876 gold
marks, or about $36.
On the ground that the charge is ex-
orbitant the American is appealing to
the higher officials.

FRANCE ECCEPTSs

Announces Readiness to Start
Negotiations
BELGIUM CoNCURs IN STEP
Germany Warned Against Hope OF
Revising Treaty OF Versailles
French Limita-
tions.
BELGIUM CONCURs IN STEP

Paris.-The French Govern
ment has accepted, with limita-
tions, the German proposals sub
mitted by Herr Won Hoesch,
Charge d'Affaires, for negotiations
with France and Belgium on the
Ruhr and Rhineland questions.
The Belgium Government, it is Off
cially announced here, is in accord
with France on the principle OF the
response to the German communica-
ton. The reply was handed to Herr
Won Hoesch, and an official summary
issued by the Government.
1t is pointed out that as the German
Government has already made known
the import Of its proposals, there was
no need to delay publication Of the
gist of the French reply.
Passive resistance having apparent
ly ceased in the Ruhr, Premier Poin-
care declares that he is always ready
to confer with an official representa-
tive of the German Government on all
questions which this Governmen.
wishes to bring before him; at the
same time he remarks that he regards
such questions as of equal interest to
the Allies, and therefore the French
Government reserves the right of con-
certing with them before replying.
With respect to reparations, the
French Government, as it has fire.
quently declared, will never consent to
take that question out of the hands of
the Reparation Commission nor con-
slider any regulation not strictly con-
forming with the Treaty Of Versailles.
The commission, adds M. Poincare,
will continue to function, with all the
powers conferred upon it and without
its rights, SO far as relates to Ger
many, being diminished in any pos.
sible manner.
THE exchange Of ideas proposed by
Germany, to which the French Govern
ment does not refuse to lend ITSELF"
continues the reply, cannot therefore
have for its object infringement of the
prerogatives of this commission, nor
can it be preparatory step, direct or
indirect, for revision of the treaty"
Concerning the Rhineland and the
Ruhr, the reply says, the French Gov
eminent has nothing to change in the
views already set forth; it cannot
agree to take matters out of the hands
of the Franco-Belgian authorities in
the Ruhr or the Interallied High Com
mission in the other occupied terri
tories.
AS the establishment of a modus
vivendi in either of these regions, M.
Poincare is fully disposed to listen to
suggestions from the Berlin Govern
ment and communicate them. If cir
cumstances admit, with his opinion to
competent authority. He will, not
ably, accept any discussion on pro-
longation of the agreements with the
industrialists, the re-establishment Of
economic life and administrative ques-
lions, it being understood that France
maintains her full right not to accept

PEELED except after individual exam
