HELM WOULD REPEAL
CHANGE IN FEDERAL
RESERVE BANK SYSTEM


WASHINGTON, Tan. 27.--RepeaI of
the amendment made in 1920 to the
federal reserve act permitting banks
to charge what is commonly known
as a progressive interest rate, was
proposed in bill introduced today
by Senator Heflin. democrat, Ala
bama.
Senator Helm declared operations
under the amendment had contrib
uted to agricultural distress in the
south and west, and asked that his
bill go to the agriculture commit
tee. Chairman Mclean of the bank
ing committee objected. After some
discussion an agreement was reached
to let the bill lie on the table until
Monday, when vote will be taken
on the question of reference.
In reply to Senator Smoot. repub
lican, Utah, who expressed doubt as
to whether there had been any ma
terial increase of interest rates by
federal reserve banks, Senator Hef-
lin read a letter from John Shelton
Williams, former comptroller of the
ments were made of interest rates
charged by federal reserve banks in
the Atlanta district. This letter de-
monstrated, Senator Helm claimed,
that the banks in the district were
hard pressed to take care of their
customers at the time and the federal
reserve system applied the lash" to
them, and gave notice that the fed
eral reserve board did not want any
loans at all on agricultural products.

AT NEAR EAST PARLEYI

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-American
observers at the Lausanne confer
ence, although doing everything in
their power to represent justice for
the oppressed and the rights of hui
mainly. are hopelessly handicapped
by American official aloofness,"
Charles v. Vic1ery, general secretary
of the Near East relief. declared to-
day upon his return from Greece.
Their efforts are in vain" he de-
clared, because the United States re-
fuses to authorize full membership
in conference that concerns vitality
the welfare and peace of the whole
world"
Mr.. Vickery said that everyone at
the conference recognized that Tur-
key, although vanquished in the late
war, now is debating peace terms to
the allies.
Greece" said Mr.. vickery, al
though suffering from a great mill
tary defeat, is proving herself one
of the biggest-hearted little nations
of the world" The Near East secre-
tary visited refugee and orphanage
centers throughout Greece, and
learned that the nation despite
grinding poverty" was doing for hui
manfty, that which American, Eng
land, France and other great nations
refuse to do"
In addition to million. refugees
of her own race" he said, "she is
giving haven to tens of thousands OF
destitute Armenians and others who
have been driven from their ances-
trial homes in Asia Minor.

fore accepted so great a burden of
destitute, refugee immigrants"

ILAW AUTHORITIES SUBJECT Of STUDY.
Harvard Professor Says Inter-
national Organization Fa-
ciIitateS Work of Com
piling Statutes

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The League
of Nations, by providing permanent
machinery for settlement of interna
tional legal questions as they arise,
has eliminated the need for codifica
ton of. international law, Manley o.
Hudson, professor at the Harvard law
school, declared today in an address
before the second annual convention
of the American branch of the Inter-
national Law association.
Professor Hudson declared that the
progress of cCdification of interna-
tional law has proved too slow and
impracticable as compared with the
functional treatment of such matters
created by the league.
This functional dealing with inter-
national affairs" he said, lis more
practicable if permanent machinery is
in existence to deal with the questions
as they arise from time tc time.
such special provision for inter
national legislation is the kind of
eodification which is practicable,
which is actually under way through
the agency of the League of Nations,
and which is the hope for interna-
tiGnal law of the future.
Praises League
I'VE must recognize such legisla-
ton as n part of our law, step which
our writer's too often neglect. We.
must judge existing international
machinery by it's capacity for con-
tributing to this process of functional
international legislation.
THE progress of codification of In
ternational law has been too slow.
THE League of Nations has given
us a large body of new law in short
space of three years. 1t has given
us first of all the permanent court of
international justice, a legislative adj
vance impossible before the league
was established.
TT has given us also 16 interna-
tional labor treaties now in process
Ct ratification, which have already
received no less than so notifications.
ut has given us the statute of free
dom of transit, another on freedom
of communications.
at has given us legislation affect
ing opium, white slave traffic. pro-
tecticn of minorities and the mandates
in addition to the special local legis-
lation rs to the Aaland Islands, Upper
Silesia and Austrian finance"

BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 27.-After making
the seasons new high and selling above
29c the first part of the week, cotton was
depressed over 100 points in the last two
days from the high levels and to a loss
of about rs points OF $3.50 per bale for the
week. The decline was ascribed by large
commission houses as due to the continued
demand and the breaking of the Texas
drought while many claim the sharp re
action was no. more than a natural one
and say fundamentals are as bullsh now
as they were the first of the week and
expect the decline only to be temporary
one. The weekend figures were not
good as had been hoped for by the bulls;
however. the southern consumption is rum
ming ahead of last year.

DEMAND FOR STAMPS
GREATEST IN HISTORY


WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The big
gest demand for stamps and other
postal stamper paper in history is
in full swing, and is taken by the
post office department as an indi-
cation of healthier business condi-
tons
A billion more stamps were issued
in the last six months than in that
period a year ago, and values showed
a S30,000,000 increase, leading postal
officials to believe there will be no
deficit from postal operations when
the fiscal year closes June 30. A
year ago the deficit was $50, S15, 400
orders for postal cards in carload
lots have been received, the demand
being larger than ever before for
a similar period.

of the country will begin the study
of transportation problems, with the
design CT ultimately presenting a
comprehensive plan Of betterment for
the United States Chamber of Com
MERGE announced today.
Following meetings of transport

Causes Concern
There is great concern among all
sections of American industry-farm-
ing, mining, manufacturing distribu-
tion-over the question of adequate
transportation fer our ever-increas-
ing national commerce" declared a
statement issued after the meeting.
There is necessity for the early
adoption of national transportation
policy which shall provide for fur
Their expansion Of commerce.
Business men feel that there must
be established proper relation of
service between railroads and water
ways and motor transport. But beyond
that, business men feel there must
be developed a national treatment of
railroads which will protect a proper
public interest and will also restore
investing confidence by which the
means Of expanding facilities can be
provided and restored in railroad
management, a field which will at
tract a grade Of business ability its
Importance requires"
The resolution declares the general
committee will study the following
five problems: Governmental rela

motor transport and use of highways,
and the proper coordination of wa
terway service. The department of

THREE OF STAPLES
By Associated Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-Predictions
that world shipments for the week
would show large total influenced
a decline tooay in the wheat market
here. The close was heavy, Nc to
&c net lower, with May st.16ss q
1.161s and July $1.11A. Corn fin
ished NC to 1zc down, oats I'M
changed to %@Ac off and pro-
visions at a setback of &c to 12c.
1t was estima ted that world wheat
shipments would be 100000 bush
els in excess of the precious weeks
total, anu this, together with depres-
sion in foreign exchange rates, led
to rather free se'lin. at the start.
Demand was limited, and with rain
and snow over much of the domestic
winter crop territory, general senti
ment was Learish. Sui sequently re-
ports that Argentine producers were
showing unwillingness to sell, and
that prices in Argentina were deemed
unsatisfactory in Wow of ths def
cient yield led to a moderate rally,
but the effect failed to last.
Export Demand Slow
Export demand for wheat was again
reported as slow, altEe Ugh in some
quarters belief was expressed that
the amount was larger than was
given out. Increased weakness of the
market mar the. end of the day was
also ASSOCIATED with the fact that pri-
mary receipts continued to surpass
in volume the arrivals a year ago. In
this connection 1t was especially not
ed that the totals at Minneapolis and
Duluth this week wer1 more than
doubled as compared with last year.
Corn and oats followed wheat. Ad-
vices. however, that the Argentine
corn crop had been seriously dam
aged by drouth were an evident
steadying influence.
Prospects of continued liberal re-
ceipts of hogs weakened provisions.

OF WEEK ON CURB

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The greatest
interest in the trading during the

Tuesday following the break of over
40 points in Fisher Body on the New
York Stock exchange. Durant Mo-
tors of Delaware on Tuesday fell
frorl high of 81 on Monday to So
and the Indiana shares dropped from
"a to 10. These losses unsettled trad
ing in the industrial issues generally.
In the last half of the week, how
ever, there was a reverse movement,
carrying Durant Motors of Delaware
up to "A in yesterdays trading, and
tn Indiana shares moved back to %.
Last night the Durant company an
nounced that it will pay all holders
of what are called units to purchase
Fisher Body sotck al $40 per unit, the
full amount paid on thonse units, plus
So, equivalent to $215 per share on
Fisher Body stock.
Motors Steady
Other motor stocks showed a steady
tone following the unsettlement early
in the week Good ar issues were
among the strongest features in con-
notion with the announcement of re-
tirement of bonds and preferred stock,
the prior preferred sold at the high
of Sc and the preferred shares
ranged from As to 42A. but later re-
acted from the high level. The COM
mon stock moved up over / point
to 13.
Petroleum shares were irregular.
Gulf Oil moved up from SIX to SO
60A, but reacted at the close to its
low level. Seaboard Oil and Gas

GRANT CASE ATTRACTS
CLOSE ATTENTION OF
NEW YORK MINISTERS

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Silence was
maintained tonight, both at the Of
flee of Bishop Manning of the Pro-
testant Episcopal diocese of New
York and the rectory of the Rev.
Dr. Percy Stickney Grant of the
church of the Ascension. as DR.. Grant
prepared to take the pulpit tomorrow
for his second sermon since he was
called on by the bishop to recant his
teachings or resign.
The Bishop has had in his hands
nearly As hours the reply sent him
by DR.. Grant to his letter criticising
the rector for questioning the deity
of Christ and other Protestant Epis-
copal dogma. So far as could he
learned, Bishop Manning has not
yet answered the latest communities
ton.
That he would do so tomorrow
from the pulpit seemed doubtful. 1t
could not even be learned at the
Archepiscopal residence whether -ae
pisHop WoHlu denver sermon
The topic selected by DIR. Grant
was Below the Surface It's nature
was not disclosed but it was az
sumed by his supporters that the
rector would continue expounding his
reasons for differing with Bishop
Manning, as he did last Sunday.
That the clergy is keeping sharp
watch on the controversy, which it
has been indicated may result in
charges of heresy being brought
against Dr. Grant, was evidenced by
some of the topics posted for tomor-
rows sermons.
Did Jesus Christ Have the Power
of God?' Must One Be Christian
to be Saved?', What is Heresy?" and
Increase of Heresy." were some of
the topics chosen by Baptist "a" I1pis-
