 BANK AID STUDY
Ample Funds To Be Available Is Announcement From The
 White House

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The gov ernment today took a. further step toward alleviating the stringent credit situation among banks of the north west, the president designating four of fieials to study at first hand. A state ment from the office of Comptroller Dawes of the currency, announcing the first step, said:
 "At the suggestion of the President. Mir. Dawes. comptroller of the cur currency; George R. James and !. H. Cunningham. members of the federal |seserse hozrd. and Eugene Meyer, IT., nanaging director of the war finanee corporation, are going to Chicago with the view of studying the western banking situation more closely" The officials will leave tomorrow and their plans call for q series of con ferenees in Chicago Monday, after which means of dealing further with the situation will be worked out. It is probable some of them will visit other middle western cities for conferences with bankers in an effort. to gather sufflcient funds to meet requirements of the small banks throughout the Da- kotas, Montana and Nebraska.
 Officials here declared they could not yet say how much money would bc required, but assurance was given that ample funds would be made available It was suggested in some quarters that the war finance corporation might un- derwrite much of the paper held by smaller banks, reserves of which have lcen strained and which it is believed need only the promise of new credit sources to tide them over.
 The whole problem was gone into by President Coolidge again today He conferred first with Secretary Mellon and later with members of the congress sional delegations from North and South Dakota Mfr. Mellon was said afterward to feel that the condition could be met without further failures among the banks in the sections where conditions are most serious.

BEVERIDE AGAINST
 FOREIGN ALLIANCES
Says Our Aacial Structure Is
 Not Yet Welded

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The racial structure of the American people is not yet welded. and. for this reason, former Senator Albert J. Beveridge of In- diana told the National Republican club today he was unalterably opposed to participation of the United States in EurOpe's affairs.
 The topic of the afternoons discus sion was:
 How far, if at all, and in what way, shall the United States enter into the European situation?"
 Not an inch, and in, no way" was Mir Beyeridge's answer.
 Asserting that the welding process cease immediately once America took sides in a European quarrel, the for mer senator added:
 Our great task is to weld these racial groups into a homogeneous peo- pie. not only in language and ideals, but in bloOd-a people to be known in history us the American people."

A clesr cut "statement from Ford today on his bid tor Muscle Shoals was sisped by Ford in person, stated his bid will stand.
 Enemies of the Ford offer contended that Ford would not make a positive statenent, that he would accept the con- ditions of the Madden bill even if that bill, providing for the construction of n auxiliary steam plant in lieu of GefeAs. were enacted. Friends of the Ford offer have known always that the Detroit man would accept the provi- sions of the Madden bill, and felt that a clear cut" and unequivocal statement t6 that effect would greatly. eludidate the situation."
 Col. w. J. Worthington, one of Ford's agents, is so enthusiastic of the quick success of the offer, that no doubt is left but that the letter will bs the means of knocking the opposition of it's feet.
 The idea prevails among Ford ad- hersnts that the committee, giving scant consideration to the offer of the Alabama Power company, will report the Ford offer next week. Represen- tative Listre Hill of Alabama, member of the committee entertains that view. 1t Is indicated that majority of the mmebers are Ford adherents.
 At the same time, it is possible that the fertilizer offers will be deemed worthy of some consideration. At present, two such offers are on the desk of the Secretary of War, and it is probable that another is en route. It is understood that those making these propositions will agree to take over the nitrate plants, and by the water power to be furnished at cost by the Alabama Power company, if it secures Muscle Shoals, produce fertilizer in quantity at a limited profit.
 There is unquestionably an under standinx TO- partnership between the power and the fertilizer producers The rrop0sitionz, regarded in connection with each other, would fulfill the law which reqnifes that the plants be dedi- eeted t6 the production of fertilizers and nitrates The committed, however. it appears, is determined to ignore both propositions although it may do the bidders the courtesy to give them q
 MT. Hill, however, and others think it more probable that the committee, without further ado. will wash it's hands of the affair by sending the Ford offer with a verbal report to the floor of the House.
