SCHACHT WOULD KEEP
GOLD DISCOUNT BANK

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, September 90. - Antici-
pating a continued heavy demand for
CONN cial credits, even after the
new nix of emission has entered
form. Y upon its functions. DR..
Hjalmar Schacht, president of the
ReichSbank, today advocated an in
definite retention of the German Gold
Discount Bank. He suggested a re-
duction of this banks discount rate
from 10 to per cent, which was ap
proved by the directorate.
DR.. Schacht believes that the transi-
ton through the security of gold
covered currency will be materially
facilitated if the present Gold Dis
count Bank. which was conceived as
a temporary instrument for further
ing credits abroad, be allowed to
continue it's service to German import
and export interests and other in
dustries. His belief is that the new
currency bank will not be immedi-
ately in a position to meet all credit
demands.
The two institutions would not be
in conflict in their operations, but
would cooperate in the extension of
discounting facilities until such time
as .Germany's new gold currency bank
is able to meet all demands.

 Northern MethOdists

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May TIA new chapter in the history of American Methodism was begun today when a report for the unification Of the Meth cdist Episcopal church with the Meth cdist Episcopal church, south, was ratified by S42 votes to 13 at the gen eral conference of the former body here. The thoughts of the delegates next turn ed toward Nashville. Tenn. where q special conference is expected to be called by the southern church to consider rafi- fication. It fell to Bishop William F. McDowell of Washington. the second of the bishops in point of seniority and the chairman of the commission, which reported the unification plan, to make the speech of the occasion. When he had finished the entire audience rose to it's feet with long applause. Fifteen minutes later when ratification was ac- ccmplished, the 5000 visitros and dele gates joined in the singing of the Doxo- lcgy.
 Eighty years ago. Bishop Me Dowelf began, tour fathers for con science sake, took action that led to the existence of two Methodist Epis- copal churches on this continent and elsewhere. The issue that divided the church is not an issue. The issue now before the church is unit ing, not a dividing, ones. Of all the matters to come before ds this month, no single one surpasses fhis in im- portance to the church of Jesus Christ. "
 Bishop Mcdowell recommended a direct vote on the merger and declared that through the unification Method ism could make new impact upon the non-C Christian world. Tt is the aft ernoon of life for me- he concluded, "but itsis the morning for the church. May Heaven see that today and every day we shall do the thing upon which Jesus Christ shall pronounce the yer dict- We'll done'.s
 The unification report, if ratified by the southern general conference, will eo to the annual conference of that church for action. The adoption by the northern general conference, was considered as final, this being the su- preme law-making body of the church.
