WHO MADE PROTESTS
RumOr Says Steel Corporation COnce, trativa ExnOrts From New Orleans

Rumor Says Steel Corporation Concen-
 tratiye Exports From New Orleans
 Following advices from. Washington that protests had been made from Blr- mingham against the separation of the Warrior and Mississippi river systems, there was rumor that such protests had been made by the United States Steel corporation in line with an ap- parent recent policy which seems to favor the shipping of Steel Corporation vessels out of New Orleans instead ot Mobile. By the separation, it was point ed out by those familiar with the situa- tion, the corporation would be com pelled to bring its vessels to Mobile to be loaded instead of to the port of New Orleans.
 It. was also pointed out that if this were the basis of the protests it was unfortunate that the Steel corporation and it's Alabama subsidiaries were not more appreciative of the l$10,000,0O0 port at Mobile for which the people of the state voted to tax themselves. Such taxpayers had hoped for the apprecia- tion and cooperation of probably the largest single exporters in the state.
 Theodore Brent's opposition to the Warrior river and his favoritism to the port of New Orleans are well known and it was felt there is probably sub stance in the Washington dispatch's s assertion that some of the protest from Birmingham was inspired by him. Mir. Brent paid recent visit to Birming- ham but it is not known with whom he consulted while here.
 It will re recalled that when ocean vessels were being fabricated at Chicka- saw by the Steel corporation, export shipments from the port of Mobile by corporation vessels were -cry encourag- ing to those who had the interest of the port at heart, but recently it is claimed there has been disposition to center more and more the corpora tion,s export business at New Orleans, which means that barge shipments from the Alabama mineral districts must go down the Warrior right through Mobile and thence by the gulf route to New Orleans

BANKERS OF WEST
 AGAIN ON FEET,
 SAYS TREASURY
Bumper Wheat Crop And
 Federal Aid Relieve f Crisis

WASHINGTON, July 26.-With the number of bank failures decreasing rap idly from month to month in the states west of the Mississippi river, where stringent credit conditions obtained last winter, high treasury officials expressed the belief today that the reported bump. CT wheat crop in many of these states had placed the financial institutions of these districts on their feet again.
 342 Close Doors
 Treasury records show that 342 banks were forced to close their doors between January 30 and July 1. These include 267 state and 75 national institutions and while a few more have gone out of business since, the records show that the failures in May were 30 per cent few. CT than in April in states west of the Mississippi and 25 per cent less in June compared with May.
 The Agricultural Credit association organized last spring at the direction of President Coolidge, has been able to reopen some twenty of the banks that failed, and advices to the treasury indicate several score more in the north western states are now receiving aid which will enable them to weather any new crisis.
 Relief For Many Banks
 Most of the banks to which the cor paration has extended aid are small in- stitutions and require only a small amount of money to put them on a firm foundation, officials declared. They ex. rlained that the corporation therefore would be able to help many more banks than was originally expected.
 The treasury's figures on bank fail ures showing what is believed to be a correct list of all failures west of. the Mississippi river included Texas, na, tional bank and z state banks; Arkan- Oklahoma, 6 and 32; Louisiana, none and 1.

to this, it is suggested that the allied goYernments should back a bond issue on behalf of Germany on the bas;j of the Spa reparation percentage. Such a plan is not given much encourage ,ment at Downing street where the stand of the British government is that Bribain is not prepared to guarantee loans on behalf of governments. The refusal to guarantee the loan for soviet Russia is cited as recent precedent.
 Still Hopeful
 Although the conference officials admit they have not found .. formula which will satisfy both the bankers and the French. they do not admit their de- spaiF, maintaining that theoretical plans for launching the Dawes scheme is complete and that the happy phrases likely to pacify the Quai DfOrsay, Wall street and Lombard street may be hit upon at any moment The great amount of technical work which the conference has completed and formulated into reports for pre- sentation at Mondays plenary session K cited as sufficient basis for the confident optimism which all delegate insist on maintaining in the face of seemingly unsolyable problem of satis- | flying the investors and agents that whatever money is loaned to Germany for applying the Dawes plan will be safe.
