JAPANESE CABINET
TO SUPPORT BANKS
Moratorium or Direct As.
sistanCe Likely to Solve
Money Problem.
Rr the AssocIated Press.


TOXIC, April 21.--The new Japa.
nese cabinet, after an all-day extraor-
binary session to consider the finan-
cial situation. announced tonight.
After careful deliberation and col
lecting Of reports from various direc-
ti0ns, the government has decided to
adopt q thorough policy of financial
stabilization."
The character Of the steps TO he
taken was not made known. but it is
expected that tomorrow will bring
the solution-perhaps a moratorium
or government assistance to the banks.
Various Toxic banks remained open
tonight, paying depositors.
A majority of the Toxic banks are
experiencing runs and the question is
being asked whether the anxiety can
be stemmed, Notwithstanding that the
government is exerting every effort
to renew confidence.
5OO,OOO,OOO Yen Needed.
It was stated by the Bank OF Japan
today that at least 500, 600 900 yen
more was necessary to protect the
banks, and it was understood that
government assistance might be
asked
The Bank of Japan was endeavor-
ing today to supply currency to most
of the hard pressed banks. Lines of
automobiles were outside it's doors,
with employees carrying out to them
suitCases and sacks filled with bank
notes. Even the largest banks were
experiencing runs and every effort
was being made to replenish their
currency.
Today the Bank of Japan advanced
to Toxic institutions more than 100,-
100000 yen. bringing the gross out
standing advances to approximately
/ 1,163, 600 900 yen.
Two Banks Suspend.
Two small banks suspended today,
but the others apparently withstood
the runs temporarily. 1t was under
stood that institutions at Kobe and
Osaka were hard pressed, but no
specific news has been received. The
stock market was sinking and specu-
lators generally were depressed.
The fifteenth bank, which an
nounCed three weeks suspension, is
called the Noble Bank" because at
the time of reconstruction, cash bonds
were exchanged for feudal lands placed
with the bank. The imperial house
hold is the holder of more than 5000
shares, and the depositors include over
500 members of the House of Peers.
Among it's directorate are Prince Mat
sukata and many prominent finan-
ciers. This banks position affects 40
leading industrial concerns in Japan,
including shipbuilding, oil, electricity
and gas interests.

Gift to Toxic.

"Many automobile clubs and civic
bodies are now adding TO their efforts
to abate the roadside signboard nui-
sance, a movement for frequent road
side planting of such attractive small
trees as dogwood and redbuG and
some larger subjects.
Not many persons probably are
aware that a few years after the
Japanese cherries were presented to
Washington a reciprocal gift of a
large quantity of our dogwood trees
to Toxic and vicinity was made pos
sible through the efforts of some Of
the botanists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. An increasing
number of American tourists return
ing from Japan are asking the source
of the many dogwood trees they have
seen there"
Mr.. Kicker also made a plea for fur
ther conservation of the redbud and
the trailing arbutus, or Mayfiower.

DOGWOOD DISPLAY
URGED FOR CAPITAL
P. L. Kicker of Department
of Agriculture Sponsors
Large Paintings.

Extensive paintings Of towering
dogWood in Washington parks, and
perhaps along country roads, TO give
this native plant ii significance equal
to that of the imported Towering Jap
anese cherry trees in Potomac Park,
has been suggested to F.. i. Kicker of
the Department Of Agriculture and
president of the Wild Flower Preser-
walton Society.
Mr.. Kicker. in q radio address, esti-
mated that from 30 to 95 per cent Of
tine previous destruction of dogwood
in this vicinity has been stopped vol
unfairly, and he put forward the pro-
posal to establish a splendid public
display of the native dogwOod i'm this
city.
Those who live in or near Wash
ington have just had an opportunity
to see the Japanese cherry in all of its
glory he said, ''and many thou
sands have walked or motored past
t. wonderful display, emulating the
love and reverence for this flower Of
our Japanese friends, who have made
this pleasure possible for us.
Speaks for DOgwOOd.
"But how much better it would be
if we had extensive paintings Of some
of our equally attractive native flow
ers in some of our parks and along
our country roads to do reverence to.
We are fortunate in having available
for this purpose one Of the most beau
tiful of our native flowers, which
should be in full bloom within a few
days, the Towering dogwood.
This beautiful Towering tree is
found throughout a considerable part
of the Eastern United States, and a
similar species is found on the Pacific
Coast"
"A few years ago." said Mr.. Kicker.
referring TO prior destruction, 1.-The To-
cal motorists and pedestrians, return
ing home from an outing ON a pleas
ant Sunday afternoon during the dog
wood season, carried large branches
of this beautiful flower torn from the
trees, often with strips of bark, seri-
ousiy injuring, if not destroying, many
of the smaller trees. Many of the
larger trees were broken down in ef-
forts to get the branches"
Campaigns carried on during the
past few years, Mr.. Kicker said, had
met with very gratifying response,
and it is estimated from numerous
observations that at least 90 to %
in this part of the country has been
stopped"
"It is also very gratifying" he
added, ito see how much of the dog
wood has been retained or transplant
ed around the homes in some sec
tions of the District, particularly
upper Sixteenth street, east to
Georgia avenue, including a liberal
display of the red-f1owered dogwood,
also native, but almost unknown in
the wild state and with an occasional
red bud to vary the color of the land
scape
This is in very marked contrast
20 the wholesale destruction of scenic
Deauty in some other sections. most of
which could have been given at vast
ly less expense n landscape and
