ton continued.
I'VE therefore look upon the
present situation ~ one which will
undoubtedly correct itself az time
goes goes on until the banking
system OF the country again has q
proper control over surplus funds.
But it is our opinion that the de-
velopment of the practice OF with
drawals from hanks by corporations
and others for the purpose of maxi
ing loans on stock exchange securi-
ties should be limited In some rea-
sonable manner. possibly based
upon the maintenance OF the normal
balance which should not be dis.

stock exchange loans"
Oppske Tax
The bankers also went on record
as opposed to "a capital gains tax
which they termed as "uneconomit
and unsound IN principle and prac-
tice." They also declared themselves
against discrimination by states tr
bank taxation and against the rem
dering Of service by banks without
proper compensation.

Germans Wonder Effect
On Debts of Election

Berlin, Nov. Pl-Although al
most overshadowed in the press by
the French cabinet crisis, Herbert
Hoover's election and its effect on
Europe, particularly Germany, has
attracted great interest.
The man who fed Germany after
the war as Captioned in the news
papers frequently recall, makes an
Immediate popular appeal here.
What interests Germans primarily
is how Mr.. Hooyer's election will
affect reparations and debts. The
general opinion is that the continue
ity of the foreign policy of the
nited States which is looked for
under the Hoover administration is
beneficial to the world. Moreover,
Mr.. Hoover is regarded as a man
wholly free from prejudiccs respect
ing Grrmany's problems and it is
IN ntioned with satisfaction that he
always opposed the fusion of debts
and rcpara lions issues.

THOMAS DISCUSSES
H00YER'S VICTORY
Sees Downfall OF Democratic and
Rise Of Socialist Party as Out
standing Result.

New York, Nov. R)-Norman
Thomas, socialist candidate for pres
ident, today viewed the overwhelm-
ing republican victory as long
step" toward the disintegration of
the democratic party and the rise
of the socialists as the principal
party of opposition.
TAmas said the socialist vote
here exceeded expectations and IN
dictated increasing strength. He re-
ceived 4S,179 votes in the city. after
predicting that he would get $4,000.
The partys national headquarters
had no figures Of the voting else
where.
Il don't think Governor Smith was
defeated by the religious or any
other one ISSUE" the socialist can
didate said. 1T was a complex of
fierce. Regardless of his religion or
Tammany Hall. he would have lost.
From my observations on my
stumping tour of>the country, the
democrats were badly organized and
split internally. That, in my opin-
ion, was a bigger factor in the de-
feat than religion, although this is
sue did play part.
Il predicted democrat defeat be-
cause it seemed to me the republic
cans were better organized. l look
upon this as preceding the disin-
It grafton of the democratic party
and nolitical realignment upon clear
cut issues. / expect the socialist
party to rise as the new party of OPP
position"
