NEW YORK, July 24.-Wall Street is turning over in it's col lective mind the interesting theory that too rapid reduction of the public debt may he responsible for the troubled credit situation, high money rates and general market nervousness.
 It is estimated that in eight years the Treasury has put moro than ,$7,300 100000 into the money market in the form of surplus funds or credits, or about $1.000,- 0OO,000 yearly. This action is seen as providing plethora of funds which the Federal Reserve system and it's member banks are said to have been finding it diff ficult to accommodate and which commerce and industry have been unable to use.
 The source of Treasury funds was the conversion of approxi- mately $3.7O0. 900, ,000 surplus col lected from taxes into debt reduc- tion and application 10 the sink ing fund, about S2,075,000,o00, to the same purpose. Some $1,1SO,- 900. 900 is estimated to have been received from foreign governments and miscellaneous sources, while redemption of certificates of in- debtedness, Treasury notes and Liberty bonds is said to have made up the balance.
 It is argued that this continued and extensive flow of funds into the market made possible the building of the greatest sBecula- tive structure the world ever has seen and that, efforts to control the nationwide wave of speculation

produced money market maninula- tions quite as disturbing and un- desirable. Federal Reserve eff forts 10 this end. it is pointed out, have had the most depressing ef- feet upon the market for govern ment securities rather than upon the stock market.
 Federal Reserve authorities, however, are inclined to view such theory as untenable. if not en- tirely fallacious. They declare that while the Federal Reserve redis- count rate was raised in an effort to check the record bank borrow ings. which were used for loans upon stock market collateral. it was only nature taking it's course that caused the tottering and col lapse of some sections of Wall Streets house of paper under the pressure of restricted credit and high money rates.
 The Federal Reserve holds that high money rates are due chiefly to gold exports, increased demand for currency, changes in reserve requirements or in Federal Reserve bank deposits and sale of govern ment securities. It is pointed out that nearly s3OO 900 900 in gold has been exported from this coun- try during the first half of the year, largely to meet stabilization requirements of European govern ments, while other factors for tighter money have been equally apparent.
 Exports or gold represent loss of reserve funds and consequently banks have beep forced to in crease their borrowings at the

FRENCH RAILROADS
 PAYING OFF DEBTS

PARIS, July 24.-French rail- ways, which have had hard times since August 1914, are nearing the point where income is suffi- cient to meet expenses.
 Progress has been aided by re- cent approval of the Ministry of Public Works for further in- crease of 12 percent in freight tar- ifs. Year after year the car riers have been increasing passen- ger fares and freight rates in an effort to meet the depreciation of the franc and equalize income and expenditure. At the present time fares and freight rates are more than four times as great as before the World war.
 One of the principal reasons as- cribed for difficulties in French railway finance has been the enor-

MILLIONAIRE TO

Sportsman Plans Nonstop
Hop From Florida.

NCOpytlRDL. 1896 py OulLeu EItSoj
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Prompted
by his love for adventure and at the
same time conducting an expert
ment, Charles Victor Bob, Million
aire sportsman and mine operator,
will attempt a nonstop flight from
Florida to Bolivia some time next
month, he revealed today in an ex-
elusive interview with the United
Press.
The flight will be made in Bella
anca monoplane, which Bob pur-
chased from Commander Richard E.
Byrd for $4,000.
Dean Lamb, former Royal Air
Force ace, who is credited with hav-
ing doWned the first German plane
over London during the war, as well
as with starting several minor Cen
trail American revolutions, has been
retained to pilot Bob to Bolivia,
where he will inspect his mineral
holdings at Llagagua.
If the flight is successful Bob said
he would equip most of his mines
with planes for the use of engineers
in flying from one development to
another, thus saving several days
which might be consumed if the
trip were made by pack horse or
canoe.
After the South American at
tempt, Bob said he would inspect
his holdings in British Columbia
and Alaska, using an airplane as a
means of travel.
