WASHIN N-Prohibition, which has come to be a firebrand of the special session of Congress, caused another heated debate in the House. Representative La Guardia touched off the match with an at tack upon the method of enforcing dry laws. He declared the govern ment under President Hoover was making no attempt to enforce the prohibition law equally throughout the United States, having placed disproportionately large numbers of agents in New York, while neglect ing to keep careful watch in the southern states.

mend President Hoover's program for
development of the waterways of the
country as announced by him in his
speech at Louisville, KY, a week ago.

special plea was made for consideration
of the New Jersey ship canal, for which
a Suez or Panama Canal tonnage was
predicted. 1t wa pointed out that the
New Jersey ship canal is now only 2
feet and If 1t was doubled or increased
to at least IS feet the traffic on that
canal would be thrice as heavy.

annual meeting of this association, held
in September, which called for the
completion of the Atlantic ~Intracoastal
Waterway. we're left with the President.
j. Hampton Moore, former mayor OF
Philadelphia and for a number OF years

remain in a wheel chair, due to illness.
She continued as superintendent of the

All children entering the doors Of the
home found kindly sympathy under Mrs.

A resolution was introduced in the
Senate today by Senator Nye, Republic
can, North Dakota, proposing appoint
ment of a special committee to investi-
gate speculative operations on all stock
exchanges.
The resolution went over for future

members of these committees, Senators

Florida.
The resolution says the speculative
operations of the Stock Exchanges

the entire industrial life Of the coun-
try and ut is necessary that legisla-
ton be enacted to regulate purely spec
ulative operations in the securities rep
resenting the physical equipment OF the
industrial structure of the Nation"

TO OPEN
new BRIDGE TODAY
Dedication Of 100000 Span Will
Mark End of Month
Of Celebrations.
By the Associated Press.

oS LAO ASSOCldbCo
LOUISVILLE, KY, October 31.-This
community today rounded out a month
of gala celebrations, which began with
the American Legion national conven-
ton and reached a high point with
President Hoover's dedication OF the
Ohio River c~analization, by opening O
new SIS, 000, 600 highway bridge.
The structure links up national high
ways and gives Southern Indiana its
first direct highway connection with
downtown Louisville.
Gov. Elem D.. Sampson Of Kentucky
and Lieut.. Gov. Edward Bush Of In
diana were to represent their respective
peoples at the ceremony this afternoon.
The bridge was built by the City of
Louisville under a financial plan re-
garded as entirely original. After two
efforts to get the necessary two-thirds
approval at the polls of a bond issue for
a bridge the city made a contract with
a banking firm whereby the latter fur
niShed money for the bridge and issued
debenture bonds against tolls. When the
tolls have paid off the bonds the bridge
becomes free.

Swedens surplus of exports over i'm
ports for the month of September has

(about So, 430, 000), compared to 7,000,-
600 crowns (about 81. 800, 000) in 1928.
This indicates that the country will
have q favorable trade balance for the
year.
The lowered duty on coffee, effective
on September /, caused the import Of
September, 1928. The imports of sugar
increased rs per cent.
The gasoline import rose so per cent.

that a sudden withdrawal of those de-
posts would unsettle the American
market. Great Britain had similar APP
prehensions. That is one reason why
the governors of some Of the European
central banks have been making visits
TO the Federal Reserve Bank Of New
York and close communication by cab
has been maintained always.
This course has been criticized as not
protecting American interests or as
caring too much about European finan-
cial affairs, but If the theory that Euro
pean spectators came near bringing a
panic Of values in America then what
Europe does will become of vastly more
Importance hereafter. The rise in money
rates in New York attracted large funds
from abroad. European central banks
were troubled by the prospective flow Of
gold to America.
When money rates fell in the United
States large amounts were withdrawn
from the American call money market.
It did not cause a Stringency in the
money supply, because the bill policy OF
OF the Federal Reserve system in effect
since last June had become operative
and had achieved a momentum which
made 1t possible for money rates to be
low.
buV bHe WlLIluIdWdl VI GuLopcdi
money had it's effect on European
spectators and investors. 1t may not
have been the single controlling iorce
in the break of American security
values, but, on the other hand. 1t takes
very little of a scare to start a run
on a bank or on a stock market II the
quantities Of deposits withdrawn or
securities sold happen to be siZeable.
The Federal Reserve authorities are
maintaining silence apou. the whole
situation. The expressions Of confidence
from private quarters in the business
outlook have been such that it was not
felt the board here need say anything
at this time, but q survey of the credit
and business outlook may be expected
In the not far distant future.
