FINANCE HEADS
CHEERED BY
CREDITS
By B. G. FORBES

Time money has become dis
tinctly cheaper, $16,O00,000 gold
has been engaged by New York, the
heavy mid-monthly settlements
caused no disturbance, the Fed.
eral reserve system has built up a
reserve ratio of almost 76 per
cent against SO per cent a year
ago, stock speculation has dirnin-
ished in volume, and new security
offerings, apart from the deluge
of stock subscriptions through
rights" are being kept within
bounds.
All this suggests that money
rates will run distinctly lower in
the second half, Of the year.
In view Of this, ana taking into
consideration the rather drastic
readjustment already effected in
quotations for many speculative
stocks, there IL less reason than
there was formerly for fearing a
drastic collapse in the stock mar
ket, provided industry ana bust.
ness fulfill the optimistic expecta.
tions now widely held.
The business pace thus far has
been remarkably well maintained.
Recent events have afforded
deep satisfaction high up.
The solving Of the delicate, far.
reaching reparations problem has
lifted q cloud from the highest
financial circles. The ca1iber of
the ministers selected by Prenief
Ramsay Macdonald Is reasguf
ing. The farm legislation passed
by Congress excites no alarm from
the financial viewpoint. Tariff
prospects admittedly are not pleas
ant. Improvement in monetar$
conditions strengthens confidence
Once again it has been stril
ingly proved that We no longeF
have one stock market but ssva
eral stock markets. utility
market, q rail market, an Oh
market, q motor market, an elecS
trio market. q copper market. B
steel market, a miscellaneous ink
dustrial market, etc. Utilities
naturally have drawn the lime
light. But rails. long unspectacus
lar. are acting promisingly. Irs
regularity has been the keynote
in most divisions. =

has not been heavy. The marks
registered q modest net average

The fears which were fairly
Widespread that general business
activity would gubside with the

way to rsvivinE confidence.

MORE SURPLUS
THAN IN 1928
INDICATED

Unclo SANS uncanny ability to
keep making more and more money,
despite successive reductions in in.
aonna and corporation tax, and 10
yield handsome profits year after
year has been again demonstrated
by remarkable tax collection figures
made public at the Treasury today.
With six business days Of the
fiscal year yet to be reported. both
income and corporation tax and
customs receipts were far greater
than the entire 1923 period. On
the basis of today's figures and
barring any unusual appropriation
except that of $45,O00,OO0 to rail-
roads for additional compensation
for handling the mails, the Gov
ernment will have a surplus OF well
over $200, 900 ,0Oo.
Exceed 1898 Taxes
Up to Saturday income tax col
lections for June were well over a
half-billion dollars, exceeding all OF
192S by more than $5O,000,O0O. For
the fiscal year tax collections ex-
Ceeded $2,280, ,000, 900 and were about
g~IAUfWUW.VWV &FSdlSE tUdu AOl uI w
1928. Compared to the same period
in 1923, tax collections were $173,,
100000 greater.
On the other hand, up to Satur-
day, for the year the Government
had spent $3,711,soT.000 greater
than for the entire 1928 period by
SIS, 900, 900. Uncle Sans overhead
for the 1929 year will exceed that
of 1928 by over 500, 0,O00, 900, &C.
cording to indications. This will be
the most expensive peace-time year
In history.
Reduce Debt
The public debt will be reduced
about $S00,0OO, 900, to a new total OF
approximately SIG, ,804, 900, 900. That
was in contrast to the peak figure
In August, 1919, of something over
S26 ,000, ,00O,0 900. The reduction since
1918 represents saving in interest
to the government of nearly $780,.
900, 900 a year. The saving as a re-
suit of the 1929 reduction will be
somewhat under $4,000. 900.
The heavy volume of imports to
satisfy the demands of the Amer,
ican buying public was demonstrated
by the increase In customs duties,
Z 10 date collections were about $780,.
100000, a gain of $32,000,00O over
the same period last year.

 in Fredericton, N. B.

New Canaan, Aug. R)-Premier John M. B. Baxter of New Bruns- wick Province, Canada, today notl- fled Mrs. Mary Perry King, execu- trix of the estate of the late Bliss Carman, internationally known poet, that an official memorial and com initial service for the poet will be held at Fredericton.

 The premier said the memorial services would be followed by com- initial services in the Fredericton cemetery.

MURDER SUSPECT
 SOUGHT IN BOSTON
Robbery Arrest Leads to Probe
 Man Wanted Missing

Boston, Aug. 9 UP)-Search was instituted today for Rosario Latoria, who recently moved here from New York with his wife, for questioning in connection with an alleged mur- der in New York city.
 Latoria disappeared from his home at 35 Chelsea street, East Boston. last Friday, shortly after he and his wife were robbed of s19,200 by two gunmen.
 One of Robbers Caught
 Police received their information regarding Latoria from Benjamin Miri5le, arrested yesterday and identified by Mrs. Latoria as one of the two men who took the money. Under questioning Mirible told po- lice that Latoria was wanted for murder by New York authorities and he also gave the name of the alleged victim. Police withheld the name pending investigation. Mirible was arranged in East Boston court on robbery charge and his case was continued for one we.k. His bail was fixed at s20,000.
 Meantime, Captain Archibald Campbell. communicated with AL bany and New York police and asked them to arrest man and woman who rented room from Mrs. Latoria the night before the robbery. Police believe the pair may have been members of a New York gang.
 Searched For Boomer
 Mrs. Latoria told police that soon after the hold-up she and hsr friend, Miss Rose Di Frank. of AL bany, went to the New York capi- tai in search of one of the men who hired a room. and whom she believes was the second man in the robbery.
 There. she said, a relative of the man, offered her s3.000 if she kept the affair quiet. When she re. turned from Albany, her husband had disappeared.
 MT. and Mrs. I.atoria recently mo#ed here from Cherry street, New York city.

Columbia Professor Tells Unity Institute New Policy of International Relations Becoming Im- perative Need.

Hyannis, Mass, Aug. 9 R}-The principle of trusteeship and that of ruthless exploitation, in the rela- tion of powerful states to backward peoples. Dr. Parker T. Moon, as- sociate professor of international relations at Columbia university, told the institute of world unity here today in his fifth and con- cluding lecture.
 Problem to Become Pressing
 During the next few years we may expect the problem of imperi- alism to become more pressing and more controversial, because it is approaching it's climax" said Dr. Moon. The half century of con- quest which is now past has brought us to the parting of the ways. If the ultra -imperialist agitation exist ing in a number of countries should prevail, empires will increasingly treat their colonies as sources of monopolistic profit
 4AlIllOuSI tllC iiiolluSl ol IlI- perialism has been the most frui.flu source of international conflict since 1870, there are tendencies to- ward a Liberalization of interna- tional methods today. Backward countries are stiffening their resis- tance to foreign domination, and may be expected to grow even more recalcitrant. for two reasons, first. because the doctrines of national patriotism and self lf-determination are taking deep root in dependent nations second, because the league covenant and the Kellogg pact, if honorably observed will rule out wars of conquest and threats of war between the great powers, on the one hand, and nations like China, Turkey, Persia Abyssinia, Egypt and Siam on the other
 Trend Toward Emancipation
 Moreover there is trend toward gradual emancipation of existing colonies and protectorates. AS the British Dominions have recently graduated from the class of col onics into the class of independent nations, other peoples are demand ing like freedom. Great Britain's treatment of Irak and Egypt points the way. The chief point to con- sider however, is that under mol orn conditions of industry and finance. there is more profit in the mutually satisfactory relations of buyer and seller than in the one sided relations of master and slave. We have seen this apply to indivl- duals and classes: we shall next sec it apply to the largest international groups.
 "Open Door" Best Policy
 "Open door is logical corol- lary of the new principle of trustee ship. Monopolistic controls of col! onial raw materials and colonial markets will evoke protests like those Of Mir. Hoover made against British rubber restrictions. until the colonial powers learn that justice end foresight indicate5a broader and liore successful policy. The sole question today is whether the new spirit Of international cooperation will triumph in time to prevent the outbreak of another far more widespread and destructive imperi- alistic war.

RED|SC0UNT RATE
 WILL CURB CREDIT
Action Of Federal Reserve Bank
 Interpreted as Move

New York, Aug. 9 P}-Increase from 5 to 6 per cent in the redis- count rate of the Federal Reserve bank of New York and reduction of the buying rate for bankers bills from five and fourth per cent to five and one-eighth, was inter- preted in financial circles today as an effort by the Federal Reserve board to curb the flow of credit in.o speculative loans and insure funds to finance crop movement and n- dustrial credit demands.
 A statement regarding brokers loans issued by the board showed that an increase in the past week of s60,000,000 had brought the to- tai to $6,O20,000,O00
 The rapid increase in brokers loans in the face of two warnings from the board, one last February and another early in the summer was held responsible by financial op- orators for the increased rate, the increase which was announced in Washington after the close of the market yesterday, makes it the highest since the postwar recon struction period.

Church News
Why is it that so few members of
the Methodist Episcopal Church at
tend the class meetings which are
held in the several churches week.
ly? We have been told that these
meetings was the very foundation on
which the M. E. Church rested. If
this is so, then the foundation must
be growing very weak and likely to
crumble and fall. Better get back
to the good old times and worship in
the same old way as our mothers
and fathers used to worship in spir-
it and in truth and in the beauty of
holiness.
The church school was not so
largely attended last Sunday. 1t be-
ing missionary day the attendance
should have been much larger. The
primary department seems to be on
the increase and especially the era
die roll. Every department could be
brought to its full strength if all Of
ficers and members would do their
duty. Let's try?
