 MT Hoover is to undertake a series of eight speeches beginning April 13 and ending June IT, which will review the accomplishment and hopes of his administration as ef- fectively as If he were taking the stump. The variety of audiences he will face permits him the widest range of subjects. Most of the oc. casions, however, provide no politi- cal significance.

Nelson in an address delivered sometime ago at the Montreal Rotary Clubs weekly luncheon. 'Ea '"rhe Egyptians were the first to wear linen gowns 2,166 years ago. and 1t was riding on horse- back that led to q form of di- vided skirt" he continued; and added amongst other tit-bits of sartorial lore, Sailors were the first to wear brooches, soldiers to wear long trousers.
 "The Romans were the first to wear these garments among { the civilized races of their day, although when they got to Eng land, in 55 B. C., they found the j ancient Britons wearing them.

 For instance. the Romans prlded themselves on their bare-legged differentiation from the hardier but equally civilized races of the north-barbarians though they called them.
 As to the assertion that 'sail- ors were the first 10 wear brooches. soldiers to wear long trousers" 1t Is, we believe, an undisputed fact that the sailors who accompanied Columbus {. were trouser clad, while 1t was { Napoleon Bonaparte's soldiers who set the modern fashion of what may be termed revival of the trousered man era-

NEW LAW AIDS
HOME OWNERS

The Administrators proposal
that the Federal Reserve act be
amended to permit the Federal
reserve banks to accept more lib.
eralized collateral, contemplates
taking care of the millions of dol.
lars in frozen real estate and
frozen mortgage bonds as well as
other securities not now accept.
able under the law, it was said
today at the White House.
The meeting Of the financial
and real estate group Of the Pres
ident's home building conference
adjourned to prepare a completed
program for the protection of the
small home owner whose Difficult,
ties in meeting interest payments
and renewal charges have been
acute because of the depression.
The present difficulties of the
home owners should be cared for
under the emergency plan con-
templated by amendment of the
reserve act, the White House ex-
planned.
The financial committee Of the
home owners conference could
not agree on definite plan and
there was a wide divergence of
view. The White House ex-
pressed confidence that the finan-
cial committee would agree on a
program before the full confer
ence meets December 2 next.

Hoover BLames Bankers
For Economic Crisis

Of living of the borrowing
country and the impoverishment
Of its people.
As War Prevention
"Tn fact, IL this principle
could be adopted between ma
tiOns of the wOrld-that is, If
nations would do away with the
lending of money for the bal
ancing of budgets for purposes
Of military equipment for war
purposes, or even that type of
public works which does not
bring some direct or indirect
productive return-a great num-
ber of blessings would follow
to the entire wOrld.'"
The President said there could
"be no greater step taken in the
prevention of war itself" than
this practice, and said the "finan.
cial transactions between nations
must be built upon the primary
foundation that money trans.
ferred is for reproductive pur'
poSes."
Ovation for Roosevelt
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, gov.
ernor general of Porto Rico, fol
lowing President Hoover's address,
received an ovation when he
mounted the rostrum to speak on
international friendships, He said
in part:
"On the material side, for
example, an economic survey
will show that in the vast
majority of instances we will
contribute to each others
growth.
"Our products from the United
States, in most instances, do
not compete with those of the
Latin-American countries, and
your products are needed by u.s."
"Our country is becoming, as
the years pass, devoted in ever
greater measure to manufac-
turing. The Latin.American
countries, though there are
many and great manufacturing
interests, are predOminantly
agricultural, or producers Of
raw material. We of this hemi:
sphere need one another"

topic was on the program for dis
cussion Immediately following hi
talk.
Practically the whole of the
address was devoted to a re
statement of the position the
President took four years age
with regard to international loans
and the declaration that failure
to heed the warning sounded ther
had produced many of the
present-day ills.
1--WE recognize that the pros
perity Of each and every nation
contributes to the prosperity Of
ALL" the President said:
ut is important that at con-
fefences such as this the ex-
perience Of each and every ma
tiOn should be placed at the
disposal of all in order that we
may profit by our successes as
well as learn the lessons of our
failures.
Warning Repeated
"There is one lesson from this
depression to which 1 wish to
refer, and / can present it no
more fOrcibly than by repeating
a statement which I made to
this conference just four years
ago, when we were in the hey
day of foreign loans.

loans, that they are helpful in
world development provided
always one essential principle
dominates the character of
these transactions. That is, that
no nation as a government
should borrow and no govern
ment land and nations should
discourage their citizens from
borrowing or lending unless this
money is to be devoted to pro:
ductive enterprise.
"'Out of the wealth and Che
higher standards of living Gre
ated from enterprise itself must
come the ability to refIay the
capital to the borrowing cOun-
try. Any other course of action
creates obligations impossible of
repayment except by a direct
subtraction from the standards

HOPE To FREE
HOARDED
MONEY
Release of a Billion Dollars
Expected to Be a Result
.. of Sterilization of Banks

The voluntary $500, ,O0O, 600
bankers corporation, as suggested
to the leaders of Congress Tues
day night by President Hoover,
will be incorporated within the
next 48 hours, the White House
announced today.
=, The corporation was proposed
to stabilize the national banking
structure and restore the public's
confidence in banks, hberate the
millions of dollars now tied.up in
-S'frOzen" credits, and remove some
of the Stagnation that has been
lburdening business.
Harrison Sees Hoover
Details of the Presidents plan
for the gigantic corporation have
been placed befoTc every clearing
house association and banking in
stitution.
George L. Harrison, governor
of the New York Federal Re
serve Bank, who brought this
report to the President at the
White House today, said the
bankers corporation would be
national in character, rather than
sectional.
Board Of IL Directors
The huge corporation will be
controlled by a board Of IL
directors, one being appointed
from each of the IL Federal
Reserve districts, Harrison ex-
planned.
He told the President rapid
progress has been made among
the nations leading financiers
since he made the proposal Tues
day night.
Is AS the proposal becomes more
clear it appears the voluntary or
ganization and the proposed fl
nance corporation will do wnat
the Federal reserve banks cannot
accomplish under the law.
HOarded Cash to Be breed
One development may be the
return of a possible billion dol
lars in cash now being boarded
because of the banking uncer-
tainty. Return of the boarded
money would go far to putting
the banks back on really sound
basis.
It is expected the Federal Re
serve Syst 4 will be overhauled
thoroughly to meet any emer.
gency such as has developed in
the last year. An effort is now
being made by the reserve board,
Treasury and congressional COM
Inittees to draft amendments
which will widen the powers of
the reserve banks so they may
assist to a greater degree busi-
ness and banks in trouble, while
at the same time not overlooking
the original policy of keeping the
reserve banks always in a highly
liquid position.
