Trade Names Important.
It is unfortunate that institutions. in
the United States are often permitted to
bear names which, to the layman, es-
pecially outside the country, indicate
governmental connection or sponsorship.
When the Bank of United States coli
lapsed, considerable uneasiness was In
evidence abroad where the failure was
locked upon as involving the United
States Government.
A somewhat similar impression has
been created by the closing OF the
United States National Bank in Los
Angeles. OF course, the institution has
no more connection with the National
Government than any other national
bank. The creditors are assured that
cash on hand and available through
conversion of bonds and ether securities
Is sufficient to take care Of all deposit
liabilities.
The disquieting banking situation in
the United States, especially as far as
the medium sized and smaller institu-
tons are concerned, leads to the inquiry
as TO whether it would not be very
helpful If steps are taken to restore con-
fldence in them, just as is now done
with respect to Germany, Hungary,
Austria and others.
The depositors in the United States
are entitled TO as much consideration
as their European neighbors Even
though the problems across the At
lantic are graver, We must not lose
sight of the cumulative effect that
small bank failures in the United
States are bound to exert upon the
economic life of the Nation.
Amusement Outlook Good.
The outlook for the coming year is
for the amusement in
duStry, according to Harry NJ. War
ner, head of Warner Bros. Pictures.
Although he anticipates a loss for the
current quarter, Mr.. Warner calls at
tention to the notable pickup in bust
ness during the last few weeks and
adds that earnings have been SUFFICIENT
to take care of all interest charges

the per cent debentures due 1889.
The classic free trader is about to
abandon, in part at least, his policy
pursued most tenaciously for many
years. In order to balance the budget
and improve England's fiscal structure,
Prime Minister Macdonald proposes to
introduce. with others, a 10 per cent
levy on manufactures not re-exported
and on food now untaxed, expected to
yield about 1925 ,000, 900.
Surrounded by nations which have
erected high tariff walls, rendering diff
ficult the normal flow of trade and
commerce, Great Britain could not be
expected forever to adhere to a free
trade policy. In any event, protection,
If applied with moderation, is likely to
prove beneficial and Great Britain will
prove no exception.
Europe Keeps Sound Stocks.
Europeans do not, as a rule. part
very easily with enterprises which are
fundamentally sound and profitable
These they keep for themselves They
do not, however. object to placing in
foreign markets issues on behalf of such
concerns as long as they retain control.
The most recent instance is afforded
by one Of Europe's leading utilities, the
Rhine Westfalia Electric Power Co, on
behalf of which several bond issues
were placed with American investors,
who were also occasionally invited to
purchase shares in the company. The
latter, realizing that working control is
likely to pass into the hands of for
eign groups. has just created an addi-
tional issue Of $750,ooo par value reg
istered stock, which should act as a
barrier to any acquisition of control by
international banking groups.
Strauss Bond Collapse.
A shadow of their erstwhile glory and
grandeur are the per cent convertible
bonds of Nathan Strauss, Inc, selling
presently at about 20 per cent. A re-
ceiyer has been appointed for the COM
pany's properties, which accounts for
the current quotation. Introduced to
the American public some three years
ago, the bonds sold appreciably above
400 per cent. The present level repre-
sents shrinkage as compared with the
high of more than $50 points.

Extension of Credits as Means of Re-
heving Financial Tension Abroad

disappointed on that account, for the
committee was merely a fact-finding
body. Among the interesting facts it
found was that Germany has been
committing the financial crime of bor-
rowing short ana lending long, the
practice which brought disaster to the
creditanstalt in Austria and which
brings on failure of SO many banks.
The committee found that Germany
had used short-term credit to make
long-term loans to such slow, If not
impossible, debtors as Russia, Turkey,
Rumania and parts Of South Africa.

HOUSE SPEAKER
SKIRMISHINC is
ON IN EARNEST
Both Parties Maneuverinq
for Edge in Battle Over
Vacancy.

81 scyipps-Ho,oard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, June 10. - With
only two votes dividing the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in the house.
maneuvering to win the speaker
ship has started in earnest. accord
ing to reports reaching here TODAY.
Democrats particularly are anx-
ious over apparent moves by Sem
htor Wesley Jones (Rep., Wash)
senate whip, to remove a Demo-
cratic congressman from the house
by elevating him to the federal
bench, Republicans are worrying
over the outcome of the special
election in Cincinnati that viii be
held to fill the seat made vacant bv
the death u the late Speaker Long
worth.
on these two things may hinge
the question Of whether a Repub-
lican or Representative Jack" Car
ner Dem, Tex. will bang the
gaYel and which party will organize
the lower body.
Jones has asked his Democratic
colleague, Senator G. G. Dill, to join
with him in indorsing Representa-
tive Samuel B Hill dem, Wash.)
for a vacancy on the federal court
In that district.
Except for Dill. Hill is the only
Democrat sent to congress from
Washington in many years. AL
though his district normally is Re
publican by 10000 he usually wins
by 10000.
But should he be kicked upstairs,
the Republicans might be able to
defeat whoever runs in his place,
and that would make their hold in
the house more secure. In any
