10 It unethical or discourteouS for q dealer

ponent at his left?
This has been a subject Of frequent dis
cussion. 1t has just been brought up again

CONFIDENCE HELD
DEPRESSION NEED
Trust in Press and Financial
Institutions Is Stressed
by A. P. Editor.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEWARK, October Maintenance
of public confidence in the rress, as
we'll as in financial institutions, Is vi
tally important in these times, Claude
A. Jaeger, financial editor of the Asso-
ciated Press, said yesterday in an ad-
dress before the New Jersey members
of the Associated Press.
I'm times Of unsettled public psy-
chology," he continued, 1T Is all but
sxiomatic that the fears are worse than
the facts themselves. And 1t is with
this constantly in view that the Asso-
ciated Press is following a most dill
gent policy of presenting a full, clear
and unvarnished report of economic de-
velopments as they unfold.
I'VE are facing the facts unfiinching-
ly, and assiduously striving to avoid
either overstatement or understatement.
While we have StriYen toward a con-
structive viewpoint. we have made
every effort to avoid giving an impress
sion that important facts or aspects
are being obscured.
while there is difference of opinion
as TO the weight of bad public psychol-
Cgy in Bringing on the depression, It is
now generally agreed in business, flnan-
cial and governmental quarters that it
has seriously aggrava ted the situation,
and tended to prolong it.
1T is also apparent that any note
of forced optimism or artificiality,
whether intentional or not, is likely to
be viewed with great suspicion and give
rise TO unjustified fears. Understate-
ment may do as much harm as over
statement Associated Press financial
writer's, therefore, strive to present their
material in a manner leaving no loop
holes for misinterpretation."

regional groups of banks in furnishing
banking facilities to depositiors who
have money tied up in closed banks.
In the larger cities the same plan
has actually been in operation without
governmental funds and the Mime
sofa State Banking Department has
been doing virtually the same thing
for State banks. This pool has no
connection with the National Credit
York. The one has to do with banks
already in liquidation and the new
Credit Corporation is an effort to lend
money to banks on good security, so
as to avoid liquidation.
Congress Approval Necessary.
Third, the formation of a Govern
ment Finance Corporation, with a cap
ital of a billion dollars and with au-
thority probably to sell bonds for three
times that sum, so as to provide a
long-term credit for from one to five
years to care for the needs of the
railroads, industry. commerce and agri-
culture in very much the same way
that the War Finance Corporation
functioned during and since the war.
Congress will have to grant this au-
thority, but 1t appears probable from
the statements Of leaders Of both
parties that this Will be forthcoming.
Fifth, enlargement of the capital of
the Federal Land Banks so as to
strengthen the market for those bonds
and give farmers further accommoda-
ton in the mortgaging of farm lands.
This would amount to probably an addi-
tional $60,000000 and would be of in
calculable Importance to the agricul-
tural world.
Most of these steps are negative in
the sense they seek to prevent rumor
mongers from impairing confidence in
the SoundneSs of Americas banking sys-
tenn, but they are also of affirmative
value in easing credit conditions and
making possible the continued develop
ment Of American business, especially in
export trade where longer term credits
are going to be required
II the anticipated revival materializes,
some of these plans may never be re-
quired, but they illustrate the immense
cushion which Is being erected to DEM
onstrate dramatically to the uniformed
depositor and the skeptic that the
finances Of America are sound and that
ample credit exists to carry the bust
ness and industry of the United States
safely through the world crisis.

Too Many Laws Hit.
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
CAMDEN. N. j., October Gov. AL
bert c. Richie of Maryland, mentioned
as Democratic presidential timber, last
night praised President Hoovers efforts
TO stabilize banking.
Speaking before the New Jersey State
League of Municipalities, he asserted,
There can be no greater boon to bank
ing than TO make frozen assets liquid
as proposed under President Hoover's
plan"
The Governor assailed passage of too
many laws in the belief the Federal
Government can cure all our ills" and
added that the legislation was largely
responsible for growing contempt for
law"
Constitution Has Worked.
Whether citizens of New Jersey or
Maryland" he said, we are all pro-
foundry affected by whatever concerns
our Government. The political prob
lem of the ages had been how to recon-
Gle the powers of government with the
liberties of the individual.
We thought We were on the way
to solving it under a constitution which
guarantees the individual immunity
against excessive governmental author
ity. and purportS to protect him in
that immunity. That constitution may
have its critics and its defects. but the
thing, that counts is that 1t has worked.
Growing Contempt for Law Seen.
Despite the legal foundation on
which our Government rests we see
around us growing contempt for the
law. At the same time we see a grow
ing demand for more law.
This latter tendency manifests it.
self in the mistaken belief that the
Federal Government can cure all our
Ills, and that it can, by some sort OF
legerdemain, impose upon all the peo-
pie the panaceas and aspirations OF
some of them.
The innumerable laws which have
resulted from this new and strange
doctrine are, I believe, largely reSponb
sible for the growing contempt Of so
many for all laws"

PARIS BANKERS COMING HERE.
Will Study Hoover Proposals in Prep
aration for Laval.

PARIS, October (P)-The Bank
of France today sent two of its highest
officials to the United States. They
will study President Hoover's proposals
to deal with the financial crisis and so
prepare for Premier Pierre Layals visit
to the President in Washington.
Meanwhile Lord Reading, British for
eign secretary, completed his presenta-
ton of Britains financial position to
the premier and other French govern
ment chiefs. The foreign secretary said
no understanding had been reached,
because we do not know what will
happen in the future"
The newspaper Information printed
what was considered significant news
that J. P. Morgan, who came to Paris
two days ago on the same train that
brought Lord Reading, conferred during
the day with Gov. Clement Moret of
the Bank of France and other leading
financierS.
French public opinion, as represented
by the comments of leading hewSpa-
pers. was apprehensive that President
Hoover might confront Premier Laval
with a request that France agree to a
further suspension of German repara-
tons.
The officials sent by the Bank of
France to study the Hoover proposals
are Charles FARMER, assistant governor,
and Robert Lacour- Gayet, who has
served as the representative of the
French Treasury in the United States
and was a member of the commission
that negotiated the Berenger- Mellon
debt agreement. M. Lacour-Gayet is
director of economic research for the
bank.
The financial situation in the United
States was understood to have DOM
mated Lord Readings final discussion
with the French officials.
Il have explained to Premier Laval,
Foreign Minister BRAND and Minister
of Finance F1andin the situation in
Great Britain, the direction in which
we hope things will develop and how
touched the British public is over the
material aid the French have given US"
Lord Reading said. The French gave
me an equally frank and full account
OF their views of the situation"
The foreign secretary said he was not
informed OF any plan for Great Britain
to be represented at the Hoover-Laval
discussions. 1t was his opinion the
time was too short for British partici-
patton.
M Laval issued a communique. In
which he stated the meeting was de
voted to a frank and complete exchange
In views of the world situation and the
measures best adapted to the ameiora-
tk& OF existing conditions.

More arrests we're expected today
In the Federal Governments

theft ring which allegedly oper-
ated in Illinois. Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan.
Four men are reported to have
been arrested in Canton, Ohio.
The system which the auto
stealing band used has been dis
closed by police.
The ring dealt exclusively with
new cars manufactured in De-
troit. according to Federal au-
thorities. Members working in
Detroit plants discovered lock and
motor numbers Of cars to be de-
livered in Illinois and Indiana.
The information was. passed on
to members in those States, who
stole the cars from private owners
a few days after they were de-
livered.
Cars were then sold to dealers
in Ohio, where, it is said, the law
requires only bills of sale in the
transfer of ownership. The lat
ter were easily forged. Members
Of the ring are said to have posed
as auto finance company execu-
tives and in that manner were
able to resell the cars without
suspicion.
Federal authorities are said to
have refused to divulge the names
Of the arrested men, but they are
said to be the leaders of the
