VALLEY STILL
HOLDING PLACE
AS WHITE SPOT

"A number of favorable features
became apparent in trade and in
dustry as the first quarter of 1881
ended. leading to feeling that the
long retreat was about halted and
that in some sectors advances we're
made" states Frank Greene, man.
aging editor Of Bradstreet's in his
April ] report of business condi-
tions In the United States. The
Nations Business" map again
shows Imperial Valley as a white
spot, indicating business conditions
equal to those of year ago AT
the present time and conditions for
the first quarter of the present
year better in Imperial Valley than
most sections of the country.
Monterey vicinity is the only other
white spot in California and but
five small white spots besides this
section of California are shown as
white west of the Mississippi river.
According to Greenes report on
merchandising throughout tn e
country, which is of particular in
terest to the local business men and
to the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce. which organization keeps in
close touch with Greene, there was
an increase in the sales of cotton
goods and advances in prices of
most of the staple cottons in un-
finished lines, although raw cot
tons went down. Silks and woolens
also show an increase in sales, in
dicating an increased buying power
and demand for spring goods. Ac-
cording to the Ell Centre Chamber.
this increase In sales of cotton and
clothing material has also been
noted in Ell Centre by the various
merchants.
Activities noticed in this city
which reflect more substantial con-
ditions than throughout the nation
are a gain in building over the
previous year. condition which
does not exist in many localities. a

and a lack of failures and fire

BANKER STATES
RATE REDUCTION
IS UNSUITABLE

That banks have been most pru-
dent in reducing the rates of inter-
est paid on savings accounts. and
/ that the great rank and file of
! depositors recognize this reduction
as dictated by the principles of
| sound and conservative banking,
was brought out in an interview
with Leroy Holt. vice president. Ell
Centre Branch, Bank of America,
Effective May /, interest on term
savings accounts has been reduced
from 4 per cent to 3ia per cent.
Certain readiustments also have
been made in interest paid on time
certificates of deposit.
we have been gratified with the
spirit IN which our customers have
accepted this reduction of interest
on savings accounts said Holt
They recognize that this action is
to the best interests of the COM
munity. through the promotion of

chasing power of the famiiys in
come dollar. 3ia per cent equals
the former rate on savings ac-
counts. If 4 per cent was proper
in 1929, certainly 3k per cent IS
entirely equitable today.
"All well-managed banks keep a
large proportion of their deposits
in liquid securities, such as United
States government, municipal and
other high grade bonds. Both the
savings and commercial depart
ments must carry large amounts of
such investments as a part of
their secondary reserves.
AT. this time. prudent bankers
are increasing their liquid reserves
that they may be in position to
lend full aid to business, industry
and agriculture in the return to
normal conditions. Adequate re-
serves mean ability to cooperate

PARADE IN PARIS EASTER SUNDAY
 BEST SINCE WAR
5O,0O0 Tourists, Most of
 Them From England
 Watched One of Smart= est of Easter Exhibitions
BY MARY KNIGHT

Paris, April 6 - (UP) - One of the smartest fashion parades of any Easter since the war was held yes terday down the avenue Foch.
 Pleasant weather favored the parade and about 50,000 tourists, most of them from England, invad- ed Paris to participate in the Eas- ter services and the promenade.
 Thousands, including President Gaston Doumergue. witnessed the running of the Prix De La Republic at the Auteuil track, where La Ere gate. 30 to one. raced home ahead.
 This was q brown and green Easter. and the two prevailing col 0rs of the Paris mode were much in evidence. Green seemed to have an edge on brown. and fitted in particularly well with the fresh new green background of the Bois De Boulogne.
 For one hour at noon the crowd moved up and down the avenue Foch. according to tradition. radi- antly happy and beautifully gowned. No one would think of walking on the right side of the avenue, for tradition has it that you must walk on the left side only from the Arc De Triomphe down to the Bois.
 There were some novel dresses to be seen. The majority of them were between mid calf and ankle length, featuring close fitting sil- houette body lines to the knees. from whence the skirts flared out like morning glories against the green leaves on the trees Hats were both small and large, depend ing on the severity of the costume or it's relaxed decorativeness.
 Suits and printed silks vied for supremacy with Scotch plaids and chiffons in ensembles. All the famous couturiers were recognized at a glance in the costumes of their smart clientele. Louise Boulanger's two piece frock in red, grey. and white plaid taffeta. with a cape of black cloth: I.avin's sport costume in brown and white striped material ban and scarf of the striped mater ial: Jenny's black lace over black satin, made simply and worn with . large hat of the same lace and cut out gauntlet gloves from Alexan- drine; Patou's opaline greens and yellows were the most conspicuous colors of the parade. as were his new sailor hats with colored silk bands and white. cream and buff brims.
 Shoes of reptile skins, crepe and glazed leather tapped accompani- ment to the gay melody of Easter's spring song, and Molyneux parasols did justice to their creator in cast ing lowered shadows on the radi- ants faces beneath them.
 Pyjama dresses were not absent from the smart assemblage. Some of these divided skirts were in the Schiaprelli fashion and so skillfu1ly arranged with pleais as to be en- tirely deceptive.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-04-06

We democrats cannot and must not tolerate deception of this kind if we ever hope to win the respect and confidence of the people. Either pledge the party dry, or manfully re- turn to Jeffersonian doctrine and give the people themselves opportun- ity to decide this question, this talk ing it definitely out of politics.
 The chairman urged a platform that would be fair to all, not only to labor but also to capital. He charged that some of his recommendations on economic subjects had been mis- represented.
 He restated his 10-point program. which included q clear tariff policy; taking the government out of bust ness; opposition to governm ental price fixing: cooperation between the national committee and members of congress: realization of the necessity for strong leadership in dealing with governmental problems; an intelli- gent. scheme of. farmers relief; CO., operative old-age and unemployment insurance. advocacy of the five day week without reduction in the week ly wage: revision of the sherman act to meet present day conditions, and state control of public utilities.

Chairman Raskob Is Seeking Opinions On
 Prohibition Change
If the Dry Members of Democratic Party Have Solution of Problem He Would Like to Know About It

Washington, April 6.-(UP)-If democratic prohibitions have better plan for solving the liquor problem, John J. Raskob is anxious to hear about it.
 The democratic national chairman has sent to all members of the na- tiona1 committee a letter calling for in the 1882 platform, and partic- ularly stressing the prohibition issue. There had been no advance notice of the letter, which Is looked upon asa direct assault on the prohibitionist position, as we'll as on anti-prohibi- tionists who have advocated equivo- cation in the platform.
 In this connection Raskob said:
 Perhaps it tprohibition) is dan- -erous complication So is cancer a dangerous complication. How silly it would be to disregard the symptoms ot cancer. How silly it must be for the democratic party to disregard ihe prohibition issue because of it's supposed peril!"
 Attacking the assumption that the two major parties are ,inveterate en- ernies, Raskob said they should be regarded instead as instruments of service" He saidsthe nation should demand that a political party dem orstrate "fhe merit of its theory of government as opposed to the tic ories of its opponent" Following out this thesis, he delivered a board de- nunciation of the Hoover administra- tion.
 The Hoover administration, @he said, ''has been inadequate tNshens it has not been wrong, and has to it's credit not a single major accomplish ment for the public good.''
 Referring to the duty of the na- tional committee to make recommen- dations to the convention for plat form purposes, the chairman re- stated his own program. first ad- yanced at the committee session here March s.
 Foremost among the problems he outlined, with tentative solutions, he placed prohibition. which he labelled the most outstanding problem" in that 1t involved the necessity "in some way to reconcile the dry atti- iudes of the party in the South with he liberal attitude of the party in he North. If these opposing peti- ions cannot be reconciled, we must 4quarely face the fact that our party Is really divided into two parties"
 Assailing proposals for an anti prohibitionist presidential candidate and non-commital ''law-enforce- ment" platform. Raskob said:
