SOLVENT,
BANKS HELPED
BY CREDIT CORP,

Further explanation of the working
plan of the giant National Credit cor
poration, now in process of forma-
ton under the sponsorship of Presi-
dent Hoover, with especial emphasis
upon the fact that only solvent banks
can participate in the loans of the cor
poration, was contained in a letter re-
ceived in Salisbury from John M.
Miller of Richmond, prominent bank
er and a director in the newly formed
corporation.
II have never understood that the
National Credit corporation, through
its associations in the various sections,
should take over frozen assets from
insolvent banks, MOI to advance mon
ey on the assignment of deposits iii 4
closed bank.
"The monies of the associations are
to be loaned only when necessary in
the judgment of the loan committees
and upon sound and satisfactory as
sets offered as collateral by the Dor
rowing banks, which in the judgment
of the loan committees are solvent.

PROTECT WHITES
IN SOUTH AFRICA
BY RIGID LAWS

One of the most complete motion
picture censorship bills ever framed
was passed in South Africa several
weeks ago.
One clause calls for censoring of
posters Of scenes the censorship board
dosn't like. Idea back of that, as ex-
planned, is not to show the white race
up to ridicule before the native
Negroes Or anything which vaguely
hints at white men not being superior.
Among the things forbidden by
the new censorship rules ire:
Impersonation of the King.
Holding up to ridicule OR contempt
any member of the Kings military
or naval forces.

Losses will have to be borne by
the banks of each association pro rata
and l take it that the loan conia.-
tees in the various associations will en-
deavor to avoid losses. I can see that
it will take some time to liquidate

make, but ultimate liquidation of the

templated in every case"

POLICY
ASSAILED BY
DEMO CHIEF

WASHINGTON. Sept. IL. -tP-
A sharp difference of opinion over
tax revision at the next session Of
congress is held by administration
republicans.
This was emphasized yesterday
when Sen. Watson Of Indiana. the
republican floor leader, declared ut
the White House that he was OPP
posed to q revision at this time.
His view on how to meet the
treasury deficit this year differed
from the revision proposals of
Sen. Reed Of Pennsylvania. and
Rep. Bacharach Of New Jersey,
also administration followers.
Raps New Burdens
AT the same time, Sen. Har-
rison, Of Mississippi. ranking DEM
ocrat on the finance committee
said in q statement through the
democratic national committee
that ~of all times this is the WORSE
for men in high places to talk
about increasing burdens upon the
American public"
Sen. Watson said II would be q
mistake to attempt to revise the
revenue system at the next ses-
sion. because, he added, 1t would
have an unsettling influence upon
business generally.
The difference Of opinion was
voiced while President Hoover Is
studying the problem OF whether
to recommend a change In the
revenue system or TO continue the
treasury practice OF borrowing
money through long term bond
issues and short term financing
to meet the deficit created by de-
Ginning receipts and growing ex-
penditures.
Sen. Reed is sponsoring a gen.
eral tax Of one-hafl of n per
cent upon all sales OF commodities.
He said II no additional revenue
was forthcoming we must then
put our foot down on the farm
board. on any further appropria-
tions for stabilizing operations
and we must say no to the Amer
lean Legion, the eVterans Of For
eign Wars and other veterans or

Watson expressed faith In the
ability Of Secretary Mellon TO
secure funds to meet expenditures
during the depression and urged
that the people find where we
stand before going into the reyi-
sion II 1t is necessary.
His view met the approval Of Sen.
Hatfield. republican. West Virginia,
who said he was fearful Of the
consequences q revision would have
on business conditions generally.
Rep. Bacharach had advocated
IN increase In the income taxes In
the upper brackets along with q
gift tax, but Sen. Harrison said
the federal finances we're not in q
strained condition.
I'VE have q deficit. It's true
the Mississippian said. resulting
from the narrow and selfish poll
ctes OF the Hoover administration,
which slowed down business and
deprived the government OF rea.
sonable revenues.
But II must not be forgotten
that for the last ten years. under
the leadership OF Mr.. Mellon, n
secretary Of the treasury. from 25(
to $50 millions Of dollars annually
were collected by the government
