ed and increased in numbers SO rapid
ly that after several years the Govern
ment experiment was proclaimed
great success. Since then the reindeer
has taken its place as an important
part Of the food supply Of Western
Alaska. In fact. the reindeer proved
SO satisfactory that the official enter
prise was thrown open to private initia-
tive.
Went Into the BusinesA
And here is where the Lomen BROTH
ers stepped In. They were of the hardy
prospector type of the North, eager for
new fields of effort, ready to take q
chance. I don't suppose that anybody
in the previous history of the world
had ever taken a flyer in Renders
Preferred. but that's what the Lomens
did They went into the reindeer busi-
ness, and bought and bred huge herds.
Thus they became known as the Rein
natural that in the Summer Of 1929 a
conference took place between Carl Lo-
men and a minister of the Canadian
government.
I'VE want to get a herd OF reindeer
to Richard Island" That was the gist
of what the Canadian had to say-and
it was saying plenty. Richard Island
lies off the Canadian Arctic shore. It's
a thousand miles from the reindeer
herds of Western Alaska thousand
miles as the crow flies, only there aren't
any crows up there.
Good Lord" protested Carl Lomen,
you know as we'll as I do what job
that is. You'd have to drive herd
North to the Arctic Ocean and then
along the shore. Nobody has ever
made all that trip There aren't even
any maps Most of the region is just
a blank space. All you can figure on is
snow and ice and blizzards. 1t would
take years to drive herd to Richard
Island, and maybe 1t is impossible"
The minister Of the Ottawa govern
ment replied with grim brevity: 1T
will have to be done or our Canadian
Eskimos are a doomed people. They
will starve It's simple matter Of life
or death"
Carl Lomen thought it over silently.
Then he said All right, we'll try it.
In fact we will guarantee to deliver
herd of reindeer to Richard Island. But

tons and deposit accounts.
In recent conferences a compromise
on the question of security affiliates has
been under consideration Senator
Glass is understood to have expressed
willingness to permit the banks to re-
tain their security aff1liates for five
years instead of three. This does not
satisfy those who believe the affliates
serve a useful purpose. There is an
element of partisanship in the dispute
as the Democratic platform called for
complete separation of the afflliates
from the banks while the Republican
platform provided only for strict su-
perviSion.
Loans for "Others."
Those who have sought to justify the
workings of the Federal Reserve System
during the speculative crisis have at
tributed a major part of the difficulties
to the funds poured into the stock mar
ket under the designation of loans for
"others." The loans for Others" rep

Zation of the huge surpluSeS built up
by large corporations in the period OF

$3907 100000 out of the total brokers
loans amounting to S6804 100000 on
October g 1929. The brokers' loans
had increased to that tremendous fig
ure from So 1872 900, 900 on January 26,
1927.

The hearings before the Glass sub
committee brought the complaint
from Mr. Miller that eve have had too
much imitation in the Federal Reserve
System and that Its favorite instru-
ment Is the open market purchase OF
securities" Open market operations
we're pictured as a tremendously power
full weapon which does not always
shoot in the direction it Is supposed
to as, for example, when the purchases
ef 1927 contributed substantially to the
speculative orgy which developed
through 1928 and 1929.
For the purpose of keeping open mar
ket operations under control the bill
creates. under the supervision of the
Federal Reserve Board, a Federal Open
Market Committee consisting of one
member from each of the II Federal
Reserve districts. This legalizes a sys-
tenn developed during the past few
years without specific authority OF

ence upon Federal Reserve policies. To
keep the Treasury out of the picture,
the bill eliminates the Secretary of the
Treasury as an eX-officio member of

controller Of the currency as the only
eX-Officio member 1t Is contended
that the board could have checked the
imitation, which preceded the deflation
of 1920, II 1t had sharply increased re-
discount rates as urged by business in
terestS. The reason it did not do so
was that the Treasury officials were in
sistent that rates be kept at a low
level to facilitate the floating of Victory

Encourages Branch Banking.
As means Of safeguarding the sys-
tenn from undue influence exerted by
foreign banking interests, with whom
officials of the New York Federal Re-
serve Bank have in the past maintained
close connections, all relationships with
foreign interests are brought under the
immediate control of the Federal Re
serve Board by the bill.
10 provide greater assurance OF
safety for depositors, the bill encour-
ages the development of branch bank
ing. This feature of the measure has
been one of the most controversial.
The influence of former Controller Of
the Currency John w. Pole, who con-
tended that the chief hope of strength
enlng the banking situation in the rural
areas lies in branch banking. has been
felt in this phase of the legislation.
Under the bill as approved by the
Senate Banking and Currency Commit
tee last Spring, Statewide branch
banking by national banks with capi-
tai of S500.OO0 or more is permitted,
regardless OF State laws. In exceptional
cases the branches may cross State
lines provided a branch is not more
than so miles from the location of the
parent bank. Mr.. Pole, with the sup
port Of the Secretary of the Treasury
and the Federal Reserve Board, had
trade areas adjacent to commercial
centers without regard to State lines OF
State laws.
AS q concession to the opponents OF
branch banking, who view with alarm
any increase In power Of large bank
ing groups, Senator Glass and his COL
leagues on the subcommittee which
framed the bill, have agreed tentatively
IN recent conferences to restrict the
proposed privileges. Under the latest
amendment Statewide branch bank
ing by national banks would be limited
to States where branch banking is per
mitted by State banks. This proposed
amendment may be modified so as to
exclude from branch banking privileges
only IA States where statutes specifi-
cally prohibit branch banking, letting

contain neither an authorization mol

ARIS.-On the divergence Of view
- which has arisen in the United
States between President Hoover
i and President-elect Roosevelt
on the subject Of the procedure
to be adopted concerning the war debts,
1 prefer not to comment.
I have the deepest respect for both
high personageS, and besides I do not
feel that I have the right to intervene
in a discussion that only concerns the
citizens of the United States.
Moreover, it may be noted my own
position puts me outside OF the discus
sion. why was I overthrown? Be
cause I considered that after vainly
having tried to obtain moratorium,
we must pay as We had undertaken
to do and resume negotiations after
ward
What want to do Is to clear up the
misunderstanding which has made its
appearance in the newspapers. 1t was
suggested that the French budget for
1882 allow for payment of the install
ment. If this had been so, I should
have paid directly and taken the risk
of being challenged by the motion of
censure later. But the truth is. it was
pay without the vote Of the Chamber
of Deputies. That vote was refused me.
We therefore we're faced with dis
agreement which places the American
people and the French in opposition.
I would like to speak to both sides ac-
cording to what believe to be the truth.
The world crisis has given rise to a
great deal of suffering in the United
States as it has in Europe. And IN both
France and the United States We have
been guilty of the fault of accusing
each other instead Of trying jointly to
find the cure for our troubles in a great
international effort. AS long as we
place the two continents In opposition
to each other, just so long shall we lose
our way.
In the United States a campaign
against France has been allowed to de-
velop. In particular, we have been
attacked with the argument about our
gold reserve, about which we must really
have a very friendly but thorough ex-
PLANTATION one of these days. It has
been forgotten that France, after four
wears of invasion, suffered terrible dam
age and, after having spent her all in
the war, she had to undertake the
enormous effort for reparations.
If cur American friends had seen Ger
tain towns of the north, such as CAM
bria or Albert, destroyed stone by stone;
If they had seen fields sown with shells,
and themselves known like disaster.
then they would understand what
France has considered to be morally
indisputable In the reparations debt.
From the treaty Of peace to the
Dawes plan, to the establishment of
which I contributed; from the Dawes
plan to the Young plan and from the
Young plan to Lausanne, we have seen
a continuous reduction In the sum
which we were to receive. The United
States has been wrong to listen to the
devilish propaganda which has been
carried on against France and against
which France, perhaps, has been al the
less able to struggle because there are

WINSTON SALEM, N. c., July 6.
Smith Reynolds, 21-year- heir
to the $20,000,000 Reynolds tobacco
estate, died at 5:25 a. m. today of
a self-inflicted bullet wound. He
was said to have been cleaning a
gun just before the shot was heard.
Young Reynolds, playboy and
aviation enthusiast, who recently
left his Broadway night club haunts
to prepare for an aeronautics exam
nation, married Libby Holman,
night club and theatrical singer,
several weeks ago.
A guest at barbecue, held at
the Reynolds estate Tuesday night.
said he had left Reynolds in his
room, and had returned downstairs
to lock up the house for the night
when he heard the report of the
gun.
His wife screamed" he said. IT
ran unstairs, and Reynolds lay on
the floor, wound near his right
ear. Mrs. Reynolds had dropped
beside him."
Said He Was Cleaning Gun
This guest said Reynolds had
been cleaning gun.
Smith was in his room when 1
went down to lock up for the night"
the guest related. ct heard the
guns report, and then his wife
screamed"
The young heir had been study
ing hard, the guest said, in order
to pass examinations for the school
of aeronautics at New York uni
versity.
HE had a tutor down from New
York to help him."
At the barbecue Tuesday night
there were only eight or ten guests.
Reynolds was perfectly normal
when he and the one guest who re-
manned all night went into the
house" the guest asserted. There
had been no drinking"
Had 20 Millions Coming
A few more years and Reynolds
would have received in full the $780,
100000 estate inherited from his
parents, due to be given him on his
twenty eighth birthday.
A smaller fortune has been avail
able to him for several years, and
only year ago he established a
100000 trust fund for his first
wife, the daughter of Joseph F.
Cannon, Concord IN. c., towel and
linen manufacturer.
Reynolds and Miss Cannon we're
married at o'clock in the morn
ing at York, S. c., attended by a
wedding party which included the
brides father, policeman, an as
sistant city clerk, and the daugh-
ter of the officiating judge. The
divorce at Reno followed a short
time later.
Marriage Announced May 20
The second marriage, announced
May 20 in New York, took place
while Reynolds and Miss Holman
were abroad.
The young heir had sworn that he
would not remarry, despite repeated
rumors that he had threatened to
kill himself unless Miss Holman, a
Cincinnati university graduate, con-
Sented to marry him at once.
And last fall, when Mrs. Reynolds
went to Reno to live at the dude
ranch conducted by Cornelius Van
derbilt Jr, her husband piloted his
own plane to Reno carrying his di-
vorce-seeking wife, and her infant
daughter as passengers.
