NOTE PRIVILEGE
OF BANKS SCORED
British Economist Sees Terribly
Depressing" Effect of $1,000
100000 Proposal.
BY the Associated Press.


WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, August 6.
The proposal in the last of the So
called reconstruction acts to increase
the note-iSsuing privilege of national
banks by 81, 900 100000 was deplored as
terribly depressing" today by Dr. T. E.
Gregory of the London School of Eco
nomicS
1T seems to me very indicative of
the decentralization, not of the public,
but of the Government, that it should
deliberately fall back on an antiquated
method of allowing the volume Of cur
rency in this country to expand" he
told the Institute of Politics.
At the same time, he said the faults
Of the banking system in the United
States are commonly known to all econ
omistS.
Evidently referring to the recent or
ganization Of a $4,000, 600 wheat pool,
under the direction of Arthur w. Cut
ton of Chicago, DR.. Gregory asked:
What is the news that so inspired
the stock market yesterday morning
and will presumably inspire 1t to a
greater extent today?
1T Is the news that with the en-
couragement Of certain governmental
agencies it is proposed to repeat, on a
smaller scale, II years after the failure
of the Federal Farm Board, exactly the
same policy the Federal Farm Board
followed until it was swept out Of ex-
istence as a stabilizing organization.

COTTON SYNDICATE
JARED FORMING
Mill Interests Reported to Be
Preparing to Buy Farm
Board Holdings.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 8.-The Times
SAYS a syndicate of big cotton mill in
tereSts is being formed with powerful
banking support to purchase the 3,OOO,-
900 bales of cotton held either directly
or indirectly by the Federal Farm
Board.
The new organization will not be
pool or holding syndicate, the Times
says, but will purchase the Government
holdings for consumption by the mills
in an orderly way over a period of
years.
The operation. it was estimated,
would involve fund of at least $780,
100000.
The newspaper says the disposal Of
the Farm Boards cotton in this man
ner would fit in with the proposed
commodity credit plan of Eugene
Meyer, governor Of the Federal Re-
serve Board and until recently chair
man of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. He has been working on
plans to make credit easier to the
larger users or consumers of raw mate
rials, especially agricultural staples.
The Farm Board, in its stabilization
efforts, purchased about 100000 bales
of cotton two years ago, and the Times
says the Government agency subse-
quently advanced funds to cotton CO.
operatives on about 100000 bales.
The new syndicate proposes to buy
all of this cotton left, except 500 900
bales donated to the Red Cross by
Congress. 1t is reported that the syn
dicate will start deliveries of cotton one
year hence and complete them within
three years of that date.
The price will be approximately the
average price for the next two or three
years.

self, KernS said:

During these months the Secretary

and much craftsmanship to keep Amer

The only way he could do this was by
standing by the obligations and en-
gagements America and all the other
governments of the world undertook to
observe when they signed certain in

Shouting, cheering, singing, some 500
veterans, members of the Pennsylvania,
New York, New Jersey and New Eng
land contingents, marched from their
suualid billets to be loaded on train
amid cheers of crowds lining the tracks.
AS the train puffed eastward, its
whistle shrieking, the last chapter OF the
Johnstown encampment was written in
smoke in the dying rays Of a broiling
sun.
Music at Departure.
A fife and drum corps escorted the
marchers to the train. They sang while
the corps played patriotic airs, said SO
long" to Mayor Eddie McCloskey-and
were gone.
The same air Of uncertainty pervaded
among the departing horde as marked
the first arrivals after McCloskey in
vited them to this city week ago.
Interest centered in the news that
Carter wired President Rubio of Mexico,
seeking permission to establish colony
of the B. E. F. there. Carters tele-
gram. dispatched from Huntington, W.

fused admission to the various States,

for temporary colonization in Mexico.
Your earnest consideration will be ap-
preciated."
Win Wait for Reply.
Carter said he plans to stay in Hunt
ington until Rubio replies to his mes
sage.
The bonus seekers who left today
won their point-"a ride on the cush-
ions" They had steadfastly refused to
leave in box cars.
Some of the veterans said they are
ready to follow their leader, w. w.
Waters, If another march is planned
when Congress meets in December
others declared they are through with
any campaign except at the polls.
Departure of the train climaxed an
other day of wrangling. McCloskey
sought Intellectually all day yesterday
to dicker with the Pennsylvania Rail-
road for a train. Then Eddie Atwell,
Waters representative, stepped in and
arranged to finance the train through
national headquarters.
Nine members of the army were left
behind, all in hospitals. Several of
these are children. Highway patrolmen
reported some stragglers, who decamped
yesterday, are still roaming about the
mountains.
