more serviceable our whole banking sys"
tenn. By doing that we shall bring a
powerful force, an indispensable force,
into action to speed recovery.
Big Task Lies Ahead.
There is a big job to be done in
having the eight or nine thousand state
banks apply and be examined and have
their needs considered and acted on be-
tween now and January l. The queS-
tions involved need to be considered
from the standpoint of the recovery
effort in general, from the banking
standpoint, public welfare and the well
fare of depositors and borrowers. ThlS
means that many decisions have to be
reached wisely from all these angles and
that an effort be put forth to promote
the interest and cooperation OF every
bank in our program as well as that
Of all the State Governments. To facili-
tate this work I nave suggested to the
r. F. G. that they set up special al
vision for bank cooperation In recovery
and make recommendations to the
ferred stock This will be done and will
follow the plan announced last week for
dealing with closed bank loans. The
head Of this new division will be Mr..
Harvey Couch, a member of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation Board
and serving with him on the Advisory
Administrative Committee in charge of
this effort will be Mr.. Jesse Jones, the
chairman of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation Board, ex-officio, and the
following:
Eugene Black, Governor Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board.
Dean Acheson, Undersecretary of the
Treasury.
Lewis Douglas, Director Of the Budget.
j. F. T. O'Connor. Controller of the
Currency.
Walter j. Cummings, Chairman OF

Gold Plan to Help World, Economists
Believe.

PARIS. October "a CP.-A more
stable American dollar was foreseen
and welcomed today by French none
tary and economic authorities as a re-
suit of President Roosevelt's new policy,
but some criticized as inadequate" the
gold-buying and industrial-value none
tary program.
Spokesman for gold bloc nations, who
fought for stabilized currencieS during
the World Economic Conference last
Summer, said they were greatly pleased
with the American Presidents an
nouncement that Government market
for gold would be established.
These spokesmen said the gold bloc
had been seeking to end dollar fluctua-
tons and hoped President Roosevelt
would succeed in his plans. They
added, however, they were not familiar
with all details of the project.
One representative expressed the gold
bloc belief that there already is some
understanding concerning the British
equalization fund and pointed out Sir
Frederick Leith-RoSs of the British
treasury now is in Washington.
Others pointed out the six gold bloc
currencies (of France, Italy, Belgium
Switzerland, Germany and HollanO
had strengthened since an agreement
to stay on gold and that the American
action was expected to reinforce them.
Dr.. Robert Eisler. a noted Austrian
monetary expert. who will sail for the
United States Wednesday to study the
situation. said: "Mr. Roosevelt's gold
plan Is exactly what Is needed to give
the farmer dollar wheat in due time
He added: Buying gold will alter the
value of the dollar in terms Of gold
and the price of wheat in terms Of gold
will automatically be modified also.
This is better than sudden devalua-
tion. because II can be as gradual as
One high financial authority said the
American scheme is really sort OF
stabilization," which will affect ster-
ling, because both America and England
will be utilizing equalization procedures. /"
Luclen Rom1er, prominent econo-
mist. believes the plan "is not real
stabilization," however. He listed three
factors he called necessary for the
United States. as follows:
"First, a reasonable amount of none
tary inf1ation second. further devalua-
ton during period of imitation; third.
Stabilization Immediately afterward
This should be followed by the stabili-
zatton of the pound. and when the
dollar and pound are stabilized pros
perity will come"
The United States, he added, requires
larger world markets and agricultural
diverSification.

ritorial possessions of the United States.
legal experts have pointed out, are sub
gard to changes in liquor laws. They
must await action by Congress before
there can be prohibition or repeal Of
prohibition.
In the case Of the States. Cummings
has ruled that the Volstead act auto
matically will be nullified with repeal
of the eighteenth amendment, no &C.
ton by Congress being necessary.
After the remainder of the country
goes wet. therefore, prohibition will re-
main in full effect in the District and
the territories-so far as laws on the
books are concerned. Not only will
Washington's aridity be guarded by pro-
visions of the Volstead law, but there
will be the added barrier Of the clause
in the repeal amendment protecting
dry territory from liquor leakage across
boundary lines separating them from
wet States
While there has been no offlcial in
dication that vigilance in prohibition
enforcement will be relaxed in the Dis
trict after repeal, it was recalled that
Cummings instructed his dry agents not
long ago TO concentrate on the big
fellows" rather than waste time and
meager funds on small violators."
This policy will continue in the District
after repeal, it is understood.
Will Enforce All Laws.
United States Attorney Leo A. Rover.
whose resignation is expected to take
effect before repeal of the eighteenth
amendment. said as long as he is in
Office he will continue to enforce all
Federal laws. including the Volstead act.
Corporation Counsel w. w. Bride was
among the first legal authorities here
to arrive at the conclusion the VOL
stead act would be in force In the Dis
trict after prohibition is repealed else
where Senator King studied the prob
lem for some time and arrived at .
similar opinion.
Cummings turned the question over
to a group of attorneys in the depart
ment. and also discussed the matter
with President Roosevelt. 1t was said
recently at the White House that Cum
mings had informed the President the
local liquor law situation was "one OF
the most difficult problems" confronting
the department in its study of the legal
status growing out of repeal.

in the Six-round semi windup.
They came to scorn but were made
to praise" was the thought running
through Tuffy's mind as he left the
ring a victor and returned a short
time later to issue public challenge
to any fighter his weight in North
Dakota, which, incidentally, was i'm
nlediately accepted by Jack Kane, St.
Cloud, MINI.
A majority Of the fans went to the
World War Memorial building in the
hopes that Tuffy would take beat
ing. Instead, fighting the best bout
of his career and exhibiting far more
boxing ability than many thought he
possessed, fluffy won a clear-cut de-
cision over his rugged Fargo oppo-
nent.
Caught Fans Fancy
Though the headliner easily was
the class of the card, it failed to
catch the fancy OF the fans as did
the siX-round semi windup, thanks TO
Massetts undeniable showmanship.
From the start it was apparent
Howard was intent upon kayolng

New York, Jan. 12.-(ReThe pow

greatest Of all polo players.
For the 18th straight year Hitch
cock was given the highest possible
handicap rating-l0 goals-by the
handicap committee Of the q. 8. Polo
association. Since Lewis Lacey. the
Anglo-Argentine star, and the vet
eran Devereux Milburn, who has re-
tired from big-time competition, were
dropped from that level, Hitchcock
has been the worlds only l0-goal
player.
Just behind him on the list was
placed Cecil Smith, the brilliant
Texan, whose play during the summer
on Long Island fields earned him an
increase from eight to nine goals
Winston Guest. the burly young inter-
nationalist who played so effectively
during the recent successful invasion
Of South America, also was raised
going from seventh to eight goals and
off-setting q loss he suffered last
summer.

better boxer, won a sl1rp margin in

however, and he came back to win

was went to Kane.
