The Administration would guar
antee deposits only in Federal
Reserve member banks. It would
start the guarantee July l, 1884,
in order to give State banks an
opportunity to join the Federal
Reserve System.
McAdOo Seeks Change
A Federal bank insurance cor
poration would be created to take
over the affairs of closed banks
and pay off depositors from the
insurance fund.
Senator McAdoo CD of Cali
fornia was reported preparing an
amendment to make the insurance
apply at once on deposits up to
$4,000. He may propose to in
clude State banks in this inSur-
ance on the strength Of mere
application for membership in the
Federal Reserve System.
Senator Long CD of Louisiana,
leader of the State bank group,
demanded the bill provide the
same guarantee for State banks
as for Federal banks.

Of TEETH
IN ROOSEVELT
PLAN CITED
Held in Class With Kellogg
Pact in This Respect; U. S.
Awaits Nations Replies
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES

BY GEORGE X. HOLMES
President Roosevelt's appeal
for international peace and dis
armament was under study today
in Sd world capitals, while Wash.
ington expectantly awaited the
response.
Mr.. Roosevelt asked the rulers
of the world directly to enter into
a solemn pact not to dispatch
armed forces "of whatsoever ma
ture" across frontiers, and to out
law offensive weapons of warfare.
Barriers Ahead
Generally, the response Is eX-
pected to be favorable. But it is
recognized there are formidable
barriers ahead of the plan, and
that great diplomacy will be nee
essary to make it effective.
The chief opposition is expected
to come from Japan, whose armies
are now overrunning China with
every kind of offensive war
weapons known to man; from
France, where there is talk of
reinvading Germany under the
sanctions clause of the Versailles
treaty; and from Germany, which,
under the bombaStic rule of Hit
Ter, is dreaming of regaining lost
provinces and prestige.
"Way To Disarln'
Literally applied, the Roose'
welt formula would end offensive
warfare and freeze" existing
boundary lines where they now
are. 1t would prevent the dis
patch of punitive expeditions
such as the United States sent
into Mexico in 1915, and the
frequent dispatch of United States
Marines ino various Caribbean
countries over a long span Of
years.
"The way to disarm is to
diSarm."
On one phase of the matter
and a most important phase-Mr
RooSevelt'S message to the nations
and his later message to Congress
were silent.
This concerned the matter OF
enforcement of the nonaggression
pact. Nowhere in the messages
was there any intimation of how
it could be enforced.
The skeptics Immediately point
ed out that most of the powers to
which the President addressed
himself already were committed
to approximately the same thing
through their signatures to the
Kellogg BRAND anti-war pact. In
that agreement, the nations of the
world "solemnly pledged" them
Japan's running amok in China
selves not to go to war.
Teeth Lacking
The Kellogg BRAND pact had no
reinforcement teeth" It rested en-
tirely upon promises, and how
weak that foundation was has beer
attested by the Japanese rape Of
China, and sporadic outbreaks oi
international conflict in Other
parts of the world.
If the United States, in subse
quent negotiations, agrees to en-
ter an international compact tc
enforce the terms of the Roose
velt proposal, it will mark ar
epochal change in American for
eign policy.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Though
