At the same time, The Survey con- tinues, public resources are to be used freely for emergency pur- poses, not only for relief but also for positive stimulation at the points where intervention seems to be needed.

Paris. May 10-(UP)-Anxiety was felt to-day for four columns of the French foreign legion that set out to conquer fierce Berber tribesmen entrenched on the sum- init of Mount Jebel Sagho in the Atlas mountains.
 Despite reassuring communiQues from Rabat. capital of French Morocco, widespread reports that the legion had moved into an ann bush and suffered heavy losses found partial verification in an off, cial communique announcing that the columns had halted to permit the dissidents to remove their dead and wounded"
 The Berbers were entrenched in almost impregnable peaks, Jacques Lorrain, military expert writing il the Echo de Paris, said. He charged that the legion was mov- ing under uncoordinated com mands directed by. vague strategy mapped in distant Rabat.

RIVAL SALVAGE COMPANIES END
 THEIR BATTLE
One Stands Over Wreck of Vessel That Contains S5,000,OOO in Jewels Ship Sank in 1911

. Norfolk, Ea.. May 10.-CUP)- The Bowdoin expedition to salvage s5,000,000 believed entombed in the sunken hulk of the liner Me- rida was anchored over the Ward Line craft to-day in solitary tri- umph, after the rival Hall Evarts syndicate suddenly withdrew from the treasure hunt. With the de- parture of Hall- -Evarts trawlers the coast guard destroyer Davis was expected to relinquish its police role assumed when wireless mes- sages brought reports of imminent strife between the armed expedi- tions.
 Capt H. L. Bowdoin advised coast guards that he was threatened by 'interlopers" and the Hall-Evarts group messaged that they had been driven from their salvage positions by BoWdoins three ships.
 Capt Bowdoin located the liner, which went down in 1911. last fall, he asserted. A report from the commander of the Davis said the Hall l-Evarts group had planted buoys over the Merida and claimed ownership rights in defiance of Capt Bowdoin's insistence on prior ity. The withdrawal leaves the Bowdoin expedition free to ran sack the wreck for jewels report ed aboard.

process of deflation. The closing of the banks last month greatly &C., celerated this process. Not only did it temporarily freeze" bil- lions of dollars in bank deposits. but it resulted in the liquidation of the assets of many banks through the calling of loans and the sale of securities. which have the effect of inhibiting business enterprise and depressing prices.
 To some extent, these defation- ary effects are offset by restora- ton of confidence that has brought money out of hoarding and in- creased the velocity of circulation of currency and deposits. On the other hand, the reduction of more than a billion dollars year in the rate of ordinary federal expendi- ture represents a further defiation- ary influence.
