An appeal for financial aid for
the people of Jehol Province to

The funds will be devoted to mill

Approval Of the Couzens reso-

indicated after today's session of
the House Banking Committee.
The committee, after two hours
of deliberation behind closed
doors, was called into meeting
again this afternoon.
Acting Comptroller of the Cur

Michigan, urged prompt action by
the committee.
Although proposed primarily to
give the Comptroller power to
issue regulations limiting with
drawals Of deposits and making
other restrictions to conform with
the Michigan State banks "dicta-
torship" plan, the legislation is
general.
Block Branch Banking
A disagreement developed in
the committee over language in
the Senate resolution, which some
House members construed to per
NIT the Comptroller to issue regu-
lationS for bliShment of ma
tional bank branches.
The Senate Banking Committee
reported that it had prohibited
the Comptroller from exercising
this authority, but House mem
berS insisted on amendments to
assure against extension Of
branch banking.
Representative Strong (R0 OF

serted that nearly everybody"
favored the resolution and he pre-
dicted it would be favorably re-
ported today.
Results Awaited
Chairman Steagall CD of Ala

the result of this afternoons

The resolution, which was
passed by the Senate yesterday,

Fell was buried yesterday after
noon.
The tragedy occurred on Tues

maintained secrecy until after a

Mrs. Fell during the first SO

The hotel is characteristic of

Bank, Industry Power in
Barrage in Senate

A comparatively small group of
New York banks virtually control
all industrial activity in America
through control of the nations
credit, Senator Norris (RO of
Nebraska told the Senate this
afternoon in a resumption of his
attack on the spider web of Wall
Street"
Norris supported his charge by
disclosing the tremendous num-
Der of directorshipS held in in
dustrial, insurance, utility, trans
portation and other banking cor
porations by directors of New
York banks.
Lists Institutions
He listed the Bank of America,
Manhattan Trust, Chase National
Bank. Chemical Trust. uarantee
Trust, National City Bank and
New York Trust as dominating
several thousand great business
concerns.
Directors in these eight banks,
said Norris, hold directorships in
287 insurance companies, 3Ol
other banks, f21 public utilities,
585 transportation companies, 846
manufacturing companies and
1901 miscellaneous corporations.
Norris said:
THAT shows how these banks
are interlOcked. 1t shows how
they reach out over the coun-
try and handle utilities, control
manufacturers, dominate rail-
roads. Why you can't cut an
appropriation for airplanes with
out stepping on the toes of
Wall Street. These men, who
control the finances, control all
business activity in our cOun-
try"
INTERLOCKING GAINS
Norris then listed "a banks,
having $3.50 directorships in other
corporations. He also told how
the Chase National Bank allegedly
controls the Gas Light Company
He said:
"Here in the shadow of the
|. Capitol we find this octopus.
Between the Chase National
Bank and the gas company,
there are more than a dozen
holding companies and two vOt-
ing trusts. There is no reason
for this maze of holding COM
panies except to deceive the pee-
pie and make it almost impOs-
Sible to properly regulate these
utilities"
Citing another list of Is banks,
Norris pointed out how interlock-
ing directorates have increased.
In 1899 these Is banks held 1852
directorships in other corpora
tions, he said; in 1918 the number
increased to 1926 and in 1881 to
5,342.

LONDON, Feb. % Q.N.S0.-The
United States is conducting con-

don today.
The Manchurian imbroglio was
understood to have been an i'm
portant topic for discussion be-

ambassadors when they conferred
with him in New York.
It was said both France and
England want to know how far
the United States would go in
supporting drastic attempts by
the League of Nations to halt the
Sino-Japanese conflict.
The British government con-
siders an arms embargo against
Japan chiefly dependent upon
action by the United States.
Unless Washington agrees to ban
shipment of munitions to Tokyo,
officials said, it is unlikely Euro

A cloud Of gloom hung over
the Army today as it awaited
President Roosevelt's action on
the $144,000,000 slash in War
Department appropriations de-
manded by the Bureau of the
Budget.
Secretary of War Dern's state
ment that the slash would neces-
state a reduction of Army per-
sonnel by from 1000 to 5000
officers and 10000 to $4,000 en-
listed men had the Army par
ticularly upset.
Veteran officers declared it
would demoralize the Army and
cause the cessation of all civilian
activities.
The Army, it was pointed out,
already is smarting under what
it considers the injustice of the
reforestation scheme, whereby
the men working in the camps
receive $50 per month while the
regular enlisted men Of the Army
who are called upon to aid in
supervising administration will
receive only slightly above SIT
per month under the recent is
per cent pay slash.
Now another $90,000,000 has
been ordered cut out of the
$271 100000 War Department
appropriation for military ex-
