is partly due to desire In
Washington to give independent
state banks an even start with
members of the federal reserve
system. -.
Secretary of Treasury Woodin
indicated that federal reserve
member banks which are permit
ted to reopen must open up 100
per cent or remain under cur
rent holiday restrictions. This
was taken to mean that banks
could not reopen unless they
abandoned percentage Withdraw
al restrictions which many banks
had applied before the holiday.
ANY member bank not open
ed 100 per cent under this pro-
cedure will be permitted to con-
tinue to perform only such specl-
! fic transactions as are now
authorized or may hereafter be
authorized by specific regula-
ton or license of the secretary
of the treasury" he sadi. -,
The reopening will proceed
simultaneously along two lines:
Banks which are members
of the federal reserve system,
and this includes many state
banks which have Joined the fed
eral system are getting permls-
sion from the treasury depart
ment to reopen on a showing
that thew are sound and solvent.
They file their applications with
their respective federal reserve
| banks. These applications are
passed on at Washington and
/ then the federal reserve bank
will issue the licenses to APPROX
ed banks.
2-State banks which do not
belong to the federal reserve
system should apply to their
state superintendent of banks,
These state officials will be
authorized by the treasury to
give licenses within their discre-
ton.
This distinction Of treatment
| is due to the fact that while ted
eraI authorities have access to
the papers of banks belonging
to the federal reserve system
thew have no such information
as to the independent state
! banks and must therefore rely on
state banking officials.
Naturally banks in cities where
clearing houses operate will have
some advantage in the speed of
reopening, it was said here, be-
cause federal officials will be
able to check their condition
more quickly.
The gold restrictions will be
rightly maintained throughout.
1t is explained in official
quarters and as was explained
by the United Press at the time,
| that the chief purpose OF the
presidents proclamation Thurs
day night extended the holiday
was for the purpose of deciar-
ing the existence of the emerg-
ency and retaining control over
the situation. The reopening
process is to be accomplished 0oy
making exceptions to the holl-
day restrictions.
Considering IN t congress
rushed through the emergency
bank law only SO hours ago, ad-
ministration officials feel that
rapid progress is being made IN

Mr., Stimson's
INTERPRETATION

But the somewhat belated
if benevolent Interpretation
which Secretary Hull now
places upon the purposes Of
this resolution since it has
been subjected to senatorial
dissection, would seem to he
entirely contradicted by Mr..
Stimson, who preceded him
as Secretary of State.
Speaking for President
Hoover, Secretary Stimson
advocated during the last
Congress the adoption of an
arms embargo resolution of
the same sweeping character
as that which Secretary Hull
succeeded in getting through
the House a few weeks ago.
But Mr.. Stimson did not
say that he was asking
Congress to surrender to the
President a power that was
to be used only against Latin
American republics. He did
not deny that this power to
impose an embargo might be
used in Europe or in Asia.
And Mr.. Stimson's under
standing of the purpose Of
this proposed legislation is
apparently the understand
ing which Mr.. Macdonald
and M. Herriot now have.

by Republican President is

President Hoover Secretary
