BANKING CHANGE
Says Present Plan Offers
Private Finance Opening
to Regain Position.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, February 2-For the
new world in finance" Raymond
Moley urged yesterday flair measure
Of private initiative held under strong
and carefully articulated public super
vision"
The man who was closely identified
with the campaign Of Franklin D.
Roosevelt and the early days of his
administration enunciated this prin-
ciple in discussing the banking situa-
ton in his magazine Today.
Moley set forth five situations that
mark the contemporary scene" as the
chief forces that challenge the per-
manency Of individualism and private
ownership in banking:
1. The absorption of banking re-
sources by the financial necessities of
the new budget.
2. The movement Of Government
credit agencies into fields abandoned
by privately owned banks.
Sees Bank Limitations.
3. The limited supply OF the kind
Of banking asset upon which, it is
said. sound banking system should
be built.
4. The recognition by political forces
Of the fact that the control of credit
is the control of the Nation.
5. The loss of self confidence by
| bankers themselves.
On the political forces figuring in
the banking situation, the former As
sistant Secretary of State had this
to say:
If we are to have a managed cur
| rency, We must have a managed
credit and If we are to avoid chaos
and destruction the management
must be vested in the same source of
power. It may be that this control
can be achieved through Government
| supervision Of privately banks.
But If things go wrong, the irresistible
| tendency of Congress would be to as
| scribe the failure to private owner
ship rather than to public control and
to move to abolish private ownership
completely.
Credit Control Vital.
The control of credit is the CEN
trail problem of recovery and if it is
not achieved one way it will be
achieved another"
Declaring that the President has
properly pointed out that there is no
/ suggestion of finality in the control
he is assuming for himself in the
process of managing the currency"
| Moley wrote:
The control he is holding is in
tended to provide some measure Of
guidance while private banking en-
| terprise is attempting to pull itself to-
| gether and assume as much as pos
| sible Of the burden"

Jones said. however, that Russia,

The r. F. G. chairman emphasized
that the trade financing plan was in
preliminary stage. Any loans made,
he said, would be on q temporary
basis He believed no considerable
funds would be required.
The corporation, Jones said later In
press conference. had received no
requests from the Russian Ambassa-
dor nor from any other Soviet agency
for new credit. II, he said, the cor
poration had any further dealings
with Russia 1t probably would be in
the same manner as in the past
through the Amtorg Trading Corpora
ton, Soviet trade agency.
The r. F. c. official expressed a be-
Lief that In dealing with Russia the
trading would be done by an exchange
Of goods rather than cash. He added,
however, that trade Of that type
would, Of course, have to be financed
by some individual or agency.

White House Pastor Praises
Religious Life of Roosevelt
Ne,U Deal Founded on
Spiritual Truth, Rec.
tor Declares.
President Paid Special
Attention to Sermon
on Miracles.

President Roosevelt Is . good
churchman, and the new deal has q
spiritual foundation.
Such is the testimony of Rev. DR..
c. Ernest Smith. rector of st. Thomas
Episcopal Church, pastor Of the White
House family and for many years a
friend of the Chief Executive, Mrs.
Roosevelt and their children.
Interviewed in his study, DIR. Smith
was ardent and frank in his express
sion Of admiration for the example
which the Roosevelts have set for
other citizens in maintaining the reg
ularity of their religious life in the
face Of other claims upon their time
and energy. He also gave his own
estimation of the new deal.
II believe the Presidents recovery
ideals are founded on his religious
faith. his spiritual convictions" DR..
Smith said. II think he understands
that in the decade before the World
War there was a serious ebb tide Of
religion. Critics have blamed the
great struggle in Europe for the de-
cline of interest in the church, but
that IS not true-it was the decline
that made possible the war and the
terrible economic disorder which fol-
lowed the strife.
Sick Of Materialism.
"NoW men are beginning to realize
again that religion is necessary. Peo-
pie are sick of materialism. The new
deal is not just scheme to improve
business and industry. 1t Is a new
spiritual order as we'll. its roots are
fastened in spiritual truth. A spiritual
rebirth was needed and it Is taking
place
Il meet many people in my work
and find many of them poorer in the
worlds goods than they once were,
but immeasurably richer in spiritual
wealth. l think people are happier,
more cheerful than a few years ago.
They understand that in spite of all
kinds of losses and troubles they still
have many blessings to be thankful
for. Out of the chaos. believe. a

Only when absence from the city OF

asked, If mere human beings can

RUSSIA STUDIED
President Considers Step
to Provide Financing for
Trade With Soviet.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt is considering
creation Of a banking corporation
here to serve as a medium for
financing Russian trade.
Details are being worked out by
Jesse Jones, chairman Of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation, and
William c. Bullitt, Ambassador to
Russia, who will depart for his post

The idea Of the plan Is to organize
an agency which can establish GER
tain Endorsements Of loans to Russia.
1t would not be a strict credit propo-
sition, but rather would involve the
financing of exporters who would
share in the business risk.
The amount OF money involved in
the Russian trade has not been esti-
mated. The administration is seek
