AROUSED
OVER SPEECH

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Although
visibly aroused over what they
termed deliberately misleading
insinuation," leading New York
bankers have declined to COM
ment publicly on the inference
in President Roosevelt's Sunday
night broadcast that they we're
not cooperating in the Admin
istration's program. The rebuke
was believed to have neen con-
tanned in the Presidents state
ment that British bankers have
helped their government.
Bitterly resenting the implica-
tons, bankers, however, declined
to speak for quotation.
Informal Defense
Informally, various reasons were
given in defense against the sup
posed attack, including the fact
that American institutions hold a
larger proportion of government
securities as assets than Brit
ism banks. It was also inferred
that British financiers have been
kept NOSE closely advised of gov
eminent policy.
A factor of primary Importance
from the British banking stand
point, one banker stated, was that
Great Britain has balanced her
budget. In this country, he added,
it is case of an unbalanced bud
get with increased taxation.
Other reasons for the coopera-
ton given by the British bankers
were said to include some knowl-
edge that Great Britain went off
gold because it seemed necessary
and not for the purpose of engag-
ing in experiments with money in
accordance with fantastic theo-
ries which run counter to expert
ence."
Hit Silver Policy
Bankers also noted the fact that
Great Britain has not engaged in
"debasement" of the pound ster-
ling by what was characterized as
adulteration of it's managed base
with silver. They further claimed
that the British government has
taken the House of Commons and
the public into it's confidence and
has told all its plans.
Bankers were also quite bitter
in their criticism of the unwilling
ness of the Administration to
treat them with the confidence
in which the British government
holds its financial leaders as the
custodians of the country's CAPT.
tai in the form of deposits"

COTTON PRICES
BREAK ANEW

NEW YORK. Oct. 2 t.N.sD.
Cotton futures tumbled anew to-
day under the influence of
further break in grain prices and
weakness in Liverpool, the local
list dropping to new lows for the
current move.
An overnight accumulation Of
selling orders brought initial
losses Of S to 9 points, but the de-
cline was partially checked by a
demand that was said to be the
best in some time. The improved
buying held futures around open
ing levels in later dealings, despite
continued selling from scattered
sources.
Foreign selling was an early
feature, although there was a good
demand for contracts from the
Far East, especially in December.
Wall Street, the trade and COM
mission houses we're moderate
buyers. while spot house and the
South were aligned on the selling
side.
Noon hour showed losses of to
9 points. October was off 9 at
1912, December off 3 at 1927.
January off at 1929. March off
3 at 1910, May off 4 at 12.46, and
July off 6 at 1880.

IDEA ADVANCED CALLS FOR

Especial tn Th@ cst,.ea,

TALLAHASSEE, June r.
Florida landholders apparently
have entered whole-heartedly into
the idea of 200 foot right of ways
for state highways, the state road
department reported today.
Chairman C. b. Treadway of the
department said the movement in
augurated recently toward widen
ing of present right of ways had
been enthusiastically received by
a majority Of the landowners SO
far approached on the subject.
CAS- a general rule. owners Of
property adjoining principal state
highways have willingly consented
to give sufficient land 10 make the
width 200 feet instead of the gen.
orally existing 100 feet for road
purposes" he stated.
Treadway said the movement
was undertaken principally as a
vehicle for the plan, now under
consideration by a state-appointed
board, to widen the highways
themselves IN order to provide for
the constantly increasing motor
traffic through the state.
''The day IL coming. and IL Is
not far away. when. in the judy
ment of many traffic experts,
four. six, or perhaps eight lane
highways will be necessary" the
chairman said.
Some traffic experts have adj
voeated the establishment Of four

ton, and 1T the same time com

Miss Florence Van Sickler, re-

Miss Randolph is well known

but few hours in Key West when
talking to The Citizen, she ex-
pressed herself as being delighted
with her visit so far.
Another source of pleasure for
Misses Randolph and Owen will be
that they have a mutual friend in
Mobile, Mrs. Harry Pillans, and

/ TALLAHASSEE. June 12.--
The orange or black center-road
stripes that are providing safety
on curves for Florida motorists
will cost the state road department
some $4,000 in labor and paint
before the year is out. Chairman
C. B. Treadway of the state road
department said today.
1.-THE department is making
effort to follow the principles of
Governor Sholtz' safety campaign
by affording automobile and truck
drivers the maximum of safety on
curves by this method" Tread
way stated.
Road department crews have
been busy since> the first of the
year painting or repainting the
broad safety stripes in the center
of highways.
1.-THE general idea is that these
stripesoran on asphalt-cover-
ed highways and black on cement
highways-ha have been placed for
the guidance Of motorists driving
at night" Treadway said. 'This
is for the most part true. but it is
also true that the daytime driy-
er. rounding curve at the pres
ent day rate Of speed, finds con-
siderable comfort in aligning his
car by the aid Of the center-road
