INDUSTRIAL BANKS
SYSTEM FAVORED
Prospective Employment OF
100000 Wins Roose-
welt Approval.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
White House approval Of special
system of industrial banks, planned
by the Federal Reserve Board, has
been won by the prospective employ
ment of possibly a million workers in
the heavy industries.
Word of the administrations favor
able attitude came from Secretary of
the Treasury Morgenthau and Eugene
Black, governor of the reserve system,
after a visit TO the White House yes
terday. Gov Black had advanced the
project for a new banking chain to
supply capital funds to small indus
tries.
Sees Financing Need.
II am convinced there is need
for this kind of financing" Morgen-
thau said. Mr. Roosevelt is ready to
ask Congress for the necessary legis-
lation when the pian is completed" "
Black estimated roughly that a sur
vey by the II Reserve Banks indi-
Gated somc 100000 to 100000 men
would gain employment if long-term
credit was made available to hundreds
Of industries needing capital money.
The plan will do two things"
Black said. 1T will set up a source
Of capital credit never before avail
able and it will take commercial banks
out of a loan field in which they never
properly belonged"
Morgenthau and Black visited the
White House to complete their pro-
gram and submit it for a final de-
cision. Reserve Board experts still
are busy tabulating the bank survey
on long-term industrial credit needs
and the employment which would
result from an adequate supply.
Black said the Reserve Board had
not finished the draft of legislation
which would be needed. The plan
contemplateS putting an industrial
bank in each Federal Reserve Bank
and using Reserve Bank housing facil-
tiles The bank would be under the
direction of the Federal Reserve
Board.
Determination of the capital re-
quired for such banking system
will depend largely on the final shcw-
ing of the Reserve bank survey.
$500, 900 900 Mentioned.
The figure of 100000, 900 has been
mentioned but Black said there was
no final agreement. 1t was thought
likely the government would subscribe
the capital, possibly through the Re-
construction Finance Corporation.
The industrial banks would discount
long-term paper of the flve-year type,
which is not ordinary acceptable at
Reserve banks. Under Blacks plan,
they also would be authorized to make
direct loans in special cases if money
were not otherwise available Where
such loans were direct, it was be-
lieved private banks would be offered
participation.
Federal Reserve Bank governors and
the systems advisory council have in
dorsed the plan There also is
strong Reserve Board sentiment for
relaxing the securities act to en-
courage capital issues and for prevent
ing the Stock Exchange control bill
from imposing restrictions increasing
the difficulty of floating capital loans.

NAzIS LIMITS SHOPS,PROTECT,
 SMALL OWNERS


 BERLIN, March 17.-About l. 250000 of the German ''mittels- tand," the middle class store pro- prietors. have made a joint effort to sway the nazi government to measures calculated to relieve their economic condition.
 They were successful in get- ting the government to ban all new enterprises of this class until July 1, 1884, but they were defeated in trying to obtain a government order dissolving the huge coop erative societies which operate stores.
 Co-Ops Serve Millions
 Against the 1,250,000, estimated members of the "mittelstand, were ranged almost 140o0,000 people di- rectly interested in the co-opera- : tive businesses tslrough 3,70000O members trading at 1,200 storeT controlled by these organizations.
 The shop-keepers complained, that like the department stores, which have not been banned al- though their volume has been re- duced, the cooperative stores took business from the small store owners The huge organization al- so acted to depress prices they charged.
 Some went further, saying the co-ops are socialist at heart. The co-ops rejoined that they were interested only in keeping the food and clothing bills of the working man as low as possible.
 Shops Given Sop
 AS sop to the "mittelstand, ]" the co-ops were ordered to join a national organization and plans may be pushed to lease the coop stores direct to the small store keepers.
 In the case of department stores increased taxes, amounting to 20 per cent in Prussia during 1883, resulted only in a one per cent increase in the turnover tax paid by the small storekeepers.

To the politicians, the biggest surprise of the Roosevelt admin istration has been the Presidents ability to avoid open alignment with either the Radical or the Conservative wing of his party.
 When he was elected nearly everyone felt the party was so badly divided on fundamentals that he would have to get into one camp or the other, or else have both sides sniping at him.

JAMES TRUITT
 SPEAKS BEFORE
 DEMOCRAT CLUB
Plans for Public Rally on March 28 Completed at
 Meeting Last Night

Attorney-G General J a mes S. Truitt was the speaker of the ev- ening at the meeting of the Wo- mems Democratic Club of Gas tineau Channel held last night in the Council Chambers of the City Hall The subject on which he spoke, was a comparison between the government of Alaska and that of other Territories of the United States.
 Chief among the differences, according to MT. Truitt, is that while both Hawaii and Puerto Rico have courts empowered to interpret their laws, and also have, to a great extent, control over their natural resources, Alaska has not these privileges. This is partly due to the fact that both Hawaii and Puerto Rico, the principal Terri tories in addition to Alaska, al- ready had codes of law before they became United States possessions, while Alaska had none.
 The Organic Act, passed in 1912, and additional restrictions have so encircled Alaska with laws that the Territorial Legislature has little leeway in the matter of making constructive laws and no power whatsoever to control the great natural resources of this tre- mendous country, he declared All Alaskans should keep before them the ultimate goal of a full Ter ritorial government for Alaska and control of the fishing, fur and mineral wealth of the Territory.
 Following his very interesting and informative talk, members of the club also expressed their deep appreciation to General Truitt for appearing before the organization and his clear and concise manner of presenting the ways in which Alaska differs from the other Ter rltOrleS III government.
 Business Meeting
 There was a good attendance present at the meeting and before the business of the evening was taken up, twelve new members added their names to the member ship role, bringing the total mem- bership to T since the club was organized six weeks ago.
 Mrs. G. E. Krause, president, presented plans for the political rally to be held on the evening of March 28, at o'clock in the Moose Hall for the purpose of giv- ing the public of Juneau an oppor- tunity to hear candidates speak who are running for office in the Democratic primary elections.
 Old Fashioned Rally
 The rally will take the form of an old-fashioned political rally and short talks by the various candi- dates will be interspersed with lively campaign songs and selec- tions by the City Band. As a committee on arrangements, the following were nominated and un- animously elected Mrs. J. B. Bernhofer, Mrs. Jack Langseth, Mrs. J. w. Caldwell, Mrs. Mary Monagle, Mrs Minnie Hurley Mrs.
