NATIONS BANKING
ENTERS new PHASE
Granting of Credit Will Be
Under u. S. Control


BOSTON, Sept. 24.-Banking in
the United States has entered a
period of fundamental change, in
which the function of granting
credit will pass from the hands of
private banks and bankers to gov
ernmental control, United Business
Service asserts in its latest report,
published today.
The federal government already
has gone into the banking ousi-
ness in big way" according to
the report. The outstanding agri-
cultural credit extensions of gov
eminent agencies, headed by the
Federal Land banks, now amount
in all to nearly $2,900,0e0,000 and
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton loans to about 81 ,500,00000O. To
these must be added the Home
Loan bank advances, less repay
ments, totaling $86,O00,000 and the
governments 20 per cent guaran-
tee of home modernization loans.
Government domination of bank
ing is expected to be extended.
Plans for a central bank of issue,
consolidation of the federal reserve
banks and unifcation of all bank
ing under federal control now are
being discussed.
Dangers of governmental direc-
ton of banking lie in the granting
Of loans on a political, rather than
on a business basis, and in lax
management where the government
bears the risk, experts feel.

WEEKS TRADE
CONTINUES UP
Fall Outlook Better Than
Had Been Predicted,
Experts Say.
By Times Special


NEW YORK, Sept 24.-With bust
ness sentiment generally brighter
this week, the fall outlook apparent
ly is better than had been predicted
recently, according to Business Week.
Although sharp expansion will
come later this year than usual, fall
business is getting we'll under way,
the report states. Retail trade, so
far this month, is following along
the upcurve started in August.
Conditions in the steel industry
are better. Steel operations ad-
vanced, partly as result of manu-
facturers efforts to build up de-
pleted supplies in anticipation of
fall business and partly through a
somewhat increased demand from
miscellaneous customers and small
f1ll-in orders from automobile con-
Germs.
After a seven-week decline in op-
erations, steel gained for the second
consecutive week and is back at the
level attained in the middle of Aug
ust. Belief that this marked the
beginning of the anticipated upturn
was voiced by observers. Sharp eX-
pansion in production schedules still
awaits large orders from the auto
mobile industry which may not ma
terialize until the middle of No.
vember.
No important demand from the
railroads is seen during the next
few months, unless a new program
of government projects is launched
in this field. However, it is pointed
out, the industry may receive earlier
impetus from the increase in gov
ernment-fnanced construction work.
Several large public projects now
are maturing.
The present months pickup has
carried employment and pay rolls
in manufacturing industries above
the preceding months levels, &C
cording to the United States bureau
of labor statistics. The gain over a
year ago was not as large as in the
earlier months of this year, it was
explained, due to the fact that en-
ployment and pay rolls in August
a year ago were boosted by last
summers ''pre-infation" push.
Nondurable goods industries showed
the largest gains. The usual sea-
sonal increases occurred in the tex
tile, food and leather groups.
Gain in factory employment, esti-
mated at approximately $4,000,
partly was offset by the loss shown
by the COMMUNICATING industries,
which left a net pickup of only
$4,000 employees. The largest de-
crease in the latter group was in
the anthracite mining industry. The
reason for the slump was attributed
to labor difficulties.

Central Bank Hit

The Guaranty Trust Company, IN
its monthly survey of business and
financial conditions. takes occasion
TO point out the pitfalls present in
the establishment Of a new govern
ment-conroIled central bank. The
most ominous possibilities Of such a
proposal" the bank says. lie not
in the fact that it would extend the
control Of the government over the
business of banking. but that it
would alter the nature Of the bank
ing process in such a way as to
place the entire economic life OF
the country under the regulation Of
public officials"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-09-24

years, and bondholders would be
content if Mexico were to adhere to
any Of them.
MeXico's external debt comprises
about S280,000,000 par value of gov
eminent or guaranteed
obligations, and some S245,000,000
par value of railway obligations.
These amounts are exclusive Of &C
crued interest.
In 1922 an agreement was entered
into between the government and
an international committee Of bank
ers, but only one years payments
we're made. Other agreements were
made in 1924 and 1880.
Early in 1881 a new agreement
was reached, providing for the pay
ment of interest during 1881 and
1882 in Mexican silver pesos at the
rate of 2.20 pesos to the dollar.
These amounts we're to be held in
a bank in Mexico as confidential
deposits, and as a result no silver
deposits we're made.
Toward the end of 1881, further
agreement was signed providing for
the extension of the agreement
reached earlier in the year for
eighteen months, with the under
standing that payments on the
Mexican debt would commence on
or before Jan. l, 1884.
Judging by the past fiscal per-
Torrance of Mexico, one would not
seem justified in viewing with OPP
timism Mexican government obliga-
tons, in spite of theoretical posi-
bilities.

GRAIN VALUES
SANS FEATURE
IN DULL DEALS
Quotations Shift About
UnimpreSSiveIy, Waiting
on Weather.
BY HARTMAN w. NICHOLS
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-Grain prices
shifted unimpressively in a narrow
range on the Board of Trade today
in one of the dullest sessions in
some time.
Wheat finished y to Il cent
lower, September s1.O315; corn was
of s. to q cent, September 77as
cents; oats were off IS to q cent,
September 5414 cents.
The market depended entirely on
weather for an incentive. iWntry
weather prevailed over much Of the
Canadian northwest, curbing har-
vesting activities and strengthening
prices at Winnipeg. Scattered snow
flurries were reported on this side
of the international line with pre-
diction for more snow overnight and
general rains over the entire grain
belt.
The weather news from Canada
worked bullishly on the trade here
early and a rally ensued. Later in
creased selling developed and prices
eaSed.
Routine developments attracted
little attention. No mention was
made around the pits about settle
ment of the textile strike. Liquida-
ton was under way in the wheat pit
and the market there finished IA
to IL cents lower.
Corn generally was disposed to
follow the action of wheat and to
watch the weather over the growing
area. 1t was generally believed the
crop was safe from damage by frost,
since the weather map indicated the
Canadian cold wave would not move
very far into this country.
Oats were dull and without spe-
cial feature. Provisions declined
along with hogs.

Any one familiar with the past
fiscal record Of the country and its
attitude toward the rights Of cred
1tors is not likely to be swayed into
entering into heavy commitments
with the expectation Of reaping
spectacular profits, since current
prices for most Mexican loans are
only slightly above what one might

gard to MeXico's defaulted bonds?

Increased operations in the steel
