STILL FROZEN CREDIT

LONG-DISPUTED question of fact is an
swered by the viner report, which finds
"A genuine unsatisfied demand for credit on
the part of solvent borrowers large enough
to be a significant factor in retarding busi-
ness recovery"
DR.. Jacob Viner and Charles o. Hardy, UNI
der orders from the Secretary of the Treasury,
spent fon months surveying credit conditions
in the Seventh Federal Reserve District. What
they found in the Chicago region doubtless
exists in varying degree in other parts of the
country.
Their finding that large proportion of
would-be borrowers are unsafe banking risks
is incidental 1t is important that other bor-
rowers who could make economically sound
use of working capital are denied credit. This
is caused partly by the timidity of bankers
and partly by the attitude of bank examiners.
To remedy this. definite changes in bank ex-
animation and reserve bank rediscount rules
are recommended.
Pending return of ready bank lending, the
Viner report suggests continuance of direct.
Government loans to industry-through the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation or some
new intermediate credit agency-with less
stress liquidity and and more emphasis on SOL
vency.
Substantial business recovery, under our
system is not possible unless banks provide the
credit needed by industry and commerce Since
the bank moratorium, the Administration has
been trying to thaw bank credit with one hand
and curb 1t with the other. But now it seems
to be shaping a more definite and consistent
policy.
o. Recent action by the Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corp. and the Federal Reserve
Board reducing the maximum interest on time
deposits to 2ls per cent may accomplish more
than all the Administrations pleas to bankers
for easier credit, since it helps to turn idle
capital into productive channels

NHUSSOLINI is at it again. After several
AFA years Of self-restraint and influence for
peace Il Duce has returned to his earlier
method Of buster. He has now notified the
League Of Nations that he will not accept the
proposed arbitration of the ItaBan-Abyssinian
dispute over responsibility for the recent
frontier fight.
As usual, each side maintains that the
other was the aggressor in the border Incl
dent And each side disputes the territorial
claims of the other.
II Mussolini is in the right he has every
thing to gain and nothing to lose by allow
ing the League to settle the dispute. This
is particularly desirable because Italy is so
much more powerful than Abyssinia q
In the carly days of Fascism, Mussolini
had TO play the bully to cover up an inferiority
complex But that is hardly necessary now
that his international position is recognized
and secure
Twice within recent NOTWITHSTANDING the
German Austrian affair and the Yugoslav
Hungarian clash-Mussolini has helped to
save the uneasy peace of Europe. 1t is to be
hoped that France and Great Britain can
persuade him to resume his role of peace
maker This is all the more necessary since
japanese commercial activity is said to be
underneath the AbySsinian friction.
If France and Great Britain must make
African colonial concessions at their own ex-
pense, in order to restore Mussolini's co-opera-
ton in Europe that price is not too much to
pay Mussolini is a key figure in the peace
set-up It would be folly to ignore the Abys-
sinian controversy as a distant incident of
no importance.

THE KITTY HAWK PLANE

THIRTY ONE years ago yesterday Wilbur
u and Orville Wright scared aloft from the
sands of Kill Devil Hill near Kitty Hawk,
n c., in a crudely constructed flying machine
Although the world was slow to grasp it, they
had made history.
Today. with the sheen of swift air trans
ports streaking before our eyes and the roar
of winged armadaS in our ears, We pay tribute
to the foresight, genius and daring of two
American pioneers in flight.
But something is missing from the picture.
The original Wright plane remains in a
British museum 5000 miles away because of
a decade-old misunderstanding between the
Smithsonian Institution and Orvile Wright.
A year ago this week a settlement appeared
imminent when Wright and Secretary Charles
c. Abbott Of the Smithsonian agreed upon
Col. Charles A Lindbergh as a committee of
one TO iron out differences and bring about
the return of the relic.
Little progress has been made, principally
because Col. Lindbergh has been tied up with
personal and business affairs. And his sched-
ule for the future looks scarcely more prom
ising.
It might be well. therefore to turn to q
new medium of arbitration so that before
next Dec II the first successful airplane can
come home.

Office holders will have to heed the

port and feel that I am going to be

would have that had all the liberal
and progressive minded people
standing together instead Of divided
into factions as they are today.
I believe that everything that is
necessary to have a decent liveli-

US to do for the public good.

MONEY BARONS CALLED
RULERS OF NATIONS

BY Times Reader.
In your appeal to the profit mo-
tive editorial urging reduction Of
interest rates on the bankers, you
go counter to our fundamental idea
of business, of getting all that the
traffic will bear. Since there is no
other source from which credit may
be obtained except banks, there is
no good reason why they should
cheaper the hire of the product they
create.
Money is a commodity in our day
rather than a medium of exchange.
Money is sold just as cabbage, or
taxi service.
In controlling the volume of
money or credits of money, the
manufacturer of that commodity
fixes the money value of all COM
modities. The scarcer money is, the
more goods must be delivered to get
money.
Money of itself has no real value
except in its demand as a medium
for exchange. The power to con-
troll credit money is Of greater
significance than the law making
power. Governments are but err
rand boys for the money power.

SEEKS ENFORCEMENT OF
NRA REGULATIONS

My husband works for a metal
company that is believed to COM
ply with the NRA code.
About so men and 20 women are
working from 7:30 a. m. to 4:3O
p. m. and from $50 p. m. to 9 or
$50 p. m, an average of about II
hours a day and seven Gays a week.
Sundays are not an exception.
The day rates the persons receive
are 80 cents to IS cents an hour,

Three Records Broken at Columbus Meet-Medi-
 ca Betters 400 Nd

Columbus, O., April 6-(UP)- World indoor swimming records seemed insecure to-day as the na- tion's fastest "water dogs" entered the second session of the three-day A. A. U. senior championships in the Ohio State university pool.
 With three world records al- ready bettered, the crack field lined up for the 22O-yard free- style, 220-yard breast stroke, and 4OO-yard relay events.
 Good Work
 Three nanies were added to the scrolls of record-breakers Thurs day.
 Albert Vande Weghe, 17 year old representative of the Newark N. J., A. c. won the 150-yard back stroke in 1869. In 1882, George Kojac of the New York A. c. cre- ated a record of 1:37.4.
 Taylor Drysdale, University of Michigan, lowered Clarence "Bust- err Crabbe's record in the 300- yard individual medley by a full second, winning one of the trial heats in 39:35.4. Drysdale was conquered by Leonard Spence in the final of that event, however.
 Medica, in a special race, estab- lished a new world time for the 40O-yard freestyle. His time was broke. The old record was 4:20, made by Ralph Flanagan in 1883.
 Other winners were Dick Dege- ner, University of Michigan, who retained his national low board diving crown, and Walter Spence in the 10O-yard freestyle.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-04-06

The competing teams have al- ready met in their home pools. and from accounts of witnesses, there was not a dull moment either time, which makes especially att tractive tonight's program of eight events. scheduled to start at 8 p. m. in the Crosby high enclosure. The Naugatuckians were a bit shocked with the 47-29 point score against them on the occasion of their last meeting, inasmuch as Naugatuck's "Y" swimmers had all they could do to beat Waterbury in the bor- ough water a month ago. Which, in interest from the point of the performers themselves, makes the third meet doubly interesting.
 Looks Good
 Some splendid individual rivalry has been developed between the competitors, with Alec "Gumbo" Sullivan, veteran of 13 years campagining through the water in- doors and out, leading the Naugy delegation of Enamait, a stellar breaststroke performer, Poscavage. a backstroke lunninary and Benler, national junior diving champion. Enamait will be opposed by Frankie Sabis of Waterbury, who is we'll able to set record break ing pace in the breast, event as he has rounded into Al shape for the event. Enamait set a new pool record of 1:13 1-5 at Waterbury on March Is. Meyerhans, VaIehcko. A-E aid Waterbury defeat their bor- ough rivals in the principal events. J. o. F. Manherz, coach of the Crosby state champion swimming team will officiate as referee, and J. F. Roland as starter.
 The Events
 160 yard relay, 40 yard free style, 100 yard backstroke, 100 yard breast stroke, 100 yard free style, 220 yard free style, Diving, medley relay.
