Natives Have A
 Queer Habit Of
 Sleeping Pyramid
fBy The Associated Press)

fBy The Associated Press)
 TORTALEZA, Ceara, Bozil, Aug. l, The Capuchin friars, who for many years have sought to educate the wild aborigines of the Maran- hao forests, and convert them to Christianity, tell of a very quaint if somewhat oppressive sleeping hab- il among the Urubu tribes.
 All in the tribe sleep in one cabin. the friars said The eldest lie on the ground. The middle-aged lie on top of the old ones. The younger lie on top of the middle-aged and so on, until the youngest are at the top of the pyramid. This practice, the friars said, does not seem to hasten the demise of the patriarehs and matriarchs of the clans.
 If the young men of the tribes fall in love they sue for affection in an unusual way. The young men keep loading their shoulders with heavy burden. Heavier and still heavier loads go on, while the young man tries to catch the eye of the girl he wants. If she catches on she makes for the woods on fleet feet. He follows and if he catches her, he is entitled to ask for her hand in marriage.

COTTON PRICES
DR|F 7 LOWER

NEW YORK, Feb. z G.N.SO.
The cotton market gave another
uni1lspiring performance today, as
futures drifted slightly lower in
desultory trading. The extremely
limited volume restricted losses to
a point or two.
There was small amount Of
liquidation of old long lines and
some mill sellings, as holders ap-
parently became discouraged at
the inability of the market to
move ahead.
Locals and the South supplied
a few contracts. Liverpool and
the domestic trade were in the
ring for cotton, but their combined
demand was insufficient to absorb
offerings.
Indian Crops Cut
Reports from India today told
of further reduction in the crop
there as result of the recent frost
damage, but this had no effect on
the local market. The South re-
ported that the basis for spot cot
ton remained firm and very high
and that little business was being
transacted.
A private source now estimates
the Indian crop at 4,724,000 bales
compared with their previous esti-
mate of 4,857 900 and their first
eStiY1o fe of & R2o nm holoc Ae
result of the smaller crop there
the basis on Indian cotton has
advanced sharply and on some
grades and staples is said to be
higher than that prevailing for
corresponding American grades.
At midday futures were off 1-3
points, with May off l at 1888,
October off 3 at 1925, and Decem'
ber off l at 1898.

LOCAL BROKERS
WATCH RATES

Washington stock brokers were
yesterday discussing reports from
New York regarding the possible
outcome of meetings soon to be
held by two special committees Of
the New York Stock Exchange at
which the questions of changing
commission rates and increasing
bond trading will be taken up.
It is understood in local brok-
erage circles that the committee
on commissions, which meets to-
morrow, will consider the some
what controversial questions as to
whether or not commission rates
to be paid by the public should be
increased and whether the return
paid the floor broker should be
revised.
The committee on bonds, it Is
understood, will hold meetings, be-
ginning February IA, for the pur.
pose of considering the question
of increasing rates and revising
floor brokerage fees. This COM
mittee, however, has as it's main
purpose increasing bond trading
on the floor of the exchange.

CHANGE BACKS
REFORM PLANS

NEW YORK, Feb. THE New
York Stock Excha nge is in
hearty accord" with the purpose
of the Securities and Exchange
Commission in recommending an
extensive reorganization of the
administration Of the exchange.
This attitude was made known
yesterday by Richard Whitney,
president Of the exchange, in a
statement approved by the board
Of governors at a special meeting.
In some quarters this action
was regarded as a surrender on
the part of the exchange to recent
criticism in the press and among
the members of the exchange. The
letter Of the Association of Stock
Exchange Firms on Tuesday
recommending prompt" endorse
ment of the SEC program to Mr..
Whitney was recalled also.
However, spokesmen for the ex.
change insisted yesterday that it
had never been "antagonistic"
toward the SEC plan. Counsel
now is working on an opinion on
the plan, which would require
many amendments to the consti-
tuition of the exchange. This opin-
ion will be submitted to and
studied by the law committee Of
the board of governors before the
latter body takes any action on it.
Mr.. Whitney's statement said
that the SEC report contains
recommendations representing the
commissions considered opinion
after careful study Of a difficult
problem. These recommendations
are designed to afford the public
q greater degree of protection.

The Washington times., 1935-02-07

The new banking bill, drafted
as usual by the Administration,
has just been sent to Congress Tor
rubber stamping.
Briefly, it provides as follows:
1, Capitalization of banking
control. The several Reserve
Banks are subOrdinated to the
Reserve Board, and the Reserve
Board is subOrdinated to the
political administration at Wash
ingtOn.
2. The centralized banking
control is given increased power
ever money and credit.
8. The power over money and
credit is increased by removing
automatic safeguards for bank
credit.
A committee of five, dominated
by the governor of the Reserve
Board "a political appointee, now
Mr.. M. S. EccleS), is to control the
buying of Government naper by
the banks, and the determine
tion Of rediScount rates.
It is to have control over the
amount of reserves required OF all
member banks, which it may vary
practically at will.
All requirements as to collateral
back of Federal Reserve notes (our
chief currency) are to be abol'
ished.
The Reserve Banks are to be
authorized to discount any Sound
asset Of a member bank" (Who
Is to determine what "sound"
means?)
And to cap the climax, the
the banks are to be allowed to
make 20-year loans on real estate
UP to Is per cent of the estimated
value of the property.
Anyone who has knowledge Of
banking history and principles
knows that such provisions mean
an end to Commercial banking"
and the abandonment Of any pre-
tense to an elastic currency"
It threatens to turn our banks
into pawnshops, and deluge the
country with inflated currency.
The root of the whole scheme
lies in EccleS' notions about
money and Government spend
ing, and these notions are ac-
cepted by the President. What
are they?
The other day I heard EccleS
say, Money is not a fixity." He
thinks there is nothing to it but
credit government credit-"fiat"
money.
He also said that when the
people won't spend, the govern
ment must spend. His record
shows him as favOring huge
grants to States and localities
for public buildings, and to in
dividualS for residential build
ing.
On the basis of these beliefs,
he argues that the government
must borrow and go into debt.
But in order to do that, it must
force its "bOndS" on the banks,
Then this debt is to be made the
basis for issuing bank notes for
the government to spend.
I also heard Eccles say, I'VE will
borrow and issue bonds now.
Later we will pull them (the
bonds) back through taxes" So,
yoL see, even he realizes that
someone is going to have to pay
sometime.
Personally, I think that the
direct issue of greenback notes by
the Government would be more
honest and do less harm than this
prostitution Of our banking sys-
TEN.
Be that as it may, we are now
con the way" to real initiation
through a Government banking
system which is all the worse be-
cause it is devious and disguised.
And just IS John Law started
his ruinous Eighteenth Century
scheme with the notion of land
It as the basis of currency, so
EccleS with the Presidents back
1ng) is starting with real estate
loans.
Such loans are the graveyard
&: banks.
May Congress rebel! May the
institutions Of our pioneer fore
fathers against political banking
prevail!
