VIRGINIA SENATE
AIDS D. C. BANKS
Changes Law Which Required
All Directors to Reside in

The Virginia Senate passed a bill
Friday relieving three Washington
banks-City Bank, Bank of Commerce
& Savings and McLachlen Banking
Corp-chartered under the laws of
Virginia, from provision requiring
all the directors of banks chartered In
the State to be residents of the State
These are the only banks chartered
in Virginia which do business exclus-
lively in another jurisdiction, the Sen
ate was told. Members of the Banking
and Insurance Committee said the
three banks are more strictly super
vised under District of Columbia and
Federal statutes than if they were
actually located in Virginia.
All three banks were chartered be-
fore the present stringent banking laws
were passed and were considered
worthy of special consideration and re-
lief from the rule pertaining to direc-
tors. A similar bill has been intro
duced in the House by Delegate Maur-
ice D. Rosenberg of Alexandria.

U. S. FREE GOLD"
AT $500, 100000
Government Holds More Than
Double Amount Necessary to
Meet World Demands.
ecialnisnatch To The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February 8-All told
the United States Government has a
total of about $500 100000 OF So
called free" gold, or more than twice
the amount that would be necessary
to meet demands of the rest of the
world. This figure, it is pointed out
by the Financial World, is the sum
of the S2.0O0,0OO,00O stabilization
fund and the s3,7Oo, 100000 of free"
Federal Reserve gold certificates.
1T is a good working margin" says
the magazine. 1T provides plenty of
leeway for credit expansion in the
event business needs money, but 1t
affords no excess for the soldiers
bonus or other Government require
ments The bonds will have to be met
out of taxes or out of borrowing.
1T will represent net increase in
Federal Indebtedness if the cash is
raised by an issue of bonds; it will
represent drain upon business If
additional taxes are imposed to raise
the funds. But there is no other
way. The gold is earmarked, and
to use it would only be to dodge the
issue, not to meet it.
Furthermore, whatever way, If
finally agreed upon-taxes. new bor-
rowing or increased debt-the end
result will be inflationary in its i'm
plications. The taxes will not meet
the full cash requirements, therefore
the budget would be further unbal-
anced, an increase in debt would
additionally strain the Government S
fiscal and financial status, and as for
using the gold-if Congress insists
that would be a case of monetary
magic. which Is always inf1ationary."

SOIL CONSERVATION
PROGRAM FAVORED
c. T. Revere Declares Rebuilding
Of Cotton Export Trade Would
Be Necessary Corollary.
Special Dispatch to The 3tar.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 8.-The pro-
posed soil conservation program,
soundly implemented from legisla-
tive standpoint and also soundly ad-
ministered, would provide an auto
matte control of production for a pc
riod of probably two years and place
the cotton growing industry on basis
where it need fear no foreign compe-
tition, says C. T. Revere of Munds,
Winslow g. Potter in his weekly COM
modify letter.
An essential corollary to such a pro-
gram, however, he points out, is the
rebuilding OF our export trade to pro-
vide an outlet for surplus that can
be exchanged and sold on competi-
tive basis.
Revere expresses the opinion that
cotton production would be restricted
for a two-year period under the con-
servation program. After that time
he foresees greatly increased produc-
ton resulting from the release OF lands
and increased fertility resulting from
crop rotation and oil-building crops. u
