Perhaps the most seriously in
jured member of the band was
Wallace Bishop, the r u m m r,
who sustained broken leg in the
smashup. All of the other mem
bers were more or less shaken up,
but received no broken bones. The
fact that only one member of the
band was seriously injured is re-
garded as miraculous in view of
the nature of the accident.
Hines and his band, who have
been touring the country since
leaving the Grand Terrace in Chi
cago some months ago, and who
appeared in Lakeland, Fla, only
last week, where he and his band
had broken all records for that
locality, were en- route to Chicago,

as Bow-legs had driven to Cinci-

James Norman Hall
Sought to Write

BY LEMUEL r. PARTON.

I WING in two worlds, avoiding
the worst features Of each, Is
IL the happy expedient of James
Norman Hall, as life becomes
more hazardous and complicated for
the rest Of us. Paramount searches
him out In the South Seas to write
its spectacular aviation cayalcade,
starting with early-day belloonists
and finishing with the China Clipper;
the story Of mans new wings in one
big flare of celluloid.
The world beat q path to his de
luxe Jungle lair because he made
better nose dive than his neighbor.
He and Charles Nordhoff, his CO.

and Hurricane" were crack flyers in

French government said, in effect:
Boys. you can have anything you
want"
The boys took an aperitif and then
said they'd like nice. quiet spot in
the South Seas. The French not only
arranged that, but made them chiefs
Of the Tahitian Klyan tribe. They
went native in nice, sensible way,

Their typewriter plant soon began to
outstrip copra in profitable island ex-
ports.
Last Summer Mr.. Hall got as far
as Boston on trip around the world.
There he got homesick, yearning for
the moonlight of Papeete and the
chug Of his electric pump. He can
celed his steamship tickets and went
home. There he lives happily, riding
his 5-year-old daughter to school on
the handle-bars of his bicycle, putting
in a full day working shift and riding
her back at night.

Naturally, the depot was the stronger

We, the People
Long Range Banking Aims of New Deal to Figure
in Coming Struggle.

tain banking groups privileged access
to insurance funds for investment.
Then comes the control of credit.
Father Coughlin Is quite right to argue
that Congress has "farmed out" its
right to coin money to private money
lenders, SO long as nine-tenths Of our
money Is made up of check books in
stead Of coins or bank notes.
Sooner or later Congress will have
to resume its lawful power and the
coinage" Of credit money for pri-
vate profit will cease. The present
danger Is that the "reformers" be-
lieve that money is everything.
So long as the Coughlinites and
silverites and faddists are in q mood
to worship their own substitute for
the golden calf more fervently than
the old gang worshipped the gold
standard, their agitation will hurt
rather than help the New Deals
reformation"
Money can do a lot, but 1t Is not
real wealth, and any attempt to sub
shtute any kind of money for any
kind Of wealth is highly dangerous.
You can't eat dough until it Is more
than half baked.
Interest Question Remains.
Finally. there remains the question
OF interest rates. This holds the
whole key to economic liberty. They
must be brought down to a service
charge and replacement basis and
made more flexible. At present most
bankers are practically hypnotized
by per cent.
Why per cent?
The people who borrow money have
to pay per cent, but the banks don't
get 6 per cent on their available
money. They have large idle reserves
or low-rate bonds which drag down
their earnings to around 2 per cent.
And in the meantime business lacks,
not confidence" but credit credit
and many kinds of financing-includ-
ing personal loans and consumption
loans (installment buying)-are left
in the hands of usurers and highly
respectable finance companies"
which nick the public for 10. ~ and
IA per cent, II not higher.
To break the power OF foreign
bankers in our national economy, to
establish real central banking for the
entire country, to resume Govern
ment control of the issuance of credit,
and to drive the interest rates down
and down and down-these are the
longtime aims of the New Deal in
banking.
They will not be achieved without
great struggle, now and in the fu-
ture, If history teaches anything
about the way people behave when
privilege yields to liberty.

BY JAY FRANKLIN.


TINE long-range aims Of the New
Deal in banking, under the
leadership of the Federal Re-
L serve Board. may not come to
the surface at once, but without know
ing what these aims are, 1t Will De
impossible to understand the battle
at Washington this Winter.
The situation Is not unlike that In
England 400 years ago, when Henry
Wis marriage with Anne Boleyn
took England out of Catholic Europe
and began the Protestant Reforma-
ton. The first step was to break with
foreign influences, the second was 10
set up an Established Church OF Eng
land. and the third was to permit
real religious iberay-a goal not
reached until well after the battle OF
Waterloo.
b The first step caused an interna-
tional crisis, the second a long re-
ligious struggle with the Catholics, the
Dissenters and the Puritans, while the
third represented the completion OF
one OF the great processes Of human
liberation.
Far From Central Banking.
The Federal Reserve Board under
Roosevelt is about where Henry VIII
was when he had broken with Rome
and confiscated the monasteries (com-
pare the New Deals seizure Of none
tary gold). We are far from having
an established financial church" IN
the form of real central banking and
we are very. very far from what
monetary reformers like Father Cough
lin would regard as economic liberty.
The steps ahead of the Federal Re-
serve Board are marked out by the
divorce of power from Wall Street
and the marriage of Washington to
financial supremacy. This Is only the
beginning and there Is no reason to
doubt that we may have to suffer the
reign of some coming Tory Bloody
Mary" before even this switch Of part
ners Is accepted.
Then there will be the final struggle
against the deeply entrenched power
Of the $1,000 100000 Of fiy-by- night
foreign money, directed by the inter-
national bankers, in our manufacture
ing, banking and marketing system.
Beyond that lies the struggle with
the financial "dissenters"-the State
banks and private banks and invest
ment houses which make a crazy quilt
OF our financial system.
Banking Groups Privileged.
The collapse Of Huey Long removed
the most powerful defender Of the
small. weak State bank-"the little
banks at the forks of the creeks"-but
there are powerful forces for financial
reaction In the form o. various pri-
vate insurance companies of the East
| which will offer resistance to New
Deal attempts to rationalize our finan-
cial structure. The way these insti-
tutions work at present Is to give GER

to increase in a practical way the
enthusiasm for world peace.
Mr.. Roosevelt has a signal oppor-
.tunity, because of the virtually unani-
nous opinion he has behind him in
America, to affect the destiny Of the
world in the realm of better trade
relations and avoidance of war.
Today's armistice celebrations nat
urally look to the memories of the
past, but the passage of 1a years may
make Armistice day hereafter more
and more a day for the contemplation
of measures and policies that will seek
in a practical way to avoid the neces-
sity of the sacrifices made in 1918.

 Hannah shrugged. "r never have put anything past that woman"
