erected by some nations in the form
Of excessive tariffs, exchange restric-
tions and quota controls.
The tariff cut was regarded in om-
cial quarters as a natural result OF
the new French internal fiscal situa-
ton created by the devaluation of
the franc and the subsequent Franco
British-American monetary accord.
In well-informed circles 1t was
viewed as a move to give France q
brake on the rise of domestic prices
from devaluation. Ofiicials said the
tariff reductions would offset a ten
dency toward rising prices.
Officials noted the French move in
cluded no change in the present i'm
port quotas. Elimination of these,
they said, would be Of much greater
significance than duty reductions.

In a radio address. the head of the
National Union for Social Justice re-
ferred to President Roosevelt'S state

year there had been no single bank
failure" in the United States. The
priest said:
"Oh, yes, we are celebrating a re-

no national bank has failed within the
wear. Is 1t likewise true that no
grocery store, no small industry failed
during that space of time? They were
all private corporations.
Cites Eight Reasons"
But how could the banks fail under
the eight following reasons?
First, the Federal Government sup
piled adequate capital to them. Sec
ond, the New Deal made loans to them
on the full value of their cats and
dogs and other assets. Third, the re-
vived banks were permitted to pawn
StncES which held nv
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Fourth, all deposits up to $4,000 were
insured
Fifth, the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. owned by the Government, took
care of all large loans to big industry.
Sixth. the home owners loan and
the farm loan acts relieved bankers
of the responsibility of making loans
to the average man. Seventh, the
ideal of banking according to the
New Deal became 'liquidity,' which
is the absence of banking. Eighth,
local banks found 1t impossible to
make local loans to small industry
because local. banks became the store
houses Of Government bonds.
Banking Held Diseased.

Instead of curing the banking dis

ing the money changers from the

gress the right to do all the issuing

The Board Of Trade discovered
that originally the barges had
been used to haul coal. that ten
years ago they were sold for sal

stripped them Of everything valu-

IN appropriating money for relief,

Paris Styles
by MARY FENTRESS

Paris (UP)-International events
invariably have great effect on
feminine fashions. The wave Of
black which swept both continents
early this winter was a direct re-
suit of British court circles being in
mourning following the death OF
King George v.
When the six months period
of mourning was ended, British So
cialites went back into bright colors
and the whole fashion world went
back with them. The new demi-
saison collections show brilliant
greens, tomato red, bright blues and
other gay colors in direct contrast
to the somber fashion shows seen
last August.
Even styles have become more
gay and youthful. Skirts are a
bit tighter and shorter and
waistlines are high and slender.
The reaction to sedate and sober
styles has really set in. Vivid
colors and girlish silhouettes will
dominate the spring style trend.
Another international historical
event to have an influence on
faminine fashions is the civil war in
Spain. Short, Spanish boleros are
shown everywhere-particularly for
evening wear. These brief little
jackets usually are made OF the
same material as the evening gown
itself but are embroidered wildly
In brightly colored beads, gilt braid
or bright shades of silk. The bright
shades shown on the Spanish boil
eros Is repeated usually on the sash
Of the gown.
