President Roosevelt sent the fol-
lowing message to the convention:
Properly conceived, our interest
In housing must extend to all that
makes home ownership safe and at
tractive-t0 all that encourages and
gives protection to the pride and Sc

SEATTLE, Sept. 27.-Monetary
policies of the national administra-
ton drew criticism here today at
the first general session of the
American Bankers Associations 65th
annual convention.
About 1000 bankers from all parts
of the Nation heard H. Donald
Campbell, president of the Chase
National Bank, New York City, and
DR.. Paul F. Cadman, San Fran
cisco, president of the American Re-
search Foundation. assail what they
termed excessive Government con-
troll of some major financial func-
tions.
Both speakers condemned any
plans the Government might have
for eventual naturalization of the
credit system.
They said the country's business
was better and would continue the
upturn, but they warned of the dan
gers Of a war boom and easy credit.
Competition of some Government
credit agencies" also drew their fire,
as did the Governments easy
money policy" and its effect on the

vestments of the work and save"
type of citizens.

Philip A. Benson, president OF the

European war would inflict upon the

Mr.. Green urged the Nation to
remain unyieldingly aloof from
armed strife across the seas, hold
ing itself "in readiness to serve in
a mediation capacity and to render
unselhsh service when such service
may be badly needed" Such "op-
portunity' for service, he said, likely
would come when the warning ma
tions are in sore distress" and ready
for peace.
Mr.. Green condemned Nazi-ism

The women and the infant were
legally constituted crew members

They had, through the good Of
fices of the Byzantine master,

Hayes, a wood carver, said he
had received information his daugh-

was unaware she had landed safely
at Galveston.
The young woman graduated
with honors from Stadium high
