MEMBER BANKS '
MAY NEED MONEY
SOON IS WARNING
(Cont'd from Pg. 1.)
as It has since the middle of 1912.
Should more currency be needed the
board adds the hanks will seek great-
er accommodation from the reserve
banks to secure the additional cur
rency issued.
"The present lending capacity of the
country's banking system in view of
the great growth of the reservss at
the reserve banks." the statement says.
"is not far In excess of the credit
needs of the country's productive ca-
pacity. In such a sltustiaa It Is the
available supplies of labor and equip
ment and not the potential supply of
credit that in the end must Ux the
iimit which may be attained by ag-
gregate national production. As these
limits are annroached credit policy
must be Increasingly influenced by
careful consideration of the continued
effectiveness of further additions to
the total volume of credit In contri
buting to increased productivity.
The board however directs atten-
tion tothe difference in the increase In
commercial loans by commercial
houses and the earnings assets of the
federal reserve banks ss suggesting
that the) overflow of credit demand
frequently predicted In recent weeks
hss not yet started and the situation
shows therefore the statement adds
that the increased credit demsnd has
been largely in response to ths in-
creased volume of production. At
the same time the board quotes from
the report from the Hoover commit-
tee on unemployment snd business
Cycles to the effect thatths repaid
expansion of bank credit often lifts
the buying power of the community.
While In no way connecting the
action directly with the situation as
regards present credit demands the
board makes public for ths first time
another policy adopted by it and the
governors of the Federal Reserve
banks who recently held their annual
spring conference here. The board's
new principle deals with open market
activities of the reserve banks and
says In part "that the time manner
character and volume of open market
Investments purchased by Federal Re-
serve banks be governed with pri-
mary regard to the accommodation of
commerce and business snd to ths ef-
fect of such purchases or sales on the
general credit situation."
This policy the statement explains.
places investment operations of the
Federal Reserve bank on the same
general considerations as those pro
vlded In the federal reserve set for
the determination of discount rates-
It serves also as a gauge for the re-
serve banks ss to the degree of ad
justment between the requirements
for reserve bank credit and J he
amount In actual use.
Thus far. the board says the busi-
ness expansion has been characterised
by a rapid Increase In the output of
basic commodities snd in this respect
the business recovery from wsr con-
ditions "Is almost without parallel in
American history." The volume of
goods produced and consumed during
the first three m on tie of this year
probably sets s new record for Amer-
ica the board asserts adding that
"fuller employment of equipment snd
labor has produced additional Income
from which profits and wages were
realised."

Associated Press Report.
MARION. 111.. April 29. After hav-
ing called to the witness stsnd nearly
every law enforcement officer of Wil-
liamson county during the last three
days members of the legislative com-
mittee Investigating the Herrtn mine
riots expressed satisfaction today with
the progress made. One more session
will be held In Marion tomorrow the
committee planning to return to
Springfield tomorrow night.
To determine the responsibility for
the failure to send troops to prevent
the riots particular attention was
given to the activities of Colonel Sam
Hunter personnel officer on the staff
of Adjutsnt General Carlos Black wno
cams to Marion to Investigate reports
of trouble at the mine owned by W.
J. Lester which wss being operated
with non-union labor.
At previous sessions held in Spring-
field Colonel Hunter testified that he
had repeatedly urged General Black
to send troops. This was denied by
Black who asserted that Hunter told
him the situation was under control
by the civfl authorities and that there
was no need of troops.
A number of witnesses in Marion
aald that they had heard Hunter talk-
ing to Black on the telephone and
had heard no request for troops but
Carbondale reporter said that he
had heard troops requested.
Five witnesses including Delos
Duty. State's attorney testified posi-
tively that they had heard Hunter
tell Black the night before the slaying
of non-union men that troops were
not needed. Judge D. T. Hartwell
who presided at the two murder trials
resulting from the outbreak testified
that he had heard Hunter tell Black
about a truce being arranged but had
not heard anything regarding troops.
Hunter has denied talking with
Black on the telephone that night and
has obtained a record of his calls
from the Marion telephone office
which do not show that any such call
was made. Members of the committee
were Informed however that a call
at 11 o'clock that night was recorded
at the Springfield telephone office.
The progress of the hesrlng devei
oped repeated clashes between peace
officers snd members of the com
mittee. Witnesses who proved unre
sponsive were repeatedly threatened
with being subpoenaed and taken to
Springfield.
Militia officers from Salens. Cairo
and Mount Vernon have been called to
testify tomorrow.

RESERVATIONS TO
WORLD COURT PLAN
HINTED BY LODGE
t (Cont'd from P. 1.) ... I
membership In the court put forward
by the administration but added that
It might be assumed that the so sat
may very possibly originate aaa pro
pose other conditions.
This declaration by Senator LOOse
with his further assertion that "sat-
isfactory adjustment would be reach-
ed." was interpreted In som quarters
as rather definitely indicating that h
and a number of republican senators
known to have similar views feel that
the administration conditions or res-
ervations are Insufficient. The nat-
ural result of this attitude It was
generally conceded would be the of-
fering In the senate of new reserva
tions designed primarily to separate
further American participation In
court activities from ths affairs of ths
league.
The attitude which President Hard
ing would take toward further res
ervations has not been disclosed and
quit naturally Is not expected to be
until the world court question comas
up In the senate and any additional
conditions proposed are drafted.
Mr. Harding Indicated that he re
gards the two conditions which he has
recommended as quite sufficient but
there remains the question of whether
he would not In the Interest of party
harmony accept reservsttones propos-
ed In the senate. The two conditions
to American adhesion to the Interna
tional court protocol which the admin
istration has proposed provide for dec-
larations of the refusal of the United
8tatea to join the league of nations
and that the United States shall have
an equality of representation In the
council and In the assembly in the
election of court Judges.
The ststement by President Hard
ing relative to the world court was
made In the course of his address last
night before the American Society of
Newspaper editors. It was a declara-
tion there waa no truth In assertions
that the administration hsd proposed
American membership in the court al
the behest of international bankers.
In making his denial the president re-
ferred to "a very earnest editorial"
making such assertions which he said
he had read within the last 41 hours.
A similar charge was made several
days ago In a statement on the world
court by Senator La Follette repub-
lican Wisconsin.
There isn't a word of truth In It."
said the executive to the editors In
referring to the assertion of the edi
torial "and I want to tell this to you
because it will enlarge your vision
snd will enable you to comment some
times a little more satisfactorily.
I bare been president s little more
than two years and I have yet to
be asked for an audience or be re
quested sn Interview by a single Inter
national banker in America or else
where. And the only exchange of
opinions between International mem
bers and the president of the United
8tates has beea at the request of the
president and It ta fair to say that In
the lnstancea when they hsve been
summoned they hsve said with just
the same - patriotic Interest snd de-
votion that you would say 'Mr. Presi
dent we are at your service In sny
way you wish to command us.' "
This was the only reference made
by the chief executive to the world
court question In his address which
was devoted mostly to a discussion of
newspaper ethic.
