POWERS OF ALLIES FIND UNITED FRONT (Continued from Page One) treasury officials said tonight should go far towards removing the uncer tainty, financial and economic in Europe. If a certain income can ba assured the allied nations, officials said, the proceeds of unwinding the tangle torn by the war can, in their opinion proceed with good prospects ?f success. Except indirectly, however, offi cials said, the fixing or the amount of reparations would be without ef fect upon the liquidation of the 110,000,000 war loan to the allies by this country. The moral fact of the settlement of this question, they contended might to some extent re suit in accelerating payment by the ; allies of their debts to this country. [ The United States, the officials i added, has consistently taken the j position that no scheme for liquidat ing the allied loan would be accept able which made payment to this country contingent upon Germany fulfilling her reparations obliga- j tions. The allied debt to the United States, they said is a separate and distinct matter from any indemnity to be exacted from Germany. MRS.

J. Bullock, chairman of the committee on economic research at Harvard University, In an address to Associate Savings Trust compa nies of Massachusetts last night. "We would have suffered the worst panic in history," he said, "but for two factors: For the first time Europe was our debtor to the extent of fiteen or t^nty billions; i and we had our federal reserve sys tem. Wholesale prices never fell so fast nor so far in so brief a perior os -n/viir Wa nmir armour tn hp in the I last phase of liquidation of retail prices and labor." NATIONAL BANKS ARE } IN SPLENDID CONDITION v . Washington, Jan. 29.__A11 loans | and discounts held by national banks including United States gov-j ernment obligations had increased | on November 15th last less than 9 ( per cent over such holdings for^ March 4, 1919, a twenty month period, according to a compilation of the latest bank call figures made public by Comptroller of the Cur-1 rency Williams today. The state ment further shows that United States securtities now owned or held as collateral by the national | .banks greatly exceed the money borrowed by them from all the fed eral reserve banks. "Their strong and well fortified i rendition." said the comntroller "and the fact that their aggregate borrowing on rediscounts and bills ^ payable amount to only about ten per dent o^ their total resources, isj particularly gratifying when we consider that our people in the last three and one half years have taken up, paid for and havq pretty well di gested about .twenty four bilion dol lars of government obligations." The total resources of all nation al banks on November 15, 1920, amounted to $22,081,913,000. To tal deposits were $16,916,702,000 and total loans and discounts ex clusive rediscounts were shown to be $12,311,514,000. The U. S. government securites held on that date amounted to $2,152,465,000. MONEY SAVED THROUGH CO-OER AT IVE MARKETING Clemson College, Jan. 29.?The Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture, reports that farmers in New Mexico saved $102,220, during 1920, by selling Pinto beans through a co-operative mnrkofinor accnrintinn orpnfod r the lines recommended fey the bu reau. The association shipped 500 carloads of beans, the total ship ment weighing 20,000,000 pounds. In the same state by employing co operative methods to market sweet potatoes, farmers saved $35,000. The effective work of a scare of co-operative marketing associations in California and other western states is well known as having put the marketing of fruit and other 1 farm products on a stable and profi- : ;able basis. Co-operative marketing s the one safe way for farmers to iispose of money crops, and the day should not be far distant when South Carolina farmers will market :o-operatively not only the state's nain money crop, cotton, but also ;obacco, potatoes, melons, etc. Aaron Sapiro, expert co-opera- I ive marketing in the far West, 1 nade addresses recently at Florence ' tnd Spartanburg and made so I itrong an impression that he has ' >een secured to make an address 1 jefore the Legislature on February L.

The total production estimate, the < survey said, probably would be in-] creased when the amount of oil con- j sumed on the leases is known and af- i ter allowance is made for net chan-; ges in stocks held by producers on 1 the leases, but as it stands repre- j sents a gain of 17 per cent, as com-' pared with 1919 and of 78 per cent, j as compared with 1913. Imports of petroleum during 1920 amounted to 106,175,000 barrels J more than double -the imports of j 1919 and almost five times greater; than the imports in 1913.
