W BANK EXAMINERS
SEE IMPROVEMENT
ECONOMIC MACHINERY OF NATION
STRENGTHENED
Belief Expressed That Progress To.wards
Normal Conditions Will
Be Gradual
Washington, May 5.?General
strengthening of the economic machinery
of the nation was reported
today to Comptroller of the Currency
Crissinger by the 12 national bank
examiners representing the 12 feder
al .districts at their meeting here.
In the main the examiners said
there has been a notable improvement
in business conditions throughout
the country, together with restored
cofidence and a favorable outlook
for the future. The belief was
expressed, however, that progress towards
normal conditions would l>e
gradual and not an overnight accomplishment.
In the New ?York district business
generally shows a wholesome trend,
although still depressed in all lines,
according to L. C. Borden.
tinued, it is hoped that the Genoa
"is believed to be still due to our
Western and Southern agricultural
situation, to taxation, to the still too
high living costs and to labor costs."
In the New York district, he contniued,
it is hoped thst the Genoa
conference will be the first step towards
future beneficial conferences
which will prove more economical
than professional.
The proposed soldier bonus legislation,
e added, "while strongly condemned,
is not having much effort because
of firm faith in President Harding."
Philadelphia is well on the way to
recovery as well as Cleveland and
New England, it was reported.
"Less favorsble reports from the
Richmond district were presented by
W. J. Schechter.
"Industrially conditions are fair,"
he said. "There is probably less unemployment
than is found in the
large cities. The agricultural situation
is serious, but the farmer will be
able to combat the boll weevil well.
The commercial situation in general
is fair but nothing vto enthuse over.
Financially conditions are probably
poor but not so much due to cotton
as to bad loans in years gc>ne by." |
Florida conditions are better than
any state in the union, according to
J. W. Pole of the Atlanta district.
"There is little reason to doubt but
that real prosperity in this district as
well as the entire country," he said,
"depends largely on a restoration of
a satisfactory foreign demand, but
even under the most favorable conditions
several years of thrift and
hard work will be necessary before
this section can hope for complete re
covery.
"Farmers are generally giving attention
to diversification of crops and
the cost of cotton production will be
less than last year. The citrus and
truck crops in Florida have been
fplendid with satisfactory prices and
therefore the situation in that state
is probably the best of any state in
the union."
Considerable decrease in the grain
on hand in the Chicago district was
reporter as well as heavier exports.
"The morale of the farmer is slowly
returning," John S. Wood of the
St. Louis district declared. "The in
creases in prices of grain and live
stock have renewed his hope."
Reviving purchasing power of the
farmers was reported by Howard M.
Sims of the Minneapolis district.
Kansas City is "over the hill," according
to Luther K. Rberts. Enhanced
prices for cattle, he declared,
have restored the vilue of farmers'"
securities and rising values of hogs
and corn are helping conditions measurably.
Cotton conditions are good,
he added, and the outlook generally
is mo?t encouraging.
"There can not be an improvement
under i year." according to Richard
H. Coilier of the Dallas district, '.'and
no great improvement under two or
three years. Two or three crops have
to be made before improvement can
be made. The perpetuity of small
banks depends on this."
Pacific coast bankers look to international
effort to bring about world
restoration, according to Harry L.
Mac-hen of the San Francisco district.

Never before has Danville accord

Lady Astor. It was a real home com

The deep and abiding affection o

leave no doubt as to sincerity. An<
she did it all in a day. In her speed

TWO WATSONS
IN CONTROVERSY
INDIANA MAN CHARGES FILIBUSTER
AGAINST TARIFF
Denial by Georgian?Underwood and
Simmons Say Democrat! Are
Not Delaying
Washington, May 5.?Frequent
and somewhat prolonged discussion
today in the senate as to whether
there was unnecessary delay in the
consideration of the tariff bill finally
culminated in a charge by Senator
j warson (.KepuDiicanj 01 maiana mat
i there was a filibuster against the
measure. . V
"There is no other object or pqrpose
in the measure's being held up
except to delay its passage," Senator
Watson declared. "The object is to
delay the passage of the bill as close
to the day of election as possible.
Nobody is being fooled and if I have
my way we will be holding sessions ,
daily from 11 o'clock in the morning
until 11 o'clock at night."
Senator Watson (Democrat) of
Georgia interrupted to say that Senator
Simmons of Nort Carolina, in
charge of the Democratic fight on the
measure, had asked certain minority
I senators to present their views on
* XL- L!11 L..1
I particular items in uie uai, uut aeclared
it was intended the presentation
should be without filibuster and
with no purpose of delay.
Declaring that it was immaterial as
to what agreement had been made between
Senator SimiAons and his Democratic
colleagues Senator Watson of
Indiana declared there hid been unnecessary
delay; that the "whole proceed
;ngs" had been for the purpose
of filibuster and that so far as he wax*
[concerned it ""would not be tolerated
i in the future.
"If the Republicans who are resDonsiblfe
t& the for Jegisfe
tion and who must answer to the
country for their acts will stay here
to the* limit of their physical endurance
we will quickly pass this bill,"
he added.
Earlier in the day both ^Senator
Underwood of Alabama, the Democratic
leader, and Senator Simmons
had declared that there was no disposition
on the Democratic side to der
lay passage of the bill.
The soldiers' bonus bill also got into
the debate when Senator Walsh
! (Democrat) of Massachusetts asked
Chairman McCumber of the finance
committee if the amended bill was to
1 be reported soon and taken up intme!
diately by laying" aside the tariff bill
, temporarily. Senator McCumber said
i this was planned and that he hoped to
have the bill reported within a week.
Senator Watson of Georgia said
' the Republicans themselves were responsible
for long delay on the tariff,
citing the months taKep 'in committee
consideration. /
