HOUSTON BACKS RULING
MORE PAYMENTS TO RAILWAYS
TEMPORARILY HELD UP.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Blanket
Indorsement of the federal reserve
system, coupled with a pledge to aid
the National Railway Equipment cor
poration, organized to help carriers
obtain equipment marked the conclu
sion today of group meetings of the
American Bankers association con
vention. As an outgrowth of the convention,
however, bankers and others from
cotton states took steps preliminary
to the organization of a $12,000,000
crop export financing corporation to
meet the situation which led to num
erous appeals from cotton growers
for government relief. The corpora
tion would be formed under the Edge
act, and start operations with an in
itial paid-in capital and) surplus of
S.000.U00.
The federal reserve system waa
given unstinted praise by the nation
al bankers' group in resolutions,
while approval of the equipment cor
poration and the pledge to go be
fore state legislatures where neces
sary to obtain revision of laws pro
hibiting Investment of trust funds
in such securities was voted by the
savings banks' section.
Federal Rnrrrc Indorsed.
Indorsement of the federal reserve
ystem which included approval of
its administration, brought the na
tional bankers again in s'harp opposi
tion to tha stand taken by the state
bankers who yesterday denounced
several phases of the reserve board's
work. All resolutions adopted in sec
tional meetings will be considered by
the association committee and final
action be taken by the convention as
a w hole.
Tha question of par clearance with
which the state bankers dealt in their
section resolutions yesterday, was
passed over today. The special -committee
considering it reported "pro
gress" and was instructed to con
tinue Its work. Its chairman, M. J.
liowling, of Olivia. Minn., however,
said the only remedy he saw for the
country bankers who favor a collec
tion charge on checks was amend
ment of the federal reserve act. The
crop financing corporation project
took shape at an informal meeting
of several hundred bankers and repre
sentatives of cotton interests. A spe
cial committee presented a favorable
report.
Cotton Aid Is Object.
Tenatlvs plans would enable the
corporation to handle all kinds ol
agricultural commodities, but leaders
in the movement aimed at the relief
of the cotton industry as its primary
object. Speakers, however, pointed out
benefits they believed would be de
rived by all producers of farm prod
ucts. The plan provides- for stock sub
scriptions on basis of fl a bale on
cotton produced in various states and
payment down of half the amount, or
t, 000, 000 of the incorporated capital.
Under the Edge act. such corporations
are permitted to handle trade accept
ances or purchasers' agreements to
the extent of 10 times the paid-in
capital which would enable fhe corr
poration todeal in such commercial
obligations to upwards of $60,000,000
Speakers indicated that establish
ment of the corporation would mean
an early opeiuing of sales negotiations
with European manufacturers who
were said to be in the market for
around 3,000,000 bales of cotton. It
was declared that the corporation was
not proposed in any sense as a vehicle
for the holding of crops, but as a
facility for their marketing.
The national bankers elected offi
cers, choosing H. H. McKee, president
of the National Capital bank. Wash
ington, r. C, president.
Farmer Aid Asked.
Bankers can and should aid farmers
fey assisting in establishment of co
operative warehousing and selling or
ganizations. Chairman Joseph Hirsch
of the agricultural commission of the
association, declared in presenting the
commission s report.
Besides urgiirg revision of tax laws,
restoration of liberty bonds prices

opment or an "intelligent and com
potent?" consular service in foreign
countries to aid American exporters,
fiol Wexler of J. S. Hacho & Co.. New
York, told the bankers the public
must be-enll-glitenpd on the value of
a. money center such as Wall street.
The McFadden bill proposing a tax
en gold used in industry and the arts
to be paid to the mining companies to
atimulate production was attacked
and defended before the association.
A special committee appointed to
atudy the measure submitted a report
vigorously opposing the bill as an
attack on "a basic element of Uie
gold standard," while Representative
McFadden. author of the bill, defend
ed it, declaring that the addition of
new gold to the nation's reserve
would assist deflation and stimulate
a healthy return to normal. A mo
tion that Mr. MoFadden's remarks be
received with thanks and filed with
tho reports of the convention was
defeated. The convention then adopt
ed a motion that the entire question
bo referred to the economic policy
committee.
Tho special commute In its report
contended that gold miners were only
one of the many industrial sufferers
from the war and mlcht well look
forward to a return of an industrial
situation which would more than
compensate for their present stringency.
Mr. McFadden denied the proposed
bill waa a blow at the gold standard,
maintaining that its enactment would
be accepted abroad as evidence of
tha determination of the United
Statea to strengthen tta gold reserve

Complete Statements of Amounts
Due From Government 3Iust

WASHINGTON. Oct. 21. Secretary
Houston today described as "final"
the ruling of Controller Warwick that
further payments to the railroads un
der the guarantee provisions of the
transportation act must be withheld
until complete statements-of amounts
due are submitted by the roads.
Under the transportation act, the
secretary said, there is no alternative
eft the treasury regarding advances
on the government's guarantee after
September 1. The controller's deci-
ion, he added, is not subject to re
view by the department of Justice,
but must stand as the guide for the
reasury. in making guarantee pay
ments to the roads.
As the matter now stands, the sec
retary continued, it remains for the
railroads of the country to accelerate
their , accounting and present their
final estimates of the amount due
hem -for the-six months following
federal control, and then the treasury
will carry out the provisions of the
act. . ...
According to present estimates.
about $400,000,000 will be " due the
roads, the. secretary said, taking into
account $233,000,000 advances made
prior to September' 1. '

Envoy to America for 5 Years Ex
presses Hope Traditional Un
derstanding Will Last.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. (By the
Associated Press.) Dr. Fl Kyiun
Wellington' Koo, who for nearly five
years has been the Chinese minister
at Washington, bade farewell today
to the American people. He left to
night for. New York, where on Sat
urday he will board the steamer La
fayette for France.
Dr. Koo has been appointed
Chinese minister at London, succeed
ing Mr. Sze. who has been transferred
to Washington. On his arrival In
France, Dr. Koo will go to Geneva
to join the Chinese delegation a, the
meeting of the assembly of the league
of nations November 15.
Before leaving Washington. Dr.
Koo issued the following message to
the American people:
Faith Put in Americana.
"As I am leaving my post in Wash
ington I cannot but cherish the sin
cere belter ana nope mat tne tradi
tional understanding which has ex
isted so long between America and
my country will continue. It is per
haps difficult for the Chinese people
to express in words the confidence
and faith they have in the American
people. There has existed for many
decades an understanding and sym
pathy between these two great neigh
bors on the Pacific.
"Today China, like other countries,
is in heavy seas following the great
tempest of the war. We are strug
gling to understand and face the new
issues and to hold ourselves united
against those who would undermine
us in this period of great confusion
and estrange us from our friends.
Sign of Growth la Seen.
"China is not the only country to
day suffering from internal difficul
ties, by the meeting of cross currents
and. from the inevitable clashing of
old and new thought, but this is a
sign of growth, and progress and must
be if a wider liberty and understand
ing is to be established in China.
"China, being a land of immense
distances, is inconceivably handi
capped by her lack of communication,
by the inadequate railway system and
by those Physical means of communi
cation which enable other countries
to sustain unity of thought" and pur
pose amongst their peoples. Never
theless, the differences existing in
China today are but of method, and
therefore superficial.
Propagrandn Declared Used.,
"We are not adepts In the use of
propaganda. On the contrary, we have
been, and are today the greatest suf
ferers from this subtle agent which
takes advantage of the friction and
the ebb and flow in domestic politics
for advertisement and so exaggerates
and distorts the facts as to lead the
world to believe that we are without
stability and that chaos and confusion
are the existing order in China.
''These are not the facts but in
the face of this mischievous and per
sistent propaganda it is difficult for
China, without resorting to similar
methods, to present her case and hold
the faith of the world. This war
has shown, however, that In the last
analysis nations will align themselves
according to their inherent character.
Dr. Koo, referring to the opium
problem in China, declared that the

Mrs. Mary Lock of 82 North San
l'edro street. Ban Jose, Calif, writes
an follows:
"A neighbor recommended Vlnol
and I took It for a hard cough which
was accompanied by pleurisy. I was
afraid I might have pneumonia. I
tried some remedies and physician's
medicines but did not seem to gain
very much. I do bousecleaningr and
work in the fruit harvest during- the
season. I took four bottles of Vinol
and beg-an to sain from the very
first doses, and am now feeling; fine.
1 think Vlnol Is one of the best
remedies.
If more people took Vlnol when
they began to feel out of aorta, run

would be fewer cases of long sieges
of illness.
