lanks Willi Controller.

of criticisms leveled recently at cer
tain New Tork banks by Controller
of the Currency Williams culminated
today Jn the adoption of a report of
the association's resolutions committee
condemning "dangerous attacks" by
unnamed individuals On the credit
structure of the country.
Presentation of the report brought
on a heated discussion. Several mem
bers maintained that the convention
itseif was not interested in the con
troversy which has grown out of Con
troller Williams' charge that certain
bunkers had received inordinate rates
of interest on call loans.
IC?nrrve System Approved.
The resolutions committee report
expressed complete approval of the
federal reserve system ; condemned
ny effort to use the government
funds or forces to arbitrarily hold up
or to force down prices or otherwise
to interfere with normal economic in
fluences"; recommended the elimina
tion of the excess profits tax as in
equitable and of the surplus tax be
CAU.se "it acts as a brake on produc
tion." and pledged the efforts of the
members toward the opening of for
eign markets through extension of
long-term credits or other means.
The report condemned "speculative
boarding." renewed the recommenda
tion for a national budget system and
expressed the association's complete
disapproval of nationalization of in
dustry, parycularly as contemplated
by the Plumb plan.
Itond Programme Indorsed.
The association resolved to oppose
"further participation of the jrovern
trient in business enterprises," and
referred to the alleged extravagant
losses resulting from government
operation of railroads.
While favoring immigration as
means of pre ven ting labor shortage
and enabling the development of re
sources, tne committee report an
adopted recommended caution in the
admittance of aliens in order that
the country's welfare and its ideals
might be safeguarded.
A five-year programme for con
st ruction of national highways was
indorsed. The report expressed the
opinion that the United States faced
an era of world leadership and pros
perity which could only be lost "by
interna I strife or failure of national
leadership."
Rural Financing; I" rgrd.
Financing the American farmers in
tnakctlng their crops demands new
methods to prevent unjust price de
preciation. Henry M. Robinson. a
banker of I-os Angeles, declared in
addressing the con vent ion. Banking
machinery or establishment by pro
ducers of co-opera ttve marketing
agencies were suggested as alterna
tives. "There are many evidences." he de
clared, "of growing dissatisfaction on
the part of producers of many com
modities, who claim that they are
being discriminated against by bank
ers or those in control of credit facil
ities, and there is constant agitation
b such producers for an extension of
the principle of co-operative market
ing to remedy or at least relieve the
(situation.
"Hankers mui meet this problem.
There must be a modification of the
old attitude."

BRITISH POLICY CENSURED
Barring of Oil lx perls From Meso

(Copyright. 1!2. by the Now York World.
J'ublihed by Arrangement.)
IiOXDON, Oct. Tl. (Special Cable.)
Criticism of the govern merit's "oil
war" in M esopotamia is expected to
become intensi f ied. Serious opposi
tion is developing in many quarters
at what lias been alleged to be a
grandiose scheme to make of Mesopo
tamia a safety zone for the protection
of India and at the same time one
of the greatest oil assets of the
British Kmpire.
It is understood that Britain has
not receded from' tho position t?he
took up regarding the influx, of Ameri
can experts. It was contended that
during the military occupation it was
impossible to permit civilians to enter
the country. Several notes have been
exchanged between the United States
and the British government, and
Britain's latest reply was sent to
Washington some weeks ago.
Th is correspondence will not be
published until a date agreed upon by
both count ries. which w ilj probably
be after the state department sends
its rejoinder.

Character of PostolTice Job Points
to Frank Wagner, From Salem
Prison, as Perpetrator.
ROSEBURG, Or.. Oct. 22. (Special.)
With a clew that leads the officers
to believe that the robbery of the
Scottsburg postoffice and store was
the work of an ex-convict,, who re
cently escaped from the Oregon peni
tentiary, their effort today are being'
directed to ascertain whether or not
a man answering the description of
the criminal had been seen in the
vicinity of Scottsburg prior to the
robbery.
The person suspected of the safe
cracking is Frank Wagner, sent to
the penitentiary from Clatsop county,
who escaped from that institution
September 21 last. The manner in
which the safe in the Hedden store
was cracked compared to the criminal
record of Wagner and leads the offi
cers to believe he is responsible for
the robbery. According to word re
ceived from Scottsburg this morning,
every avenue of escape has been
blocked and the officers are confident
the guilty party will be apprehended.
Many citizens have joined the posse
and the woods adjacent to Scottsburg

It is now-claimed the safecracker
got away with more than $2500 in
cash and liberty bonds.

Noted English Strategist Offers
Services as Protest Against
Red Compromise.
BY HERBERT PULITZER.

Inc. Published bv Arranitementl
LONDON, Oct. 22. (Special Cable.)
Major-General Sir Charles Towns
hend, K. C. B., D. S. O., in a recent
interview stated that bis resignation
from the British army has been ac
cepted and he b,ad offered his services
to General Wrangel as a protest
against any compromise with the bol
sheviks. General Townshend is a descendant
of Lord Townshend, who fought with
Wolfe at Quebec, and has spent his
entire life as a soldier. He is pos
sibly the greatest military strategist
in England. Beginning with the Nile
expedition of 18S4-85 he has served
in ten campaigns, ending with the
Mesopotamian expedition during the
last war.
There, with a force of only 15.000
men, he conquered half of Mesopo
tamia and, acting under superior
orders, but against his own judgment,
advanced to Kut-el-Amara. Sur
rounded by a force of 30,000 Turks
officered by Germans, he surrendered
only when ordered by his- govern
ment, after enduring a five months'
siege, during which his forces were
reduced to about 7000, after his ra
tions were cut down to five ounces of
flour a day per man, and when the
remnants of his division were dying
at the rate of 20 a day from starva
tion. He was a- prisoner near Constanti
nople more than a year. He tried
three times unsuccessfully to escape.
While still a prisoner of war he ar
ranged the details of Turkey's surrender.
BRITISH PARLEY GOES ON
(Continued From First Page.)
Ttad Tbo Oreeron ian classified ads.
Kngland may have a labor govern
ment ay a result of the present indus
trial upheaval, it was dclard 1 oda y
by close observers here of the prog
ress of the coal strike in England,
who said that -reaction will almost
certainly follow the existing- contest
between labor and the government.
One of the outstanding probabili
ties in the event of the defeat of the
Lloyd George ministry is the settle
ment by its successor of the Irish
problem. British organized labor is
opposed to the governmental policy
of reprisal in Ireland -and favors s
prompt solution of the Irish problem.
The range of possibilities in the
event of a labor minister being
formed is wide, including the lifting
of the economic blockade of soviet
Russia and even recognition of the
soviet republic. It was pointed out,
however, that, except in Russia, power
makes radicals more conservative and
international relations would tend to
restrain any British government from
making extreme departures in the na
tion,' s foreign policies, especially as
commerce is considered the lifeblood
circulating through the veins of the
British empire.
A labor ministry also would tend to
draw Germany and England closer
together, while introducing divergen
cies from the Anglo-French entente.
Jt is also considered likely that there
would be important labor reactions in
all European countries should a labor
government be set up in England.
HAMPEIUXG EXPORTS URGED
Union Meeting at New York-Plans
to Aid British Strikers.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22. The central
federated union tonight planned aid
for striking British coal miners
through hampering of coal exporta
tion at this port and adopted resolu
tions asking government control of
mines in the United States and a re
turn of wartime distribution methods.
In the resolutions, which character
ized the coal situation as "desperate
and deplorable,' President Wilson
was urged to place an embargo on
coal exports and order discontinu
ance of the supplying of ships with
more coal than sufficient to enable
them to return to home ports. Copies
of the resolutions were sent to leaders
of the Kritish strikers and to Samuel
Uompers.
Members of the longshoremen's
