LEADERS in finance, business and
politics gather at the White
House on Tuesday night, at the Invi
tation of the President, to discuss a
program for restoring confidence and
checking deflation.
Wall Street hears of the conference
on TUESDAY MORNING, and the
stock market surges upward in a spec
tacular advance that restores five
billion dollars to security values be
fore the conference itself actually
begins.
WHAT la this program which so re
stored the confidence of secur
ity buyers that they bid up security
values to the extent of five billion
dollars before the conference at which
it-was proposed was held?
Well, It falls under three main
heads:
1. Formation of a new credit or
ganization to thaw out frozen assets.
2. Broadening of the facilities of
the federal farm loan board.
3. Liberalization of the rediscount
provisions 'of the federal reserve sys
tem. .
VP YOU are Just an ordinary citizen,
not a financier, you may ask this
question: "What Is a frozen asset?"
Here, In reasonably simple terms, is
the answer: A frozen asset Is any
asset that has FUTURE value, but
cannot at present be realized upon."
SUPPOSE you own a note that is
due, and the maker of the note
can't pay It, and It you foreclose and
take possession of the property that
secures the note you cant sell It for
cash. ' ' ' '
That la a frozen asset.
QO FAR, -so good. .But you may go
. further and ask: "What is nttant
bf 'broadening the facilities of the
federal farm loan board?'
The federal farm loan board stands
back of the farm land banks. The
farm land banks loan money on
farms. If a fanner, handicapped by
depressed prices of farm products,
. cannot pay his loan ..when .4t."alla
due, there is trouble.
If federal farm loans are not paid,
.as they fall due, the whole ysttem
gets Into a Jam.
' 1 1 '
AS THESE words are written, the
"broadening of the facilities of
the federal farm loan board" that Is
proposed has not. been exactly defin
ed, but it must be assumed that it
means providing more capital so that
these loans that cannot be, paid can
be carried without foreclosure, until
business conditions Improve, making
payment possible.
It Is specifically mentioned that the
amount of additional capital needed
for federal farm loan banks Is (60,
000,000. M
NOW for No. 3 the "liberalization
of the rediscount provisions of
the federal reserve system."
If you are Just an ordinary citizen.
not up on financial terms, this will
leave you hazy. .
THE banks loan money for short
time commercial purposes, tak
ing the borrower's notes. These notes
are known as "commercial paper."
If the banks need more money. In
order to take care of the business of
their communities, they take these
notes, .known aa "commercial paper,"
to the federal reserve and "redis
count" them, which la another . way
of saying that they borrow money on
them; the money so borrowed by the
banks being Issued by the federal re
serve bank against the security of the
notes so pledged.
In good times, when business Is
active and aound commercial paper
plentiful, the system worka admir
al ably; but In dull times, when SOUND
commercial paper Isn't so. plentiful
and frozen assets are more numerous,
it doesn't work so well.
i . .
WHAT is proposed, obviously, is to
make It possible for the federal
reserve bank to issue money when it
Is needed for legitimate purposes of
business and to use It Is a basis for
Its notes or "paper," to use the
banking term that are GOOD but
slower as to payment.
noiLED down to Its barest essen--
tlals. this three-fold program
whose bare announcement caused the
stock market to surge upward so
strongly means providing more time
for honest and SOLVENT debtors to
work out their problems, which have
been made acute by depression, and
ao in time pay their debte and get
back on their feet.
The money needed for this purpose
will be provided preferably from pri
vate sources, but If necessary the
government will provide a part of It,
as was done during the emergency of
war time.
That Is the whole story.
I I
IT DOESNT seem, and isn't Intended
to mean, that If you are out of a
Job and out of money you can go to
the bank and get money without se
curity. But it IS intended to help
you If you are in such a plight.
It will do It this way: If the plan
works, it will restore greater confi
dence In the future of business, so
that people who HAVE money will
not be afraid to Invest it in con
structive enterprises of various sorts
Instead of hiding It away' where it
"ill do nobody any good.

Indignation sureed high today over

While anti-Japanese feeling was

Recent rumors to the effect that
fifty Japanese warships had been

CHIEF EXECUTIVE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 (AP) Presi
dent Hoover is making an extensive
inquiry Into possible means of stab
ilizing railroad bonds.
Hundreds of banks, particularly In
the mlddlewest have Invested in such
bonds because of a steadily declining.
demand for loans in the agricultural
areas. - '
Because of declining revenues
many of the railroad bonds have
been dropped from the list bf 'secur
ities eligible for purchase by banks
and mutual savings associations.
T.hese banks, therefore, have asked
the general railroad bond situation
be brought under the scrutiny of the
president and such governmental
agencies as would be available for
such an investigation.
The Inquiry of the president was
started today and a number of high
government officials have been In
structed to give him full-reports.

ABILITYTOPAY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. (AP) The
administration made It plain agiln
today that the ability to pay Is still
regarded by It as the basis for col
lection of the European war debts.
There has been no suggestion on
the part of President Hoover for an
extension of the moratorium on war
debts and reparation payments.
While there Is no intention on the
part of this government to force pay
ments beyond the ability of the for
eign nations to pay. nevertheless
there Is a definite purpose to Insist
that the European governments live
up to their agreements Insofar as
they are able.

BEVERLY HILLS, Oct. 9.
Here, why didn't you tell ma
what this fellow "Pepper"
Martin from Oklnhoma was do
ing! Had been in Mexico all
this time and hadn't heard a
thing. I would have flew clear
there to see that fellow Okla
homan operate. Why, I ean't
hear a thing of Hoover, Borah,
Coolidgo, Aimee, Capone or
Gandhi. Well, there was never
a time when a man that would
"do something" is more appre
ciated or a novelty than he is
today. It looks like Governor
Murray and Martin in '32.
