WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 11. The
gr-r-r-eat government drive to un
freeze the capital market has been
accompanied by more ballyhoo than
anything since
the NHA. Jesse
Jones, the RFC
chairman, h a a
talked himself
hoarse. Even the
staid old federal
reserve board
crowd took to
the radio.
Together they
have done every
thing short of
ramming money
down the throats
of business men
In an effort to get rid of the 580.
000,000 which congress authorized
for this noble experiment In credit
expansion.
No one will believe it, but today,
alter three months of effort, they
have managed to put out less than
5.000,000. That leaves them only
575,000,000 more to go.
if k
The latest tabulations by the RKC
and the federal reserve board are in
credible, but official. On October 6
the RFC had exactly 2,357.000 out
standing In loans of this character.
On October 3 the federal reserve
board total was $2,467,000. Add them
together and you find that the gov
ernment unfroze the capital market
to the tune of $4,824,000 up to very
recent dates.
The heat from that would not be
enough to unfreeze an tee cream cone
on a July day.
It la so bad you cannot blame the
government agencies for trying to
make it look a little better by giving
more prominence to the amount of
loans authorized, instead of loans
actually made. The RFC has author
ized about $12,000,000 and the fed
eral reserve board $10,000,000. If these
loans are actually made later, the
scope of success would be $27,000.
000, which might unfreeze something,
but certainly not the credit structure.
There Is Just one reason for this
human nature. That Is one of the
few things which cannot be changed
by ballyhoo.
In the first place, no honest gov
ernment official Is going to make a
bad loan If he can detect that It Is
bad. Certainly Jesse Jones and the
federal reserve boarders are not. No
one knows how many applications
Jones has turned down, but there are
figures to show that out of the first
3800 applications received by the fed
eral reserve board about 1300 (nearly
half) were rejected. The reasons were
that the borrowers could not offer
good collateral, were not In good fin
ancial condition or were ineligible.
In the second place, no business
man with good collateral or in good
financial condition la going to boi
row money from the government or
anyone else unless he thinks he Is
going to make a profit out of using
the money.
This current experience Is a rather
conclusive Indication that the people
who want to bring back prosperity
by artificial credit expansion are try
ing to make the horse run backward.
All the credit in the world will not
move a bobbin indxistry unless it is
accompanied by expectations of fu
ture business profits.

Prince Paul
Will Be Head
Of Regency

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Oct. 11. (AP) The boy Crown Prince Peter
was proclaimed king of Yugoslavia today by both houses of parliament sit
ting as a national assembly. In a scene of sadness, and silence, broken
only by the spoken pledges, the members sitting as a national assembly
took the oaths to make the 11-year-old son of the slain Alexander King
Peter the Second. , has made strlkda gnl
Each member took the oath indi- 1
vidually to support the king's consti
tution and the law of the land.
A solemn scene was presented as
the pale, nervous Prince Paul, Alex
ander's cousin and head of the newly
appointed regency, looked down from
the royal enclosure at hundreds of
sad-visaged deputies, as each raised
his right hand and with the left on
the Bible pledged himself to the new
regime.
Prince Paul himself dramatically
won the heart of parliament by a
simple laconic speech.
After swearing faithfully to serve
his country and to preserve the unity
of Its people, he said:
"Thank you for your confidence In
me. I think you have not made a
mistake in me."
The deputies then broke Into pro
longed and excited cheers such as
have seldom been won by a care
fully worded oration In a parliament
where the ceremony took place.
The senators and deputies, still
feeling the shock of Alexander's as
sassination at Marseille, obviously
were reassured by the prince's words.

PARIS, Oct. 1 1 ( AP ) France's
police, stung by the assassination on
French soil of . King Alexander, of
Yugoslavia, and Louis Barthou, for
eign minister of France, arrested two
alleged terrorists and shot It out with
a third who escaped and hunted In
tently for two more accomplices to
day. The terrorists gang, they said, was
affiliated with Petrus Kalemen. the
assassin of Morsetlle.
France prepared to bury her be
loved statesman, Barthou, even as she
guarded zealously the safety of the
new king of Yugoslavia, 11-year-old
Peter II. and his mother, the widowed
Queen Marie. Madame Lebrun, the
wife of the president of France, of
fered herself as a pledge of Queen
Marie's safety, for, disguised with a
heavy veil, she rode through the
streets of Paris In an automobile
with her husband, sitting In the
place of honor that spectators might
think she was the Yugoslavian queen.
Queen Mario, meanwhile, was smug
gled from the Marseille train to the
Yugoslav legation where she Joined
her son.
A shakeup of the French cabinet
appeared increasingly probable as the
public denunciation of police failures
arose to a storm of protests.

(fP) Authorities here disclosed today
that secretary of the Italian consul
ate was severely pummeled. but not

a crowd which had Just learned of

ian consulate, happening to pass by,
was speedily recognized. Tho crowd
cried 'out derisively against Italy, then
seized the Italian official.
Police Intervened immediately, freed
the Italian before he was seriously
Injured, and escorted him home.
Reports published abroad that there
were public demonstrations with
speeches against Italy were flatly de
nied by Yugoslavian authorities.
Public sentiment against Italy,
however, is running high,
The man on tho street blames Italy
for the assassination of the king,

that Italy Is giving shelter to large
numbers of Croatian emigres, even
keeping them in camp where, the

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11. (.p)
Reaffirming Its non-partisan policy,
the American Federation of Labor to
day turned down resolutions calling
for the formation of a political labor
party In America.
The resolutions committee had rec
ommended that the federation should
remain non-partisan and show no dis
crimination, following its attitude In
racial and creed matters.
A viva voce vote brought a large
number of dlsssentlng votes against
rejecting the motion calling for tho
political labor party, but William
Green, president of the federation,
ruled the "ayes" had carried.
Pleading for formation of a polit
ical party, Hugo Ernst of the Hotel j
and Restaurant employes, declared
"the time has come when labor needs
to organize along political as well as
economic lines."
Ernst said the resolution calling
for such a party was not communistic.
He assailed tho stand taken by
Acting Gcvernor Frank Merrlam of
California during the- recent genernl
strike here, charging the governor
"had played into the hands of the
vicious industrial association" In call

And we had "Dicny" Dean. Anywhere

The courtroom scene didn't last
long because neither ball player had
time to call their lawyers quick. 1
believe I am the only fellow who
talked with both boys in their dress

Medwtck, whom I already knew, is
a fine boy and he felt very sorry, said
it was Just in the excitement of the
game, and he did It before he
real l ted what he waa doing, and that
he had no hard feelings at all toward
Owen. Owen was mighty nice about
it and said there waa no attempt at
a fight or an argunynt, and that he
thought that Mcdwlck had done
what he did In the excitement.
It waa the crowd that wanted to
fight, not the ballplayers. The Tigers
