WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. What Is
puzzling the smartest banking men
within the new deal In that the fin
ancial situation Is getting so good,
smcs oaa. They are pM---
not losing any
sleep over It yet,
but are fingering
the gold Impor
tation figures
dally with some
thing lebs than
enthusiasm.
Their statistics
Indicate that
more than $300,
000,000 Of gold
f came In within
I the last six
weeks. Their In- PAUL MALLON
tide data lead them to believe that
the end of this flood stream Is no
where In sight.
That la what was behind the re
cent warning against Inflationary
stock prices by President Gay of the
stock exchange; also the reply of
Chairman Landts that his SEO could
not do much about It.
To an outsider, the new counter
gulf stream may appear to be a fruit
ful trade wind which will transform
Uncle Sam Into the Midas of all crea
tion. It probably will, but you may
recall what happened to Midas,
The fact Is all this Incoming gold
merely Increases the unsatisfactory
condition of excess reserves in Amer
ican banks. That condition was bad
enough when our own natural excess
of stagnant bank money swelled to
about two and a half billions before
European Importation1 started. Last
week It was $2,720,000,000, an fhcreaso
of (106,000,000 during that week.
!A11 that the authorities here see In
. It. for the present, Is that the banks,
already drowned In excess reserves,
are having more water poured over
them. It may not make much differ
ence to a drowned banker whether
the water is ten feet deep or 15, but
the difference will be noticed when
resuscitation work starts.
Also, when the gold goes back to
where It came from, the effect will
be directly opposite that of a boom.
There Is one hRPpy overlooked cir
cumstance which has not yet been
advertised. The government has learn
ed that the recent Increase In stock
prices already has brought most of
the stocks Into a higher margin class.
That is, 50 to 60 per cent of the stocks

CAUSE OF CLASH
Emphatic Protest To Tokyo
Unanswered Incident
Most Seriou In Series Of
Border Friction Is Word.
By JOHN U.OVD
(Associated Press Foreign Staff.)
MOSCOW, Oct. 14. yp Informed
Russian sources asserted today that
Saturday's clash on the Russo-Man-cboukuan
border we a product of
provocative tactics of Japanese mili
tary officials.
Acting on orders from Moscow, the
Soviet ambassador to Japan delivered
an emphatic protest to Tokyo, but no
answer was Immediately forthcoming.
The official Soviet press refrained
from comment, publishing a brief
communique setting forth some de
tails of the clash but not giving the
number of casualties.
Promoting Friction.
The Incident was treated In Mos
cow circles as admittedly the moat
serious in a series of border clashes
extending over a period of six months,
but not as a threat of general war
fare. As In previous Instances, they said
a Japanese military clique was pro
moting friction with the Soviet union
to Justify keeping large armed forces
In the Japanese -sponsored state of
Manchoukuo, bordering on the So
viet province of Siberia. ; ......
They placed the responsibility on
the shoulders of the Tokyo govern
ment, but on the grounds of giving
the Manchaukuan army too great
leeway, not on grounds of deliberate
official Instigation.
No attempt was made to conceal
the fact that the repeated border In
cidents were viewed with concern It
was pointed out in previous protests
that Incursions in Soviet territory
"may bring very serious consequences
to the course of peace in the Far
East."
