mer vacation until October 26. but
the labor party was thought ready to
call on Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain to summon the commons be
fore that date for a full dress debate
on the Far Eastern situation.
Leaders of the free churches, meet
ing at the city temple, added wight
to Iabor'st demand fur action with a
harp resolution urging the British
government and the League of Na
tions to "stop Japanese atrocities by
ny means possible."
Dr. Frederick W. Norwood, minis
ter of the city temple and well known
In the United States from his fre
quent visits there, struck the very
note of the meeting with the heated
declaration :
"At present I would not buy any
thing that came out of Japan tf my
life depended on It."

country had most to fear was ftar.
This "fear psychology" is suggested
as part of the explanation of the
present financial situation.
Secretary Morgeuthau. perhaps
with this in mind, was quick to call
attention to the bond market, which
didn't get frightened and which he
said was "behaving beautifully" de
spite the crash in stocks.
Other reasons behind the steady
bond market were perhaps the excess
reserves of member banks of the fed
eral reserve system, which increased
In the five-week period ending Sep
tember 22 from 1800 000.000 to
000.000.000 as the result of a release
of gold by the treasury from It In
active account. The bulk of the In
crease in exce. reserves went to New
York City banks, and. on September
22, these hanks had excess reserves
of 350.O00,O0O. Chicago banks had
50 000.000, and banks elsewhere
60.00.000.
