Washington. June 14. Not lone

Eccles. It's fortunate the conversa

In a. more public forum. It would
have caused an epidemic of apoplexy
In bank president' offlcea.
The subject, aa usual In auch talks
In these days, was the depression and
lta cauaes. One of the first sub-top-ice
mentioned waa the failure of the
banks to make loans to business, and
especially to small business. Eccles
suggested that the fault was not the
banks', but the bank examination

He pointed out that. If a bank lends
to the Standard Oil Oo. of New Jersey,

by the worth of the company. . Yet, If
a bank should aocept standard Oil

of the debentures. Why not cut the

night they believed 150,000 Chinese
civilians had been drowned by flood
waters of the Yellow river now

worst In the Chungmow area, about
25 mtles east of Chengchow, the

Japanese officers here said they
had no Information concerning the
fate of large Japanese forces scat

Most of the victims, they said, were
Chinese farmers and their families.
Reports from the war zone along
the Lunghal railway, course of Ja

the YellcJw river, known for gener

broken badly at three main points.
Chungmow City itself was under

villages were Inundated.
The Japanese asserted their own
army engineers were working ' day
and night to fill breaks In the dikes,
assisted by hundreds of Chinese
farmers, but the work waa hampered
by Chinese troops firing on the re

At one point there was said to be
a break 600 feet wide In the dikes,
