Washington.—Bank credit “has been steadily available for the successive seasonal requirements of agriculture,” according to a statement by the federal reserve board, designed as a reply to agricultural objections which appealed to the government for a further extea sion of agricultural credit. Recent disturbances in price and de- mand which have been manifest in agricultural markets are “inevitable and unavoidable consequences of the economic derangements occasioned by the war,” the statement said. It added, however, that the gradual and regular movement of the crops was to be ex- pected. “Between January 2 and October 1 about 800 leading member banks, which report their Pondition weekly, and they represent approximately 70 per cent of member bank resources, | have increased their loans for agricul- tural, industrial and commercial pur- poses by an amount exceeding $1,800,- 000,000. This great increase in the credit extended has in the main been possible by the accommodation extend. | ¢ ed member banks by the federal re serve banks.” After consideration of the statement issued by the federal reserve board, the joint committee of the recent ag ricultural conference left here to deal with the matter submitted in a report to Chairman Charles S. Barrett of the conference, in which {it was stated: “The statement issued by the federal reserve board not only does not at- tempt to meet the situation and will not alter conditions, but is even couch- ed in terms to support the prince de- | The board’s declaration that | clines. present disturbances are inevitable and unavoidable is indefensible in this | crisis. “We advise that the next meeting (of the full conference) be held here on October 28, to complete plans already discussed in executive session.” DRY LAW TANGLES UP DEPARTMENTS Washington.—Disclosure of a num- ber of prohibition snarls in three government departments and members of the diplomatic corps are | involved was made when the state de- partment issued a statement saying it “assumes that no official of the government would attempt to pry into the baggage of a foreign diplomatic officer.” The unusual course of the state de- partment in making what appeared to be a public appeal to other govern- ment officals was adopted, it was learned, after the treasury had amend- ed customs regulations to require bag- ' gage of diplomats to be examined and Nquor removed. Back of the action of the treasury department, it was dis- closed, was an opinion rendered by | the attorney-general, It was said to hold that the Volstead Act withdrew from the diplomats the from customs examination “baggage heretofore accorded.

HALTED Washington. — Conversations be tween the state departments and the Japanese embassy regarding the pro- posed anti-Japanese land legislation in California have been temporarily discontinued and will not be resumed until after the November elections, in which the California people will vote on the land legislation. | State department officials explain- ed that postponement of the negotia tions had been made necessary by the | assembling here of the international communications conference.
