Capt. Whitehurst also recommended that the Commissioners postpone until Iater consideration of the various re- ports relating to revenue which cause w much controversy in the committee meeflnv and afterwards.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Surveying banking conditions from coast to coast, the State commissioners of banking have within the last 24 hours given composite expression to their confidence in the Nation's bank- ing astructure. In telegraphic statements published here today, the banking commissioners of 39 States made it clear that the re- cent difficulties have been isolated cases. In fact, most of the commissioners pointed out that such suspensions as had occurred had eliminated “weak spots” and therefore strengthened the general situation. Some of the commissloners suggested that altogether too much publicity had been given some bank suspensions with- out a corresponding emphasis on the re- opening of banks. In many instances present difficulties have been traced to old situations, some of them three or four years in duration. A large number of States report fewer bank failures this year than last year. Trend Generally Favorable. Cash reserves have been rising in some a year ago, and the significant thing about all the official statements from the bank commissioners is that the trend is generally favorable. Considerable discussion is going on | as to banking supervision. For ex- ample, the commissioner of banks of Minnesota, A. J. Viegel, says there is a “marked tendency toward closer su- pervision by directors and better bank management, looking toward greater profits for stockholders and safety for depositors.” In the agricultural States, like Iow Kansas and Nebraska, a vast improv ment over a year ago is noted. In Towa, for instance, steady improve- ment has been shown this year and L. A. Andrew, superintendent of bank- ing, says that “Nearly all of the banks Iowa are in better condition at mu time than at any period for the past 10 years.” Similarly, George W ‘Woods, commissioner of braska, states that there have hee “less than half as many flllures in 1930 as occurred in 19: he bank- ing commissioner of Klmu H. W. Koeneke, says that the aggregate cash reserve “is stronger in Kansas State banks than three months ago.” Defalcations by managing officers are mentioned here and there as contribu- tory causes of bank failures, but for the most part veal estate booms and spec- ulations in the last four or five years have been mainly responsible for such | difficulties as have occurred. A large number of consolidations have taken care of weak situations and the inter- esting thing about all the statements is a feel that most of the trouble is in the past rather than the future. Five Failures in California. Several of the States report & negli- gible number of suspensions for 1930. California has had only five failures .n:lud national and State banks dur- ing the year, with “banking credit never more abundant to meet business and expansion needs.” e of purchasing the banks of doubtful assets is constantly goin, ut the country in normal | umes and a significant thing about the bank supervision genernlly is that no new mun'.lmu nrc [ dealt with, but instead matters ve scruuny for lzvml yum the commissioner of Tun James Shaw, who reports that ' th‘ banks in Texas are in good condl- tion regardless of the fact that som sections of the State have made mun crops, expresses the opinion that “banks get in trouble in been undef Jood times through unwise granting credit, but these troubles do not up until hard times come. led times always squeeze the water out of fictitious values.” The review of banking conditions among the State banks where most of ' the r:l\ump‘c]mlernl nlvekoccurred -hr.;;n surp: y few weal I'ROII on the whole and corresponds with the nnenl plcture of confidence for the trade in the national banking fleld. _ (Copyright. 1030 MRS.

This information is given by E. N. Robaina, United States representative of El Pais, one of the Cuban news- papers.

Mr. Robaina states the Cuban gov- ernment forbids the publication of local news in Cuba, resenting any refersnce to the political or economic problems of the republic. On Sunday, the day the three prin- cipal papers decided to issue a joint edition, Mr. Robalna issued the fol- lowing statement: “After nine of suspension the cub-n press finds itself in a particu- fi:mon in regard to American ad- vm who have been watching the situat| with keen intecrest and are now becoming restive they are un- able to realize why this suspension is maintained after the Cuban consul general in New York officially an- nounced on November 20 that he had been informed by his government that ‘perfect order reigns throughout Cuba and all industrial and social activities are noj “As we have been approached from different quarters with reference to what appears to be an obdurate atti- tude of the Cuban press in the face of such favorable governmental statements, we wish to say that, notwithstanding emphatic reports advising that Cuba has recovered its normal status, cen- sorship 18 being strictly enforced against the press, cable, telephone, telegraph. radio, etc., and that for ‘measures of preuutlan annour-ed by the Cuban government, President Machado re- quested of Congress yesterday ‘authori- zation to extend the suspension of con- stitutional rights throughout the re- | public.’ Trying to Carry On. “Our newspapers have been strug- gling for years to maintain the same standard prevailing in this country, | EADERS GATHER BY MOTHER JONES Lifelong Friend of Labor Ex- pécted to Die Within Few Hours.
