Stephenson, president of the American Bankers’ Association, said in a state- ment yesterday that “we will have the strongest banking situation we have ever enjoyed and one worthy of the highest confidence of all our people” as a result of the elimination of “undeniable weak- nesses” in the country’'s banking struc- ture in 1930. Mr. Stephenson asserted most of the closed banks will pay in full or large part, so that the amount lost would be reduced. He said also that “despite the prominence in the news of banking diffi- culties, only a small fraction of the total banking figures are affected.” ‘Asserting it is the who pays the main part of the penalty if unfortunate results follow upon de- rtures from sound banking practice, r. Stephenson maintained that the soundness of banking as a practical ‘matter of fact is community problem in which the public has a part to play| as well as bankers and Government offi- cials.’ Government Function Defined. Dwelling at length on the relation- ship of the public to banking stability, Mr. Sf nson said: “The function of Government ba is to promote and enforce care- ful administration through the system of examination and supervision. ‘This, however, does not relieve the indi- vidual depositor from the necessity of judging and choosing carefully as to his relations. He must inquire for himself into the character and type of institution and men he shall do business | with, satisfying himself as to their repu- | tation, reliability and capability. These qualities are essential to complete the element of safety and dependability in any human institution. | ““The past year has been a severe one for banking as well as all lines of busi- | ness. Banking in some instances and | in some localities has reflected una- voidably something of the character and conditions of the times through which we have been passing. “Looking back, we realize that much that was unwise crept into some of our business activities. While upon the in- | dividual bankers there rests without | qualffication the direct responsibility for the prudent, honest conduct of theis institutions, nevertheless the soundness of banking as a practical matter of fact | is a _community problem in which the public has a part to play as well as bankers and Government officials.” Stronger Situation Predicted. ‘The public can exert an influence in | shaping the character of banking also, | he said, by supporting the purposes of bankers “to maintain intelligent inde- pendent and honest banking super- vision.” In many cases of bank troubles the | only thing wrong with a bank was an | unduly suspicious and apprehensive state of mind in its customers, Mr. Stephenson said, “created by no act or | condition of its own, but by baseless | rumors which sometimes led them to destroy the value of their own deposits | by demanding them immediately, orc- ing a pank to sacrifice its assets and otherw disrupt its financial opera- tions:" Mr. Stephenson reminded the public that “deposits are not kept as cash, but are invested in loans and securities, and even the soundest assets of this type re- quire some time to reconvert at full value into cash deposits.” In conclusion, he said: “The events of the past year have brought about, I am confident, a strong er banking situation by eliminating some undeniable weaknesses. * * * 1 feel that we can truthfully say we will have as a result of these unhappy but curative conditions the strongest bank- ing situation we have ever enjoyed and one that is worthy of the highest con- fidence of all our people RUM BLAMED IN DEATHS OF 11 MEN IS ANALYZED County Coroner's Physician at Omaha Calls It “Worst Poison” He Has Encountered.

By the Assoclated Press. DETROIT, January 5.—Bishop Thomas | Nicholson of the Methodist Episcopal | Church, president of the Anti-Saloon | League of America, believes that *pro- | hibition forces have a big fight on their | hands, but everything is in their favor.” The bishop has returned to Detroit | after a threé-month tour of Japan, China and Korea, during which he in- vestigated temperance conditions in the Far East. In an interview yesterday | Bishop Nicholson said that intoxication | has increased during the past five years |in Japan and Korea, where the Japa- nese government has a monopoly, and | that conditions are “shamefully tragic.” “When I went into the English- American Hotel in Zeoul, Korea,” the | president of the Anti-Saloon League said, “the first thing a waiter handed | me was the wine list, and I noted 98 items, every kind of drink there is, upon |it.” He said present temperance condi- tions in the United States under pro- hibiticn contrast favorably with those | in the Orient. He declared that prohibition still has a large majority in Congress. prehensive ideas. Their chief stock in forced. " “The ‘wets’ are still in the minority,” | the bishop said. “We will have 300 | members in the next Congress to their 1135. We lost but one vote in the Senate. | The ‘wets’ have no program, no com: | prehensive ideas. Their ¢ stock iz | trade 'is that ‘the law can't be en- | forced.” | “Well if the United States cannot en- | force its laws, then we are beaten, but have unbounded faith in the Govern- ment to carry on the enforcement,” he said. “There is no occasion for worry over the situation in Congress upon a care- ful anaysis of the results of the Novem- ber election,” Bishop Nicholson said. AMY JO TO LAND IN POLAND Aviatrix Given Hospitality ~at House of Priest—Expects to Go on After Plane Repairs. By the Associated Press WARSAW, January 5.—Despite a mishap 60 miles north of here when she smashed the undercarriage of her plane in making a forced landing late yesterday, Miss Amy Johnson, British woman aviator, was understood today to intend continuing her much opposed flight to Peiping, China. Leaving Berlin shortly before noon the pretty 23-year-old girl was driven by the wind to the north of her ob- | jective, Warsaw, when she turned about she ran into a heavy foghank, and finally made a forced landing at the village of Amelin, near Erasnosielk. She was not injured. “I am all right,” she told newspaper men over the phone. “I will leave my plane here and go to Warsaw by plane.” The British military attache here and the Polish chief of aviation made plans, however, to bring her here by automobile today while the plane is being repaired. Meanwhile she accepted the hospitali- ty of the Catholic priest of Krasnosielk, who invited her to spend the night at his house. Her faflure to arrive in a reasonable length of time had excited considerable fear for her safety here and word had been broadeast for all policemen throughout Poland to be on the lookout for her. Word reaches here from Moscow that Russian air officials and aviators, con- vinced that they canno: deter her from her projected flight across Si- beria and Mongolia, are mapping out ;\h? best route to her destination for er.

Five million wage earners were esti- mated to be out of work, in an other- wise optimistic statement on relief of unemployment issued yesterday by Wil- liam Green, president of the American Pederation of Labor. “Gloomy as present conditions are” Green said, “we find hope in the spirit with which communities are rallying to meet the emergency of widespread need, and the capacity of American cit- izens to cope with difficult problems.” Hope was seen by Green in re- ports from labor unions in 24 indus- trial cities showing the increase in unemployment for December was much less than the previous month and less than the regular seasonal increase for that period. Turn of Tide in Spring. He added that rays of optimism were discerned also “in the fact that defla- tion of prices has gone so far as to in- dicate the bottom has been reached: In evidences of returning confidence in the production policies of important pro- duction companies; in the general belief that Spring activity will mark the turning of the tide.” “Wage earners have been bearing a heavy burden as a result of serious business depression,” Green said. “About 50 per cent of trade union members have had to lower their standards of living because of lowered incomes. The incomes of wage earners have declined by over six billions in the past year. As they represent more than 80 per cent of the purchasing public, their falling income has still further added to the business depression which was caused by productivity increasing faster than incomes. More Are in Dividends. “In sharp contrast to the decline in wages industries have in 1930 increased the sums paid for dividends and inter- est by over $400,000,000. Part of this goes back into investments, whereas what is needed is to finance those who buy the products of industry. “Attention has been necessarily di- rected to rel first, but permanent help can’ cor ly from return to reg- ular custol employment.

MKELVIE RENEWS Farm Board Member Hears of Aid Given Senator He Wants Aired. A renewal of his request that the Senate Campaign Funds Committee in- vestigate expenditures in Nebraska both for and against Senator George W. Norris was made yesterday by Samuel R. McKelvie, member of the Federal Parm_ Board McKelvie, a former Governor of Ne- braska, said he had been informed that “hundreds of thousands” of copies of & certain publication were sent into Ne- braska in the interest of the Repub- lican Independent leader and that cam- paign workers from outside the State went to Lincoln and urged Democrats to enter the Republican primaries, thus ‘l‘vlnltclng the spirit and purpose of the aw."” Committee Session Tomorrow. McKelvie testified before the commit- tee recently that he contributed $10,000 to the campaign fund of Norris’ primary opponent, but that only $2,800 of it was spent for that purpose. His request today was made as the committee prepared to resume its in- quiry Tuesday into efforts to defeat Norris. At that time Robert H. Lucas, executive director, and Joseph R. Nutt, treasurer of the Republican National Committee, are to testify. They will be questioned about the $50,000 special ac- count opened here by the committee last October for the convenience of Lucas. The latter has testified this account was pledged as security for a $4,000 personal loan to buy campaign litera- ture, $800 worth of which went to the regular Republican organization in Ne- braska to oppose Norris. Expenditures Questioned. Senator Nye, chairman of the com- mittee, has been of the opinion that more than $800 was used against Norris, Lucas has denied this and Nutt, in a public statement, said all of the money checked against the special aecount— $32,000—went into eight States for con- gressional candidates. In a letter to Nye, McKelvie said he had “no desire to prolong your inquiry, but as a citizens of Nebraska I reflect the sentiments of a large number of unprejudiced people in that State, who woul% lll'('e to see full justice done on les.’ BRITISH CREW HELD FOR DISTURBANCE Demonstration Over Christmas Leave From Submarine Depot Ship Probed.
