(Continued From First Naturally everything possible has been done to restore public confidence. In the sentral office of one of the biggest banks, an immense wooden cupboard with wire grating sides simply packed with r money was placed exactly where must be seen by every ome. The money can tonight be placed in the vault or returned to the Reichbank. It simply was not needed. An Ameriean banker, who had pre- dicted & 50 per cent run on the Dres- dener Bank for today admitted that he had never seen anything like the Ger- man placidity. " 't they want thelr money?” he asked. “I'm simply baffled.” It seems likely that Chancellor Hein- rich Bruening’s radio speech last nifilt did considerable to restore the people’s lence. ‘The chancellor's reputa- tion for solid reiiability and courage hay grown steadily.

Bruening Reassures People. Dr. Bruening’s firmness, moderation and courage are apparently just what the people wanted. He explained the present situation simply, adequately banished any fear of the much-dreaded inflation and explained that under pres- ent circumstances the Germans cannot expect much assistance from aboard. He promised that the savings banks, which are still virtually closed, will soon be opened. He reassured the people that, despite apocalyptic rumors of all types, the government will not attempt to withdraw from the world behind an impossible legisiative wall and attempt to achieve an impossible economic self-sufficiency. He announced that his aim is inter- national economic co-operation with the Anglo-Saxon countries and France and Italy.

The long bank holidays, with today's evidence of the mi t nerves of the people, has to the following situation: By making money short it has con- sidersbly reduced political agitation among various sorts of fanatics, thereby proving conclusively that what seemed to be an almost perverse will of part le could not subsist without su) pport. - It has considerably reduced the possi- bility that the coming plebiscite for the dissolution of the Prussian Landtag will succeed. This scheme, in which the ultra-patriots, Communists and business parties are strangely grouped against all that is rational and moderate, could mean the fall of Chancellor Bruening. Dr. Oliver M. W. Sprague, Arerican- born former Harvard professor of economics, now adviser to the Bank of land, who came here at Dr. Bruen- ing's request to advise Germany on measures for seif-help, is delighted by the magnificent courage of the German people. Dr. Sprague now believes that the corner has been turned. (Copyright, 1031.) BOOTLEGGER KILLED IN CAR AT BALTIMORE Police Attribute Slaying to New- comer's Refusal to Pay Racket Tribute.
