BANK HEADS SUED @ the Associated Press. 3 | SHANGHAI, August '8 —Declaring | 10,000,000 dwellers in the flooded val- Jeys of Central China face starvation before Spring unless aid is given them, John Earl Baker suggested today that part of the United States Farm Board's surplus wheat be poured into China under long-term credit arrangements. Baker, adviser to the ministry of rail- ways at Nanking, told the Associated Press correspondent the present floods probably constituted China’s most ter- rible disaster in the present century. Damage $300,000,000. Baker directed international relief work in the Shensi and Kansu famine yegion in 1930. He estimated property damage of the present floods would total $300,000.000. He refused cven to guess at the death toll and said the Nanking government had not begun a serious survey. Elaborating his suggestion that Amer- jean wheat be loaned to China, Baker estimated at least 5,000,000 bushels ‘monthly would be required for a period of six months or more. “Wheat could be shipped to China under credit arrangements between the American and Chinese governments, Baker said. “Some critics may insist the Chinese government's promissory notes would be of little value, but cer- tainly the wheat the Farm Board is holding is of little value to any one in America, while it could save many lives in China. ‘Wheat as Wages. “Such relief wheat should be distrib- uted in the form of wages to the refu- gee laborers restoring dykes, digging new Tiver channels and perhaps building new roads to traverse the afflicted jons. re5":"‘[12 areas actually flooded embrace 2 population of 50,000,000.

AUGUST 8. 1931 IBANKERS TAKE UP GERMAN PROBLEM Opening of Basel Conference Presages Readjustment in World Finance. BY A. R. DECKER. By Cable to The Star. BASEL, Switzerland, August 8.—The Bankers' Committee agreed upon at the London Conference meets here today under the auspices of the Bank for In- ternational Settlements.. The London Conference recommended that “the Bank for International Set- tlements be invited to set up withcut delay a committee representative of and nominated by the governors of central banks interested, to inquire into the im- mediate further credit needs of Ger- many and to study the possibilities of cenverting a portion of the short term credits into long-term credits.” This means that the politicians have | passed the problem to the central banks | and th central banks nave pacsed the problem to private bankers, “which is just where the problem should be,” as one banker tcld me.. World Review Necessary. The committes's werk will necessitate | a feview of the world situation, for there | are credit givers and borrowers to be | | considered ¢nd both need to be reas- | sured before capital can flow freely | again. The withdrawal cf capital from nearly all European countries following a 10ss ) of confiaence has brcugit about drastic deflation. The creditor countries, which can be counted (n one’s hand—the United States, France. Switzerland, Hol- land, Sweden and Great Britain—felt that’ their funds were insecure in the borrowing countries and where it was possible withdrew them. A The nationals of borrowing countries | Ilikewise felt that their capital was not | | safe in their own countries and found | | ways and means of getting their savings | into what they thought would be safer laces. PlEigh interest rates for the time be- | ing lost their attraction and did not| afford sufficient inducement to hold funds. Even century-old financial cen- ters°like London were pressed. Deflation Has Good Sides. This deflation has its good as well as ad | | | | ides, The fall of the wholesale price index | did not begin until a few years after | the war peak. The fall was not ac- | centuated until a year ago, when, 12| years after the r, production sur-| passed the present day restricted con- ! sumption enough to cause the inverted price pyramid to topple over.

Those nearest to nature, wheat farm- ers, coal and diamond miners, coffee, | cocoa snd rubber planters, felt the | | pinch before the others. | | " Government_relief proved incffective | against the offensive delivered by sup- | | ply and demand. Consumption was | not_increased and production was not | restricted. Governments, caught between the two { millstones of the need of more revenues { and poorer taxpayers, adopted the easy | means of borrowing. They borrowed | from creditor nations to the limit and | | from themselves in the form of short- | | term treasury notes. | " Nearly all governments nlso adopted | a concealed form of inflation, named | the gold exchange standard, a system which the British are advocating for | the empire dominions as Australia, New | Zealand and India.

It was designed and built gy Igor Sikorsky at Bridgeport, Conn. and is known as the $-40 type. With a span of 114 feet the craft has an over- all_length of 73 feet and a weight empty. of 21,000 pounds and fully loaded for long-distance overseas oper- ation of 34.000 pounds The all-metal hull of the giant is 58 feet long and one and_one-half times as wide as the ordinary Pullman sleeper The fuel tanks have a fotal capacity of 1,025 gallons, which gives a cruising range of 1,000 miles without landing. | The first of the great amphibions is | to go into service on the long flight across the open Caribbean from Cuba to Panama, the longest unbroken over- seas flight made anywhere in the worldf, by transport planes on regular sched- wle.
