ATLANTA, March 27—The South has put its money back in the bank— along with some that has been other places for a long time. Some financiers are surprised at the swiftness of the return to normal, and often above normal. Atlanta bankers said: “The situation is so normal as to be featureless and there is really nothing in particular for us to say.” All agreed there had been numerous new accounts and additions to old ones, beginning the minute the banks were reopened. R. E. Gormley, State superintendent of baoks, made substantially the same npop for the State of Georgia at large. Deposits Increase. Clearing house banks in Richmond, Va., reported deposit increases of $16,- 164,900 during the 10 days, March 13-23, compared to the 10 days immediately preceding the holiday. An “overwhelming return of public confidence” is the interpretation placed by John Legier, president of the Amer- ican Bank & Trust Co. of New Orleans, on a business increase which he said had necessitated day and night work, with "additional employes in the bank. Oscar Wells, chairman of the board of the First National at Birmingham, said, “In commen with other cities of the South, we too have had a very satis- factqry evidence of the people’s splendid attitude toward the banks since the holiday.” Nashville Reports Favorable. Nashville bankers said deposits there increased $4.000,000 within two days after the holiday ended. J. S. Love, Mississippi State bank superintendent, said 171 of 216 banks in that State had been licensed to re- open on Friday and “the capital stru ture of these 171 banks has been in- ereased by more than $2.000,000—mean- ing that losses and doubtful aseets for that amount have been taken out of the banks and in lieu thereof cash or its equivalent has been substituted.” BEER SALE IN DOUBT ON COASTWISE BOATS Officials of Lines Out of Baltimore Are Studying Laws of Dry States. @pecial Dispatch 10 The 8 BALTIMORE, March 27.—Offic] of ecoastwise and Chesapeake Bay steam- ship lines today are “at sea” regarding the sale of 3.2 per cent beer on their ships. All the lines want to sell beer on their boats, but find dry laws of Vir- ginia and several other States may in- terfere with its sale. C. D. Swank, vice president of the Merchants and Miners Transportation Co., sald that bottled goods were sold on the M. & M. boats before prohi- bition. but that he did not know whether the line would be allowed the same privilege with the new beer. ‘The dry acts of such States as Vir- ginia, Georgia and Florida, which the M. & M. boats serve, would have to be studied before his company made any decision on the matter, Mr. Swank said. The dry act of Virginia, A. L. Stevens, president of the Chesapeake Line, pointed out, forbids the transportation ax well as the sale of beer. Before 1916, Mr. Stevens said, the Chesapeake Line fleet served liquors and beer to its patrons, but in. that year Virginia's dry act went into effect. The Old Bay Line, which operates steamers between here and Norfolk, was.| similarly affected by the 1916 dry law of Virginia, which stopped the sale of liquors and beer on the boats altogether. 0. O, Ellis, treasurer of the Western Bhore Steamboat Co., whi operates boats to Virginia bay ports as well as to the dry countles of the Eastern Shore, said that “we are planning to sell it, and our attorneys are investigating the | technicalities of the Eastern Shore and Virginia Jaws now.” BISHOP SHEDS TEARS OVER BEER SIGNING| Head of Looal Methodists Tells!

Senate discussion now generating about the farm bill starts with one promise, It is that throughout the farm territary there is a condition so intoler~ able that no humane person and no per- son interested in preserving orderly cive ilisation can consent to its continuing. ‘This opinion is so generally held by per- sons equipped to know that the country may as well accept it as the determining factor in what is about to happen. From this starting point, talk among Senators goes on o assert that “we must do one of two things: Either we must raise the' price of farm crops by action of the Government, as contemplated in the farm bill, or we must accomplish the same end by enacting inflation of the cufrency. As soon as the farm bill appears in the Senate, measures for in- flating the currency will be brought for- ward as an alternative and the notion | of inflation seems destined to become active during April as a subject more | generally agitated than since the depres- sion began, E Impulse Accelorated, ‘The impulse toward inflation, long ex- isting in the farm territory, is likely to be accelerated in the country as a whole by delayed consequences of the bank closings early in March, The aftermath of the closings includes the most drastic single spasm of deflation since the de- pression began. Preceding March 1, the total of bank deposits was about 46 bil- | lion dollars. For sound reasons the Government has kept closed banks con- taining about six billions of deposits. That substraction from available bank deposits constitutes a new deflation. The extent of this deflation, amounting to six billion dollars of bank deposits, is suggested when it is understood that the total of three years of deflation preced- ing was only 16 billions, from a high of 62 billions in 1929 down to 46 early this year, It is true the new deflation of six bil- lions is considerably offset by several conditions, It is partly offset by the addition of two billions to the currency. It is also increasingly offset by the en- | ergy, speed and success with which Sec- | retary of the Treasury Woodin is bring- ing about reopening of closed banks. It | is further offset by increased confidence in banks due to the Government’s care- ful dnd drastic sifting of the sheep from the goats. It is somewhat offset by a considerable increase in deposits in Postal Savings Banks. It s also par- | tially offset by other conditions making | for higher prices for goods. Commodi- ties have had a material rise in price in March, | Nevertheless, the new deflation until ;il is overcome by other forces is bound | to express itself in the phenomena of | deflation now sadly familiar. Any per- | son with six thousand dollars in & | closed bank knows that his personal | buying is restrictéd. Multiply one such experience by a million and the aggre- gate condition can be realized. Consequence of Deflation. | | The consequence of this new squeeze of deflation is that the impulse and | ‘emptation toward statutory inflation by | Congress is likely to be stronger than | ever about the time the farm bill is | pending in the Senate. If the move- | ment toward inflation is held off during | that period, it is likely to diminish in intensity. A distillation of the present atmosphere of Congress would say the } feeling is that the country is in a con- idition of strain.where something must | break, and that a limited and con- | trolled inflation would be the best re- | iner. It would be inaccurate to imply, | |8 of today, that Congress is yet pre- | pared to infiate. i It is from Congress that the impulse toward inflation will come. Every act and utterance of the administration | points toward courses which exclude | inflation. Up to a certain point, op- | position by the administration to in- flation would influence Congress greatly, especially the House, which is strongly disposed to follow President Roosevelt's leadership. There is, however, & degree | of distress through deflation which | might cause Congress to act, perhaps | rather explosively. . Inflation. if it comes at all. would be | likely to take the form of reducing the quantity of gold ih the dollar from | 23.22 gains to something like 15. The other forms of inflation, coinage of more silver or issue of large quantities of irredeemable paper currency, have less favor than reducing the gquantity of gold in the dollar. All the talk and all the tendency deals with an inflation whigh " shall be carefully limited and controfled. (Copyright. 1933.)

BLAME FOR EVILS; SHIFTED T0 WETS Leading Drys Say Beer l\aw Relieves Them of Any Responsibility. Leading drys today proclaimed legal- ization of beer “an abject surrender to: King Alcohol,” and served notice that | hereafter the “responsibility for the | social and political evils of drink passes from the drys to the wets.” Francis D. Nichols of the American ‘Temperance Soclety of Seventh-day Adventists, Takoma Pa in a state- ment issued today, declared the “drys cannot now be held to account for everything that goes amiss in the country.” “We have had to occupy this diffi- cult position for 13 years,” he said. “During all that time the wets have endeavored to blame everything, from drunkenness to the depression, and from heart failure to halitosis, on the Volstead act.” Howard Criticises Congress. Clintcn N. Howard, chairman of the | PYf National United Committee for Law Enforcement, in two addresses yesterday in Methodist Chuteh pulpits, was bit- | ter in his denuncistion of Congress, | calling the beer act “a consclenceless crucifixion of the Constitution.” i “Like Herod, who slew the innocents | of Bethlehem, this ignorant, godless Congress will wear the brand of Cain | to the end of time,” Howard prophesied. ** ¢ Like & lot of swine before the swill cart, members of Congress are | shown on the current news reels at the picture houses defiantly guzzling suds while the eighteenth amendment is still a part of the Constitution, which they were sworn to preserve, protect and defend.” | Shouse Isues Statement. While the drys were frantically at- tempting to swing the public back 1o thelr cause, Jouett Shouse, president of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, jssued a statement in which he said Michigan probably would be the first State to vote on repeal, | with Wisconsin only a day behind. Michigan delegates from 100 legisla- tive districts will be elected April 3 for a convention to be held April 10 Wisconsin's election will be held April 4 and the convention will meet April Slates of 15 delegates from ihe State at large will be elected after be- ing nominated by petition.
