respecting our financial system that J & g-. Jje Beas,ey Crijp Guy
has been made. Senator Ladd as-
. sorted that congress has betrayed the
people and has established a privi
leged class that the government is
' completely under the control of the
banking Institutions. He said that
these bankers had manipulated every
thing 'in 8ucb, manner that daring the
last three, years it had cost the far
mers of this country $38,000,000,00(5
more io produce their farm products
than 'they received for them tipon
sale. He said that he favored larger
excess profits tax on war profits. He
explained his bill in detail aria"said
that it did not provide for the abo
lition of the present banking institu
tions, but simply took from them the
right to iscue and control money and
placed that right back in the people
where it rightfully belonged under
the constitution.
Congressman Sinclair explained a
resolution which he has introduced
for the investigation of the money
trust. He also took a thrust at the
War " Finance Corporation. He said
I that congress received orders from
the moneyed interests to defeat the
Norris Ml and revive the War Fi
nance Corporation; that the War Fi-
.. nance Corporation had 1 ostensibly
loaned $2,500,000 in his state; but
what hcy had actually done was to
transfer to the War Finance Corpo
ration loans made by the large banks
to the small banks thereby, reliev
ing the large banks of the burdens,
the farmers getting nothing. He said
that a small coterie of bankers was
more powerful than the government.
To this a voice cried out: "They are
the government."
Sinclair! "Yes, they ire the gov-
, eminent."
Voice: "Congress are only their
. agents."'-
; Sinclair: "And very obedient ag
ents, too." '.-'
" Mr. Sinclair said that we are no
longer a tree and democratic govern
ment, but are a government by mo
nopoly.'',. - .. ) ; - ' '
The conference is well represented
from all over the south and west.
Mr. Linthicum ef the democratic

tion. It was learned, however, that

LAST NIGHT, IS HELD
E
Two Painters Complete Work
Here and Leave Without
Proper Settlement
RELEASED ON $200 BAIL,
TAKEN IN ROCKY MOUNT
J. R. Moore, a painter, who has
been eluding local authorities for
.several months, charged with false
pretense, was apprehended in Rocky
Mount last night and brought back
to this city, where he was lodged in
jail until the next term of superior
court.
Moore, who with a man giving his
name as Beaufort, were eng-aged to
puint the Jewish synagogue, located
on wi-st Main street, last July, and
after completing the' job and a set
tlement made the two men left the
city.
Paint for the work was purchased
fnm the Marrow-Ptyi- Hardware Co.
The two men, after stating the paint
had been paid for, were reimbursed
by the trustees of the synagogue.
However, after their departure, it
was found that the bill of sale, which
had been marked "paid" by the hard
ware store, had been forged by the
two painters, who had already re-1
ceived money for the payment of
this bill.
Warrants were immediately sworn
out for the two men, and sometimr
later Beaufort was found and was
brought back to Tarboro and placed
in jail, where he remained until bail
ed out, pending the apprehension of
Moore.
After fruitless searching for the
other fraud, police headquarters was
notified late yesterday that Moore
was in Rocky Mount. Chief Lewis
notified the neighboring authorities
to make an arrest and hold him un
til notified to transfer the prisoner
to Tarboro.
Moore now rests in the local jail
pending release on bail in the sum
of $200, which he has thus far been
unable to obtain. He will be tried
at the next term of superior court.
L
TREE FOR POOR
The Tarboro schools gave a Christ
mas tree in chapel this morning in
behalf of those boys and girls of the
Community who are unable to cele
brate Christmas. The tree, which was
donated by grade 2-B, was placed on
the rostrum and beautifully decorat
ed. The senior class first deposited
its generous offerings about the tree,
then a committee of four boys from
the class received and deposited the
gift3 from the other grades in turn.
The offerings were both numerous
and appropriate. Among them were
fruits of all kinds, , canned goods,
groceries, clothing, jewelry, toys,
money, etc.
The - superintendent commended
the pupils and teachers for the work
done this year. He also praised the
pupils for their showing in the re
cital last night. He then took oc
casion to call the attention of the
pupils to the very great importance
of the school bond issue to be voted
on next month.
"It must be either another school
building or back to the basement for
some of you pupils next year, and
more in the years to come," he de
clared. Palmer buttons were presented to

OF ENTIRE WORLD
America Has Not Yet Learned
Art of Foreign Investment
Says European Banker
NEW YORK STILL GREAT
FREE GOLD MARKET
MANCHESTER, Eng., Dec. 16.
New York is the principal free gold
market, and all the world owes, her
money, bt London still remains the
world's financial center. This was
the keynote of an address by O. R.
Hobson, financial editor of the Man
chesteV Guardian, at a meeting of the
Manchester and District Bankers In
stitute. "Though America's loans to Eu
rope lun into thousands of millions
sterling, America has not yet learned
the art of foreign investment," Mr.
llobson said. "She is not able or will
ing to lend to foreigners at rates
competing with London rates. Again,
despite the remarkable success of
the Federal Reserve system, New
York has never yet been able to es
tablish a -proper discount market, the
smooth and economical working of
-vhieh has done so much to popular
ize the bill on London all over the
world.
' "Although London has lost a cer
tain amount of business to New
York; although the general drift of
the world's wealth from east to west
must continue to give New York far
greater prominence as a financial
center than she had before the war,
yet London's pre-war position has
not been very seriously affected, nor
need it be yet awhile," the speaker
went on. ! r If ISIJ
Referring to the tendency among
banks to amalgamate, Mr. Hobson
observed that high banking authori
ties agreed that but for this'.consol
idation movement, British banks
would not have been able to weathrr
the slump. The inherent soundness
of the British banking system, ho
concluded, had stood the strain and
no disaster had befallen it compar
able to the collapse of the Mercan
tile Bank of the ; Americas. For -the
next few years, the course of Brit
ish, banking, he predicted, would be
rather in the direction of consolidat
ing the position already won than of
entering new fields.
