Aug. 10. — (United Press.) —Buffeting an Arctic gale over the perilous ice crags and clotted fjords of Elletmereland, two naval planes of the MacMillan Polar expedition were unable to find a necessary landing base within 120 miles overEtah, Lieut.

In graphic, ber.se language Byrd described how he and MacMillan with mechanics had set out Saturday night tn a determined effort to establish a base where the planes could land - somewhere to the west. Imt after a long cruise over the rugged panerama of ice were forced to return. The unsuccessful voyage will result in the aviators attempting a 730 mile light from Etah to a place where Mac-' Millan believes there is a landing, place suitable for the planes. ~ _ o Modern Cinderella Is Headed For Movies Today By- Henry Minott United Press Staff Correspondent New York.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE A NATIONAL PROBLEM By WILLIAM E. KNOX President, American Benkert Association The Federal Reserve situation Is the paramount problem before American banking today. The time Is approach- ___________ Ing when it will be necessary for ''k the nation to consider the jet -sal question of rei n chartering the tlas- . Federal Reserve A, Banks. x, The Federal Reserve System .gS»ag/| must be pre- > William E. Knox U 18 °“ of the most! scientific banking systems in the. world. During the last ten years, through all the stress of war, inflation, depression and revival. It served this country as no country was ever served, by a banking system. We know that j without It oitr nation would have had a financial disaster tar more devastating than any that ever assailed iL While we have this great loyalty and obligation to the System, we must recognize that among its friends there has risen serious controversy over many matters of detail. There are many demands for change in the methods of its management and In details of Its operation. Where these demands represent broadly the greatest good of the greatest number we should support them. Where they represent merely narrow, diverse Interests of one part of the country or one type of business or finance, they should be subordinated to the common good. We should meet on the great broad ground of the common wet--1 fare —first to preserve the system In general as It is now constructed, and secondly to bring about, carefully and . soundly, such changes as are required to adjust it to circumstances of today. The task of considering, sifting, weighing and co-ordinating discussion and suggestions regarding the Federal ! Reserve System has been confided to i the Economic Policy Commission of 1 ’ the American Bankers Association. It j is hoped that thereby the Federal Re-

serve System -will be given the best thought and the best support of banking. There Is no greater service banking can render the nation than this. It goes right to the heart of good management of the public economy of America. The Mint’s Sidelines — The United States mints make other objects besides coins. All of the medals for the army and navy are turned out by the mints. Medals of all the Presidents, the Secretaries of the Treasury, the Directors of the Mints, have been designed and executed by the mints. Recently the mints inaugurated the practice of making medals of the Under Secretaries of the Treasury. Congress has authorized the mint to make up 40,000 medals to commemorate the arrival of the first shipload of Norse immigrants on board the sloop Restaur Ationen. which is to be celebrated at the NorseAmerican Centennial in Minnesota next summer. At the last session of Congress there was a flood of bills seeking to have commemorative half dollars minted. The prior session authorized the minting of the Huguenot half dollars and of 5,000,000 half dollars to signalize the start of work on the Stone Mountain carving, which will serve as a monument to the valor of the soldiers of the South. On the Federal coins appear Generals Lee and Jackson, the two leaders of the Confederate forces in the Civil War. A Flood of Coins With the 150th anniversary of the great battles of the American revolution approaching, bills were passed last winter to issue coins commemorating the stand of the minutemen at, Lexington and Concord and the battle of the Green Mountain patriots at Ben-j nington in Vermont. Proposals were made to pay tribute in a similar way, to the battle of Bunker Hill, the victory at Yorktown and other events -.| American history, such as the 200*h anniversary of the founding of Stough-J ton. Mass., and the 50th anniversary of the admission of California to the' Union. Fearing that the growth of this practice would open the way to conn-' forfeiting and make the protection of the integrity of the coins more difficult, Secretary Mellon openly opposed the creation of these special coins, but was not entirely successful in his efforts. He insisted that the practice Introduced confusion into our system of coinage, brought about an unnecessary expense and satisfied a very lim-1 ited demand because the public generally has never shown a special liking to the commemorative coins. However, Congress felt that these great events were worthy of commemoration and authorized the coins—all of which are to be sold at a premium so that the promoters of these events may raise funds by this extra charge to defra.y part of the expense attached. The records of the Treasury show that the special coins, as a general rule, are seldom absorbed in circulation. The Monroe coin issue was a dismal failure—2l7,ooo of the 274,000 struck oft were turned back to the Treasury for melting up. — Journal American Bankers Association,
