Senator Robert L. Owen tonight Is
sued a statement In which ho took
lsue with tho views of W. P. O.
,Hardlng, governor of tho federal
reserve bank board, In his lotted
written to the United States senate
In responso to tho sonato resolution
of Inquiry, declaring that ho ob
Jfctod to the board's raining of tho
Interest rato on loans In nil parts
of the country and for all purposes.
He said:
"What I object to Is the board's
raising the rato of Interest on loans
In all partn of tho country and fn
11 purposes and causing thereby a
period of distrust nnd a breaking
down of tho value of government
bonds- Owners of bonds who bought
them with tho Intention of using
them as security In obtaining loans
now are denied tho privilege of bor
rowing money on tho bonds. Tho
federal reserve, hoard, nn arm of tho
government which urged tho pur
chase of government bonds, now Is
In the position of ruining tho people
who bought the bonds.
Denies Itlglit
"The federal reserve board has no
rtRht to say what Is essential and
what Is nonessential. That matter
should bo left to tho bankers of tho
country. 1 take issuo with those who
say that automobiles and passenger
cars aro nonessential. I take the
position thiU passenger cars aro es
sential and that If tho pcoplo have
made and saved their money thoy
ought to have tho privilege of buy
ing pastengcr cars.
"As regards tho mobilization of
credits for tho moving of tho 1020
crop, I say that tho federal reserve
board lias Interfered with the lend
ing of money by Inmianca companies
nnd from loan companies for the
production of crops. Under the re
serve board's policy, the banks have
found It moro profitable to lend to
those who would pay a higher rato of
Interest and use the money to buy
stocks on a broken market. Those
men can got a loan nt a rato of in
terest of 15 per cent and then niako
100 percent,
Regarding Governor Harding's
fif.itemont that tho average reserve
of federal rescrvo banks now nro a
little moro than 42 '4 per cent as
against 45 per cent nt tho boglnning
of the year and about 51 per cent 12

Fate of Republican Aspirants

Corrc.inondent
WASHINGTON, May 2.1. Two
weeks from today the 5. O. P. con
vention opena at Chicago, yet so be
fOBBod is tho situation that political
leaders heio contend that, at they
view it, morn depends upon tho state
of bodily health of Senator Holes
Penroso of Pennsylvania than upon
almost any other factor.
Jf tho leader of the republican old1
guard Is too 111 to attend tho big
caucus, us some claim he is, the
chances are, according to tho Krow
InB belief hero 'hat tho nominee
will bo entirely different from the
ono chosen if ho Is not too ill to
'make the trip.
It Is tho claim of the old linn ro
puhllcanH that they would bo In con
trol at the Chicago convention and
tnelr leader. Senator Penrose, has
made it plain that ho favors tho can
didacy of neither Herbert Hoover,
Senator Johnson nor of General
Wood.
But stipposlns tho senator from
Pennsylvania u prevented by his
physlcinns from making tha Journey
to tho Windy City and tho old guard

threo most frequently mentioned in

Hoover.
of these It Is considered that Gen

because of his nationally organized
maeliino functioning under tho
leadership of Frank II. Hitchcock,
former postmaster general under
President Tuft,
But two republican organizations
are in operation u tho present time,
tho ono headed by Senator Penroao,
thn other by Mr. Hitchcock. In tho

ho suffered for lack of somo such
organization to help him at tho right
moment, wnno his right hand man,
Senator Wllll.im K. Borah of Idaho,
llkewlso confessed tho absoncn of a
machine waa a genuine handicap on
election days, because a machine Is
needed to orinB out tho vote.
