Knllowlng u summary ot the pmpijseil Mil uuthoiizln;: the fnuiiatlon of suili cnrporjtldn, tlio bank letter mj-ni "These aie cxtrnonllnniy tlnu-.s, anil nobody wihos In withhold from tlii Administration nt Washington any degree of authority whlili'may In necessary to bociiio the most effective mobilization mid use of our rofouioes iluiliiB the war, but this measure clearly contemplates the use of ciidlt In a manner ami to a degree which In our opinion cannot ho advantageous to the country under any circumstances." It then lirocecda to remark that, while it Is exceedingly Important to give suppmt to the essential Industries of the nation and to bring them to the highest point of cilliiencj. "the pi Inline press Is not an effectual agency for accomplishing that pmposp." The only way to accomplish that end, It cays. Is organizing, co ordluatliig mid directing the In dusliles nnd concentrating Ihem on war work. This latter lew, the bank says, Is the view whli-h the I'liHul He stive lliMiil nnd the Secretary of the Treasury havo advocated in the past and the bank miy.s It feels It Is bound "to assume that they are not lp.illy Intending to ilepait fioin It so far as tho lest of this measuic would Indicate. Wo think It a mistake to even countenance such a policy by piovldlng for its possible adoption." The bank then goes on to suj Hint It iceosnlcis one eotulltlon under which it might be desirable that unuid Investment secliiltles should be accepted by tlio icservc banks ns the basis of loans and currency issues, nnd such a condition, It Indicate, would arise In a great crisis which In cluded n t tin on member banks 01 sax lugs banks by depositors, and goes on to say: "There Is a distinct dlffoience, however, between the use of i-iureucy to pay off irposltor.s and Us ue to Increase the pntchashu; facilities of the community. When used to pay off depositors there Is no Inllatlou of credit, but merely a substitution of o.:e foim of credit for another, and It occurs at n time when ennti action and liquidation me the order of the day. "Tlio refunding of lallw.iy and other obligations. maliiiliiK In Hie near fmiiie does not Involve any serious competition with (.uvcininont limine lug, for they do not icipilre n net iimouut of new capital. Jf they are paid off by fresh capital an equal amount of old capital is it-leased. Their iiueeesful refunding Is almost wholly a matter of Interest rates, and n, guaruntco by the War I-inatiec Coiporatlon or by the t'ov eminent direct would reitnlnly take eare of such easts." r Theie wcie seveial well-known bankers and lookers. In Hie lliuiuilal dlstilct who on Saturday wcie im lined to "side" with the National Cltv Itaiik. Others said that they would need llrst to give the subject moio study, as the prom ess of the war had iippaiently knocked some pet Ideas mid llieoiies of flnanii- and economics Into n cocked hat. and that they had not jet forgotten h.-.iv sonio very largo and piomincnt banks and bankers had bitterly opposed the I'edenil Iteservo act nnd then were tho llrst to procl'ihn it as tho greatest thing that had ever happened vvli'-n It became u law. Others vveio Im.-liin.il to belli vo with Stoictsiiy MoAdoo as to tin absolute necessity nt present for the War I'lnancc Corporation, that certain banks were discriminating in the matter of loans against war Industries nnd that the proposed act to incorporate a war lluauco corpora tion was to enable both national and Stnto banks and trust companies to furnish the necessary credits for such Industries: or enterpilses as are essential to tin- prosecution of the' war. The Ko-rotaiy acknowledges that Government hot rowings have tended to ci tail the credit facilities of the biii,ks and thus pi evented them from giving the usual assistance to scnilpubllc and private enlei prises, and that Instances have been hi ought to his attention vvnero i all roads, public utilities, etc., were uuablo to perform Important service in connection with war ivoik because the Government had absorbed the bank credits which wcie oidlnarily available to them. In u statement Issued by tho f--ocrotnr.v on this sabjeet he said: "The provisions of tho l'edcral Ke.seive law which penult number ' banks to ictllscount nnd put cua.se paper seemed by the Government', obligations and commercial paper havo tho effect of dilvlng the banks to disci linlnnte against loans oil Ineligible paper, even where, such louiis weie vitally nece.is.iry for war purposes, and in favor of tho com mercial paper, even though the companies whose activities were not related to the war and which might well M curtailed dining tho period of the war. It Is believed Hint tho piopoicd bill hns been wisely and con servatively conceived as a war measure to give icllcf fiom this condition dining the period of tho war." The Last Heatlcss Monday? Willie no olllclal announcement has as ct been made, It is generally believed that this will bo the last "heatlcss Monday." That tho plan did not produce the icsults which were anticipated cm not all be. laid at tho feet of I'ucl Administrator Garfield. Nature bccmed to tako Bides with ull his other opponents to defeat tho object ho aimed at. That there has been borne tcllef of the railroad congestion Is generally acknowledged even by opponents to tho drastic order, but It will never bo known whether the same icsults could not have been brought about In some other way which would havo been moro effective and have caused less confusion nnd imsettlemeiit of business- hi general. Speaking on this subject, a well-known banker said on Saturday that the it til adverse effects of the closing down order will not begin to show themselves till tho various industiles and other lorpuratlims compile their reports of earnings, etc., for the first quarter of 131S, The inevitable losult of this closing down order, ho said, which primarily icsultod In n ! eduction of working hours, nlso necessarily means a curtailment of production, and presumably a loss In earnings for the Industries which wire affected, In addition to this, tho Increased expense, which in many cases was homo by tho manufacturers, pi cellules any l-.opo of making up tho loss of all these lillo days. A prominent broker called uttcntluu In what seemed u p.ii-adoc hi this same connection. While ho uckiiovv lodged that many well-known corporations would show decreased net earnings for the llrst quiuter of VJ18, and thcrcforo decreased dividends, yet the prices of stocks during this fuelless period havo materially advanced. This, ho said, Is not con lined to tho Industilul groups, but to railroads ns well. In fact, ho said, the general trend of tho whole list has been upward. Tho question then cutno up as to the relation between earnings mnl stock quotations. Hero seemed n situation v .ero the thcoiy of income available for dividends did not beem to lessen stock values. What, then, Is tho explanation? Tho only plausible 'reason advanced was that a big S majority of stocks uro not on tho market, but nro held by tlioso who believe, them u good investment. Opinions Differ on Date of Liberty Loan Speculation ns tn tlio date of the idsue of tho third Liberty Loan on "the stieet" ranges all thtvvay from .March 1 to Jl.iy 1. Certain mem bers of the last Liberty Loan Committee, hnvo Issued letters) Indicating that March 1 Is to bo tho date, hut In other nnd what would seem better Infoimcd quarters this ilnto Ik said to ba more conjecture. If these letters nro even Bcml-olllclal, thero should ho nn under standing with nil concerned In thcfnapplng but of Hi coming, campaign uh to the exact date, If It Is known, or u stutemenX to tho cffn:t that It N not known. Tho w eight of opinion seems to favor n later date than March 1. It Is n well-known fuct that April 1 Is universally acknowledged nil over this Stato as "sottlhiK day," when farmern and mcichunts nnd banks In practically all tho country towns get together tind squaro accounts. At that tlmo of the year farmers have largo bums In hand from tho sale of their crops and manufacturers uro also li possession of largo proftTs, Judicious campaigning will bring u good deal of (his uninvested U ,n01e- lntQ th0 thlrd L,bcrty Lan, nnd to a great extent, will prevent" imrnmdfM?
