less flattering to national thrift ami

troller's figures rc'ate only to the In
stitutions that bear the name, of sav

other tlases cf Institutions that do
the same sort of business, and tho
savings of the people are far greater
than the deposits reiorted by tho sav

ports an increase in the past fiscal

something over $ l.noO.oou.OOO, an in
rrease of rather more than $:100,OHO
000 during the year. The average
posit per capita Increased during the
year from $ 120 to $115. but 3 per cent,
interest on the sum due depositors a
yvar ago would account for half of
this gain; the small remainder Is the
excess of deposits over withdrawals
Roughly speaking, the depositors
tain about 3 per cent, a year by in
terest and 3 per cent, by deposits In
excess of the Bums taken out. In 10
years the number of depositors has
Increased about 50 per cent... and the
average deposit has Increased but lit

In substantiation of tho outlook
for M-ace between Japan and the

and traveler, said that Japan's great
est problem was not war, but bank
ruptcy, and that, logically, she would
be a peaceful neighbor of this coun

new note by making the assertion
from his knowledge of international

desire to use the money for warfare.
Representative Slayden, of Texas,
