THE FINANCIAL CRISIS.
Secretary Foster Prepared for tho Cor
tingency of . Gold Drain.


tingency of . Gold Drain.
WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 1s.--Secretary of the
Treasury Charles Foster today expressed him
SELF freely to reporters respecting the alarm felt
in financial circles over the anticipated large
gold exports. He said:
My duty will be performed in the interest of
the public welfare as vigorously as if my time
was not soon to end Every resource at my
command will b, svailed of to preserve q gold
and silver reserve as am commanded by law.
How about the reserve In the treasury?
No one can obtain gold from the treasury
without paying money for it, AMI with the
money thus received I can recoup the gold.
There Is also q right vested in the secretary of
the treasury to sell bonds il necessary to main
tain the gold reserve in the treasury. The sit
uation as to the cash balance il such a. to per-
init the free use of the cash received for gold to
again obtain gold.
Will the gold reserve be maintained?
IL will be with the utmost emphasisl.
firmly believe that with the resources ar the
command OF the department shall not be seri-
ouSly embarrassed in more than maintaining it.
/ recommend to congress in my annual report
that the reserve be increased from 500 900 to
$125,0 600.
AS the secretary's report was prepared before
the present abnormal drain of gold to Europe
started, the secretary reasonably claimed credit
for fully anticipating the present pressure and
taking all precautions to meet it.

the shortage 10 amply covered By real property,
to which the bank holds . trust deed. The
bank will not lose Q nickel, excep. on one note
for 500 which Mr. Post indorsed when presi-
dent of the bank. Collection could not be
made on this note, and as this was the status of
the matter while Mr. Post was still president.
the note was never protested. 1t is quite prob
able that the court will allow this note TO be
included in Mr.. Posts debts. In George Van.

OF the bank are pleased at the entirely satisfac.
