Condition of Banks.


AND THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF GOLD IN
THE COUNTRY.
WASHINGTON, Jan. % The abstract
OF the condition of the 3, 100 national
banks December ID, compiled by Comp
troller Eckels was made public to-day. 1t
shows that they had s., 02O, $50, 900 in
loans and discounts and 81, 720, so, 900 in
individual deposits. Spe cial holdings are
stated at s206, ~, 40, of which S16S, PA,
430 was in gold. September IS the gold in
the national banks was S162, 925, 200.
Gold held by the national banks in
Maine Dec. 13 was 1921, 2S3.
Mint Director Preston estimates that
to-day there is $3.50, 900, 900 of gold in the
United States.
According to the treasurer daily state
ment there is in the treasury in round
figures 500, 900 in gold, of which
$40, S59 900 is covered by gold certificates
outstanding. The treasury gold, 800, OOO,-
600, with S16s, 900, 900 gold in the national
banks, makes S26s, 900, 600, so if Mint
Director Preston's figures of $3.50, 900, 900
in the United States are correct there is
1912, OOO 600 gold in trust companies,

The Senate's Monroe Doctrine.

The Monroe Doctrine as interpreted
and expanded by the Senate committee on
foreign affairs reads us follows:
Resolved, That the United States of A mer-
lea reatfirus and confirms the doctrines
and principles promulgated by President
Monroe i'll his message Of December, .. 1875
and declares that it will assert and MAINTAIN
that doctrine and those principles, ana Will
regard any infringement thereof, and par
tlculary any attempt by any European
power to take or acquire any new territory
on the American continents, or any islands
adjacent thereto, or any right of sovereignty
or dominion III the same, in any case or ln-
stance as to which the United States Shall
deem such attempt to be dangerous to Its
peace or safety by through force, pur-
chase, cesson, occupation, pledge, COLOMBIA
ton, protectorate, or by control of the ease
ment III canal or any other means of transit
across the American isthmuS, whether on
unfounded pretenson OF right, in cases of
alleged boundary disputes, or under other
unfounded pretensions, as the manifestation
of an unfrlendly disposition towards the
United States, and as an interposition which
it would be impossible in any form for the
United States to regard with Indifference.
The Monroe doctrine not only places the
United States in an attitude of hostility to
any foreign nations that may undertake
to do any of the things specified therein
as dangerous to its peace or safety, but it
also constitutes us a sort of suzerain of
every South American State. Practically
we undertake to declare that Lone of these
States shall ALLEVIATE any of it's territory or
settle any boundary dispute without first
obtaining the consent of the United States
In short, this doctrine as here declared,
not only may oblige us to fight the whole
of Europe, but South America as well.
If England should succeed in settling the
boundary dispute with Venezuela by pur-
chase of the disputed territory, and we
deemed the acquisition of that territory
dangerous to our peace or safety, under
this doctrine, we should be obliged to
fight both England and Venezuela; Eng
land for buying and Venezuela for selling.
If the Congress Of the United States is
going to commit the country to the policy
outlined in this resolution, it ought to take
measures Immediately to greatly increase
our navy and also to establish large
standing army. If we are going to main
tain the doctrine here formulated, we
must have something to do it with; we
must have ships and troops. Portland
