AMERICAN INTERESTS IN
MANCHURIA.

There is no occasion whatever for dis
quiet on this side of the water over the
rumors of Russian objections in the far
East to our new commercial treaty with
China. AS pointed out by the officials in
Washington, the source of these rumors
cannot be regarded as reliable, and the fact
that the Russian government was courte-
ously informed of the terms of the treaty
before it was signed and made no objec-
assent to 1t unless some overt act on the
part of Russian officials should demonstrate
their disposition to interfere with its terms.
And, while there is no likelihood of that,
the American government is amply able to
take care of it's interests in such an event.
Russia is not in a situation just now to
court powerful enemies. She has done a
very bold thing in grabbing political con-
troll of Manchuria, thing that may yet
draw her into a quarrel with Japan and
Great Britain, while, in another quarter of
the world, the Balkans, her situation is
delicate to say the least. AS a nation. it
matters little to us who controls the civil
and military administration of Manchuria,
so long as our treaty rights in the terri
tory are not interfered with. But, should
such interference be attempted. the Amer
lean people would have no hesitation what
ever about enforcing them in such a way
as would forever settle the question of our
status in the Orient. We are not there for
recreation or for health, but for business,
and are not asking the permission of any
European power 10 stay there. 1t is not
a question of allies combinations against
Russia or any other power. There would
be no thought of entangling alliances of
any kind. With our base in 'the Philip
pines and competent navy. We are amply
able to take care of our own on the other
side of the Pacific as against any power
with which we may come in conflict

BANKERS AND CURRENCY.

That is a most surprising recommended
ton regarding emergency currency" made
by the currency committee of the American
Bankers Association, now in session at San
Francisco. This paragraph of the commit
tees report reads as follows:
Emergency currency could, within careful
limitations. be safely permitted upon the
actual deposit with the Treasury Depart
ment OF securities acceptable to the secre-
posits circulation could be issued promptly
to meet actual emergencies, which would
not be possible IL time were taken for the
examination of general assets by the Sec
rotary of the treasury and controller of the
currency. A tax of per cent. per annum
should be imposed upon such emergency
circulation 10 insure and hasten its return
aside as n safety fund to secure the
United States treasury for the REDEMPTION
of notes so issued. This emergency circula-
ton should be issued without any distin-
gushing mark from other national bank cir
culation except 10 substitute the words '.se-
cured by bonds approved by the secretary
OF the treasury" instead OF the words
bonds OF the United States" for. being
amply secured, there should be no discrim-
nation against 1t beyond the 6 per cent
tax.
IL this paragraph means anything, it
means permission to banks to issue this
sort OF currency at the discretion OF the
secretary of the treasury. giving that Of
ficer the power TO say what bonds shall and
what shall not be acceptable as collateral

preciate what a tremendous responsibility
this would place upon the secretary Of the
treasury. or what opportunities there would
be for disastrous mistakes Of judgment.
Let US suppose, for example. that bonds OF
the United States Steel Corporation had
been admitted to the list-and it requires
no great stretch of imagination to sup
pose this. for it has not been a year since
many OF our greatest financiers regarded
them as gilt-edge-what would be the re-
suit? The whole volume of the currency
would be tainted in the popular mind, and
this would mean a panic Of the very worst
kind. Since the new notes would have
practically no disting lishing marks, bank
would retire them. as now merely by de-
posting lawful money against them and
the actual paper would remain in circula-
ton until worn out. The average man
would not stop to consider what was be-
hind any particular note; If one were weak,
all would be weak, so far as his faith in
them was concerned.
Moreover, heavy tax is not the scientific
way OF driving in currency for redemption.
The way to do that is by making the re-
deeming bank pay all the expenses of re-
demption, including transportation, and the
notes will flow in fast enough when the
need for them is past-if banking is con-
servatively carried on. Such a currency
should be taxed; but the purpose of this
tax should be for providing a safety or
guaranty fund, If permission to issue such
flexible circulation were TO be given at ALL
But is any such permission necessary?
Would it's results be healthy? Everybody
understands that our present furry is due
solely to overloaning in New York. leading
to sundry speculative ventures that had
better never been born. Are the banks of
the country conservative enough to handle
to the best advantage power to initiate the
currency? Probably the best answer to
graph of this same report by this same
committee of bankers. as follows:
There is at present more real money in
the United States than at any previous
period in our history. Taking the coun-
try altogether, there is no scarcity OF
money, including United States and ma
| tional bank notes, to meet any legitimate
demands of business. Compared with Sept.
/ a year ago the national banking circula-
| ton has increased $50, So, 55l The circula-
ton per capita is $3.50, compared with
$2S.55 Sept. 1, 1902.
Had the committee let the whole currency
proposition go at that it would have earned
reputation for sound common sense.
