TORN BASIS FOR BANK NOTES
PROCEEDS ARE 70 be PLACED
WHERE MONEY IS NEEDED
TO MOVE CROPS.

Washington, Nov. 10. - Secretary
Cortelyou last night made the impor
tant announcement that as a measure
of affording relief to the financial sit
uation, the treasury would issue 500,
100000 of Panama bonds, and 500,
100000 certificates of Indebtedness,
or SO much thereof as may be neces'
sary. The certificates will run for one
year and will bear 8 per CEN interest.
The secretary's action in coming to
the relief of the financial situation
meets with President Roosevelt's
hearty approval.
Afford Substantial Relief.
Secretary Cortelyou says that the
Panama bonds will afford most sub
stantial relief, as the law provides
that they may be used as a basis for
additional national bank circulation.
He also states that the proceeds from
the sale of certificates can be made di.
rectly available at points where the
need is most urgent and especially
for the movement of the crops, which
he says, IF properly accelerated will
give the greatest relief and result In
the most Immediate financial returns
The secretary calls attention to the
attractiveness of the bonds and certif-
Gates as absolutely safe investments.
Congress Will Act.
Secretary Cortelyou adds that these
relief measures will enable him to
meet public expenditures without
withdrawing for that purpose any ap'
probable amount of the public mon.
eys now deposited in the national
banks throughout the country.
In his letter to Secretary Cortelyou,
approving the treasury plans. Presi-
dent Roosevelt states that he has been
assured that the leaders in congress
have under consideration a currency
measure (which will meet in perma.
nent fashion the needs of the situa.
ton, and which l believe will be pass.
ed at IN early date after congress
convenes two weeks hence"
Conditions Are Sound.
The president also calls attention
to what is needed most at this time
that the people should realize how
fundamentally sound business condi.
tons in this country are. and how alb
surd it is to permit themselves to get
into a panic and create a stringency
by boarding their savings instead Of
trusting perfectly sound banks"

SEEK TO CONSERVE RESOURCES
President Calls Conference Of Gov
ernors to Discuss Matter.


ernors to Discuss Matter.
Washington, Nov. 10. - President
Roosevelt has invited the governors
of the states and territories to meet
him at the White House May Is, IA
and Is next to discuss the question Of
means to conserve the natural re
sources Of the country. Invitations
are to be extended to the members
Of both houses of congress and to the
inland waterways commission. The
Importance and manner in which the
subject is to be considered are indi,
Gated in the presidents letter to the
governors, which was made public at
the White House yesterday.
Are Becoming Depleted.
The president says in part:
1T Is evident that the abundant nat
ural resources, on which the welfare
Of this nation rests, are becoming de-
pleted, and, in not a few cases, are al
ready exhausted. This is true Of all
portions of the United States; it is
especially true of the longer settled
communities of the East. The gravi-
ty of the situation must, l believe, ap-
peal with special force to the govern
ors of the states, because of their
close relations to the people and their
responsibility for the welfare of their
communities.
Vital to the Nation.
"The matters to be considered at
this conference are not confined to
any region or group of states, but are
vital to the nation as a whole and to
all the people. Those subjects in
clude the use and conservation Of the
mineral resources, the of
the land and the of the wa
tiers in every part of our territory.
IN order to open discussion, I shall
invite a few recognized authorities to
present brief descriptions Of actual
facts and conditions, without argu-
ment, leaving the conference to deal
with each topic as it may elect.
A Weiehty Question.
"Facts, which l cannot gainsay,
force me to believe that the conserva-
ton of our natural resources is the
most weighty question before the peo-
pie of the United States. II this is
SO, the proposed conference, which Is
the first Of it's kind, will be among the
most important gatherings in u :'is-
tory in it's effect upon the welfare of
all our people"
