From The Trlhune Rureau-

lFrom The Tribune Bureau
Washington, Nov. 13.-The President may
urge the establishment of a postal savings bank
system in the message he will send to Con-
gress. 1t was said by visitors at the White
House to-day that he was seriously considering
the question and had about come to the con-
clusion that a postal bank. would lessen In a
great measure the danger of a recurrence of
money sqUeezes'' like the one now depressing
the country. Instead of placing their money
IN safe deposit boxes or hiding it away in old
stockings, as is being done. they would,
the President believes. put it in the postal saw
ings banks and thus keep it in circulation
The Postmaster General assures me that
there is approximately S1.JO0OOO,O00 of money
salted away in the safe deposit vaults and in
private hiding places" said Senator Bourne. of
Oregon who was one Of the White House callers
to-day "If there was a postal savings bank
system in operation at least $5OoOo0,OO0 of this
enormous amount would be deposited in those
banks to draw interest for its owners and to
be kept in circulation by the government to
prevent such periodical shortages of cash as
