"TvERY civilized nation WIN
X sooner or later possess par
IL GELS post" wrote ]. Hennikel
Heaton, member of the Brit
ish parliament, few years ago. Well
the United States shows signs of be.
coming civilized nation, according to
that standard. Postmaster General
George Won Lengerke Meyer in his an.
nual report to the president strongly
recommends the establishment Of such
an Institution. President Roosevelt In
his annual message to congress sec
onds the motion. But Z stu stronger
Recommendation made BY MI. Meyer
and seconded by Mr.. Roosevelt be that
q system OF postal savings banks be
instituted. The new postmaster gem
eral, who was described in some quar-
tiers when he took Office last March as
"a society fop.r seems to be trying to
get things done. While the postal saw
tngs bank system and the parcels post
are by no means new notions, no pre-
vious postmaster general has urged
them with such emphasis.
The recommendation for postal saw
dngs banks comes In what might be
called the nick Of timex The financial
stringency, otherwise the lack Of cold
cash in circulation, Is due in large
measure to the boarding Of money by
persons who are afraid to trust 1t to
the banks. Mr.. Bryan,s proposition to
have the national government guaran-
tee the safety Of hank deposits as
preventive OF boarding Is really,
though perhaps unconsciously, reiter-
ated by Mr.. Meyer In his recommends
don that the people be permitted to
deposit their money in postofices. The
