Frightening prospects for the pos

In the hmengnt during the next ses-
sion of Congress are seen in the In

Whether we get the necessary
legislation is going to depend very
largely upon the attitude OF the south
and west declared Senator Foster.
New England for instance, has
ample saving banks facilities. And
doubt very much whether postal
savings bank would be patronized
here in New England, in fact, am
firmly of the opinion that 1t would
not be patronized by our people to
any extent. Our savings institutions
are conservative, they are well man
aged; they pay as rule four per
cent. On the other hand the west and
south have not, suppose, the savings
bank facilities that we enjoy. If they
unite in favor of the necessary ;eg-
islation We shall get 1t. 1t seems to
me that such a bank would be Of
special advantage In our large cities
where we have so many foreign born
people. In my judgment they would
patronize the governments savings
