AMBASSADOR WHITE
NOT TO RETURN TO FRANCE
His Departure Next Month Is KeenIy
Regretted.

Paris, Oct. 5.-Henry White. the
American ambassador to France. has
obtained a leave of absence and. ac-
companied bv Mrs. White. will sail
november for the United States, not
to return.
Ambassador Whites recall after a
long and distinguished career in the
diplomatic service was rumored here
for months and was the subject of the
keenest regret. Few foreign repre-
sentatives- in recent years enjoyed to
the same extent as Mr.. White the con-
fidence of the French government. and
such papers as the Figaro and TEMPS
went to the unusual length of print
ing long editorials, which. it is be-
heved, were inspired by the foreign
office, expressing the hope that the re-
ports would turn out to be incorrect
In the meantime Ambassador White
entertained no Illusions In accord
ance with diplomatic traditions, he
placed his resignation at the disposal
of President Taft upon the advent of
the new administration. and the pres
1dent accepted it. to take effect jan
uary ] next. AS no official announce
ment followed either Mr.. Whites res
lgnation or the prospective appoint
ment of Robert Bacon, ex- secretary Of
state, who, II is well understood here,
will be his successor. Ambassador
White was left in a rather equivocal
situation and now has decided. in or
der to prevent further embarrassment
to himself as well as to Mr. Bacon, to
withdraw sooner than arranged. He
will take no official leave of the gov
erEment officials and his diplomatic
colleagues before his depar ture. and
probably will not return to present his
letter of recall leaving that to Mr..
Bacon in accordance with numerous
precedents.
While retaining his legal residence
In Rhode Island Mr.. White will open
\ hcuseat Washington and will spend
the winter there. It is understood
that Mr. Bacon has arranged to take
,yer the present ambassadors resi-
1ence in Paris.
Socially, the Whites will be great
Y missed here, as they entertained ex-
ensively and were very popular in d.
,lomatic and the highest French and |
American society circles

How the Business Man Is 20 Benef;t
For the single purpose of this pro-
Jecteu pank would be the safeguard
OF the business interests of the peo-
pie in their private relations. If there
were need for more money for bust
ness purposes the bank would SUD-
ply 1t by notes, and if there were a
plethora, in dull times these notes
would be withdrawn rapidly. Govern
mental assistance to the institution
would be limited to the deposit with
the central bank OF all government
FUNDS now in the national banks. The
existing banks. it is hoped. would And
their compensation for the loss of
these funds in being relieved from
their present burden of carrying the
whole weight OF responsibility for in
creases in their circulating medium
and in the fact that the central in
stltution would not receive deposits
from individuals.
The question as to how the business
man is to benefit by a central bank is
sought to be answered by the fact
that the project included a provision
for the acceptance of good commercial
paper as basis for the issue of mon
fy. Such paper would represent ac-
tual transactions between solvent con-
cerns-all short time credit-and
would be sure to be redeemed when
ever the transaction was concluded.
There would be a reasonable coin
reserve to maintain equilibrium.
That this plan will meet with pro-
longed opposition when laid before
congress cannot be doubted. although
the administration desires to have the
matter regarded as non-political.
New Alignment in Congress.
At the last bankers convention-in
Chicago, many of the bank officers re-
garded the measure as the opening
wedge for the destruction of the most
lucrative portion of their business. and
viewed with disfavor the plan where
by the government bank was to en-
ter into competition for the enormous
discount operations, which gave them
very great influence in the industries
Of the country. Possibly their obiec-
tons. can,- in measure, be weakened
by a recourse to some other means Of

"A bank Of the people and for the

stitution made by George III. Rey-

Bankers, association, in his Chicago
speech. He pointed out that the peo-
pie were to be the stockholders, for
anyone would be privileged to buy the
bank stock Just az he might a govern
ment bond. small interest on such
an investment would be guaranteed
by the government; any earnings
more than sufficient to pay the guar
anteed interest would be shared by the
government and by the stockholders.
Political control of the great bank
would be made at least extremely diff
ficult by the life appointment Of the
ofncers. Integrity in operation would
be assured by a board OF supervis-
ors. appointed by the president the
secretary of the treasury and the
comptroller Of the currency (subject

to bridge over political mutations. |
