EXPECT THE MESSAGE
TO BOOST POSTAL BANK

Chicago. Nov. 25.--What may be ex
pected 10 happen 70 the Republican
members Of Congress who come up for
reelection next year in case the tart
platform pledge for postal savings
depository system should not be kept,
is indicated by letters received by the
Postal Savings Bank league at its Chi
cagO headquarters and editorial COM
ment sent In by editors both east and
west At the same time reports from
Washington confirm the expectation
that Senator Aldrich and the coterie
that put the tariff bill through have
their plans laid to smother the Carter
postal bank bill or any substitute. to
talk il to death or sidetrack II as their
expediency may rSquire.
II Is known that President Taft in
his next message win vigorously adj
vocate the postal bank plan. both in
fulfillment OF Republican party pledg-
cs and from unequiVocal faith In the
measure as stimulus to the thrift OF
tina nation. Former Senator w T..
Mason. one OF the executive commit
tee of the Postal Bank League, went
to Washington to confer with Presi-
dent Taft on this matter and was as
sured that the administration efforts for
enactment OF the Carter bill viii be
vigorous. But the dictum Of the hostile
banking interests as yet has not stirred
the public 10 make an equally deter
mined stand Tor tine postal bank
measure.
The public is growing and growing
increasingly angsred over the recent
tariff revision fiasco but II Is too late.
In this other great question of postal
savings banks there Is every oppor-
tunity to prevent a repetition OF such
bold defiance Of public wishes But
people need 10 wake up soon and
mobilize for systematic work" This
Is warning issued In a bulletin Of
the Postal savings Bank league BY
George II. Currier. chairman OF the ex-
ecutive committee. I'VE ara doing
what we cam he continues. but any
campaign involves expenses, requires
active workers and must be systematic.
