be drawn into the larger financial cen ters and used in stock manipulation, and that the government will be a heavy loser in the end through the failure of the banks which have pos tai deposit funds for which the gov ernmeut must stand responsible.
 The first objections to the bill do not seem valid, as the postal savings banks win undoubtedly put into circu- Iatlou much money that is now hoard ed in secret hiding places and as the banks will ultimately have the use of this money at a low rate of interest, 1t seems obvious that both the banks and the general financial condition of the country will be helped rather than hurt by postal savings banks. As for the bill being paternalism that hardly constitutes a fair or logical ob- jection. The tendency of the times is verging towards paternalism.
 There seems, however, to be some substantiation in the objections made by Senator Hepburn. As the bill was originally drawn the disposal of the funds secured by che postal deposit
