POSTAL SAYINGS IN OTHER LANDS

The United States Is now proceeding in
a tentative and cautious way to test a
new method of caring for the savings OF
its people through the medium Of postal
savings banks. Doubtless a large pro-
portion of our citizens. strong in the
belief that their country leads all others
ideas, suppose the world Is waiting for
the result of our experiment But m this
respect most Of the civilized nations and
their colonies have been SO long using
postal machinery for this purpose that
the practice has become an ingrained
part of their economic policy. The Ma
tional Monetary Commission has been as
sembling a series Of comprehensive and
exhaustive reports on the postal savings
bank systems Of the leading countries
and it is ready for distribution as Senate
document, No. 6SS
The surprise of this revelation Is not
that few countries have preceded US
in this undertaking, but that It Is 80
world. Christian and pagan. Not Only in
Europe, but in Asia, Africa, America. and
the islands of the sea. That It Is popular
Is evident from the fact that only in two
places where the institution has been
once established. has 1t been discOntin-
ued. These are Victoria and Hawaii, yet
under some governments 1t has been in
operation for nearly half a century. The
United Kingdom was the first to make
the venture The law authorizing 1t was
passed in 1851. and It went into effect
three or four months later.
The results have been interesting. From
1851 TO 1896 the reports showed an actual
net profit every year. For the four years
following there was q net loss Again in
1900. 1901. and lsoe the income was great
er than the expenditure. bVt from the
latter year there has been o steady de-
ncit. averaging more than half mill
Hon dollars annually. caused by the re-
ductton Of the rate Of interest In Brit

Of interest with which the system was
inaugurated, coupled with practically alb
solute safety, has encouraged people of
means to use It as far as the limit would
permit. For more than twenty years 4
per cent was paid, but since 1889 the rate
has been reduced twice. first to 81 per
cent and then to 8. The chartered banks
have had to conform closely to the in
