NEW UNITED
STATES TREASURER

Since III - re-p7+ resignation If

'easurer much
curiosity has been shown as to the
causes that led to the relinquish-
ment of so desirable a cost. Tho
resignation was accepted Carmi
Thomson, secretary Co the presi-
dent, has been appointed United
States treasurer.
While no reason is given for
McClUng's resignation. it is
thought to have grow out of the
fact that the treasurer had heen
far from energetic in securing
President Taft's denomination.
The secretary of the treasury it is
said, has not been at harmony with
the treasurer since the incident of
A. Platt Andrews reference TO Nc
Clung's antagonism toward Mr..
MacEeagh.
Lee McClung was appointed as
treasurer of the United States
Nov mber /, 1909. He had been
in close association with the presi
dent previously through his office as
treasurer of Yale university. Mr..
McClung is a director of the
Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance
Company, trustee of the Boy Scouts
of America and treasurer of the
American Association for Highway
Improvement.
The American Banker calls
attention to the fact that the re-
sign tiOn of Mr.. McClung means
that the money and securities for
which the treasurer is responsible
must be actually counted and re-
ceipted for. This will be the
greatest single financial transaction
in the history of the world. When
MIR. McClung assumed the duties of
treasurer he gave receipt to his
predecessor for 1920, ,l34. 946.
SS2 3. This was the largest single
transaction from man to man on
record. While the amount of the
treasurer's fund is not known. it is
expected that it will exceed those
figures by many millions.
1t will require probably three
months to count the money anC
securities, This creates remark.
