controversies not susceptible to direct
negotiation be submitted to the court
Of arbitrator at The Hague orsto other
tribunals which Il may be faund advis-
able to create. We have heard too
much about national honor and vital
interests and hair splitting distinc-

ticiable disputes. Are we not trying to
conceal q hankering after war and pill
lage every time we use one Of these
vague and indennable terms. There are
no unarbitral controversies in our day

He said that when the present ad.

Washington, May e. K. Camp
bell, of Birmingham, Ala. for many
years political manager for Represen-
tative Oscar Underwood. has been Sc
lected by President Wilson for Judge
in the United States court Of claims.
His nomination was expected to so to
the senate today.
When Campbelrs name was first
mentioned for the judgeship it was
pointed out by some Alabama demo-
Gratis he had opposed instructing the
delegation to the Baltimore convention
to vote for Wilson in the event that
Underwood could not be nominated.
The selection Of Mr.. Campbell for
the judgeship probably means the ele-.
walton of Judge Charles B. Howry, OF
Oxford. Miss, to be chief justice OF the
court Of claims. His nomination also
was scheduled for today.

BANKS MUST PAY INTEREST.

Secretary MeAdeo Maiss Radical
Changes in Banking Systsm.
Washington. May 1.-The fiscal sys-
tenn OF the United States governing
deposits Of federal funds in national
banks, was revolutionized yesterday by
Secretary McAdoo Of the treasury de-
partment, with an announcement that
all government depositaries, whether
active or Inactive. would be required to
pay interest at the rate of 2 per cent
per annum. beginning June l, upon de-
posits of the government.
simultaneously with this action the
secretary authorized an immediate In
crease OF $1O,OO0.O0O in government de-
posts in the national bank. making
the total 352,649,s64 from which the
federal treasury will earn, under the
new interest order. S1.053, 900 annually.
There are Indications that Secretary
McAdoo intends to release still more
surplus money from the treasury vaults
and place it in general circulation thru
increased deposits with the national
banks
More Money in Circulation.
In statement last night he said:
with the banks paying interest on
government deposits, the secretary
may be Justified in keeping larger ball
a2ces in the national banks, thereby
culation and to that extent reducing
the amount locked up In the treasury"
Mr.. McAdoo also announced a rad
ical change In the character Of securl-
ties which the treasury department
90, a. ff-
Instead of requiring that national
banks secure treasury deposits exclu-
sively with United States or provincial
government bonds. they will be allowed
in future to secure ~ per cent with
government bonds and the remaining
80 per cent with high class state. city
and county bonds, acceptable to the
secretary of the treasury, to be taken
as security at 10 per cent OF their mar
ket value. but not to exceed par.
This is the first time in history that
the treasury department has called up
on the banks to pay interest on what
are known as active deposits, or ac-
cepted, except in periods of financial
stress. security other than government
bonds. Active deposltaries are those
which conduct checking account for
the government, cashing checks of the
disbursing officers and replenishing
their authorized government deposits
from customs and internal revenue re-
ceipts deposited with them. There are
900 inactive depositaries each holding
81 900 of government funds. Upon
these deposits. which are not disturbed
by checking accounts, the government
I,os drawn Q oer cent interest for the
past five years. These are the only
government accounts which evef~have
earned interest.
