ACCUSES BANKS OF
ATTACKING BONDS
Secretary of the Treasury Asserts New
York Banks Are Campaigning to
Defeat CurrencN Bill.

Washington, D. c., July 29.-Secre-
tary McAdoo. Of the treasury depart
ment. has issued a statement fatty de-
ciar1ng that the decline of the govern
ment two percent bonds to 955k-a new
low recOrd-Was due almost wholly
to what appeared to be a campaign
WaSed with every indication of con-
certed action on the part of a number
OF influential New York city banks to
cause apprehension and uneasiness
about these bonds in order to help them
bill"
Banks throughout the country own
almost entirely 3O,SS2,13O of the two
percent bonds. Their market value
now is approximately $50, 900, 600 lower
than when the banks bought them AL
most all the entire issue is used as
security for national bank notes.
Secretary McAdoo announced it was
not his intention to require the banks
to charge off the present depreciation
below par, but that the banks might
continue to put in the bonds at par in
their statements to the controller of
the currency at least until some ma
terial change in conditions should com
pei the adoption of another course"
In his statement secretary McAdoo
declared the two percents were worth
par Notwithstanding their decline in
the New York market.
The idea seems to be that the
country banks which hold about two
thirds of the two percent bonds and use
them as the basis for their circulating
notes, may be induced to unite with
the New York city banks in Opposi-
ton to the bill if they can be made to
believed that the proposed currency
measure is going to injure these bonds
and cause losses to the banks This
is of course, unfounded.
Meantime, it is folly for any bank
TO sell government two percent's at
sacrifice on account of any adverse
legislation. In the 124 years of its
existence the government has kept
faith scrupulously with its credits and
character now. If the necessities of
any bank Oblige it to sell bonds at de-
pressed prices. that. Of course, is
another matter-a matter solely for
the bank to determine"
