ABUSE Of CREDIT
IS PERIL, SAYS HILL
Declares Nation Is NaterIogged
With Bonds.
MEANS FINANCIAL DISTRESS
Tells Bankers in Chicago That Over
Issuance of Securities Is Fiscal
Debauch - VanderIip Sees
Danger in Currency Bill.

Chicago, Nov flames J. Hill, the
dean of the nations railroad builders,
told 80 financiers and men Of COM
MERGE Thursday that credit had been
abused the country is water
logged with bonds" and that eff the
present abuse Of credit continues an
abyss of possible suffering and fnan-
ciaI distress opens before US"
Mr.. Hill delivered his warning in an
address at the annual banquet Of the
Investment Bankers Association Of
America at the Congress hotel. At the
same gathering Frank a. Vanderlip,
president Of the National City bank OF
New York. deserving danger from an
other source, declared that the pass
age of the GIass-Owen bill in its pres
ent form would start the country on
the road to fat money" a possibility,
he said, that contains elements Of a
national disaster"
1t was to forestall such a move. Mr..
Vanderlip explained, that he had ad-
yOcated before the senate committee
on banking and currency the estab-
Iishment of a government managed
and publicly owned central bank to
issue notes.
Mr.. Hill characterized the over-issu-
ance of securities as a financial de-
bauch, but spared the railroads in his
arraignment The liquidating value Of
railroad property, he asserted. is so
far in excess of it's capitalization that
the margin Of safety is plainly in
view" It was on industrial promo
tiOns and on the extravaganza of states
and cities that he laid the burden of
his censure.
Formerly, he said, the limit Of a
bond issue was the value of the prop
erty as an asset for immediate con-
version by forced sale at any time into
cash. In days of soyerer financing,
an Industrial concern was capitalized
at somewhere near the actual amount
of cash put into the business.
Capital stocks he said. might legiti-
mately to some extent represent good
viii and earning power, but finding
bonds would sell where stocks would
not. the promoter began Issuing
bonds that, so far as security went.
were only stocks.
The attitude of the investment
bankers toward the Glass-Owen cur
rency bill was treated in a report of
the monetary commission, which rec
commended changes along the lines ap-
proved by the American Bankers as
Bociation. Salient features of the re-
port were:
Twelve federal reserve banks are
too many; the number should be re-
duced to not more than five.
The proposition that the governn-
ment should issue the currency of the
nation is a violation of a fundamental
principle of finance and economy.
Any currency issue should be the obli-
CATION of the banks
The provision that notes shall be re-
deemed in gold or lawful money should
be amended by striking out the words
''0r lawful money
The amount of reserves held against
federal reserve bank notes should be
so per cent, instead OF SO Is per cent.
