fined to review of the achievements
of the treasury department in matters
to recommendations for increased ap-
propriations for bureaus under his au-
thority, and for legislation. which he
declares necessary to the better con-
duct of the government and the pro-
lection of the people.
The secretary discussed at some
length the subject of currency legis-
lation. reviewing the ac~vities in his
department related to it.
Mr., McAdoo details the treasurys
offer to loan to banks of the country
money to move the fall crops. The
! sum of $46.500,000 out of $4,000, 900
estimated to he needed, was apportion-
ed among the states.
1T was essential" SAYS the secre-
tary. that the action of the depart
ment should be bipartisan and non.
political: the crops of Republicans.
Other classes Of people had to be NOV
ed. and the earnest effort of the de.
partment was to have the benefits OF
this action diffused as widely and i'm
partially as possible"
After praising the psychological
value OF these. incidents, the report
continues:
They demonstrate clearly that any
Improvement in our financial system
which will permanently establish con.
fidence will in itself be an immense
gain. and If that improved financial
system assures the opportunity to Sc,
cure at all times the necessary funds
and credits to meet the expanding and
legitimate needs of the commerce and
industry of the country, it will be an
achievement of enduring benefit.
| These incidents also show conclu.
sively the enormous value of an al.
truistic government agency in the
financial affairs OF the country. So
long as the government has the DOW
