Washington, July 31-Twenty five
to $50,000,000 of government funds
will be deposited in the National
banks of the South and West at once
by Sec. McAdoo to facilitate the
movement of crops. Federal, state
and municipal bonds and prime col
lateral paper will be accepted as Sc
eurity for the money, upon which the
banks will pay per cent. interest.
The motive of Sec. McAdoo in estab-
fishing this new policy is to antici-
pate the money stringency in the late
summer and fall which invariably ac-
companies the marketing and move
ment of crops, especially when the
crops are unusually large as the
harvest now beginning forecasts. He
intends to take time by the forelock
and prevent or minimize the usual
tghtness of money.
In statement, tonight, the secretary
made the significant announcement that
government bonds would be accepted at
par as security for the new deposits and
that the additional money would be pac-
ed only with banks which have taken out
at least 40 per cent. of their authorized
circulation.
The United States 2 per cent bonds,
serving as security for most of the ma
tional bank circulation, have been de-
pressed recently to new low market rec
ords, dropping to 95a during the past few
days. The secretary's Willingness to ac-
eept these bonds at par as security for
the s25, 600 600 to 600 of promised de-
posits and the inducement to the national
banks to increase their circulation up to
the 40 per cent. limit is expected to help
in restoring the parity of the depressed
2's by creating a new market for them.
For the first time in history the govern
ment will accept prime commercial paper
as security for deposits. This privilege
will be granted, announced the secretary.
In order to make these special deposits
available to the banks on securities read
lily within their reach.
1.-The commercial paper submitted y
added Mr.. McAdoo. "shall first be passed
upon and approved by the Clearing House
committees of the cities in which the
banks offering such paper may be locat-
ed All commercial paper mad bonds
must finally be passed upon and accepted
by the secretary"
Approved commercial paper will be
accepted as security for the deposits
at 65 per cent. of it's face value and
high class state, municipal and other
bonds, exclusive of government bonds
at IS per cent. of their market value.
The additional deposits will be
placed with the national banks in the
TWO or three principal cities in each
of the states where harvesting is now
in progress and where the demand for
money for moving the crops most
conveniently can be met. The secre-
tary said it would not be practicabla
to scatter the deposits among the
smaller cities, especially in view Of
the character of securities necessary
The banks will be required to turn
the money to the public treasury
when the crops have been moved
The present suggestion is, Mr.. Me-
Adoo said, that Is per cent be repaid
in December; 80 per cent. in January:
30 per cent. in February and 25 per
cent. in March next.
Steps are now being taken to car
ry out the plan.' added the secretary,

| so that the funds may be promptly
available for the movement ol the
crops.'
The names of the banks to reeeiVe
the deposits and other details OF the
arrangement will be announced iater.
THIS new policy is the antithesls oil
that adopted by Former Secretary oi
the TFeasu MacNeagh. who, a year
ago, declined to make government ae-
pests to lelievc the tight money mar
ket, on the ground that the moderate
surplus of the federal funds at that
time should be held as reserve TO DE
utilized at some possible critical stage.
With the net balance in the general
fund. today, amounting to nearly Sloz'-
600, 000, Sec. McAdoo has taken the
stand that the government shouiu an
tieipate the situation by placing oe-
posits where and al the time they are
needed.
If the full s5O,0Oo,0OO is deposited, this
step will temporarily nearly douple the
governments deposits with the banks,
which at the present time hold $5sooo'ooo
of federal bonds.
Just as Sec. McAdoo was announcing
his plan, Senator Tillman of South caro-
lima was issuing a statement declaring
that unless Congress acted quickly 10
provide an emergency currency the cot
ton planters of the South would lose u
hundred million dollars through inability
to get money to move their crops.
Senator Tillman urged that some
kind of resolution be put through I'M
mediately to afford temporary reiiei'
and that the House banking ana eur
rency committee Stop squabpllng
and allow permanent currency legis-
lation to be enacted. The senator eX-
pressed the hope that the COMMITTEES
would work out a practical schefne 10
inspire confidence in the business peo-
pie of the country so that they Woul"
lend money to the banks at per cent.
on satisfactory collateral.
Secretary MeAdoo is we'll informed as
to the business conditions of the United
States and l am willing to leave 1t to ms
good Judgment as TO what collateral snail
be required" said the senator. "Rlght
now there is an emergency, and unless
Congress acts promptly within the next
60 days the Southern cotton planters will
be robbed of hundred million dollars
cipal crop, due to the inability on the
part of the Southern banks to get money
from New York at any price or at any
collateral The New Workers have our
people by the throat as they have had
them all these years since the war; ana
only Congress can give relief.
The Aldrich-Vreela act. which
authorized the printing of the five
hundred million dollars now lying in
the treasury. grants no relief at all
to our people because of the condi-
tions imposed. Relief can be extend
ed only through association of banks
in regional groups. If something is
not done / see no way of saving the
people of the South from great loss,
unless the banks take the law into
their own hands, as they did, in 1907,
and form Clearing House Associations
and issue certificates as they had to
do then. /, for one, am tired of being
held up and robbed by the New York
pirates, who appear willing to seut-
tie the ship rather than lose their
grip on the farmers of the country.
