Doesn't Expect Resistance.

Secretary McAdoo declared tonight
he did not look for any serious resist
ance by the banks to the new policy.
If any bank was disposed to surrender
it's account because of the order he
said, there were many others willing
to take it up.
The . per cent interest charge will
be based on the average monthly bal
ances Of the governments account in
each depositary. payable on January
/ and July Of each year. The $4,000, .
900 ordered to-day to be transferred
from the Treasury vaults to the ma
tional banks will be distributed over
the country.
The free balance in the general fund,
including money in the Philippine
treasury and in the national bank de-
positaries, amounted at the beginning
of business to-day to $141 ,O2j ,263. OF
this $72, 701 400, which will now be de-
creased by $10,OOO,OOO, constituted the
working balance of the government,
or money lying idle In tie vaults Of
the Treasury or sub-treasuries.
Treasury experts estimate that the
minimum on which the government can
transact its daily business is 15,0O0,-
900. and that a substantial part of the
working balance could with ease be de-
posited.

There are indications that Secretary
| McAdoo intends to release still more
/ surplus money from the Treasury
vaults ;nd place it in general circula-

night he said:
with the banks paying interest on

Mr.. McAdoo ais, announced a radi-
cal change in the character of securi-
ties which the Treasury Department
would accept for government deposits.
Instead Of requiring that the national
banks secure Treasury deposits ex-
clusively with United States or provin-
cial government bonds they will be al
lowed in future to secure 20 per cent
with government bonds and the re-
naming 80 per cent with high class

This is the first time in history that

Active depositaries are those which
conduct a checking account for the
