To NationaIizc War

The report of the senate appropria-
tiOnS committee on the fertilization
bill shows that an absolute change of
poGcy has taken place with regard TO
the manufacture of United states war
munitions. 1t seems as If war was
about 10 he natiOnaliZed and that an
end of private war scandals had been
made. The government will manu-
facture all but a small proportion OF
the powder and shrapnel which will
be paid for by the present apprOpria-
tions.
Undoubtedly the tendency viii be to
extend this policy much further than
the present appropriations affect the
general situation. The army and navy
generally have consented TO the Opin-
ion expressed in highly authoritative
quarters that the government can
manufacture ammunition cheaper
than il is being sold TO il az present
by private concerns. Secy. Daniels
has already got into the state Of mind
Of the boy who wanted the soap

ment.

Progressives I'm Congress.

The fact should not be lost sight Of
by progressives that they are repre-
scented in congress by Is members Of
the house and two senators who have
been faithful TO the principles of the
new party and who have worked in
season and out of season with the in
terests of the party in view.
These 20 congressman perfected an
organization and in the house voted
for Victor Murdoch as speaker. Since
that time they have introduced bills,
which, if enacted into law, would COW
ct every pledge in the platform of
the progressive party. In November
the congressional committee was or
ganized. and since opening headquart-
ers in January it has received reports
from nearly every state in the north
and from a number of southern states
showing a gratifying activity and en-
thuSiaSm and a determination to make
q straightOut fight in the congressional
campaign this year. Assurance is al
ready given that this fight for con-
gressmen and state legislatures will be
made in at least "a northern states
and three southern states with the
work of organization of the congress
sional committee but fairly started.
This group of congressman in
cludes representatives from California,
Kansas. Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, New York and Wash
ington and not only is able to do
much 10 promote party interests. but
is enthusiastically engaged in work.
As a first step it is urging that state
organizations be strengthened and
that progressive nominations be made
for congressman, state and leSisla-
tive tickets throughout the nation. 1t
is finding ready assent to its program,
a fact which testities to the spirit OF
confidence in the party.-Indianap

Banks and the New Currency Law.
Practically all the national banks
are to be members of the federal re-
serve associations. At the close of
business Jan. 81, the secretary of the
treasury had received formal appli-
cations from 5,765 national banks.
The total number of national banks IS
1909. Their aggregate capitalization
is $1,O59,402,9 and their surplus
amounts 70 S725,3O2,377, or a COM
bined capital and surplus of Sl,7S5,-
7O5,2S5. The time for making formal
application will expire Feb. %. The
law requires every national bank to
say whether or not it wishes to come
in. Fewer applications have been re-
ceived from state banks and trust
companies than was anticipated.
There are approximately 1900 state
banks and trust companies eligible,
but the provisions of the law in re-
gard TO capital have been found
rather enOrous when applied 10 trust
