In discussing the moving OF the cot

exchanged some interesting remarks
about cash and credit
Il want to say" said the Atlanta
banker, that when il comes to hand

case more than once that there was
plenty of credit and not enough cash. "
But you can't get cash without
credit" said Mr.. McAdoo. Credit is
just as necessary as cash in the tnans-
action"
That's perfectly true. but in our
case we have always had the credit

Atlanta committee in the reception Of
Secretaries McAdoo and Houston.
Both Secretary McAdoo and Secre-
tary Houston smiled and shook their
heads when they were questioned.
Both stated that it would be mad
visable for any member of the Federal
committee to discuss the regional
bank situation and that they felt the
best interests of the public would be
better served by their silence on the
present trip.
Former United States Senator
Newell Sanders, as chairman of the
Chattanooga delegation, said
Il am too old a politician to do my
talking beforehand, However. l will
say that we have an unanswerable
argument, and we are confident of
getting the bank for our city"

Once started. the hearings before
the national committee will proceed
with a military regularity. With the
single exception Of a request that
the visiting cities delegations be
permitted to speak first, the Atlanta
committee has not assumed to make
any suggestions, it being understood
that the national board would regu-
late things to suit itself
T. c. Dunlap, of Atlanta, national
bank examiner, was appointed by the
Government to make all the ar
rangements for the Atlanta hearing.
So far there has been no talk of

Mr. Orr dwelt at considers bic
length on the high average of colIec-
lions in Atlanta and submitted figures
from his own business TO show that
here was no month which could be
regarded as an "ebb" month in this
respect.
Subsequent speakers said Mr..
Orr, will go deeper into the trade,
banking, farming and manufacturing
interests of this district and will show
hat Atlanta is the center of all the
activity in az directions and is, there
fore, the logical site for the bank de-
signed to serve the southeastern dis
trict.''
Questions Readily Answered.
Secretary McAdoo questioned Mr.
orr closely and found him ready with
satisfactory answers. II was brought
out that the seven States did an AK
gregate business OF S145, 900. 900 year
and that this was added to by manu-
facturers' agents in the territory who
brought the total up to 5000, 10000.
McAdoo had many questions as to the
preponderance Of trade which Atlanta
enjoys in the Southeast.
The Atlanta committee. when Z
was unable to produce exact figures
for the whole seven States, told the
visiting commission that within a
brief time they would have prepared
a table showing the aggregate bust
ness of the entire seven States, to-
gether with the proportion of this
business that Atlanta gets.
