in the early days of it has this country witnessed such cooperation between the government and the banks or such com plete subordination of political or partisan feeling as has been the case since it was found expedient as matter of precau- ton to close the stock exchanges of the country
 There was, in 1898, fine demonstration of the willingness of the American people in time of great emergency to put partis- anship behind them and to cooperate with the administration at Washington for protective and defensive measures. Congress, after a personal statement by President Mckinley to the leaders of the Senate and the House of what the em- barrassment of the government was, just before the war with spain began voted an appropriation of $50,000,000 without any limitations, the whole amount to be ex- pended in the discretion of the President. That was the largest direct appropriation containing no other specifications than that it was placed at the disposal of the chief executive that any civilized nation has made in modern tmes.
 Cooperation and mobilization such as have been in progress since the New York stock exchange closed to prevent the wholesale dumping of securities upon the United States has been of two kinds; First the appropriate representatives ol the administration and representative bankers were brought together with the speed of the telegraph and the railway trains. There were conferences at Wash- ington and later in New York city, The first, although not the only. purpose of these conferences was the utilization as speedily as possible of the stupendous re- sources which are in the so-called All drich-v -vreeland emergency currency act These resources, if utilized to the limit would make available s500,O0o,000 of cur

Cooperation of Another Kind

While Secretary McAdoo and others some of whom are to be members of the federal reserve board-were in consuta- ton with bankers. another plan for CO., operation was under earnest discussion Some of the bankers who took part in the council with Secretary McAdoo were also in consultation with those who were contemplating the second co-operatiye move. This was the expediency of issu- ing clearing house certificates.
 In all probability, had the new national banking law been in operation if would not have been deemed necessary to con slider clearing house assistance of this kind. The clearing house certificates rep resent locally and in a limited way pre- cisely what the emergency currency is- sued by the government to the banks will represent. The national currency. how ever, can be utilized anywhere in the United States. The clearing house certi- ficates are available only in the com munities in which they are issued. If is true that in the panic of 1907 in one or two parts of the country clearing house cer- tificates did get into general circulation. But this was not a general practice, and the belief has always been entertained that 1t was really in violation of tbe Ia "

The General Result


 spirit of cooperation and is so spoken of in this city. The banks and those who represented the administration at Wash ington were in perfect accord, although there was considerable discussion respect ing some details. But it was not hostile criticism; it took the form of counsel and was based upon the experience of the bankers
 The action illustrates the confidence both of bankers and of the government in the inherent value of American securities and of the great resources which these se- | curities are based upon. When this emer- l gency act was under consideration by | Congress it was commonly thought, both | in Washin gton and in this city that no emergency was likely to arise which would l make it necessary to take advantage of 1 .he aid which the emergency currency | gave. It was often said that the moral | influence of this legislation was sufficient For if those engaged in industries and merchants were certain that in case emer- gehcy arose the government had the power to furnish s5O0000, 900 in currency, then the chances were that there would 1 be no emergency: if the business world knew that abundant funds could at any time be provided then there would be apprehension that funds would be needed.
 But the colossal spirit of war, the Understandable influence which has been of sudden created in Europe. was not in the minds of those who prepared the emergency currency law and, of | course. not in the minds of the business world. although some of the leading men of finance have kept in the backs of their heads a suspicion that at any time the long predicted struggle upon the con- l tipent of Europe might begin

rency behind which stand the credit and faith of the United States government.
 But this is not the only quality of strength that is infused into this emer- Sency currency, whenever it is issued. It represents investment, property, re- sources, which are considered as capital and which in normal times are of un- questioned value. In order to make the utilization of this emergency currency the more speedily available both bankers and the Secretary of the Treasury Mr. Me Adoo. with the presumed support of Con eress behind him, were agreed that cer- tain embarrassing features of the act might be eliminated in the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury.
 That would make it possible for the banks to deposit high grade security of recognized value other than government bonds in exchange for issues of emer- gencV currency
