u'lDo0 MAKES STATEMENT.
WARNS BANKS IN LENDING OF
EMERGENCY CURRENCY.
Must not Charge Excessive Rates OF
Intcrst-Tclls Cotton Growers That
There II mo- Reason for Them to
Eear.

Washington. Sept. 21.--A warning
TO national banks which have receiv-
I'd government funds to aid crop NOV
ing or which have received emergency
currency not to charge excessive in
tsrest rates or to refuse Legitimate
, credits. was given tonight by Secre-
tary McAdoo In a formal statement
dealing with tho present situation in
the cotton growing States. The sec.
rotary declared he would not hesi-
tate To withdraw government deposits
from offending banks or to refuse to
issue emergency currency tn them.
Aside from this warning Mr.. Me-
Acoo announced there is no reason
for the cotton producer and manu-
facturer to feel pessimistic. He ex-
pressed the belief that there must
soon he an increased demand for cot
ton and added.
IF the banks. the merchants and
the manufacturers throughout the
South will quit taking counsel of fear
and will go forward with confidence
the situation will. believe, improve
still further
Complaints have been made to
me-" said the secretary's statement
that some of the national banks
which are receiving national bank
currency are charging excessive rates
of irterest on loans. as well as restrict
ing credits. I have ordered that q
careful investigation be made imme-
diateIy.
IF I discover depositary banks are
refusing to extend legitimate credits
or charging excessive rates of inter.
est for government funds deposited
with them, or for socalled emergency
currency Issued them. shall not hes
itatc TO withdraw government funds
from such banks and to refuse to issue
emergency currency to banks which ]
am convinced are not making use Of II
upon reasonable terms for the ben
ont OF the business community. This
applies not only To national banks In
tho cotton States. but In all other sec
tons of the country. 1t must be re-
membercd that the issuance Of this So
called emergency currency rests by
law solely within the discretion of the
secretary of the treasury. I shall not
Knowingly exercise that discretion In
favor of any bank or banks which fail
to make use OF II at reasonable rates
OF interest.
There Is no reason, In my opinion
for the pessimisin which prevails In
many quarters Of the South about cot
ton. Tho assistance which the fed.
erai government Is extending to the
banks. through the issuance Of ma.
tional bank currency against notes Sc.
cured by cotton warehouse receipts
has already greatly improved the sit.
uation."

STRENUOUS EFFORTS. TOENCOURAGETRADE IN SOUTH AMERICA. Financiers DevOting Much Attention to Story of This
 Important Problem LACK OF MARKET
 FIGURES HANDICAP P Enormous Business Can Be Done If America Can Arrange to Take
 South American Bonds In
 Payment
By HOLLAND

New York. September 17.-(Special)-If the financial tangle can be unraveled, the United States is likely soon to receive large orders from two at least of the South American nations These will take the form of contracts which when exe- cuted will be followed by the construc- tion of important public works Com merce of that kind would be distinguished from purchases by South American na- tions of American manufactured cominod- ities.
 The difficulty, however. is to arrange terms of payment. Chile, for instance. would be glad to execute contracts with those who represent two or three of the large American industries aggregating in amount several million dollars if it were possible for her to utilize her credit so as to obtain the money with which to pay the obligations thus created
 Probably within the past two or three weeks closer and more comprehensive study of the foreign obligations of South American nations has been in progress than has ever taken place in the offices of the leading American industries. The reason for this scrutiny lies in the fact that if the American industrial corpora tions would accept the bonds of the South American countries in payment for pur-

 chases and for execution of contracts then Chile, for instance, would speedily enter into contracts with American in dustry which in the aggregate might amount to as much as $5.000,000.
 But there is no way of learning what Chilean bonds may now be marketed for or whether in the next year or two they may command sale at par. Further more, if the Chilean bonds were good for instant conversion into cash upon a req sonable basis, then Chile would be able to negotiate these securities and in that way secure the cash or bills of exchange with which to pay the industries of the United States, with whom she is anxious to make large bargains. The war situa- tion has to this extent greatly affected the capacity of South American nations so to utilize their credit as to be able to make purchases especially in the United States, in large amounts.
 One of the Problems
 One of the problems which American men of finance and banks will be com pelled to solve as soon as the more press ing financial complications are satisfac- torily adjusted will be the working out of means whereby the South American nations can enter into trade upon large scale with the United States. Arrange ment of this kind should be so perfected as to make it possible to maintain perma- nently the financial relations between the United States and South America which
