POSTAL SAVINGS
DEPOSITS INCREASE

The war in Euorpe is proving a
big boon to postal savings in this
country. From the very day HOSTILE
tiles opened across the seas postal
saving receipts begain to increase by
leaps and bounds and Withdrawals
fell off, result quite contrary to
the predictions of many well-in
formed persons who, in their i'm
agination, saw lines of feverish
depositors at post-office pay window
anxious to again return their saw
ings to the bootleg and body-belt
repositories whence they came be-
fore intrused to Uncle Sam. But
the forecasters failed to reckon on
the absolute confidnece of the
American citizen, regardless Of the
flag that first met his eyes, in the
abilities and purpose of Government
to carry out it's obilations, not only
among the nations of the earth,
but with the humblest citizen of our
land. Two important results have
followed; thousands of people, large
ly Of foreign birth, accustomed to
send their savings abroad, are now
patrons of our postal-savings system |;
and enormous sums Of actual cash
have been released for commercial
uses among our own people at a
time when the need for every avail
able dollar is pressing.
The growth of postal savings in
the United States has been steady
and healthy and the system has filled
an important gap between the tin
can depository and the factory pay
master. On July /, when affairs
were running smoothly here and
abroad and the transmission of
money across the Atlantic was safe
and expeditions, there was approx
imately SAB, 100000 of postal savings
standing to the credit of about 1885,.
900 depositors. since then over
$1O,O 100000 of deposits have been
added and the number of depositors
has increased enormously. This
unprecedented gain is the more
striking when it is considered that
the net gain in the last three months
is larger than the gain for the entire
fiscal year 1914. Scores of offices
have done more postal savings bust
ness since the war has been going or
than was done by them during the
previous existence of the service
The increases are confined to NJ
special localities, but have been fel
in every nook and corner of the coun
try. New York City alone made {
gain in September of more than ;
million, while Brooklyn showed
relatively big increase. Chicago re
ported a larger gain in the pas
three months than for the previou
twelve months. More than 100
new accounts were opened during
the period, bringing the number o
depositors in that city up to owe
81, 900.
The unexpected increase is postal
savings business has not only adde
greatly to the general administrative
duties of the system, but has brough
up many new interesting problem
which have called for the Garrett
personal consideration of Postmaste
General Burleson and Governc
Dockery, Third Assistant Postmaste
General. But their task has bee
lightened somewhat by the promp
ness of depository banks in furnish
ing additional security to meet tt
abnormal deposits. A number {
the very largest banks in the coun
ry, which have heretofore decline
to qualify as repositories for posta
/ savings funds, are now among Il
eager applicants for them.
