McAdoo's announcement. are being
made by treasury department officials
While that sum has been decided upon.
Secretary McAdOo stated that he
stands ready to increase the amount to
any extent to meet the needs Of the
country.
Decision to distribute government
funds again this fall was the result Of
replies from 5000 national banks to a
recent treasury department circular
asking whether an unusual demand for
money was expected this fall and for
what purposes. The policy of distri-
buting funds for crop moving purposes
was inauguated last year, when about
$35, 100000 Of the $4,000 900 Secretary
McAdoo had decided upon was deposit
ed in the crop moving sections.
While the principal demands for
funds has come from the south, certain
sections Of the southwest and west
have requested deposits. Secretary
McAdoo announces that he is prepared
to begin the distribution of funds as
soon as the banks comply with the
regulations and present the required
security.
Federal, state and municipal bonds
and prime commercial paper will be
accepted as security for the money,
upon which the banks will pay per
cent interest. Last year the secretary
required that 10 per cent of the de
posits be secured by government bonds
That requirement, however. will be
waived this year.
Prospects for unusually large crops
and greatly improved business condi-
tons throughout the country were in

the replies from the bankers to his

authority whatever they attached the
names Of two Democrats Of Iowa

that to Democrats who believe that
