Reserve Board Plan Would
Release the Sum OF
$20O,OOO,00Q
WOULD HAVE
4 BANKS HOLD FUNDS
This Would Leave Little
Work for the y. S.
Treasurer

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2s.--A major
ity of the federal reserve board are in
favor of radical change in the method
of handling government money. Ihey
would have all on hand held in the re-
serve banks instead of in the treasury
and the sub treasures, as at present.
This change would abolish the present
sub.treasuries and vastly diminish the
Importance of the office of treasurer OF
the United States. There is a division
in opinion among the members OF the
reserve board as to the time this change
should be made, but it is said that there
is no division among them as to the
adyisability Of the change from theo-
retical standpoint.
The change would by no means portend
the abolition of the treasury depart
ment, as there still would be many de-
partments of the treasury, such as those
headed by the collector of internal reve-
nue., in charge of the collection of moneys
in the United States; the comptroller
of the currency, in charge OF the super
vision of national banks; the customs
division; the bureau of printing and en-
craving, where the paper money Is made ;
the mints, where the metallic money is
made, and the supervising architect, IN
charge of the plans and construction OF
all public buildings.
Then. too, other departments which are
not generally known to be under the
treasury department would remain. Sew
eral of the well-known divisions are the
coast guard service, which combines the
old revenue cutter with the life-saving
service. and the secret service. the agents
of which protect the 'president and run
down counterfeiters.
So far as holding tire money, however,
the secretary of the treasurer would be-
come only fiscal officer. He would
draw checks with which to pay the gov
ernment's bills, but would have virtually
no money on hand. The system OF pay
ing by treasury warrants, which are
actually checks on the treasury, would
be abolished.
An advocate of the new plan points
out that putting it into effect would
release more than S200000000 for actual
use in the country. About this amount
is usually held in the treasury, and often
much more, which under the proposed
plan would be on deposit in the federal
reserve banks instead of being locked up
In vaults.
Incidentally, were this money all in
the reserve banks, instead of being in
the treasury vaults, the secretary OF the
treasury could not make crop-moving de.
posts. This would pass TO the jurisdic-
ton of the federal reserve board. The
board, it is pointed out, could under this
plan deposit all the money il might deem
necessary in any member banks it chose,
and in that way take care of the crop
moving or any other situation that
might arise.
II il pointed out that no other country
with a big banking system, such as the
reserve board, duplicates so much Of its
machinery by having a treasury depart
ment which keeps on hand most Of the

General War Council Is
Far from Harmonious
BY J. W. r. Mason
CWritten for The United Ures.

(Wflllen Tor Jne united UfeSS)
New York, Dee 11.-indications are
that The Allies general war council
is meeting with the common fate Of
coalitions and is failing to satisfy
Persistent reports from Paris report
serious differences Of opinion among
the military leaders In fact, the com-
ell is proving itse.f no grand general
staff for direction of the war, but,
instead, an exchange bureau for eX-
animation Of political advisabilities.
The council now Is engaged in exam
ininE the advisaaility of continuing
the Balkan campaign. Meantime Brit
ish and French forces are beng
hurled back from southern Serbia.
This examination into the Balkan
problem, however, is not d matter of
determining how to defeat the leu
tons and Bulgars, but rather what is
good for the individual issues.
A truly united policy acceptable to
all the Allies is impossible Russia
wants the Balkan situation continued
for the sake of her prestige in that
region, while the other Allies are not
entirely content with continuing on
and neglecting possibilities Of another
major offensive in the west.
Britain takes leading part in OPP
position to Russia's desire to have the
Balkan campaign continue at all costs.
She is reluctant 10 contribute men as
long as the Central Allies are out Of
Albania, on which she keeps her ieal-
Gus eye At the same time France
wants to reserve her forces for he
own defense. A compromise, there
fore, would leave misgiving, if, indeed
not suspicious among the contcndnH
groups.

proportions which the Macedonian
conflict is assuming that The major
part of the Bulgarian army has divert

outcome Of the battle now in progress
is awaited with great anxiety in Eng

The numerical superiority of the

British forces to repel the increasing
