WAR HAS WIPED OUT FLOAT
ING DEBT OF UNITED STATES.

John SHELTON Williams, in Il recent
address at Frankfort, KY, before the
Kentucky Bankers Association. said
in reviewing She first year of the war.
that the United States had not only
avoided II financial crisis, but had
wiped out the floating debt of $780,
100000 due to Europe on Jan. l, 1915,
and absorbed between $750,000 900
and $1,000 100000 of American sccuri-
ties that were held abroad and now is
in condition to help finance the whole
world at the conclusion of the war.
The income of the people of the
United States over the expenses of
living and available for development
and investment, he said amounts to
$4,000, 100000 year.
The total annual income of the
people of this country from produc-
tive occupations he estimated ut $40
100000.
Mr.. Williams named instances
where some banks throughout the
country had charged so per cent. to
2,4O0 per cent on loans, and said that
the system of allowing banks to charge
interest according to their own wish
es or the necessities of the borrowers
would develop Il spirit of Anarchy.
Socialism and revolution and create
growing feeling of hostility against
wealth and capital.
Interest of 300 per cent" he de-
Grade, "will make more Anarchists
than all the |. w. w. orators who can
howl and will create more hatred of
property and corporations than all
