MENAcING THE BANKING SYSTEM.

m HAT alert if not sagacious hnancer. Secretary
McAdoo. has been turned down by the Federal
Reserve Board for second time. His first rebuff
when proposed pay S3OOOOOOO into the national
banks Of the South without interest to be used for the
benefit OF the Southern cotton planters. The Reserve
Board frowned upon the plan. although asserting to
the sending Of government money to the regional
banks for the same purpose
Mr.. McAdoo's second slap from the Reserve Board
came when he proposed that the banks should
open branches in South America. The board wisely
decided that any of the member banks in the Federal
Reserve system wished to open South American
branches they have that privilege; but that the funds
of the reserve system a whole should not be used
for such purpose
The secreary's motive in both of these proposals
was political and personal II he could send 100000
600 of government money into the South placing it in
such banks he chose he would confer great favor
upon his favorites in section already favored beyond
measure by this administration; and he would thereby
add to his own and 10 the administrations strength
with the dominant Southern wing Of the Democratic
party in Congress.
Mr.. McAdoo's proposal to put the Federal Reserve
banks into the banking business in South America was
due. possibly to his personal hatred of the
National City Bank OF New York which has ALREADY
taken advantage OF It's rights under the Reserve law
and is establishing itself forceful factor in South
American financial and commercial development The
South American branches OF the National City bank Of
Ter all the extra banking facilities which American bust
ness men require in South America; and If they are
TO be put into rivalry with branches from parent
reserve system there no doubt as to the resutrun
n GUS competition a complete withdrawal from the
field.
It is fortunate that the Reserve Board has been
strong enough to resist Mr. McAdoos attempt 10 pav
politics with the Reserve system and to make il an
agency for wreakng his personal vengeances But the
incidents show vital weakness in the Federal Re
System whereby a Secretary of the Treasury is
enabled even TO attempt such practices They show
further the dangers which the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn is exposed so long like Mr.. NIcAdoo re-
mains at the head OF the Treasury Department

LIFT THE LID.

From the New York Sun.
There are not only rumors but di-
rect statements from Responsible
sources that affairs in the Philippines
are in evil case. Coupled with these
are reports to the effect that the Phil
ippine lid is kept as tightly clamped
down in Washington as was ever the
Mexican lid in the most watchful OF
our waiting days.
Congress will be very apt 10 hear
from Representative c. b. Miller of
the Eighth Minnesota district. both
on this subject Of the Philippine lid
and on the things Hereunder. Mr.
Miller went to the islands to see for
himself He saw, and what he tells
is distinctly depressing. He found
things in the Philippines apparently
in about the worst case they have
been since the days of the annoying
Aguinaldo, with the underpinning of
American prestige nearly all knocked
out and our present conduct OF affairs
hard at it pulling away what few
props yet remain. But about as seri-
GUS a charge as any he brings is that

criminally concealed from the Ameri-

A Knockout for Ship Purchase
tFrom the New York Press)

The German government did Secre-
tary McAdoo a shabby turn when il
announced under the provisions Of
law recently passed German subjects
are not permitted to dispose of
merchant vessels or stock in any
shipping company TO alien pur-
chasers. Mr. McAdoo is out West
trying to excite some popular interest
in his and the Presidents scheme of
establishing goyernment-owned
merchant marine. This scheme re-
ceiyed many hard knocks in Congress
at the last session. The only leg left
it to stand on has been the argument
that the United States might be able
to take over a number of the German
ships interned here at bargain
counter prices. Now the German
ban on sales has disposed of that
last piece Of underpinning.
However vicious in principle the
government purchase plan was, some
part Of the public might have been
caught by the assurance that the
shipping situation would be improved
il idle German merchantmen in our
harbors could be pressed into SER
vice by government purchase for
emergency purposes. 1t was some
thing Of drawback, of course. that
the French government refused last
winter to recognize the validity of
the sale Of interned German ships
and seized the Dacia. which had been
brought by an American citizen and
started across the Atlantic with a
cargo of cotton for Germany. Il
was DOinted ont in the Senate that
purchasing such ships and attempt
ing 10 operate them under govern
ment auspices was merely purchas-
ing suits in the Allied prize courts.
Then. IL was formally denied that the

success Of the administration scheme
was dependent upon the acquisition
of the interned German merchant
men. But the possibility of getting
them at a bargain remained and fur
nished the only real argument, from
the economic point Of view, behind
the McAdoo experiment.
For if the interned German merch-
antmen could not be procured. where
could vessels be found which would
Immediately increase our shipping
facilities? All the owners OF neutral
freight carriers are enjoying the op-
portunity Of a lifetime. They could
not be tempted to sell to the United
States government except at ex-
orbitant figures, since they we're max
ing big profits, while the German
owners were not only earning moth
ing but were losing heavily through
fixed charges and depreciation. The
American producer could not be bene-
fitted, even temporarily, by the trans
fer OF a certain number OF available
neutral ships from private ownership
TO government ownership. AT the
close of the war. too, the government
would be left with fleet on its
hands representing 80 to 40 per cent.
OF watered capital.
With the withdrawal from the
market of the interned German
merchantmen the last chance van
ishes of establishing a government
merchant marine on economical lines.
That being the case. why go on with
piece of political farce-comedy?
Why try to induce the country to
sanction the purchase of merchant
fleet which would not add to sour
present maritime resources and
which would have to be operated,
until disposed of, at a steady loss?

Editorial Opinion
THE PRESIDENTS
OPPORTUNITY NEXT WEEK,
From the New York Sun.

From the New York sun.
It is announced that in his address
in this city on November A the >Presi-
dent will discuss fully and frankly
the administration plans for an in
creased naval and military equipment.
II this prove to be the fact. Will he
take advantage of the opportunity to
denounce the intrigue to make a pa
triotic duty the stalking horse for a
mysterious promotion scheme abhor-
rent to the American system?
Even if the President be still in
sympathy with the mysterious project
for government speculation in the
ocean freight and passenger freight
traffic, he cannot be in sympathy with
an attempt to float such an undertake
ing at the taxpayers expense by
sneaking it through under cover of a
movement to which it would be ir-
relevant and Gripping.
II the ship purchase bill should get
through Congress by choking the SEN
ate with a cloture gag, we have had no
recent first hand assurances that it
would meet the approval of President
Wilson. Things have changed since
the President dismissed the entire
war preparedness discussion as "aca-
demic." They have changed since he
gave his support to the McAdoo
measure. What ever obsessions still
dominate certain members of his Of
fetal family, there is no recent dis
interested evidence that he shares
them.
Irrelevant as is the ship purchase
bill itself is the Presidents topic of
war preparedness, the design lately
revealed to foist that bill on the
country as a rider on the measures
required for national defense is not
only obtrusive, but so intrinsicallyy
reprehensible that it seems impossible
that the President should let slip an
occasion to record his unqualified con
demnatiOn of il.
