 The federal war risk insurance bu. reau, Mr. McAdoo says, should be ex, tended year to September ,. 1918, since congress might not be in ses. sion next September, and 1t would be impossible then to continue the work if the European war is still in pro gress and serious injury to American business might result. The report says up to November 17 nearly l,70O poli- cies were written by the bureau with a total risk of more than S14,6l0,000 and losses amounting to $S33.924. Pre- miums received amounted to $3,142,- 525.
 In speaking of customs revenues, which increased about $3.4O0,OOO over the previous year, the secretary says the European conflict is still iuterfer- ing with such receipts.
 Before the breaking out of the Flu ropean war" says the report. the amount of the collections indicated clearly that under normal conditions the present tariff will produce all the revenue it was estimated it would pro duce at the time 1t was drawn, and since the war the receipts under the tariff bill have been all that could be expected under the present condi- tions'

1916 were financed without difficulty and to the great advantage of the far mers, and the industrial troubles which at one time seemed imminent. because of the threatened railway strike last summer were not accom- panied by the slightest financial un- easiness. Happily the country has been at peace and business and en- terprise have had the largest oppor- tunity for favorable development un- der the most suspicious conditions.
 "If we make intelligent use of our great power and exceptional financial resources, we can cope successfully with any conditions the future may develop"
 One of the features of the report is q discussion of present methods of constructing public buildings.
 "I am convinced" says the secre- tary, that the methods pursued by congress for the past fifteen years of providing federal buildings through so-called omnibus public building bills have resulted in the construction of many public buildings in small towns and localities where they are not need ed, and at a cost which is clearly un- justified by any actual requirements of the communities in which they are erected The conclusion is irresistible that authorizations for public build ings in these small communities are too frequently dictated by local req sons and without regard to the best interests of the government The most serious aspect is this The an nual operation and maintenance of these buildings impose on the treas ury a permanent and constantly in creasing burden.
 Common sense and business judg, ment would seem to demand that structures for the transaction of gov. ernment business should be authorized only in localities where they are i'm. peratiyely needed, and that buildings should not be erected where no pub. lie necessity can be shown This re suit can be accomplished by divorcing the public building question from ali local or political considerations and authorizing no public buildings until thorough and intelligent invesuga tion Of each proposed building project has been made to this department and full report thereon has been submit ted to congress. If such reports were followed by the introduction and pas sage of separate measures to cover

CENTRAL RAD|O | PLANT II BE
 AT CORDOVA

The central radio station in Alaska is to have it's headquarters at Cordova according to the plans of the navy de partment A new station has just been erected at Mile 14, along the Cop per River & Northwestern railway. and 1t will be equipped next summer with machinery. A new receiving and operating station is also to be built at Mile [, and the entire plant will be in charge of Chief Electrician J. GiIlis. formerly of the Whitshed sta tion.
 Through a system of relays known as the remote control, the transmit ting set at Mile 14 will be operated from Mile station. This is neces- sary on account of the current in terfering with the instruments. New buildings and towers will be erected at Mile ', and the additional eXpendi- ture on the big plant will be in the neighborhood of $I00O0O. The repair ship Saturn will make three trips to Cordova next summer. bringing the necessary machinery. After the new station is in operation the one at Whit shed will be abandoned.
 Mir. Gnlis, accompanied by his wife, returned to Cordova today, and they were both warmly welcomed by their host of friends. After Mir. Gillis left here he inspected the wireless plants on the Pacific fleet. and later made a trip to Mexico, in charge of the wire less on the battleship South Dakota.

FINANCES OF COUNTRY GOOD.
 SAYS SECRETARY TREASURY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. - Secretary McAdoO's annual report of the govern ments finances. presented to congress today. estimates that the fiscal year ending June 30. 1917. will show a bal ance Of $115OOO.O0O in the general fund, but that the figures a year later June 30, 1918. will show a deficit in the general fund of $185,00O,0OO.
 Preliminary estimates place the cost of conducting the government for the coming fiscal year 1918, exclusive of the postal service, which is expected to be self sustaining and other deduc, tions, at $1,278,021, ,OOO The ordinary receipts for the fiscal year 1918 he estimates at $995, ,550,OOO. which is $282. 2.47l ,0OO less than the estimated expense
 Estimates of large expenditures for national defense carry the estimated outlay beyond the estimated income.
 For the fiscal year 1916 now draw ing to a close, the secretary reports great prosperity and expresses great. est confidenc for the future During the past year" the secretary says, the prosperity which set in so strongly during the fiscal year 1915 has grown in strength and volume and is now widely diffused throughout the United States. Fundamental economic condi tiOns have never been more sound In all lines of industry efficiency of organization and production have reached the highest point in the cOun try's history. General confidence in the future, healthful enterprise and development have been marked char acteristics of the year.
 The financial strength of the United States - the greatest in our history gives us a commanding position in world finance We have been trans formed from a debtor into creditor nation. On November 1, 1916, the stock of gold coin and bullion in the United States was estimated at $2. TOO. .136, ,976, an increase of $7t4,597. BOA in the past sixteen months. This is the largest stock of gold ever held in the United States or in any other country of the world. Through the op erations of the federal reserve system and with our abundant supply of gold as a basis. the credit resources of the United States have become more thar sufficient for home demand, and we have been able to finance our great domestic and foreign trade without

strain and to extend vast amounts of credit to other nations throughout the world
 The experience of the past two years has brought into strong relief the value of the federal reserve sys- tenn. It is not too much to say that our great prosperity could not exist without it. The usefulness of the sys- tenn has been broadened recently by the amendatOry act of September z, 1916, which renders it more attractive to member banks and increases the scope and service of the federal re serve banks. Due to the transference reserve banks, authorized by the Origi- nal act and amendatory act. the re sources of said banks are now more than $650, 0,OOO,000 while the total re serves held are over $400,000, ,OO0. and. in addition, more than S230,000,00O is held by federal reserve agents as spe- cial security against federal reserve notes. About One-fOurth of the Coun- try's stock of gold is thus mobilized in the hands of the federal reserve banks and agents.
 The increasing strength and eff ciency of the federal reserve banks have enabled them to enlarge their di- rect service to the business commun- ity through the introduction of a defi- nite and comprehensive system for the par clearance of checks throughout the country.
 Rates of discount Of federal reserve banks have continued low throughout the year, and most of their open mar ket paper, consisting largely Of accept ances growing out of foreign trade, has been taken below a l-2 per cent basis. Rates of interest throughout the country have been reduced and stabalized with great advantage to the business of the country.
 Tt would have been impossible to finance our vast domestic and foreign trade without the facilities provided by the federal reserve system. Not only has 1t met the normal and extra ordinary needs of business, but it has established confidence securely. Busi- ness has been able to go forward with out apprehension and the several crises which the country has faced in it's international relations during the past two years have been accom- panied by no disturbances and have caused not even tremor in the fin anoial world.
