As Bad AS Gambling

The principal fear of American
bank is that financiers, made over
confident because of the great quantity
Of gold in this country, will build toe
much on it.
What are regarded as unsafe loans,
or speculative loans, are not those re-
ouired for building factories and start
ing enterprises during the prosperity
wave.
/ sToo many factories would be as
bad as too much stock gambling, this
expert said. 1--WE can't stand it. We
United States now.
ere this country, holding ~ per cent.
of all the gold in the world, Is caught
at the end Of the war with too much
loans outstanding, there is fear of a
dangerous tightening Of the money
market when the gold starts going
l'back to Europe-as 1t will.
eff European manufacturers come
back and turn the trade balance
against this country as it was before
the war necessiated heavy exports
from America and negligible exports
to it,
Another banking expert of the gov
eminent believes this country, can. alb
sorb most Of the gold it now holds.
"Our gold holdings are not as big as
lot Of people think" he said. 1--WE
held "a per cent. Of the worlds gold
before the war. We have increased
three per cent. I admit three per
cent. Is a lot, viewed as q sum, but we
have grown, too. do not fear q

the war, anyway, It, wouldn't do Eu-
rope any good. It would come right
back to us"
Only One Way to Keep It
ssThe only way they could keep it,
said this second expert, would be to
Berlin bank or the Bank Of France.
AS long as our trade balance is favor
able to us-which means as long as we
export more than we 1mport-the gold
will come back to us.
"And 1 don't fear a reversal Of the
trade balance. Europe is stricken.
Americans must help to build it up
America and American capital
"As for dumping Of cheap articles

manufacture them, don't fear that
either. In the first place, Europe

ing something else. But we've got to
furnish the materials in many cases.
eff Europe could dump goods on
us, it would be wise for Europe to do
it now, when those goods are bringing
high prices. They would If they
could, believe me.
IT do not mean to say that am
not afraid of the gold disease that
leads to overconfidence in our finances
and to flight loans based on top-heavy
calculations as to the nature of our
prosperity ann afraid of it, and I
agree that we ought to extend foreign
credits.
eft certainly will not hurt us. But
I never will believe that we must go
out and make big loans just to get

Of it safely we'll have to keep it and

(3) The acceptance system, provi-
sion for which is made In foreign
trade operations by the federal re-
serve act, should be extended to the
domestic trade in SO far as relates to
documentary acceptances secured by
shipping documents or warehouse re-
ceipts, covering readily marketable
commodities or against the pledge Of
goods actually sold
There can be but little question OF
the safety of such acceptances and
their use will tend to equalize inter-
est rates the country over and help
to broaden the discount market

to national banks to establish branch
offices within the city. or within the
county in which they are located.

banks to obtain prompt and economi-
cal accommodations for periods. not

ed by such notes, drafts bills of ex-
change. and bankers acceptances as
the law at present permits to be re-
discounted or purchased; or against
the deposit or pledge Of United states

law.

mends that the power Of national
banks to make loans on farm lands

situated in central reserve city to
make loans secured by improved and
unencumbered farm fand situated
within its federal reserve district, or
