In an interview criticising the ac-

Kitchin said
I'm my judgment this is the most
revolutionary and unjustifed order
ever issued by any department of this
government. If enforced It would de-
prive four-flfths of the State banks
of at least so per cent. of their net
income and out of 14,500 State banks
in the United States. at least 5000 of
them will be completely destroyed.
The banks destroyed will be those

OUTRAGEOUS, HE
SAYS; FIGHTS

WASHINGTON. July 2s-Another
clash between Postmaster General
Burleson and members OF Congress
representing rural communities be-
came imminent yesterday because OF
an order Of the Postofiice Department
requiring postmasters to act as col
lection agencies for Federal Reserve
banks receiving checks drawn on
State banks not members of the re-
serve system.
Representative Claude Kitchin
Democratic floor leader Of the House.
is among those who have begun to
receive protests from the banks Of
eected. He declared today that the
order Of the Postmaster General was
revolutionary and unjustiied." Other
members are beginning to hear from
their banker constituents, and many
of them consulted Mr. Kitchin. The
majority leader said he probably
would air the situation on the floor of
the House
The action of the Postmaster Cen
eral was taken at the instance of the
Federal Reserve Board, which re-
quested that the Postmaster General
authorize postmasters TO receive
checks from Federal Reserve banks
drawn upon State banks that are non
members Of the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn: that they be requested to collect
these checks in currency and remit
currency to the Federal Reserve bank
by registered mailG the Federal Re
serve Bank of the district to pay all
expenses for postage and registration
fees upon funds thus remitted"
The order Of the Postmaster Gen
eral. which would deprive small coun-
try banks OF the exchange fees on
such collections. was made on July
10. The establishment Of postofilces
as collection agencies is designed to
break up the business Of the State
banks that have charged exchange on
checks cleared through the Reserve
system.
Mr. Kitchin said that about 5000
country banks are largely dependent
upon exchange fees for their profits.
If the order of the Postoffice Depart
ment is not rescinded, he said many
Of these banks cannot make sufficient
money to keep them going.
The Federal Reserve Board, in
asking the Postmaster General to
take the action now complained Of,
wrote him as fellows:
LAS you know, the clearing and coll
lection plan, covering the country
wide collection of checks at par by
Federal Reserve banks, went into ef-
feet on July Is. 1916. The request
contained in the resolution submitted

were only s165.OOO,0OO. No dependable
figures covering all Brazils commerce
for the last fiscal year are vet avail
able, but che interchange with the
United States, which is so large fac
tor on the buying side, shows that the
country is now recovering rapidly, the
Improvement being very marked, as
with most of the other South American
countries, since last fall.
For some years the government Of
Brazil has Teen doing very intelligent
work TO strengthen her economic founda-
tion by developing other products than
coffee and rubber. The war has shown
the Importance Of this policy. and, not
withstanding the present word de-
mand for these two staples and the
constant Improvement in Brazil's con-
dltion, the experience will prove of
great value to the country. The re-
sources of Brazil in every direction
are such that il is bound to be big
factor in the worlds commerce if it
continues TO receive the support of
capital, and il, following the war, i'm
migration to the country continues.
The enormous size of Brazil and her
physical advantages are now being
better understood. In area it is
greater than the entire United States
If Alaska be left out. and is support
ing only 24,000,000 people. against four
times that many in ,ur country. OF
this population only seven to eight
millions are whites.
The dominant racial influence of the
country is Portuguese, since it was
settled by Portuguese citizens, but the
Italians, Germans and Spanish have
made their homes in Brazil in large
numbers. There are over four hun
dred thousand Germans in the south
ern states, the coffee sections, about as
many more Spanish in different parts
of the country, and nearly three times
that number of Italians. The Eng
lish are not in Brazil in large num-
bers, but their influence is great be
cause they have invested the most
money in the country and therefore
have larger material interests. The
representation of citizens of the
United States is confined to a few
thousand, but they are now becoming
known in the cities and are highly re-
spected.
In the United States we think of
Brazil as a very hot country. In the
main, the testimony of American resi-
dents is that. especially in the south
and central sections. along the At
lantic seaboard. it is very comfort
able land in which to live, this being
due largely TO the fact that most Of
the country in this great section con-
sists of a series of plateaus at an al
titude varying from 900 to 5000 feet
above the sea.

Brazil, the following year nearly So
OOO. 900. and during the last twelve
months about $15.0o0.000. The wool
item is not large. II amounted to ST.
100000 for the year ending July l. In
previous years it has only been few
hundred thousand dollars.
Our sales went down OF course IN
1918, and in 1914 as a result of the
war, dropped to the lowest mark we
have made in six years. The recovery
in 1915 was substantial, and for 1916
our sales to Brazil should exceed s40,-
100000. 1t is to be observed that this
figure does not equal the record We
established in the year before the war,
despite the European competition that
existed.
We have sold more agricultural i'm
plements to Brazil since the war. The
gain is small. however, being from
s25O,o00 TO 100000 during the past
year.
American automobiles are being
bought for the first time. Nearly all
the cars TO be seen in the streets OF

have been of English, French and Ger
man design. but now the low priced

ing the last year.
With practically all the British coal
cut off, our sales went up from $780,
900 in 1914 to nearly $500, 900 this last
year. The coal situation is very
serious one and important contracts
have recently been made with Amer
can companies to supply oil for the
big power plants in the cities. Some OF
these contracts are for long terms. and
oil will be an important item from
now on.
We have doubled our sales OF cotton
goods, but this item is only sl75,OOO.
Our sales Of typewriters, sewing ma
chimes, lumber, shoes and iron rails
dropped very considerably. but steel
and wire increased 10 such an extent
as 10 practically Offset these declines.
The Brazilians say that the falling of
in some of these commodities is per-
fectly natural. because of economics
being practised, but in the case OF
shoes they declared we were so busy
selling to Europe that We were not
much interested to look after the Bro
lillian business. They also think that
the sewing machine and typewriter
business was interfered with by our
munitions trade. OF course. Brazil's
purchasing power suffered a decline
because of the war. for a time at least,
but her sales to US fell off very little
ard our business should have increased
much more. The explanation which
the Brazilans make is that we have
not been alive TO our opportunities.
Certainly the country presents very
large field for the development of bus
mess with the United States. and If
we really devote our attention TO it we
will surely have the cooperation OF
sympathetic, able and enterprising
people, for the Brazilians are exceed
ingiy friendly to US and will do every
thing in their power TO extend our
relations.

n. total business Of Brazil grew

iargely IS a result Of the continued in
vsstnent OF foreign capital TO make
ayRusble the country's resources. In
1910 the total business amounted 10
nearly s536.000,0O0, with favorable
bal,nee on the right side for Brazil, so
lar as exports and imports were con-
r,rne6 OF s73.000,000. By 1912 the
,rsde was up TO $67l, 100000. The bal.
snce TO the good for Brazil out OF
his increased business, however, was
not 50 large as two years before, for
her purchases increased faster than her
ssles. and the result was only $4,000
900 on the credit side. Unlike many
other South American countries, how
ever. Brazil for years had a very sub

IN 1912 and 1918 Brszil's weakness
in being so largely dependent upon cof-
'.e and rubber was emphasized by the
sharp decline in the prices of these
commodities. The value of these ex-
ports dropped nearly s6o,oOO,OOo in a
,.nr'c wear. This loss was somewhat
made Up in other directions, but in 1913
The trade balance was against ALL

this is not very good trading, so far
as the United States is concerned. The
fault does not lie with Brazil. how
ever, but with us. and in the view of
the Brazilians this condition is due to
lack of transportation facilities and
the fact that we have not exerted
ourselves to sell our merchandise in
Brazil.
The first defect, that Of inadequate
transportation, has been brought to
our attention repeatedly by the Brazil
ian Government and its representatives
without arousing us TO action. Finally,
the Brazilian Government organized
it's own steamship lines to the United
Statcs-the Brazlian.Lloyd. The ships
sail monthly between Rio de Janeiro and
New York. They are small and provide
very poor facilities compared with what
we should have, yet, very largely. as
the result of the development of this
line, our sales to Brazil increased in
four years-1910 TO l913-from $780,
900, 900 to s5l ,000.000
Brazil does not hesitate to back her
judgment as TO the need of ships and
the returns sure to come from them,
for, notwithstanding something of a
financial pinch caused by the war. the
government is now adding to her mer-
chant fleet, and Brazilian shipyards are
working TO the limit of capacity. One
Of these ships, a 10000 ton freighter,
was started recently. the President and
his Cabinet attending the ceremonies
Of laying the keel. About ten add
tional ships, 5000 to 10000 tons, are
planned and construction has begun on
some of them.
Our biggest purchases from Brazil
were in 1912, and amounted to SAL
100000. For the full year of 1913,
ending with December 81. they dropped
to s100,000000. because Of the reduc-
ton of coffee and rubber prices, and
in the following twelve months. includ-
ing five months of war, this figure de-
clined $4,000. 900 more. For the cslen
dar year ending with January l, 1916,
our purchases increased again TO Sl20,-
OOO and when the figures are COM
piled they will probably show some in
crease over this for the fiscal year to
July /.
We bought s75.000,OO0 worth of cof-
fee from Brazil in the year before the
war. In the twelve months ending
July I, 1915, this item dropped to $685.
100000, but for the same period to
July I. 1915, our buying will total
about 72,OOO,OOo.
The jitneys of the United States
mean something to Brazil, for, in spite
of the enormous increase Of our i'm
ports of cultivated rubber from the
East Indies, we continue TO take larger
quantities from Brazil. In the past
wear we broke all records, paying
Brazil 500 100000 for rubber for the
twelve months TO July I. For the pre-
vious year, which included the first
part Of the war we took s2O,OOo,oOO
worth. as against s170OO,000, the rec
ord figures made in 1913.
Our purchases of hides, wool and
cacao have also climbed In 1914 we
bought s3,250,000 worth Of hides from
