Growing Thrift Of People
Causes Great Increase
in Savings.
COULD NEARLY FINANCE
WAR BY INTERNAL LOANS
Issue in United States Would Be-
Mutually Beneficial, Min
lister Declares.

PETROGRAD. February 1s.-Con-
trasting Russia's increasing prosperity
with Germany's financial and economic
condition, the Russian minister OF
finance. Pierre L. Bark. in q statement
to the Associated Press today, express
ed the opinion that Russia could prose-
cute the war indefinitely without Sc
rfous menace to tho financial stability
Of the country.
"Russia's finances rest upon the most
solid foundation in the world" said
the minister, the economic prosperity
of the Russian people. which Is now
greater than was ever conceived pos
sible before the beginning of the war.
Thus, while the masses of the German
people are reduced by war to poverty.
the Russians.
Russians Are Saving.
THE optimistic statements concern
ing Germany's financial status have
deceived but few. On the other hand,
there is nothing illusory or apecious
about the Russians prosperity. 1t rests
upon the incontrovertible fact of the
Russian peoples increased earnings
and savings.
when a year ago, the savings banks
showed a monthly increase in deposits
of 100000 roubles. 1t was regarded
as phenomenal But that was only the
beginning. During the month OF jan
uary the savings banks alone showed
roubles. This is accounted tor prin.
cipally by the growing thrift and
economy of the peasants since the en-
forcement of prohibition, by their
wages they command. and by the gov.
eminent provision for the families Of
soldiers, which materially increased
their ante-bellum income.
Internal Loans Possible.
This marvellous prosperity makes
Russia capable Of raising a large num-
Der of successful internal loans. and It
is by this means chiefly that we hope to
defray the expenses of war. which
have now reach 1,000.00o,o00 rubles
monthly Germany can call for inter-
nal loans with no such confidence of
their success.
IT began modestly with loans Of two
or three hundred millions. but the last
loan was for one billion. and the pres
pect of being readily subscribed. 1t is
also encouraging to note that the ru-
BILE has already assumed an upward
trend, while the German mark shows
no sign of appreciating.
UU. 8. Loan an Advantage.
Although the greater part of the
funds Russia needs for carrying on the
war can be raised internally, do not
mean to say that we will not continue
to rely on foreign credits. Loans with
New York banks are now being con-
sidered. and since we offer the best of
security-that is. railway bonds guar
anteed by the government. 1t seems to
me a loan will be mutually beneficial.
and 1t is to be hoped will mark the be-
ginning of greatly increased business
between Russia and the United States
Since the word recognizes that Rus
sia's financial difficulties are only tenn
porary and the result Of inability
quickly to mobilize her vast wealth.
we expect to go through the war with
our credit unimpaired."

Interest of f15O,O00,OOO

LONDON. February 19.-Financial

Asouitt's coming demand for q new

purposes, bringing the total British
war expenditure up to f2,o82,o00. 900.
II is expected that when the premier
speaks on this subject Monday in the
house of commons he also will make
reference to the issue of new loan.

1t is generally thought that the
rumored addition Of fs00. 100000 to the
national debt will not cause much dis
turbance of the money market. al
though fnanciers and statesmen recog-
nize that the payment of the interest.
now amounting to approximately $780,

is later added to the burden.
Opinion Of Bankers.
Discussing the prospects Of the COM
ing loan, the Statist asserts that the
consensus of opinion among bankers
is that 1t should either be free Of the
income tax altogether or that q maxi
mum figure for the tax should be laid
down in the terms offered.
Among the general public the view
prevails that the nation will unite in

is strengthened by the apparent ma

mated national revenue returns, which
