are first cousins to the English. who are
very closely related to Americans
"War is honest. and We should fight

the proposal that the United States
place at the disposal of the entente
allies a vast credit, thus backing up
the entente campaign with the enor-
nous financial resources of this coun-
try. This proposal will undoubtedly be
taken up today by the Democrats of
the House Ways and Means Committee,
who will meet on organization matters
of the Treasury McAdoo and
the Federal Reserve Board. who are in
close touch with the financial resources
of the country, will be consulted as to
this plan.
In this connection 1t was pointed out
last night that the foreign securities
now held in the United States might
easily be vastly extended in amount
without danger to American financial
institutions. In a preliminary report
on the call for national banks on
March 5 the Comptroller OF the Cur
rency declared that the foreign bonds
held by national banks were s33S,ooo,-
900, "or but little more than 2 per cent
of the total resources"
This was the first time that a bank
statement has made any reference to
holdings of foreign securities The
statement likewise pointed out that re-
sources of the Central Reserve and
Reserve City banks on March were
greater by s21o.00O.OON than ever be-
fore, and greater by s4so.o0o,000 than
the resources at the last call, Decem-
