DOES NOT FAVOR HIGH
INTEREST ON DEPOSITS
BY I. A. FLEMING.

i number of bankers in various sec
tions Of the country have considered
the matter of increasing the rate OF
interest paid on deposits, SO as to
minimize and inconvenience resulting
from large Withdrawals from banks to
invest in second liberty loans.
Asked as to his views on increasing
rates. the controller Of the currency
expressed himself as opposed to such
action in the following terms:
This office considers 4 per cent de-
cidedIy high rate for national banks
to allow on deposits, under existing
conditions. My suggestion is that you
take no action toward raising the rate
of interest until you are in better
position to determine exactly what ef-

sion of only sons of widowed mothers,
we would have as a result about 64O,-
600 men fit for training for purely
military service, and these men could
be called into the environments for
training as rapidly as these canton
ments were evacuated by the final in
crements of the new National Army
which were produced by the drafts
under the registration of June s, 1917.
by utilizing these splendid camps
as permanent training quarters for our
young men from 10 to 21 years of age

duty to SO use these camps and thus

the obvious thing to do.
"Of course, the logic Of the foreeo
Ing points with unerring accuracy to
universal military training as the
fundamental principle of permanent.
