IS THE NATIONS CUSTODIAN
Bank of England Is Private Company
and Not Government Institution,
as Many Believe.

The Bank of England now exceed
ingly busy with the war loan, is not,
as most people think, a government
institution. 1t is private company,
but reaps good profit by acting as,
the nations banker, says London
Tit-Bits. The remuneration paid to
the Bank of England for the man
agement of the national debt was
fixed in 1906 as yearly sum at the
rate of $1,625 a million pounds of
such debt up to $2,500,000,000, and
at the rate of $500 for every 1,000,-
900 pounds above this amount. On
this basis, assuming a total war loan
Of 2,500,000,000 pounds, the banks
remuneration will work out at about
100000 pounds annually, to say
nothing of the income they receive
for managing the old national debt,
which, on the outbreak of the pres
emit war, was something like $780,
100000 pounds.
Before any of the money that is
now pouring into the Bank of Eng
land can be spent, certain proceed
ure has to be followed. First of all,
an order signed by the king, and
countersigned by two lords of the
treasury, has to be forwarded to the
controller and auditor general of the
exchequer and audit department.
Thereupon the controller hands an
order to the treasury authorizing the
Bank of England to debit the ex-
chequer account and credit the ac-
count of the paymaster general, who
makes all payments on behalf of the
various departments. Afterward the
controller scrutinizes all the ac-
counts paid to see that the money has
been spent in accordance with the
wishes of parliament.

of 1920 a bushel for wheat fixed
by President Wilson will be main
tanned, it was made clear at the Food
Administration Office, despite isolated
protests from farming interests that
the figure is too low. Virtually the

was said, has arisen in North Dakota,
where the crop was unusually poor.
North Dakota farmers are demand.
ing So bushel for their wheat and
are asking for the removal of the
Food Administrations regulations de-
signed to prevent speculation. They
particularly object to restrictions
against elevators storing grain more
than thirty days.
DR.. R. A. Pearson, assistant to the
Secretary of Agriculture, is just back
from trip throughout the West with
a report that he found the wheat price
generally acceptable except in the
communities where crops were far
below normal.
The result Of the price fixed, Food
Administration officials say, is that
the farmer will receive about 33 per
cent. more per bushel than last year.
On the other hand, through arrange
ments made for the elimination of
speculation and to control distribu-
ton, the consumer should, they con-
tend, obtain saving of at least So a
barrel on flour, or 20 per cent. under
the average Of the last four months.
