MONEY MARKET IN SHAPE
FOR WAR. SAYS VANDERBILT
Could Assume Burdens Such a Condi-
ton Would Impose Without Disturbance

War with Germany would not affect
appreciably the money market Of this
country. The banking situation is so
comfortable that it could assume all
the burdens that such a condition would
impose on it without disturbance.
Frank A. Vanderlip, president Of the
National City Bank, is authority for
these statements. Asked yesterday
what would be the first effect on the
financial world should war come, he
said:
"The first thing to happen would be
the floating Of great government bond
issue. The first call would probably be
for sjOO.OO0.000. That would be read
lily taken care of, and you can imagine
with what speed when you know tina.
the other day we placed S200000,000 OF
British bonds with haSliy any one tax
ing any notice of II.
the whole banking situation in this
country is sound and so comfortable
that new burdens could be borne with
out any hardship"
Mr.. Yanderlip said that while the
tendency was toward frmer money he
did not look 10 any appreciable change
10 the money market in the event of
war.
