DEPOSITS IN SAVINGS
BANKS UP SIS. 900. 900
Big Gain in Year Reported
Good Work in Victory Loan.

Savings banks of New York State
made an actual gain Of s55,0oO.00o in
deposits in the last year over the pre-
ceding year. Samuel H. Beach, presi-
dent of the Savings Bank Association
and president Of the Rome Savings Bank,
told the members at their meeting In the
Hotel Biltmore yesterday. The State
savings banks have $4,000, o0o,000 on de-
posit at present
He congratulated the banks on the
way they handled the Victory Loan de-
spite the handicap from not being taken
into the confidence Of the Treasury De-
partment.
I'VE were in no way consulted with
plans for floating the loan" he said,
land punched cards and bther devices
were inflicted on us without asking
whether these methods would fit our
business. When the time came to mar
ket the bonds the Liberty Loan Com
mittee decided the savings banks de-
positors were the very people it was de-
sirable to interest in the loan. In spite
of the cumbersome tasks, in spite Of the
lack of information, the savings banks
handled the loan with more success thar
we dared hope for.
THE fact that savings bank deposits
in this State. as indeed all over the coun'
try. are greater than ever before is due
largely to the industrial boom which fol
lowed the war. and to the fact that large
numbers of immigrants who boarded
their savings during the war have nov
decided to place their money in SAT-
keeping The banking business Is OF
the threshold of the greatest era In 1t:
history"

Under the charter, the Mayor. the

SAYS SENATE WILL
REVISE COVENANT
George Wharton Pepper Dis
sects League Of Nations
for Credit Men.

George Wharton Pepper OF Philadel-
phia criticized the proposed League OF
Nations last night as the guest Of honor
Of the New York Credit Mems Associa-
ton at the Hotel Aston. He said at the
outset that the discussion has been
clouded by the failure to distinguish
closely the three different mental atti-
tudes toward the League OF Nations.
First" he said, there are those who
believe that the United states will never
attain to the full stature Of national de-
velopment unless we are left unham-
pered to decide in any emergency what
part we shall play. Such men point out
that we went to the aid Of the Allies, not
because we had promised to go or be-
cause some International tribunal had
ordered us to go, but because OF convic-
ton and self interest and our going was
made all the more impressive because OF
its spontaneity.
In the second place there are those
who believe there should be q society
of nations acting through an interna-
| tional council of concilliation, but with
out power to commit constituent nations;
| with large authority to recommend and
| advise and to turn the rays Of publicity
upon international business. substituting
| also general and open conference Tor
secret and exclusive diplomacy. ven
| ture the prediction that when at last
we extort President Wilson's original
draft from the reluctant nav of the
| State Department the country vii
be startled to find that this is the kind
| Of League of Nations which he pro-
posed. but which within two days wal
thrown into the discard in favor Of the
plan now before us.
IL l. t,,I 81 Of NJ n

| dissect that covenant so as to preserve
our sovereignty and yet give us the
benefit of broader international relation.
in which We will continue TO mind oul

I'm the third place there are thos'
who believe that the United States
should be built into the structure Of {
greater government that such govern
ment should work through a centra
agency with power to commit membe
states to particular causes Of action t
