said the harbor of Perth Amboy was
much to be preferred to New York.
For q time it was New York's chief
rival with an extensive foreign COM
merce. Many believed, ultimately, 1t
would be a more important port thar
New York.

FINE START HERE
FOR NEW BANK
Officers and Directors Are
Greatly Encouraged

AT the close of the first days bust
ness of the new City National Bank,
which opened it's doors to the general
public yesterday morning the deposits
amounted to $~202,327.91 in the check
ing department and ~$S,011.95 in the
saving department. The total resourc
es of the institution at the close of
business yesterday were $379.329.45.
The Board of Directors and officials
are more than pleased with the show
ing made by the bank, which is con-
siderable more than that made by new
institutions on the first day they open
for business. The first depositor in
the bank was Abram Kasse Of New
York. About 100 different depositors
placed accounts In the institution OF
its opening day.
At the close of the banking hours
yesterday, the building vas thrown
open for the inspection of the general
public and there were many visitors
The banking room was beautifully
decorated for the reception with flow
ers and ferns and each woman visitor
was presented with an American
beauty. Refreshments were served by
Mrs. Larson. The directors acted as
the reception committee and ever
one was given a cordial welcome a.
they entered the doors.
Mayor Frank Dorsey, a director OF
the institution, called attention to
several advantages offered by the
bank seldom found in u new bank
In the first place, he said, the bank
will have its own new paper currency
under the authorization of the Treas
ury Department. In addition the
bank is protected by a 100000
blanket insurance policy against
theft, hold-ups or defalcations of any
kind. A hold-up or d~efalcation would
not amount to even a temporary in
convenience to the bank patrons with
the protection of the insurance pol
icy, the mayor said.
when we opened for business we
felt that we had an organization ca
pable of handling the business. The
number and amounts of depositors
are most encouraging. And in re-
turn we have felt that our depositors
were entitled to every security we
could afford them. Our insurance
covers every possible loss" Mayor
Dorsey said.

FOREIGN BORN PRAISED
Given Credit For Helping Govern
ment During World War.
Response Would Make Simon Pure
Americans Take Notice, u
Known, Say Officials.

Praise for the spirit and the &C
tual performance OF Americas foreigl
| born during the world war was givel
| without stint at a meeting in Mime
apolis recently by Hans Rieg, head o
the foreign language section Of thu
National War Loan Organization. Mr.
Reig spoke before Minnesota county
chairmen of the War Savings StamI
division at meeting which was ad
dressed also by Theodore Void, gov
ernor of the Minneapolis Federal Re
serve bank. Arthur r. Rogers, chair
man Of the Ninth District War Loan
organization, John H. Meyering, B. g.
Bull and other workers of the govern
ment securities committee.
In the purchase of Thrift Stamps
and War Savings Stamps the 13.000,-
900 foreign born Americans and the
100000 more whose parents were
foreign born have come forward with
response which would make the ST.
mon pure Americans sit up and take
notice if it were generally known"
Mr.. Rieg said.
"a great benefit from the war is the
realization it has brought us of tho
value Of our foreign born brother citi-
zens. 1t has made us realize that they
are a welcome element in our popu-
lation and that their contribution to
our prosperity is one of the foremost
importance. Their answer to the
draft summons, under which hundreds
of thousands waived exemption, their
purchase of Liberty Bonds and their
conservation, much of which has led
to the purchase of War Savings
Stamps have all been whole-hearted
performances.
I'VE are going about the organiza-
ton of War Savings societies with one
great purpose in view. We are going
to inculcate the virtue Of thrift in a
nation that is VIGOROUSLY profligate.
And with this we are to couple
course of Americanization, a further
effort to advance our foreign born
llong the road of citizenship"
Mr.. Rieg told how the Ninth dis
riots plan of using existing clubs
nd societies as the nucleus of the
Var Savings societies to be formed
las the approval of the treasury de- |
artment workers at Washington.
Organization and education, he said, |
re the two great means by which |
americans can be changed from
pendthrifts to careful spenders and
observers OF their resources. Mr..
leg emphasized the value of choosing
ne right type of leadership and con-
ratulated the Ninth district on the

our debts are paid and the suffer-

It IS The PEOPLES JOB
Reasons Why We Must Fully Sub
scribe to Victory Liberty Loan.
u Lsft to Banks Alone They Could
Not Meet Commercial Needs
Of Country.

MONEY ALREADY SPENT. tt
pay it, bills, fulflll its contracts, brini
home our boys and otherwise 1nisl
the job, the United States Government
MUST have billions of dollars more
than can be realized from taxation
By April LIST 1t will have spent prac
tieally $4,000, 100000, borrowed or
short-time certificates of indebtedness
In anticipation of the Victory Loan.
POPULAR LOAN THE ONLY WAY
There is just one way in which the
treasury department can get this great
sum OF money. That Is by borrowing
It from the people of this country. In
thinking or disloyal people have said
that tho banks were going to subscribe
this loan. Stop and think what that
would mean. II the banks could and
did loan the Government $4,000, 000.-
900, 1t would require the investment
Tin non-negotiable securities) Of every
cent of money ut their command. Re-
sult-They would have no money to
loan to commercial customers. How
long could the business of the country
be conducted without borrowed capt.
tai? II the banks took the Victory
Loan, business would be stagnated.
Failures and all the suffering and ca
tastroph1es OF panic would follow.
No. The Victory Liberty Loan MUST
be subscribed by the VERY GREAT
EST POSSIBLE NUMBER OF PEO-
PILE from their savings.
A GOOD INVESTMENT. The Vic
tory Liberty Loan will furnish another
fine investment opportunity to the peo-
pie. Uncle Sam isn't asking us to give
him anything. He is only asking us to
invest in the worlds safest securities.
and for the use of the money he is
to pay us the most liberal
Interest consistent with good bust
ness. The non-investing classes have
never before had so remarkable a
chance to profitably and safely invest
heir money.

eace-time patriotism of America.
Is the patriotism, which SO largely |
ntered into the remarkable oversub-
criptions of the four previous loans,
garment our people put on for eigh-
cen months and then cast aside?
