POSTAL SAVINGS
A FAIR SUCCESS
TWELVE YEARS OF OPERATION
HAVE PROVED THAT THE
PEOPLE LIKE 1T.
FOREIGN BORN BEST PATRONS
System Has Brought Much Hidden
Money Into observation-disclosures of
the Large Emigration That Fol-
lowed the World War.
BY JAMES P. HoRNAoAY


Washington.-Th postal savings
system has now been in operation II
years. 1t has succeeded fairly Well
Today there is less opposition to it
than at any time since 1t was intro
duced. Great Britain has had govern
ment postal repositories since 1861,
Canada since 1868. France since 1882,
Austria since 1888. Belgium since 1869.
Hungary since 1886. Italy since 1876,
Netherlands since 1881.
The average immigrant from these
countries contrasted his experience
with postal savings repositories in
his own country with the stories of
failures Of private banks and the
losses entailed In this country. He
learned that between 1870 and 1879
the failures of state and private saw
lngs banks in % states numbered 210.
with losses amounting to $30,816,0tO.
In the year 1870, In the states of Ohio
failures aggregated over SS,000,000.
Agitation for a United States postal
savings system began In 1871. 1t was
not an accomplished fact until June.
1910, after lapse of 80 years At
each periodical discussion of the sub
Ject a multitude of obstacles was
offered. All objections were overcome
finally, and In FIVE years the deposit
tors numbered 560,0O0, with balances
to their credit amounting to S73,000.-
900. This money came from wage earn
ers largely. the greater proportion be-
Ing foreign born who distrusted the
private banks of their own country
and carried with them to this coun-
try something of this same distrust.
Brings Out Hidden Money.
The first five years witnessed
marvellous growth under serious mis-
haps. The banks feared that the gov
eminent would invade the legitimate
domain Of private enterprise. On the
contrary, the postal savings system has
invaded the domain Of hidden money
has brought money from stockings
and cans and other hiding places and
restored 1t to the channels OF active
trade and commerce.
The original law provided for the
payment of 2 per cent interest to de.
positors, the Post Office department re-
depositins the funds In the several
banks in the community In proportiel
to their size and deposits, receiving
21s per cent interest therefor. The ia
per cent margin is for cost of adminls-
tration. Up to June, 1915. the depart
ment had turned into the treasury
s1,687 900. this being the difference
between the interest paid and the
interest received. Deducting the cost

Cuba PredOminated
 by Foreign Interests

Havana, Cuba, Aug. 17-Economic Teadtustment of governmental ser vices resulting from the inauguration July 1 of the 1922-1923 budget of ap- proximately 55,000,00O and causing the dimissa1 of thousands of federal employees, struck a heavy blow at the only remaining stronghold left to Cuban citizens-the government ser vice. According to Jorge Roa, in the Diario de la Marina, the only thing Cuban in Cuba is the state. ana he claims statistical backing for the fol- lowing statements: Railway and street car systems are under Anglo American control public lighting, American; city property, 60 per cent owned or pledged to foreign interests as security for loans; rural property, 66 per cent. American; sugar inter- ests, 56 per cent. American controlled and A per cent. other foreign con trol; tobacco 70 per cent. Anglo American; mining, Anglo-Am erican; banking, 75 per cent. foreign, ship ping, foreign.
 With Sl2aniards doing. almost 100 per cent. of the retail business of the island and foreign interetss dominat- ing importing and who1esaling, oper- ations, Cubans have been forced into minor positions in every line except law, medfcfne, and official. posts to which Cuban citizens alone are eI1gi- ble.

Good Chance to
 Take Vacations

Many who have offices in the Se- curity building are planning to take their vacations next week. The req son is an aversion to the 0dor of fresh paint. After IT years, the interior of the building is to be painted and rem ovated-it is to be given a brand new suit of clothes. Though the contract has not yet been awarded, it is ex- pected that work will begin Monday or Tuesday. The most difficult part of the work will be placing stagings across the halls. for the Security building, unlike most others, has no floors except narrow corridors which run in a rectangular shape. This en- ables an unusual amount of light to penetrate to all parts of the build ing from the large skylight.
