Subsidy Also DiscIoses
Losses to Japanese.
BY UnIyersaI Service.

The United States Government to.
day emphasized the need for a ship
subsidy, in a statement from the
office of Secretary OF Commerce
Hoover showing that more Philippine
exports during 1921 were carried in
British ships than in American.
British and Japanese ships togeth.
er carried twice as much tonnage as
American vessels. The British alone
transported nearly half OF the total.
The statement said:
Exports from the Philippine Is
lands during 1921 totaled 765,SS6
tons, Of which 257 1870 tons were car.
ried in l76 United States vessels,
S1S.s3S tons in 259 British vessels,
l0S,35l in 112 Japanese ships. and
S1.2S7 tons in fifty seven ships Of all
other nations"
The figures were compiled by the
Manila office of the United Statcs
Shipping Board and transmitted to
the transportation division OF the De.
partmcnt OF Commerce. The prinCi-
pal items Of export were sugar,
copra cake, tobacco, lumber and
cigars, in the order of their import
ance.

Federal Reserve Ratio.

Combined reserve ratio for the
Federal Reserve System stands at
ia per cent. compared with 1874 per
cent a week ago and $50 per cent Il
year ago. Loss of one point in re.
serve ratio was due to a heavy in.
crease in deposits and an increase Of
about $3l ,000, 900 in Federal Reserve
notes in circulation. Increase in
note circulation reflects increasing
business activity.
Gold continues to accumulate In
reserve system despite policy Of pay
ing out gold notes. Total cash re-
serves amount to $3.2l3.0 900. com.

Bills discounted secured by Gov
ernment obligations and commercial
bills amount to about $434 900, 900.
This Is an increase of $4,000, 900 for

Investments owned amounted to
$4S3,356,000, an increase of S32 ,000..
600 compared with last week. and
more than double the investments

of loans has made it necessary for
Federal Reserve banks to increase
their investments in order to keep
earning assets large enough to pay
running expenses.
Government deposits with Federal
Reserve banks amounted to only
$l4,9Ol 900. lowest point touched
