ATLANTIC CITY, April 18.---.
A. Mitchell Palmer, former alien

CASTOR B. Means before the Daugh-

"The lurid tale of a plot or the

Influence in congress in his behalf,
is a tissue Of falsehool from begin

The statement also said that to
"allow a witness like Means to re-
peat unfounded charges, long since
been disproved, is well calculated
to discount the sincerity Of the
present inasstigation and justify
widespread criticisms sofsthe senate

FIGURE IT
OUT YOURSELF
What Do the Bankers Mean,
Eighteen Billion Dollars in
the Savings Bank"2
BY JOHN LAKEWOOD

The bankers keep telling us that the
Iavings accounts of the American PEG
pie total eighteen billion dollars.
asked dozen people what that meant
to them. Most of them seemed to see
visions of endless stacks of coins and
bales Of currency slowed away in the
vaults of fine looking granite bank
buildings.
Now. as matter Of fact. there IL
less than nine billion dollars worth
Of money In the country all told. in
Guiding gold. silver, nickel and paper
money of all kinds. That is less than
half the eighteen billion. Therefore
there must be something wrong with
the vision of eighteen billion dollars
| in stacks and bales in the bank vaults.
More than That, there probably is not
more than one dollar for every twenty
of that eighteen billion actually in
the savings bank.
But the eighteen billion in savings
bank is no myth just the same. Sup
pose all the savings depositors could
demand all their money all at once,
and that they insisted on immediate
settlement one way or another whel
they found they could not get 1t all
In cash. What would happen would
be that they would come into posses
sion chiefly of bonds-Government
state and municipal bonds and the
best railroad, equipment, public util-
ity and other corporation bonds. The
savings depositors are really the OVID
ers of all this vast real wealth.
What the bankers really mean
therefore, Is that the savings deposip
ors, so far as money Is concerned.
have deposited eighteen billion dol
lars more than they have drawn out
and therefore have credit for that
much In their savings accounts. The
dollars, themselves, that they handed
In, have flowed right on through the
banks-have been sent out to buy the
bonds. That is, the money deposits
have been used in behalf of the
depositors to buy the safests forms Of
investments. When a man buys
bond, he really rents his money out
puts it to work to earn him more
money. The savings banks have done
this for their depositors.
So the picture of idle piles Of money
Is all wrong. Even a picture of piles
of bonds is wrong If it stops at that
The bonds represent two things
First, since they are readily saleablt
for cash, they mean that any individ
ual can get his savings out again in
the form Of money within reasonable
time. Secondly, and more important,
behind those bonds loom up the rail-
roads, factories, businesses and public
works that the money invested in
them set going for the benefit Of
everyone. including the depositors !
themselves. Saving, therefore, is not !
merely accommodating money-it is &C.
cumulating real wealth. The money
flows on like water to turn other :
real wealth and savings /
Of the country are the accumulated |
factories and other enterprises evil :
denced by the bonds.
Therefore the true picture of what !
the bankers mean when they say the +
savings accounts of the American peo-
Pile total eighteen billion dollars, In
stead of piles Of money in vaults.
would be factories, railroads and pub
&c works in action.
