National Postal Bank Report

BUEONOS AIRES Especially. - The
steady almost phenomenal, growth of
the saving habit in Argentina is ex-
emplifled in the report of the National
Post Oflce Savings Bank. The report
shows that on June 80, 1929, the postal
savings system carried 1,267,837 live ac-
counts, representing in all $91 1,2l0,503

The nearly 1,500 900 persons who reg
ularly deposit their savings with the
post Office department are nearly IL per
cent of the total population of the
nation, according to the latest census
reports. The report further shows that
the number who patronize the postal
savings bank is steadily increasing,
which serves to vindicate the existence
of the bank, for 1t is pointed out that
on its establishment a storm of criti-
clSm resulted.
Only one peso (42 cents) is necessary
