DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER

Wnahjngion.-vpres Hoover urged ali hoarders of money, ns Il patriotic duty, 10 forget their fears and restore their "slieker dollars to circulation by conservative iH- vestiGent or deposit in "sound' banks.
 That led certain pnpeftnen. anxious 10 help. to inquire around ns to how Il timid b0nrder might determine accurately whether I given bank was sound. No entirely satisfactory recipe Wns obtained.
 The most common advice is that one consult a banker in whom one hns confidence. But it Is obvious enough that tbe hoarder,s now es- timatcd fo have 4i.300 .00G 900 hid~ den away. lack complete confidence in bankers.
 It Is also admitted that fDany citizens cannot figure out very much or the basis of bhnk state. msnts. since they do not demon strnte the extent of iiguidity. and because banks have failed. not he' eessariiy because they were un" sound but obtsb because dep0stors became frightened and began to withdraw their money in large amounts.
 still being anxious 10 do some thing about this dangerous hohrd" Ing, however, one turns to con siderntion of the Postal Savings system--oftlcihlIy referred to hs n refuge of the timid," In other words. postal savings is considered the h0nrder's 'hnven. There Is nl. ways h rush to it in times of ds- pression and doubt. which Is why in ths Inst 90 months the Dumbsr of postal savings dep0sitofs has ih' creased from 417.0D0 to t,t77. .0ga and deposits have pumped from Yt54, 900. 900 t0 E69g, 900, 900.
 "''he faith Of the United States Of America Is solemnty pledged te the payment of deposits with hc- ertied interest" The handsome postal savings deposit certificates which one receives in iieu of Il | bnnkbo0k and come in deh0mlbh- tons of from fl to 5b60. give tbe deposit0r that if0h.c1nd assurance But, although the federal gov ernnent thus guarantees the ds' D0sit. interest s paid it thT rate of only Z per cent. Money hidden in the old sock ot in the mattress Is always the0fetl' cnljy in danger and draws no ih' terest. Some people go crazy W0r' ryihg about fl. But the reason pos tni savings deposits are now con sidsfed vastly preferable t0 hoard ipgs. from Inc broad national pa' triotie viewpoint advanced D, Hoover. k that the sovernnehl loans lhs deposited money to thf banks, which. instead of thei' ordinary rata of interest on savings deposits. only havs t0 pay the gov ernmeht 2 i4y per cent for its use Thus the money gets back into th' credit system.
