D. c. BANKS SUPPLY
PAY ROLL FUNDS To
HERE
Institutions of Capital Open
to Meet "Distress Func-
tions" for Depositors.

Washington banks today brought re-
lief to hundreds of citizens by releasing
pay rol! funds which had been tied up
since last Monday when the Presidents
bank holiday proclamation went into
effect.
This action was taken on recon-
mendation of the Washington Clearing
House Association, which reached the
decision late last night that some steps
must be taken to meet actual pay roll
needs of depositors, even though the
banks are still not permitted to accept
any deposits
Clearing House officials decided that
the payments must be limited and great
care used by each bank in the amounts
distributed, absolute necessity" being
the basis for the cashing Of all these
checks.
Use Two Methods.
Today large sums Of money were re-
turning to the channels Of local trade
and the meeting of accumulated bills.
The banks were paying out the pay roll
money under Treasury regulation 10,
which relates to the cashing Of checks
for food, medicine and other necessities.
Pay rolls were being met IN two ways,
by payment Of lump sums to local cor
porations and by the cashing of checks
already given by employers to their
employees, which have been held up
during the present week. The Clear
ing House made special reference in
last nights statement to these individ-
ual checks for wages and salaries and
said the banks would pay them as fast
as they were presented, unless too
large"
Local banks are today meeting every
provision under the Treasury regula-
ton, which modified the Presidents
original holiday proclamation and per-
mits drawing Of money to meet dire
needs for food, the honoring Of drafts
for shipments of food and other essen
tial requirements of depositors. These
so-called distress functions" went into
effect yesterday, under Clearing House
recommendations and we're carried on
again today as President Roosevelt's
banking situation in Washington un-
changed as to services permitted.
Few People In Distress.
Reports made to the Clearing House
Association last night showed that de-
positors availed themselves of the right
to withdraw their deposits under per-
mission Of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury only in cases of real need. Men,

PARIS, March 10-Former Premier
Paul Painleve, following former Premier
Edouard Herriot's similar proposal yes
terday, urged today that France now
pay the debt interest which was due
the United States last December, as q
timely gesture.
Writing in the petit Parisien. he
urged the payment Of about $4,000, 900
mot to help America-she will save
herself-but to dispel the artifcally
magnified cloud between America and
us so as to realize firm accord among
France, Great Britain and the United
States"
He said this would make demo
cracies safe" in the world and avert
the direst perils."
Leaders Of the French government
party. which includes both Herriot and
Painleve, regard the rise Of Fascist
regimes in Central Europe as threat
to French democracy. Painleve sug-
gested general cancellation Of war debts
owed the United States and German
reparations last May, when his party
regained control under Herriot.

Text of Message
Asking Congress
For Drastic Cuts

TINE text Of President Roose-
velt's message to Congress
today follows:
To the Senate and House
Of Representatives:
The Nation Is deeply gratified by
the immediate response given yes
terday by the Congress to the neces-
sity for drastic action to restore and
improve our banking system. A like
necessity exists with respect to the
finances Of the Government itself,
which requires equally courageous,
frank and prompt action.
For three long years the Federal
Government has been on the road
toward bankruptcy.
For the fiscal year 1881, the deficit
was $462, 100000.
For the fiscal year 1892, 1t was
$2,472.0oo,ooo.
For the fiscal year 1888, 1t will
probably exceed 81 zoo, ,000, 900.
For the fiscal year 1884, based on
the appropriation bills passed by the
last Congress and the estimated rev.
enues, the deficit will probably exceed
$1,000, ,000,o unless immediate ac-
ton Is taken.
Thus we shall have piled up an
accumulated deficit Of $4,000, ,000, 900.
Effect on National Economy.
With the utmost seriousness. I
point out to the Congress the pro-
found effect of this fact upon our
national economy.
It has contributed to the recent
collapse Of our banking structure. It
has accentuated the stagnation Of
the economic life Of our people. It
has added to the ranks Of the un-
employed. Our Governments house
is not in order and for many reasons
no effective action has been taken to
restore 1t to order.
Upon the unimpaired credit Of the
United States Government rest the
safety Of deposits, the security Of In
surance policies, the activity Of in
dustrial enterprises, the value Of our
agricultural products. and the avail
ability Of employment. The credit Of
the United States Government def
nitely affects these fundamental hu-
man values. It, therefore, becomes
our first concern to make secure the
foundation. National recovery de-
pends upon It.
Too often in recent history liberal
governments have been wrecked on
the rocks Of loose fiscal policy. We
must avoid this danger.
Necessary to Act Now.
It Is too late for . leisurely ap-
proach to this problem. We must
not wait to act several months hence.
The emergency Is accentuated by the
necessity Of meeting great refunding
operations this Spring.
We must move with . direct and

Effective at Once.
President Roosevelt asked that the
proposed legislation 60 into effect at
once. There will be no waiting for the
beninning Of the next fiscal year, July
!, but the cuts he proposes would be-
come effective as soon as the new laws
have been written and can be admin
istered by the Executive.
The Chief Executive predicted that II
these broad powers are given him he
would be able within a year to bring
about a balanced budget. He said:
Il give you assurance that II this Is
done there is reasonable prospect thai
within a year the income of the Gov
eminent will be sufficient to cover the
expenditures of the Government"
Message Is Read.
The message of the President today,
which was read in both Houses, was his
second call within two days upon Con-
gress for emergency legislation to re-
heve conditions in this country. The
President declared that ''the Nation Is
deeply gratified by the immediate re-
to the necessity for drastic action to
restore and improve our banking sys-
tenn. A like necessity exists with re-
spect to the finances Of the Govern
ment itself, which requires equally
courageous, frank and prompt action"
He said that the members of Con-
grcss and he were pledged to immediate
economy and that he assumed that the
Congress would be in agreement with
him as to the urgent necessity of
prompt action. Declaring that the leg
islation enacted by the last Congress re-
lating to reorganization and elimination
OF executive agencies would effect small
economies when viewed in the light of
the great deficit Of the next fiscal year
and that it would not meet the pres
ent need, the President asked additional
powers.
Savings Declared Essential.
Provision for additional savings Is
essential" he said, "and, therefore, am
asking the Congress today for new leg
lslation laying down broad principles
Tor granting of pensions and other vet
erans' benefits and giving to the Execu-
tive the authority to prescribe the ad-
ministrative details"
He requested also the enactment Of
legislation relating to the salaries of
civil and military employees Of the Gov
ernment. This, he said, would repeal
the existing furlough plan, substituting
therefore general principle and au-
thorizing the Executive to make appli-
cation OF this principle" The proper
legislative function is to fix the amount
OF expenditure, the means by which 1t
Is to be raised and the general princi-
piles under which the expenditures are
