Radical New Departures
From Present Setup
Held Unnecessary.
By DUNCAN u. FLETCHER
Chairman Banking and Currency
Written EXPRESSLY For The Times


WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 have
heard so many complaints about our
present banking system not being
suited to modern life that I de-
cided to try and pin down some Of
these critics and see what changes
they would really suggest.
So I sent QUESTIONABLE through
out the country to all persons and
groups supposed to have some ideas
on this subject.
haven't read all the answers, but
there are no end of suggestions
offered. They range from establish
ing a central bank to the proposal
that the Federal Government take
over and finance everything. That
of course means the end of private
industry and I don't believe we are
ready for that.
In fact it may be that the Gov
eminent is financing too much al
ready. If they forecloSe the mort
gage on defaulted loans now they
would own railroads, banks and
most every kind of industry. Pers-
onally believe that it would be bet
ter to put banking back into the
hands of private bankers and lend
ing agencies than to have the Gov
eminent finance everything.
In my opinion the banking lays
were modified sufficiently at the

last session to care for the situation.
We ought at least give these laws
an opportunity to function before
we proceed with additional changes
Some minor notifications may be
necessary, such as making deposit
guaranty more permanent. Then
there is also the matter Of small
business credit which may need
action. But all necessary change can
be brought within the scope Of the
present setup and we need no rad
ical new departures from it.
One of the answers I got most
frequently to my QUESTIONABLE was
that we do not have sufficiency cur
rency. Well the fact is that we
have plenty of currency and the
only trouble is that it isn't in circu-
lation. The banks are stuffed with
it and the problem is to get it pass
ing around again.
This only can be done by restora-
ton of private business. I don't be-
lieve in Government ownership.

BOND MARKET SANGUINE

Dy CHtttu FftOS
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The bond
market looks ahead with confidence
to 1885, having during 1884 COM
pleted its third consecutive year Of
rising prices. Trading set a new
record since 1924.
This confidence, increasingly evil
dent during the last year, was based
on several factors, among which two
were prominent, better business and
a striking recovery III federal, state
and municipal credit.
Rising industrial activity, with
attendant increased earnings and
dividend disbursements, was re-
flected in sweeping gains by bonds
of industrial, railroad and public
utility corporations.
Advances of industrials, incluG-
ing issues of mining, rubber, drug,
steel, automobile, coal, oil and spe-
cialty companies, ranged from 4 to
more than IS points. Many touched
the highest prices in years.

ADVANCES OF 1884
AID CHILE'S OUTLOOK
Beneficial Exchange Reform
Pushed at Year End.
By United Press

By United Press
SANTIAGO, Dec. 81. - Uninter-
rupted commercial and industrial
recovery in Chile in the past year
frightened the outlook for 1885.
The Exchange Control Board,
from Jan. l to Oct. 81, 1884,
issued foreign exchange permits
triple the value Of those granted in
the corresponding period of 1888
Beneficial exchange reform was
pushed at the year-end when the
Central Bank of Chile fixed the Off
cial exchange rate at 1922 pesos to
the dollar and 1896 pesos to the
pound sterling.
Previously, official rates had been
9.61 pesos to the dollar and 4748 to
the pound, while the commercial
rate, or exchange in the free market
held steady around Is pesos to the
dollar.

Proud of your home? Well
you would be if this particular
house happened to be yours, for

spect. Four exceptionally large
bedrooms, the master bedroom
having French windows, leading
to a porch. I liked the living

with its huge wood-burning fire
place and ornate side lights. Off
the living room and across the
front of the house was a screen

While away many pleasant
hours. Big reception hall off
which was a winding stairway
which carried you upstairs, adds
much to the appearance of the
house. When you consider this
house is detached, on a corner,
in fashionable Chevy Chase,
with a two-car garage, as well
as most modern appointed
kitchen including electric re-
frigeration, I think it is won
derful bargain at $13,500.
1890 FLORIDA AVE. N. E.:
This brick, row house I Wis
ted had been completely redec-
GRATED throughout. The floors
were a dark mahogany stain
and the woodwork was oak,
which make a very striking
contrast. While this house has
only six rooms 1t is very we'll
arranged and the kitchen was
not only gay with it's bright
colored linoleum and new range
in green and yellow. it also
was much larger than the
average kitchens of today.
Off the kitchen was a break
fast porch all screened in.
The second floor consisted of
three bedrooms, two large and
one small, and bath. AS this
house only sells for $4,950 I was
amazed at the value offered. 1t
is screened throughout; has a
splendid heating plant and a
large back yard. 1t is located
within a block or two of two

Leaving the Northeast I turn

compact home consisting of six
rooms and bath, all newly dec
grated, and two porches. The
kitchen was especially appeal
ing, as the walls we're of bright
colored sanitex, that marvellous
wall covering that can be
washed off so easily; shining
new stove in green and yellow:
and gayly patterned linoleum,
as we'll a. an electric refriger-
ator. In the living room the
lighting fixtures were especially
attractive, as they were repro
ductions of the colonial type.
Off the dining room was a
screened-in porch where you
have an excellent view of an
immense yard. The upper floor
arrangement consists of three
bedrooms, a bath with tub and

cts. This is an exceptional buy
for many reasons, chief among
them being the proximity of
schools, stores and transporta-
tion. I recommend this home.
