HOW THE BANKS AID
TF':': GOVERNMENT
Normal and Emergency Needs
Met bv Advances of Com
mercial Banking Credit

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. ]. = The
American commercial banking credit
system Is an absolute essential In the
financial operations of business and
government, Harold G. Moulton. Presi
dent Of the Brookings Institution OF
Washington. d. c.. said here recently in
an address before the Graduate School
OF Banking conducted under the joint
auspices OF Rutgers University and the
American Bankers Association.
II the fiexibility and expansibility
provided by commercial banking credit
were eliminated. DR.. Moulton declared.
"it is scarcely too much to say that the
economic system itself would shortly be
destroyed.
NORMALLY the amount of credit ex.
tended by commercial banks to the gov
eminent Is small in amount and for the
purpose mainly OF financing temporary
requirements in anticipation of tax col
lections or bond sales But in reriods OF
war and acute depression, when the
financial requirements Of government
expand with great rapidity, the expan-
sion Of commercial bank credit is on a
tremendous scale. Such is the case at
the present time.
How Public Needs Are Financed
"The purchase of government securi.
ties by individuals and by the CONNER.
cial banks provides the government
with the means by which its manifold
activities are financed. The Treasury
obtains the funds, with which the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
and other government credit agencies
finance their operations. through the
sale OF securities, largely to commercial
banks. These funds, in turn, have gone
to the assistance of distressed banks
and other financial institutions, to aid
industrial and agricultural enterprises.
to finance new public and private CAPT.
tai construction, and to provide relief to
the unemployed"
DR.. Moulton declared that 1t is not
true that the world depression was
caused by breakdown of the American
banking system (which did not, in fact.
occur until the depression had been
under way for more than three years"
He added:
"Nor Is It true that the world NAL.
adjustments existing in 1929 can be es
planned simply by undue extensions OF
commercial banking credit In the pre-
ceding years These Embellishments IN.

FARM ACCOUNTING
REVEALS LESSONS

An analysis made of detailed records
kept by group Of Wisconsin farms
revealed several important lessons and
the principles of sound business man
agement derived from them apply
equally we'll to other farms, says an
article in the Bulletin of the Agricul.
tural Commission of the American
Bankers Association. The article says:
Investment costs, including inter.
est, depreciation. repairs, taxes and in
surance, are approximately two.thirds
Of all farm costs. Furthermore, these
costs are largely independent Of the
production program of the farm.
"This means that If farmer cuts
his production Of crops or livestock,
he increases his investment costs per
unit Of product produced, as smaller
number of units must then carry as
large an expense load as before. This
illustrates the Importance. from the
standpoint Of costs. of operating a
farm at or near capacity,
Investment mistakes are more cost
b than many others because they can
not easily be corrected. If farmer
pays too much for his farm. his invest
ment costs will be abnormally high as
long as he owns 1t. II he constructs a
$4,000 barn, when $4,000 barn would
have served his purpose, he will have
excessive barn costs, year after year,
during the entire service life Of the
structure.
"This emphasizes the Importance Of
a knowledge Of investment values and
the specific investment requirements
of individual farms.
Determining Real or False Economies
I'm working for greater economy. It
II essential that the farm manager be
able to distinguish between a real and
a false saving. This can be done only
through q careful estimate Of the con-
trfbution to income. over period of
time, Of each item of expenditure. Only
II more is saved in expense than will
b lost In income. can a contemplated
cut In expense be designated as a real
saving.

Substantial savings can be effected
% many farms through the use Of

HIGHER ROLE SEEN
FOR ADVERTISING
Bruce Barton Urges Use to
Lead Public to Better
Standards.
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON, July 1.-The part adver-
tising will play in the future life Of
the Nation was envisioned today by
Bruce Barton of New York in a
speech before the Advertising Fed
Grafton OF America.
I'VE have thought of advertising as
tool for selling goods, and it is a
powerful tool" the advertising execu-
tive told delegates to the federation's
annual convention.
Il ask you to think Of it for the
future in higher terms: AS a power
that can be used to raise the stand
ard of living; as power that can
foster understanding between industry
and its customers and workers, be-
tween class and class, between Sec
tion and section in these United
States"
Barton said advertising ought to
rise above the level of the public
taste, to lead rather than follow, but
certainly in the last few years it has
not"
Greed for sales has broken down
barriers; appeals and claims that
ought never to have been printed or
uttered have cast a shadow of sus-
picion over the whole institu-
tinn ="
Asserting that industrys major
problem in the future will be public
relations, Barton declared industry
is going to be compelled by law and
by public opinion to conduct its af-
fairs in the open.
Its principal need will be to know
what the American people think,
what they want, and what they are
going to do

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 1.-Continuing
its better-than seasonal sprint, electric
power production in the week ended
June 27 moved to another new all
time peak.
The Associated Press index Of
electricity output. with l929-30 taken
as 100, advanced to 1l1.2 from 1l0.5 in
the previous week, and 989 year
previous.
The index is adjusted for seasonal
and long-term trend. The range Of
recent years follows:
1886 1885 1884 1888
High ------ 111.2 1865 97.4 919
Low -- 1920 GAL 919 80.2
Actual production, as reported by
the Edison Electric Institute, totaled
2,029 $4,000 kilowatt hours, an in
crease of IL per cent over production
of zoos ,243,000 in the previous week
which was also a new high, and an
increase of 14.5 per cent over the out
put of 1,772,l38,OOO in the same week
in 1885.
The same set of factors that have
operated to keep production at peak
levels during the past several weeks
was mainly responsible for the cur
rent showing. These included heavy
consumption by steel mills and heavy
pumping operations in some sections
Of the West. where there has been a
lack Of moisture.
All major geographical centers re-
ported gains over year ago. The

HOSPITALS GET
A.B.C. RULING

In the future when application
for a liquor store license in the
vicinity Of a hospital is made, the
District Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board will judge the case
on its individual merits, rather
than recommend a change in
regulations to ban sale Of hard
liquor" within a certain distance
of all hospitals.
This policy was decided upon
after a public hearing yesterday.
Representatives Of military, pub
lie and private hospitals expressed
their views. The hearing was
called as the result of a contro-
versy which arose when the board
licensed liquor store near Walter
Reed Hospital. The hospital
authorities objected, but Secretary
of War Harry H. Woodring ap-
proved.
Mai. Gen. Frederick w. Cole
man, of the Soldiers Home Hos
pital, advocated liquor stores be
kept at least two blocks from the
home gates. Evan H. Tucker, vice
president of Casualty Hospital,
urged that a ban to four blocks
from hospitals be established, and
was backed by DR.. Edgar A.
Bocock, of Gallinger.
Other spokesmen included DR..
Lewis H. Taylor, of Sibley Hos
pital; Capt. G. C. Thomas, of
Naval Hospital; Col. P. M. Ash
burn, of Columbia Hospital, and
DR.. Lawrence Jackson, of Freed
mems Hospital. All told the board
they experienced no trouble with
stores now located in the vicinity
of their institutions.
