Race for Savings
BH SYLVIA PORTER

To the American family
with a regular thrift program,
the competition for savings
these days surely must be a
most pleasurable development.
You're being offered the
highest interest returns in the
memory of most of us.
But to those locked in the
contest to hold or attract your
savings-which includes the
Treasury and the Nations
financial institutions-the COM
petitive race is becoming an
increasingly grim business. It's
having ramif1cations which few
authorities anticipated when
interest rates really started to
rise in 1859.
AS an indication, say you are
a small investor, who since last
fall has withdrawn funds from
a bank or savings association
to put into Government securi-
ties giving you an annual in
terest return of S per cent. You
have shown yourself to be a
sophisticated investor. You may
now be earning as much as 2
per cent additional or more a
year on your nestegg.
Effects of Move
But what effect has your
shrewd move had? 1t has
taken dollars away from an
institution which would have
put them into mortgages or
new corporation bonds-there-
by helping homebuyers get
their homes and corporations
get their cash to expand.
Your move also has placed
funds in the hands of the
Treasury. to be sure - but
your money has now gone to
finance a United States mill
tary project instead of a home,
a United States farm support
program instead of a factory
expansion. Important activi-
ties, of course - but vitally
different from what your saw
ings would have been used for
had they remained where they
were.
What's more, your recent
raids" on savings deposits
have frightened many inStitu-
tionS away from making big
C o m m ents for future
mortgage loans. The mortgage
market is being hurt even
more by fears of Withdrawals
Of savings deposits than by the
Withdrawals themselves.
The background for the
fierce competition for savings
is clear.
Ever since the upsurge from
the 1858 recession began, the
demand for loans from Just
about every type of borrower
has. been intense.
Most of the nations banks
are already heavily loaned
up" and can't expand their
loans to much. if any higher
levels.
Savings Shifted Around
At the same time, we have
been cutting our rate of
savings. Last year individuals
saved about 7 cents out of
every 81 of income-after-taxes
the lowest rate in the entire
decade with the exceptions of
1850 and 1855, when we went
