Advantage in Holding NoteaThe National City Rank, in its Do-

comber circular, issued before the Mor¬gans had cancelled the offering of Brit¬ish Hnd French Treasury bills, disrusses

.¦ -natter at some length. The opinionof the Federal Reserve Hoard express¬ing the view that Treasury bills issuedby countries engaged in the war are

likely to prove, when collectively con¬sidered, an unliouid asset in the handsof American bSUBBS, and that such hold¬ings, if large, may eventually interferewith the accommodations which thebanks are under obligations to give tothe home public, has the approval ofthe bank.

"It is not a question of whether ournew supplies of money and credit shallhe invested in liquid domestic loans or

unliquid foreign loans; the choice israther between unliquid dome-itie loansand liquid foreign ones," it adds.

Foreign Demand for Gold"It is always good for a bank to keep

liquid. Why? In order that it may haveavailable resources to meet any dsmands that may come upon it in thefuture. From what quarter are the me itserious demands likely to come upon'ho country in the roar future? We do

leation the ability of tha Federalreserve system to take iuro of anyhome demands. Its no'e issuing power.«give ample protection against these.But even the Reserve Board is not san¬

guine that the gold resources of theReserve banks are equal to the possibledemand-' for irold for exportation. The«»Treasury bills, however, falling due atconsecutive dates, will serve a- offsetslor equal amounts of gold. So long as

any are held in this country they willgive control over the gold situation."With the abstract opinion that the

banks of this country ought not to tieup an undue «hure of their resources inforeign Treasury bills, or any one classof paper, no issue, of course, can betaken. A national bank is prohibited bylaw from lending more than 10 per centof its capital and surplus to any on*borrower, and although the Controllerhas ruled that this does not apply tothe obligations of governments, we re¬

gard the rule as a good one to followupon general principles. Even that is

probabiy more than a bank is likely to

lend to a borrower who has no claim»upon it for accommodation.«. The pur-

| of our comments is simply to pro*tent the views of those who hold thatthere is danger in continuad accumula-'.ons of gold, ar.-l that short time obii-gâtions which will serve as ».(Tsets toforeign demands lor gold may be tn thenot distant futuro an extremely dc-«irable class of assets."

FINANCE WORRIES BRITAIN"New Statesman" Saya It la Running

behind £1,000,000,000 a YearLondon, Dec 1. -"The New States-'

man"' «ay«: "Tho«e who have a fingerop t'i» financial pulse have lately beenfeeling increasingly uneasy about thenation's expenditure. Wo are tlto continue the spending of £4.000,o00.-0."> a year, when at rnoit we have

'100.000 to do it with."That Is why the Chancellor of th»

Fxche«'tier has not only been driven toborrow from the United State» on ex¬

tremely generous terms and to take-non of nearly all of our market-

i>b!n foreign investments in order to

pawn them at New York, but is aliocompelled to borrow from hand to

mouth from bankers there in order to

keep exchange from going to a danger¬ously adverse figure."The newspaper adds that the deficit

can he made up from the accumulatedwealth only to a limited extent, be¬cause it is not in the form in which itcan pass immediately into conaump-tion, and, much more, cannot be 6oidto neutrals, even the prosperousUnited State«, because there i» a near

limit even to the amount that can be

spared.It is argued that the aggregate public

and private expenditure must belimited to a sum increasingly near theannual product'on, and that £500,000.-"00 retrenchment can be effected bythe better paid workers and those withincomes above the income tax mini¬mum.
