By the Associated Press. | {SULLIVAN, Ind., July 4—A billion i | dollars which should be in circulation to assist the coming industrial revival is being hoarded in American stockings, Will H. Hays, Postmaster General, de- clared yesterday in announcing plans for revision of the postal savings sys- tem to make it attractive to potential depositors. Through his reorganization -plans Mr. Hays hopes to draw the hoarded wealth of the country out of its hid- ing places and into useful channels, The present treatment of depositors in the postal savings bank, he said tonight, after conferences with middle western bankers, amounts “almost to fraud,” while the government has ' profiteered at the expense of the de- positors to the sum In the last year alone of $1,720,000. | His generai west at_conferences held in Wash- New York, Terre Huute and home here. Mr. Hays assured nkers that he had no intention of entering the postal savings bank in competition with private savings banks, but rather hopes to make & valuable feeder as established of Congress to make the interest rate banking institutions. While asking double the average paid now, he pointed out it would still be below the average paid by the majority of savings banks. Has Wide Scope. Private banks are not and_ cannot hope to réach the vast hoarded wealth which offers a particular field for postal savings expansion, Mr. #¢|Hays said. He pointed out that 70 [} Iper cent of the present 505,000 de- positors are of (c cign extraction, | [and that they, as well as othess of | [their countrymen who are accus- tomed to postal savings systems abroad, will trust no onme but the United States government. To reach this fleld of potential de- | [positors, Mr. Hays plans the follow- | |Ing basic changes in the present pos- T R E tal system: 1. Increase the interest from 2 to 3 per cent. 2. Payment of Interest on deposits |8l {held less than one year. |8l | 3. Removal of the restriction {El |against depositors under ten years | [of age. [ [k g Erovistons for joint and trust fund: nds. 5. Establishment of postal savings bagks in 50,000 post offices instead of | {the present 6,300. 6. Compensation for fourth-class postmasters on the basis of the de- posits they handle. 7. Redeposit of the funds in local | |banks with more liberal qualification rules for such depositories. S. An enlarged board of directors, including a representative of the fed- i or more civilians. Common Sense Needed. “There Is a lot of business in this country that is really sick, still stag- gering under the shell shock of war and the debauch of extravagance. Mr. Hays said, “but there is a good deal more than is merely malingering. What we need more than anything else is the common sense and courage and confidence. There 1s, of course the greatest era of expansion and prosperity ahead that the world has ever seen. Every one knows this, fland the only question discussed is when it will start. Well, it is time to go out and meet it. This we pro- pose to help to do so.” The Postmaster General declared | that the hundreds of thousands of postal savings depositors are prac- | tically being defrauded because their certificates specifically state that 2 per cent interest is paid on deposits and do not state that nothing is paid on deposits held less than one year. Because of this system, he sald, the average interest paid on all money held was one 1% per cent. His state- ment ‘{ollowa: e S “It is very certaln the - ings system must be reformed. With a treatment of depositors that has amounted almost to fraud, with the number of offices receiving deposits reduced from 12,823 in 1912 to 6314 in 1920, and with no real effort to secure deposits, the postal savings. nevertheless, has practically twice as many depositors as any other savings bank in the country and pays less than half as much interest on de- posits. Profit Made in Interest. «With §161,000,000 on deposit last year from 508,000 depositors, and with the law providing that 2 per cent interest be paid, the govern- ment, because of the system, paid less than 1% per cent interest to those depositors and, by redepositing at 215 per cent interest, made a net profit over all ln;oeg%%t payments and xpenses of $1,720,000. X iis was sheer profiteering. This money belonged to the depositors. The certificates issued unequivocally pledge 2 per cent interest and fail to] fay anything whatever about no in- ferest being paid if the deposits are not left for a year. The government is not in the banking business for profit. The government is in_ the banking business to facilitate and in- crease the national savings and to promote economy and thrift. ‘The Postal savings has not scratched the surface, notwithstanding the mag- nificent conception of public duty that inspired its founding. Not to Compete With Bankp. *postal savings shall not compete with savings banks. We do not want Gepositors from savings banks. But there is a tremendous hoarded wealth in the country, estimated by many well inforced at a billion dollars. The savings banks connot bring it out The postal savings has mot yet brought it out. Nothing can bring it out but the faith in the security of the government of the United States and a larger interest return on the deposits, and the acquainting of the holders 'with our purpose atndd their rtunity. This we hope to do. PR Diition dollars can be brought out of stockings and closets and saved from waste and ‘wild cats' it will do incalculable good. This mon- oy is needed in_ circulation nmow. It wil make general bank depositors and ultimate government bond owners out of the timorous; it will give small capital a chance for an honest return the same as large capital; it will fur- nish the tonic to conclude the busi- ness convalescence in the country and will help to make economy and thrift a national trait which is much needed.” e e PLAN NEW PACIFIC CABLE.
