An air- plane view of the city during the late weeks of Winter discloses the steel skel- etons of many new structures breaking the skyline. The newspapers, the trade the women's clubs all itched in to keep the movement in 1l swing, and finally clergymen in all the churches appealed to their congre- gations to create as much work as pos- sfble to relieve unemployment during the cold weather. It is out of com- munity organization of this type that the best results come. I know that nu.nbr other cities have tackled the lem in the same way. I mention g‘xflldelphh. not to single it out for greater praise, but because I h:gpen to be familiar with what happened there. ‘Toward the latter part of the Winter I have heard some whispered complaints about the slowness of the Federal Gov- ernment itself in carrying through its own extensive program. Private indus- try, having responded so splendidly to the President’s call, has wondered why there is no visible evidence of unusual activity in Federal projects. In many cities are holes in the ground awaiting the foundations of new it offices, and in many of these holes dur- ing the cold months there has been no sign of progress. Federal Processes Involved. If 1t 18 fair to ask why Uncle Sam takes an unconscionably long time to get started, it is also fair to explain that Uncle S8am’s processes are neces- sarily more involved than those of the manufacturer who needs & new build- ing. ‘The manufacturer calls in board of or his executive staff and the outlines of the plan can be ar- rived at in a single afternoon.

This is the way out.” And he hur- rled the dazed youngster through the back deoy. (Copyright, 1930.) U. S.

Even the .| credits and abatements allowed since 1922, officials ?oim out, have amounted to less than $2,000,000,000. That, the Secretary has declared to be a record hard to equal. He is not and does not take exception to honest criticism, which he holds to be desir- able for efficiency in government, but he does not see the fairness of criti- cism in such matters as this because . | there is an occasional refund of several millions to a single taxpayer.

Avoids Disturbing Business. ‘The policy of Mr. Mellon with re- spect to the public credit has been to e | carry on the financial operations of the Government with the least pos- sible disturbance to business or to in- dividuals. In discussing that policy re- cently he referred to the difficulties that confronted the Government during the Spanish-American War when the mar- ket had to be prepared for the flotation of a bond issue of only $200,000,000 and the whole operation carried through with the greatest care. “Compare the difficulty of that rel- atively small undertaking,” he said, “with the ease with which the Govern- ment's vast financial operations can be earried on today. Last year (1928) these operations involved more than 12-month period the Government collected more than $4,000,000,000, chiefly from cus- toms duties and income taxes. It out a like amount; and, in addition to this, made provision for the third Lib- erty loan which came due in September and amounted, at the time refunding commenced, to more than $2,- mature on quarterly tax payment dates, and the proceeds, generally speaking, are left on deposit at interest with the subscribing banks, to be withdrawn into the Federal Reserve banks from time to time as needed during the succeeding quarter for the Government's current expenditures. Money Kept in Circulation. “When the tax payments are re- ceived they are used to pay off, in whole or in part, these certificates, or notes, maturing on the same date, and in this way transactions often involving half a billion dollars or more on each side are cleared through the banks in the course of a few days without in- volving the withdrawal of these vast sums from general circulation, even for a single day. The Government is there- by enabled to carry on its financial operations with the least possible dis- turbance to the business life of the ccuntry.” Mr. Mellon has been a banker most of his life. More than 50 years ago, he has told his friends, he began to learn the business by taking down the shut- ters of his father’s bank in Pittsburgh, and there is not a time which he now can recall, after he left the University of Pittsburgh, when he did not have some connection with banking. But banking has not been his only fleld. As he grew in that fleld and lent money to men engaged in business he !M it necessary to learn something about those businesses for his own pro- tection and that of his banks. It is re- lated of him and his brother, R. B. Mellon, that in 1873, when they were in lumber and real estate, they sensed &hcco':llnaotplnlelnumetogetout unscathed. Mellon Walks for Exercise.
