C., Sept. 5 The anti-money hoarding campaign launched by Secretary McAdoo against National banks, particularly those which have received federal crop moving money, or which have taken out emergency currency, was broadened to take in the State insti- tutions. g Mr. McAdoo’s tetegram to the State banking superintendents fol- lows: 2 “Reports now being received by the (‘omplroll‘er of the Currency from National banks throughout the country, indicate that a money scar- city is being occasioned in large measure because of the hoarding of funds by many National banks, which are carrying reserves, in gome cases twc or three times as great as required by law, and also that cred- its are being restricted and exces- sive rates of interest are being charged to customers. There is at this time more currency in the coun- try than at any time in its previous history, there having been issued through the treasury department since Aug. 4 more than $300,000,- 000 of additional National bank cur- rency, which, together with the re- laxation in business, shoaid create an abundance of loanable funds. “This department will withdraw government deposits from banks found to be hoarding money and charging excessive rates of interest and will redeposit them with banks whose funds are being loaned at reasonable rates to meet the legiti- mate demands of business and for moving the crops. “This department would like very much to have your co-operation in its efforts to remedy these unsatis- factory conditions, and respectfully asks if it would not be pcssible for you to sccure from all State banks and trust companies in your State statements which will show their cash reserves as of a recent date, the rates of interest which they are charging on existing loans, and the rates which they are demanding for new accommodations and give this department the benefit of the infor- mation disclosed by these reports. “It is confidently believed that if all banks can be persuadcd to use their resources intellizently and con- siderately and at reasonable rates ot interest to meet the legitimate de- mands in their respective communi- ties, the whole situation can Dbe greatly relieved and business re- stored to a satisfactory, if not an en- tirely normal basis.

Several peers and members of par- liament who have for long shown an interest in the scheme declare that instead of proving of assistance to the enemy, a channel tunnel would have been a supreme assistance ‘im transporting the British army. They declare they will continuwe the advocacy of the tunnel at the end of the war. The precautions suggested to prevent the tunnel be- ing made use of for an invasion of England include the flooding of a dip in the tunnel, commanding exits with guns that could not be silenced from the sea, and an electric button that might touch off the explosion to destroy a part of the tunmel it necessary. ’ London, Sept.
