Warbaug in Address Warns Public Not to Make Reserve Banks Mere Cwnm.rcifl Institutions—Self- ishness the Only' Danger. Charlotte, N. C., Nov. 23.—One years test of the federal reserve bank sys- tem has shown its superiority over the central bank plan, according to Paul M. Warburg, of the federal reserve, who spoke here tonight at a dinner given by the mayor of Charlotte. Rederal Reserve System Superiority. “Some of my friends,” said Mr. War- burg, “have stated that they ‘believe me to be a central bank man. If I were free today to choose for this country between one central bank or a systeg constructed upon the federal reserve principle I should choose the latter. The federal reserve system properly developed to its hightest ef- ficlency, will give the country the ad- vantages of a central bank, which, in substance, are centralization of re- serves and mobilization of commercial paper; but at -the same time it avoids complete centralization, which, while assuring higher efficiency and easier operation, would in our country prove\a source of danger and attack.” Not Mere Commercial Institutions. Mr. Warburg said a year had shown what the system could do, bat warn- ed his hearers traat they should keep it as it is and not attempt to have the reserve banks become mere com- mercial institutions. He said he must refrain ffom comment on the Anglo- French $500,000,000 loan, but that without the federal reserve system, the country “¢ould not have been in a position even to consider a loan trans- action of this magniture.” Se¢lfish Interests Dangerous. “The greatest danger that comes to this system,” Mr. Warburg added, “is from the pressure of selfish.elements that would want to see the system used for their town individual advan- tage. The system must show its value to this country, not by what it does for the individual, but what it does for the entire nation.” Accumulation of Gold. Mr. Warburg called attention to the work done by the banks in the days following the outbreak of the war, to their gradual dccumulation of a gold reserve and the developments in American banking. “With rapid atfldea." he said, “we are approaching a position of world bank- ers.” DEFENSE AND REVENUES FEATURES OF MESSAGE Cabinet a Unit on What Character of Document Should Be. ‘Washington, Nov. 23.—President Wilson's next annual address to con- gress, it was learned definitely tonight, will be devoted primarily to a discus- sion of national defense and the sub- ject of revenues, though it will refer to other legislative questions which the president expects congress to act on during the coming session. The president has not completed the message, to which he has devoted practically all of his time for the last week. He discussed subjects to be dealt with at today’s cabinet meeting and unanimity of opinion was reach- ed by the official family as to what should be the general character of the document. Reasons for strengthening the army and navy at this time will be empha- sized at length by President Wilson. “For defense” will be the keynote of his argument and declaring that the United States has a humanitarian mis- sion of peace in the world, he will in- sist that under present conditions, when all urope is at war, the United States must be ready to defend its right to independent and unmolested action. The continental army plan proposed by Secretary Garrison for the training of 400,000 citizen soldiers in the next three vears in annual contingents of 133,000 is to be strongly supported. In addition to national defense the president will take up conservation measures, including the water power and mineral land leasing measures which failed of passage at the last session. He is known to be as much in favor of these bills as ever. Two other subjects to be included in the message are the bill giving a zreater degree of self-government to the Philippines and rural credits leg- islation. VILLA FORCES HAVE ESCAPED OBREGON NET — Body of an Engineer, Said to Be an American, Riddled with Bullets. Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 23.—The Villa forces holding Cananea have escaped from the net spread by General Al- varedo Obregon, the Carranza com- mander-in-chief.
