STOP DEPRESSION IN BONOS President Would Put Money in Government Twos. NO INJURY TO OTHER BANKS Interest Too Low to Draw Away De posits Xo Deposit Guaranty for Tart Will Confer With Senator Aldrich Today. BEVERLT, Mass., Aug. 25. President Taft indicated In talks with callers to day that In his message to Congress next December he will strongly urge the early establishment of postal sav ings banks. The President believes that several hundred millions of dol lars would be placed at the Govern ment's disposal through postal savings banks.

Already the bonds are selling below par, and there is fear of further depression. Would Appeal to Timid. The President believed the postal banks would appeal to the timid per sons who are afraid to trust ordinary banks, and would rather get the small Interest the Government would pay than place money In the regular savings banks. By placing the interest to be allowed by postal banks at less than 2 per cent Mr. Taft Is convinced that no harm would be done to ordinary banks of commerce, for discriminating person who now patronize these banks would not withdraw money drawing him in terest and place it under Government care at half the interest offered by or dinary savings banks. To Guaranty of Deposits. The President expressed himself as unalterably opposed to a guaranty of bank deposits. He declared he did not believe in making one set of bankers responsible for another set. Tomorrow the President will confer with Senator Aldrich, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and with Senator MacVeagh. Postal banks will have a share In the discussion. Mr. Taft had a long talk today with Amos P. Wilder, American Consul Gen eral at Shanghai, China, and discussed with him the opportunities for extend ing American trade In that Empire.
