Medford TRIBUNE MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 5. 1936 Thirtieth Year roll United Pre. No. 295. Full Associated Pretl u ma mum EHECT ) Avs I By PAUL MAIXOX (Copyright. 1938, by Paul Mallon) Washington; March . a re- veallng story of the economic out look lies behind the success of Sec- re t ary Morgen thau'a latest m on eyr&ialng venture. Most of the en thusiastic things which the treas ury secretary has been eaylng about It for the past few days are true. His over subscription was really on the level. The big bankers and In PAUL MALLON surance executives showed unexpect ed new eagerness for long term gov ernment securities after long dis trust. v The treasury publicity would seem to Indicate, however, that these large Investors have suddenly de cided that the New Deal Is going to be a big thing and want to get In on It In a bigger way. Also that Inflation feara have been stamped out finally and forever. That la a pretty picture for pub licity purposes, ,but a little too pretty. The underside of It la some what different, and more accurate. Everyone knows, of course, that the big Institutional Investors have not been able to make enough out of Mr. Morgenthau'a short term notes to pay their rent. They get an average of about one-half of one per cent Interest. Anyone who has tried to live off Volstead beer knows how much one-lwlf of one per cent Is. ' . ' .. . Furthermore, they seem to have come around since last December to the conclusion that the commercial money market la not going to open up wide anytime eoon. Business 1 expanding, but not at a rate to fur nish substantia! Interest returns for the banks and Insurance companies any time soon. Thus, the audden banking appe tite for Mr. Morgenthau'a long term 2'i per cent Interest bonds appear to have been developed with the wolf at the door. Inasmuch as they were getting thinner and thinner on one-half of one per cent, and not aeclng any 4, 5 or 8 per cent com mercial loans (or In fact Bny other profitable business) In the offing, they apparently decided Mr. Morgen thau's 2Vt P ccnt Interest pro posals were not so bad after all. It does not mean caviar or Cake. , but It will pay the rent.
