OHRSS IX WASHINGTON OX
DKCKMIlKIt I, 1007.
Mr. ProsMont and Dologatos, La
dlofl and Cientlomen:
Wo havo heard It said horo today
a number of tlmos thnt wo havo
"reached tho hrldgo" which wo must
cross beroro wo can nttnln tho goal
which Is cir objective point In this
movement ror an ndequato and na
tional system of rivers and harbors.
It Booms to mo thnt wo havo yot
to build that bridge. In other words
tho wholo quoatlon of tho construc
tion of nuch a systotn of rlvor nnd
harbor linpiovoineiits luui rosolvoU
Usolf Into a problom of how to get
tho money.
Tho peoplo at largo aro undoubt
edly favorable to such a policy, and
If the money wore avallablo Its ox
pondlturo for thnt purposo woukl b
approvod by tho genornl public.
But tho sum roquired Is stupend
ouh In amount. It would roqulro at
loast $500,000,000 within tho next
ton yours, and no doubt largo addi
tional sums would bo annually ro
quired .thoro after to onlargo and
norfoct tho svstom to mako it ndu
quate to the growing noeds of tho
commorco of tho country.
It Is not to bo wonderod at that
conservative mon' In Congress hoel
tato to ombnrk on so gigantic an
undertaking, nnd provldo tho money
bydlroct appropriation from tho cur
rent annual rovenuei or tho govern
ment. Thoy hnvo as yet no nbso
luto and positive assurance that If
they did so, political opinion In ltd
mutations would steadfastly approve
such appropriations. This is more
especially tiuo whon It is eonsldorod
thnt such improvmonts are for tho
benefit of this gonoratlon; and It
woukl seom only right thnt tho bur
den of coet should be apportioned
ovor a long sorios of years.
A construction fund of $500,000.
000 would require an avorago or
$50,000,000 por year If paid anual
ly from current revenue during 'that
period. If the muiio total sum were
spread aver a period of 100 yeara.
the total unount to be paid would
be only $6.000. 000,' a very small
amount when oompuretl with the
enonnou vuut expended mch year
by thu United Statee government.
Of t-ourf. to tkte woufal hve to be
adJed the interest, If the total sum,
wr to be provided in advanee former amounta to
imuiediate -nt ruction.
It would be a very easy matter,
looking at It from lae finaac'al
standpoint alone, to provide thU
sum tor conntruetloji as fat as
net-Jed. by the leaaanee of govern
ment bonds. We know perfectly
well that If Afc United SUUit Gov

Wo who nre gathered horo In thlfl
Congress today, In tho enthusiasm
or the niomomj, can too no objoctlon
to tho issuatico of $500,000,000 in
bonds to build the Panama Cannl
It will cost that beroro wo got

I am vory much mistaken It will

would approve, tho iswianco or bonds

Just as rapidly aH tho work or con

thero Is a way that tho money can

stroot or any or tho flnnnolal maK

tution, bank or trust company to

for us to at loast glvo tho most sor

and Uarbot'a Congress, whloh will ha
held n year from now,
The Potmaator Genorale of ill
United State havo boon ror year
advocating the establishment or n
Postal Savings Bank In this country.
Nearly every other clvlllzod country
has such an institution and Its suo
ceea and advantages have boen ioo
ofton demonstrated in othor ooun
tried to leave any doubt ns to the
benefit that would nooruo from tho
entalilUhinent or n Postal Saviug3J
Bank in the United State.
One of tho grentoet dinioultlmil
with tae flnnualal situation In the
Unltod States today la that there ar 1
ooiiotle mlllioua or dollar hidden
away in vocKingg anu private uiu
lug pUe by timid people, hiuI thu
withdrawn rrom circulHtlou and d'
lag tho country no good. It would
be a conservative esilmcte to av
that this amount of hidden iuony
withdrawn from clnwlatlon in tba.
1 hundred
million dollars. The only way
withdraw that clrenlatlng medium
from lu hiding plae and put It '
work I U eatahlleh a I'omtul Hu-
lit, Bank. The deposit in euch a
"bank co'iW be inveatud in rimnt
gtaUs bonis leued for internal 'm
Ikrovt'meBis, and the bond turn 1
over by the Treaaary rpartm m
the PoKtal Savings Bank In pitiitl
tc&tly the same war tbejr would
turned over to a prlraie tinsncUl in-
stitution
but With this dim-r.n..
T-le
deposits la the Postal lUnk
treasury wonW not eome
roluroe o, orrBcy now in tui
u equivalent
circu , . . c7rculatlnB
to amount of ,, bon,
f 8Um trft .
,aul
rerred 'from prlvato hoards to tho
Po3tal Bank would equal, it not ex
ceed, .tho amount required for con
struction bonds for many years to
come; and secondly, because tho Is
suance of bonds by tho Treasury to
tho Postal Savings Bank would not
ralso tho lmblio objection thnt would
protest against a similar Issue to
private banks.
In itho Bplendld address by tho
French ambassador today wo wore
told that Franco would expend 2,
000,000,000 franca in constructing
canals and Inland waterways. I wish
ho had gone a Btep further and told
you of tho great system for encour
aging the economy and thrift of tho
peopjo which has mado Franco tho
strongest nation financially on tho
facQ or tho earth today. Tho great
tund that paid tho war debt pf
Franco to Germany nnd from which
the French government has been
building their va9t aystom or intern
al improvements has largoly como
trom tho stockings of tho French
peasantry, doposlted flrBt In tho
Postal Savings Bank and finally re
turned to thu depositors in tho rorm
or French routes. Tho French
rente, which is a 3 por cent nonro
doomoblo cortlNcato or govornmont
bond, is ho popular with the farmers
and pensant class that 22,221,000,-
G 14 franca, or $1,288,780,504 in
routes havo boon bought, principally
by tho working peoplo of Franco,
and tho total debt or tho French na
tion amounts to only $5,878,822,
095, tho figures being ror 1905.
The groat objoctlon or difficulty
to bo ovorcomo, which has horoto
foro stood In tho way of tho adop
tion or a Postal Savings Bank in this
country hns been thnt no specific
plan wub prosontod or scorned feasi
ble for tho Investment of tho dopos
Its In such a Postal Bank. It Is
only vory recently Jhnt tho Ameri
can pooplo hnvo wakod up to a re
alization of the Immonslty or their
own probloniB, nnd showod their
willingness to ougngo upon mich
stupendous undertakings as itho
Panama Canal, or a great aystein of
Internal watorvays, requiring vast
sums ror their construction.
This tlmo hns now como ami tho
need ror tho money lor such use by
tho National Government crentos the
opportunity ror InvoHtmont or large
sums or inoiioy hy the govornmont,
thnt romoves the only fundnmontal
objoctlon to a Postal Savings Bank
In tho Uultod Stntos.
ir we had Hiioh a Postal Bank In
this country, it horo would ho de
posited In It, as .rapidly na tho gov
ornmont noolod tho monoy ror con
struction, more than $1,000,000,
000, a conHldorablo pnrt or which Is
now withdrawn rrom clroulntlon.
Tho bonds of tho Unltod Stntos
whioh would bo doposlted wUh tho
Postal Savings Bank, would ropre-sor-t
a dobt to a largo body or small
Ind'vidual depositors. Whon tho In
toroat on tho coupons wns paid hy
thoVTroasury Dopartmont
to tho
turn bo
- ' 'r
Postal Bank, it would In
paid out through tho Postal Bank to
tho multitude of peoplo who were
deiKsltors therein.
There Is no doubt whatover of the
practicability of tho plan I havo sug
gested. In othor oountrlog oxporl
M,oe has demonstrated that a Pouta!
Bank, Instead of Injuring the pri
vate hanking system, has benefited
It; and the Postal Savings System
whloh has boon for yoara In success
ful operation in so many other
countries polnU the way to iu to
provide all the money w need for
