Interest From National Banks Great Saving
Washington May 13 The order of Secretary McAdoo that national banks after June 1 must pay two percent interest on government deposits marks a shift toward large scale saving for Americans. The 1908 to 1912 depository system favored about 1,000 banks with no interest, while 400 others earned on deposits. The House committee report cited losses to the treasury totaling tens of millions over years due to this favoritism and advertising gains for chosen banks. Secretary McAdoo aims to extend similar policy based on committee recommendations.
