Hoover urges higher rates to spur postal savings banks
Western New York dispatch reports former secretary Hoover testifying before a Senate reconstruction committee. He argues higher interest on postal savings could lift national savings, aid depositors, and justify government competition with private banks. He favors 2 percent annual returns, quarterly at 1 percent, backed by government support and safety. He proposes a Farm Loan Bank–style institution rather than broad tax exemptions for new construction. A separate note mentions a new U S Army airplane with armor plate and Liberty engines.
