BANKS "PATRIOTIC" Saved Hrnzil From Involution, Money Trust Witness Helieves, AND orAHDKP QVU TRADE Sielkin Says There Is No Trust mid Valorization Didn't Hoost the Price. Wjsiiinoto.v, Mny If.. The participa tion of America! hankers In the nrnr.lt Ian coffee nlorlzatlon scheme was de scribed to-day to the House Money Trust Committee by ilermait Sellcken of Crossmnn ft Sellcken of New York, the leading gnen coffee dealers. Samuel I'literniyer. of counsel for the commit tee, examined Mr. Sellcken and devel oped that the National City Hank, J. P. Morgan & Co. nnd the First Xntlonal Hank, all of N'ew York, gave llnnnclnl assistance to the Hraxlllnn Government In Its effort to limit the production of coffee and maintain prices at a figure profitable both lo the Hrazlltan planters nnd the American and European coffee dealers. Mr, Slelcken attributed patriotic mo tives to the National City Hank, de claring that the aid given by this bank was of bfnplit to the Cnlted States In Its commercial relations with Urazll. As to his own part In the valorization scheme he challenged the Attorney General to discover anything Illegal In his actions. "My business has been pried Into by the Attorney. General and by a Grand Jury nnd my connection with this valorization scheme has been criticised by the counsel for this committee," said Mr. Slelcken. "Don't you understand that we have a right to sec if the mnnev of our banking Institutions Is being used to Increase prices to the consumers of the country?" asked Mr. 1'ntermver. Mr. Slelcken said he did not agree to that proposition. Mr. Slelcken said that conditions of the business might have led to a revo lution had not the Government taken a hand to remedy the situation. He said the price of coffee had been depressed through overproduction to such n point that It became necessary for the Gov ernment to exercise Its "paternal right. He described the tax that was placed on the planting of corfce, but Insisted that this had a tendency to curb the production nnd not prohibit or prevent It, ns Mr. I'ntermyer sought to show. Mr. Cntermyer Interrupted to ask the witness's opinion ns to which would have been worse. "Revolution In Sao Paulo or 14 cents a pound coffee for the consumers?" Mr, Slelcken argued that the price of coffee would have been II cents a pound Just the same and even higher had not the valorization scheme been put Into operation. Mr. I'ntermyer quoted from tables to show that for several .years the production of coffee amounted to only 6,000,000 bags r.nd sold around 7 cents n pounds. He said with the production of 14,000,000 bass the price had been advanced to around 1 1 cents a pound, and he in sisted that this had been accomplished by withholding the surplus coffee from the market. Concerning the financing of the val orization icheme. Mr Slelcken admitted that he engineered the deal, Thre" mill ion pounds sterling was required, and of this the witness said J Henry Schroeder of London tool; f 2,000,000 The National City Hank of New York took i.'.OOO.OOO on the assurance that Mr Slelcken would take -5 per cent of It Mr I'ntermyer developed In his ex amination that the loan was negotiated nt f'0. and though It ran for five years, part of It whs payable annually, so that the average life was two half years. The Interest was at 5 per cent, and Mr I'ntermyer figured thai the In xestment yielded 3 per cent, Ho asked Mi Slelcken If he regarded a ! per cent. Investment secured by a Go-crnment which had always paid Its debt by a sur tax which would meet the interest pay ment and by 2.000,000 bacs of coffee, as a "patriotic" act. - - "1 certainly do," replied Mr. Slelcken. "At thnt tlme.-liOG and 1907 you could not get loans at 9, 10 or 12 per cent, rlcht In New York, let alone on a for eign Investment " Mr. Slelcken said that the big loan floated on the valorization scheme In- nixed 1 15.000.000 and was handled by Kngllsh, German, French and Belgian bankers, who took 13,000.000 pounds of it through Schroeder of London. The National City Hank took 2.000,000, and this was prorated between the Morgan bank, the National City and the First National. The wltnej? said there are now being held 4,000,000 bags of coffee by the val orization committee of seven, of which he is a member He said 9H0.00O bags are in the warehouses of the New York Pock Company. "Would not the price of coffee go down If this were put on the market ' asked Representative Hums of South Carolina. "No. It would not affect the market ' responded Mr. Slelcken. who contended that the visible supply of coffee has little to do with the price. "I suppose the committee has got the imptesslon from Its counsel thai this valoil.atlon plan has Increased the pi Ice of coffee and that the scheme was financed lit the expense of Ameri can consumers of coitce. I hear of a coffee tins'., but there I. "'thliv fi tcscmblis a coffee trust, either In this lountry or Kuropc, utm Ii is my Judg ment that the price of cofi'ce Is not af fected by valorization at all,". bald Mr -Iclekcn f, DISCUSSED RAISE FOR YEAR. liiterlmrniiKh Sn o I.nhor Organi ze r Forced Vny lnerenes. t the oltloc of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company xrntcidiix a upicEenta t:e said "The aseit'on that tlv alleged leeent arllytty of org'ililzei s of the Hrotherhoorl of f.oi'otnothe Hnglneeip in the unioniz ing of our men is the cause for tne In cicnws In wages Is disproved by the fart that the idea nf Incii.ising the wages first Mailed on Match lii, I'.ill, when a new si hediile with uiH.tuci'H was tentatively adopted h the ciitiip.iu.v's otIUials, The iiiuttii was iliM'tii-M it oil and on fioin lime to lime nnd It was decided that now the coiiipiin f-els in a position to lliiike the Incti as.'S.
