JOHN I. EDSON QUITS
BANK PRESIDENCY
Declines Re-Election as Head
of Washington Loan and
Trust Company.
JOHN B. LARNER SUCCEEDS
t
John Joy Edson. for the last twentytwo
years president of the Washington
Eoan and Trust Company, this
morning' declined re-election at the
hands of his directors, some of whom
have served with him during- his entire
term of office.
In a feeling little talk Mr. Edson
conveyed to the directors of the trust
company his deep appreciation of their
honor in proposing to re-elect him:
assured them that he was conscious of
the able manner in which they had
iir\h?iri his hands and administration
during the years that he was their
leader and announced that his retirement
was in keeping- with an agreement
which he made with himself years
ago to retire from the severities of
work when he became seventy years
old.
Will Not Remain Idle.
He did not propose, by any means, to
be an idle man during the years that
might be his. he said, but would remain
on the board of directors, would
look after the Equitable Building Association,
of which "Tie is the executive.
and always would have a deep interest
in the success of the Washington
Loan and Trust Company.
The directors then elected Mr. Edson
chairman of the board, a position which
he accepted.
Tlvey then chose John B. Earner as
president of the company. The new
preaM%n* has been a director of the
bant Cor many years, and has held the
posmOft of vioe president and general
counsel.
As an officer of the company he has
for a long time been actively and ably
concerned in its executive management,
and his election as president is considered
to mean a continuation of the company's
conservative policies.
Explaining his retirement from the
presidency of the trust company, Mr.
Edson said to a Star reporter:
"In declining re-election as president
of the Washington Loan and Trust
Company I have acted in accordance
with a well matured decision, reached
several years ago. that I would not con?
tinue in that office after reaching the
age of seventy.
"The laws of our military service prescribe
that its officers shall retire at
the age of sixty-four?that being the
most suitable age, all angles of the
question being considered, 'that could
he decided upon. The law governing
tre retirement of judges of the courts
generally, I believe, fixes the age at
si venty. I have exceeded one and
reached the other. I have carefully
considered the reasons that brought
about these laws and am convinced
that they are wise and better for a
man, as well as the business in which
he has been engaged?after an active
career?to stop while he is still in possession
of his full mental and physical
strength.
"I feel well, in as good health as
ever, and better able than ever before
to handle the business in which I have
been engaged?understand more perfectly
its technique, require less time
to decide questions and am more accurate
in my action. Nevertheless. I believe
it entirely proper to take the
course I have under such circumstances |
and in the years that are left to me to |
avoid heavy responsibilities and the exacting
duties the office of president of
the company entails.
"py no means do I intend to be an
idle man or citizen. I shall be as interested
and I hope more useful than
ever in certain general public directions
in which I am now and may hereafter
be engaged."
John Joy Edson long has been a
prominent citizen of Washington, al
ways to the fore In charitable, benevolent.

Secretary Redfield Tells Philadelphians
Government Is Doing More
Than Any Other Nation to Aid.
By tlir As?5orititpd Prrss.
PHILADELPHIA, January 10.?Business
preparedness in the United States
is not so much the concern of the government
as it is of business itself,
I Secretary of Commerce Kedflcld today j
told the Philadelphia Chamber of Com-|
merce. The American government, he
said, already is doing more than that
of any other nation to aid business.
"Preparation for conditions to be expected
after the war," continued Sec
, retary Redfield, "is not in its most ef1
fective form something that the government
can do.
Can Only Suggest.
"An official can at most, from his
broad outlook over the industrial field,
suggest the presence of things needing
correction or alteration. Law is not so
much needed to prepare us for the
'after the war' as action, and the
action is that which individual concerns
can take in handling their own
affairs.
"Just as the way to resume was to
resume, so the way to prepare is to
prepare?not by having somebody else
do it for us, but by doing it ourselves.
It is rather a matter of individual and
corporate responsibility than of governmental
action.
Government Has Paved Way.
"The government has, however, done
much to pave the way by the creation
of such bodies as the federal trade
commission, the federal reserve board,
the federal shipping board and the federal
tariff commission. It has enacted
laws forbidding unfair foreign competition.
It has established and is enlarging
a great foreign service, the
best of its kind in the world, for the
direct promotion of American commerce.
. "Through great research laboratories
ii la oluu111 Pi auu ovii i iiiq inv [?i vuitiuo
that lie behind industry. All statements
to the contrary notwithstanding-,
there is no government in the world
that does more, if any does as much,
for the aid of business as our own."
French Crops Show No Change.
French crop estimates for 1916, contained
in dispatches today to the Department
of Commerce, indicate that
food production in many crops virtually
was the same as the year before.
Production figures given were: Potatoes,
9,131,100 metric tons in 1916,
against 9,399,015 in 1915; Jerusalem artichokes,
1.574,000, against 1.352,000;
fodder turnips, 2.409,000, against 2,592,000;
fodder cabbage, 5,946,000, against
6,518,000.
British Cotton Hills Prosper.
British cotton manufacturing concerns
made money in 1916, despite increasing
labor costs, decreased production
and a continual rise in the price
of cotton. Dispatches to the Department
of Commerce say that 140 companies
made an average profit of more
than 10 per cent and paid about
$2,000,000 in dividends. One hundred
others showed a profit of nearly 12 per
cent.
