Bankers Favor Government Subsl dles for Upbuilding: of the Merchant Marine live Minute Talks on the Business and Prosperity of the Dif ferent Sections of the Country. Washington. Oetoler 12. The American Association of Bankers to day put itself squarely on record as favoring government subsidies for the upbuilding of the merchant marine. Resolutions reviewing the growth of American commerce and the decline in American shipping, and pledging the association to throw the weight of its influence towards the enactment of a shipsubsidy law were presented by a rising vote, in which it was es timated that three quarters of the del egates took the afflrmativ-e ide. Rolnnt A. Iowery, of Atlanta, the author of the resolutions spoke in their favor. M. Fletcher, president of the Ger man National Bank of Little Rock, Ark., opposed suleidies for any Amer can industry. This declaration evoked first applause on me subjec. He top ed the resolutions would be defeated. Upon a rising vote the resolutions were agreed to. The resolutions lecite that tii mem bers of the i spoliation are deeply ir. trested in. the ccinmercinl and hid is trial interests of the" wtole countrj : that it favors and most respectfully urges upon Congress the passage of some measure to foster and encourage the upbuilding of the American mer chant marine; that the ship subsidy measure which has received the con sideration of Congress is favored; Lh.it members of tie association recom mend and urged upon their respective Senators and Congressmen the neces sity of action; and that as an associa tion, Congress be memorialized with a copy of the resolutions. Report of the currency commit toe was received, but no action- takan thereon. The report . followed sug gestions made yesterday by Secretary Shaw in his address before the con-; vention for an emergency currency. Former Representative Pugsley, of Peekskill, who submitted the report, expressed the opinion that Congress would enact financial legislation should the bankers present a united de mand for some specific measures. The report outlined several changes in the system which it might be advisable to make by legislation. It wr.s given as the opinion of the committee that such legislation should provide that United States notes, or legal tenders, should be retired if prac tical. Also that a sufficient reserve fund should be set aside in the United States treasury to provide for the re demption in gold of about $600,000,000 of silver outstanding; that the secre tary of the treasury should have dis cretionary nower to deposit in nation al banks such portion of the surplus fund m excess of $30,000,000 whether derived from customs receipts or in ternal revenue as he may deem proper, to prevent absorption of money by' the treasury, the issuance in times of great stress of supplemental currency, along the lines suggested by Secretary Shaw, so as to appear indentical with the present national bank notes, but heav ily taxed so as to secure its retirement as soon as stringent - conditions had passed; this currency not to appear as aily new form of money, but to be guaranteed by the government and banks holding fifty per cent, of the capital in government bonds to be permitted to issue the supplemental currency in limited amounts. An address by Walker Hill, president of the Mechanics American Bank, of St. Louis, on the practical benefits of membership , in the American Bankers Association was delivered. Five minutes description of the bus iness and prosperity of different parts of the cou-crv were indulged in by the convention for a half hour, whn adjournment was taken until tomor row morning.
