)/ IL S. IS HOI OF
Financier Warns of Credit Strain
Resulting From Lavish Ex
penditure of. Money,
DETROIT. May 27.—Joseph T. Tal-
heft, vice president of the National
City Bank, of New York, in an ad
dress delivered before the Bankers’
Club here, declared everything has
been dear except credit, and, as a
lilt, “our expanded loans and de- |
posits constitute the weak spots in
our domestic and business situation.’’
Mr. Talbert gave statistics showing
the gross loans and investments
of nil the banks in the United States
since 19Q7 has been somewhere in the
neighborhood of $5,000,000*000/ Whilfc
the total increase in the gold stock
'4^ the United States since 1907 aggre
gated $506,000,000.
"This condition,” said Mr. Talbert,
“although perhaps not so'Strong as
it should he to justify and properly
sustain our increased loans, still is
assuring and shows that theFe is no
substantial ground for alarm.”
Delight to Squander.
Mr TAlbert caused quite a stir when
he said that “evidence tends to show
that individually and collectively we
are a nation of spendthrifts.
“It is our habit and delight to
squander, and no amount of preach
ing will have any effect upon our
prodigality as a national trait.”
Mr. Talbert, in leading up to an ex
planation of the drain on New York’s
.gold supply by Europe, said the lend
ing power of German banks had been
strained to the limit; that Germany
borrowed money here and sought to
draw gold from us.
Ill*'calling attention to the persis
tent hoarding of gold by the French,
he said the French, not content with
the mere hoarding of their own gold,
at heavy losses of exchange, forced
from us, either for their own account
or for that of South America, upward
of $56,000,000 of gold.
“The movement is going on and
may continue indefinitely.
“For lack of protection for our gold
stock we have been obliged to sit
helplessly and to submit to th’a forced
exportation of gold, to our disadvan
tage and ^discomfort.
“This gold movement taking place
at such a time and under such condi
tions demonstrated the fact that often
lias been stated before—that New
Wuk >s the only free market in the
for gold.”
n Need Outside Money.
Mr. Talbert said an enormous
amount of railroad financing must
be done during the next year or two,
and nearly all of it will be done at
horn? with difficulty and in all prob
ability at a higher level of interest
rates than we have been accustomed
to in such undertakings in recent
• vaars.
"Mr. Talbert uttered “a word of cau
tion against the practice which has
•been all too common among mer
chants and manufacturers, rtf finan
cing themselves too largely through*
note brokers.”
In concluding, the banker said it
should be remembered that we are
neither in' nor approaching a period
of speculation, and that credit is in
no danger whatever from that source
now, nor will it be in the near future.
He added that courage should be tak
en from the fact that thus far the
promises of another year of bountiful
Crops are exceedingly bright.
