i )/ 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.
