Financier Warns of Credit Strain
Resulting From Lavish Ex
penditure of Money.
DETROIT. May 2?.—Joseph T. Tal
bert. vice president of the National
City Hank. of New York. in hii ad
dress delivered before the Bankers’
Club here, declared everything has
been dear except credit, and, as a
result, "our expanded loans and de
posits constitute the weak spots in
our domestic and business situation."
Mr. Talbert gave statistic? showing
the gross loans and investments
of all the banks in the United 'States
since 1907 has been somewhere in the
neighborhood of $5,00(5^00.000. while
the total Increase in tha gold stock
of jthe United States since.1907 aggre
gated $506,000,000.
"This condition," said Mr. Talbert,
"although perhaps not so r strong as
it should be to justify and properly
sustain our increased lrmns, still is
assuring* and shows'that there is no
substantial grouhd for alarm.”
Delight; to Squander.
Mr. Talbert caused quite a stir when
be 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 e 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 Herman banks had been
strained* to the limit; .that Germany
borrowed money here and sought to
draw' goVI from us.
. in calling attention to the persis
tent hoarding of gold by the French,
he said the French. riot coptept with
the mere hoarding of their own gold,
a-t 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 submft to th'r, forced
exportation of gold, to our disadvan
tage, and discomfort.
"This gold movement taking place
at such a time and under such eondi-
tiom; demonstrated the fact that often
'lias been stated before—that New
York ’s the onh free market in the
‘world for gold."
Need Outside Money.
Mi "’albert said an enormous
amount of railroad financing must
ho done during the next year or two,
and nearly all of it will he done at
home with difficulty and in all prob
ability at a higher level of interest
rates than w>e have been accustomed
to" in such undertakings in recent
years.
Mr. Talbert uttered "a word of cau
tion against the practice which has
Keen all too common among irier-
chants and manufacturers, of finan
cing themselves too largely through
note* brokers."
In concluding, the hanker said - it
should he remembered that we art*
neither in nor approaching a period
of speculation, and that credit is in
no danger whatever from that source
now, nor will it he 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.
