DETROIT. May 27. Joseph T. Tal
bert, vice, president of tjbe National
City Rank, of New York, in an ad
dress delivered before the Bankers’
Club here, declared everything has
been dear except credit, and. as a
result, '"our expanded loans and de-
pfe>sit§* constitute the weak spots in
our domestic and business situation.”
Mr. Talbert gave statistics showing
the gross loans and investments
of all the banks in the United, States
since 1907 has been somewhere in the
neighborhood of $5,000,000,000. while
the total increase in the gold stock
<nf the United States since 1907 aggre
gated $500,000,000.
“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 'there 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 hy-Burppe, 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.
In. 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 4 ea V.Y losses of exchange, forced
from .u% 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 yfce have been obliged to sit
helplessly and to submit to this 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
has been stated before—that New
Vnrk >s the only free market in the
world for gold."
Need Outside Money.
Mr. Talbeft sAid an enormous
amount of-- railroad financing must
he done during the next year or two,
and nearly all of it will be dofie at
home 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
years.
JGr. Talbert uttered “a word of cau
tion agaJbft the practice which has
been All too common among mer
chants and manufacturers, of finan
cing themselves too largely through
note brokers."
In concluding, the banker said it
should be remembered that we are
neither in ribr approaching a period
of speculation, and .that , credit is in
no danger whatever from that source
now. nor will.lt 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.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 2,7. -The
possibility that Turkey, taking advan

It was learned here to-day that the
