STRONGER BUSINESS
AND STRONGER BANKS
By F. M. LAW
President American Hankers
Association
DURING the crisis When confidence ’
was shattered, bankers were prop- !
erly concerned in liquidity. Their main
F. M. LAW
stored banks will naturally resume a
more normal lending policy. This does ।
not mean they will or should extend i
loose or unsound credit, but that in the
utmost good faith bankers will per '
form their proper part in recovery by ;
a sympathetic and constructive attl- -
tudo in the making of sound loans. Nor
should commercial banks make capital
or long time loans, for the reason that
their loans are made from funds de
rived from deposits payable for the
most part on demand.
When the return of confidence is
further on its way, business men will
find need for credit In making their |
plans. Then good borrowers, who for
the most part have been so conspicu- ।
ously absent from the market, will re
turn. They will be warmly welcomed !
by the banks.
Business Men’s Fears
Business men have not yet laid all
their fears. They worry about what I
Congress may or may not do. They con- .
cern themselves about a trend toward I
control of business' by government, j
They fear taxes beyond their power to
pay. These are real sources of worry |
and when they are reassured along
these lines they will be more inclined i
to take a fresh look at the future and
to make plans to go forward.
As a matter of fact there are tangi
ble evidences of recovery. The Federal
Reserve Board officially has stated ।
that prices, wagos, business activity
and production were back to the high- ;
est peak since early in 1931. Commer- |
cial failures in the United States are
being cut almost in half as compared ■
with the same period last year. It has !
been reported that the decline in ex- i
port and import trade was definitely ‘
checked in the middle of 1933 and re
placed during the last bait of the year
by a substantial recovery movement.
Among favorable factors is the ini- i
proved condition of the banks. It is
doubtless true that the banking struc i
ture of the country has never been in a
sounder, stronger and more liquid con- .
dition than It is today. My authority
for that statement Is the Comptroller
of the Currency. No longer is there any
fear or thought of bank runs. Deposi
tors once more know that their money
is safe and the banker, thrice armed in
the knowledge of his own strength, is
looking forward.
Training for Bankers
The American Bankers Association
has been active for many years train
ing young men and women in order
that they may be duly qualified for the
business of banking. Standard courses
are furnished with able and experi
enced teachers. This work is done un
der the direction of the American In
stitute of Banking Section of the asso
ciation. Over two hundred chapters, or
local banlung schools, are in active
operation throughout the country and
thousands of the younger generation
of bankers are being graduated each ;
year. These students are taught not
only banking practices and policies,
but they are also well grounded in the
highest ideals and standards of bast-
Bess ethics. A proposal is now under
consideration to establish a central
school, which will offer advanced or j
graduate work to a selective list taken
from those who have completed the
standard courses. —F, M. Lav, Presi

FOR CONGRESS
Honestly believing I can be of
real service to the people of the
; First Congressional district of Geor
| gia, I announce my candidacy for
Representative in the Congress of
; the United States. In offering as a
i candidate I will abide by the rules
'and regulations of our Democratic
I party that shall be agreed upon for
I the forthcoming state Democratic
I primary to be held on September
! 12th. I will wage an active campaign
i _md hope to have the pleasure of
meeting personally all of our citi
| tens. Should the people of the First
' district honor me by election as
' their Congressman I will endeavor
j faithfully and conscientiously to
serve them to the very best of my
ability. It has been my earnest? am
bition to take up the work where my
father left off and to work for and /
wit hthe people of this district who |
honored my father and whom T"
। served so long and loved so w®b
I The training and association with
my father in Congress has familiar-
I ized me with the affairs of Congress
; as well as with others affairs of our
national government which will en
। able me to begin the work without
i the handicap which a new man
would have. I will state at this time
that I shall so nearly as humanly
possible support our great leader
I and president, Franklin D. Roose-
I velt. However, I shall conscientious-
Ily represent the First district and
j their welfare as I see it and at no
I time for the sake of political ex
| pediency will I follow anyone or
: any group and stifle any of my con
victions. Whenever I make a promise
to whomsoever given it will be car
ried out.
I earnestly solicit the support,
vote and influence of our Democra
tic citizens and will appreciate and
be grateful for them. In the course
I of the campaign I shall confine my
| self to issues and will indulge in no
| personalities. The only real issue
before the people is this question,
“Who can best serve our district as
its representative?” The people are
the jury and the office is theirs to
give. I place my case in their hands
with every confidence in their ver
dict and faith in them.
