mand, the Chicago Clearing House
banks having pledged themselves 10 this
result, thus putting all the resources Of
the Chicago banks behinh the deposi-
tors of these three institutions. The
difficulty with the institutions has been
that investments have been made in

coal enterprises Of John R. Walsh.
these assets were not Immediately
available TO meet deposits and have been
taken over on teI1ns which win enable
the three institutions to pay their de-
positors in full. m

II he had had Q little more time he
could have saved the banks and made
enormous profits for himself and as
sociates. He bases his statement on his
estimate Of the value Of the bonds Of

Ibis amount the banks aud Trust Co.,
