If there is any truth TO the state
mcnt which has recently been made,
that President Roosevelt is at present
unpopular in financial circles, then
those who are the responsible fac
tors in financial circles should do
some better and clearer thinking
touching matters of most Importance
TO themselves, President Roosevelt
has not created the troublesome prob
lens in the solving of which he has
sought to be an effective assistant,
but his recognition of the danger due
TO their longer existence has been
quick and his decisions equally
prompt If he has seemed to be radi-
cal it is because of the fact that only
such means and measures would pro-
duce the immediate results required
President Roosevelt'S most strenuous
efforts during recent months have
been in behalf of the observance OF
law, of the fulillment OF moral and
legal obligations and have been di-
rected against gratis and rebates,
against disreputable business methods
and against the perpctuation of UNI
equal and unjust privileges. For this
service he should be favorably re
garded by the responsible leaders of
our country's financial circles. and if
this is not true then the fault in the
case rests not with President Roosc-
