participating i'll speculative ventures.

Then came the governments turn Our
national authorities recognized that the
money stringency must be relieved as
speedily as possible, and to that end
twenty-five millions of government funds
were deposited in New York. with the
understanding and the promise that the
loans Of the South and West due from
the New York banks should be re-
turned, as the cash was needed i'll their

Did the New York banks carry ont in
good faith that promise?
As the Atlanta Journal and the Phila-

done i'll order that the New York banks
would not have an excuse for refusing

the money and still holds on to it. The
