What Is most needed just at pres
ent IS that our citizens should realize
how fundamentally sound business
conditions in this country are. and
how absurd ii is to permit themselves
10 get into a panic and create a strin-
gency by boarding their savings. In
stead Of trusting perfectly sound
banks
There is no particle Of risk IN.
volved in letting business take its nat.
ural course. and the people can help
themselves and the country most by
putting back into active circulation
the money they are boarding. The
banks and trust companies are solv-
ent. There is more currency in the
country today than there was month
ago. when the supply was ample.
Fifty million dollars in gold has
been imported and the government
has deposited another 10000, 900
These are facts; they appeal to the
public to cooperate with us in restor-
ing normal business conditions.
Proper Effort, Result Guaranteed.
The government will see that the
I people do not suffer, II only the people
I themselves will act In a normal way.
\ Crops are good and business condi-
\ tons are sound. and we should put
