Frank A. Vanderlip Would "Organize
Commercial Interests of the coun-
try to Resist the Election of Bath-
erskites to Congress"
New London. Conn. June I'm
an address before the New York
Bankers association, in annual con
vention here, Frank A. Vanderlip,
president of the National City bank
of New York, analyzed the business
situation of the day, holding that il
had become dependent upon political
rather than economic factors.
In part he accepted President Will
sons diagnosis of a psychological
trouble in business.
The obstacles in the way of busi-
ness recovery may perhaps be truly
described as psychological and still
be a manifestation of sound business
sense in apprehending the true mean
ing of the political-economic situa-
tion," he said.
He described the standards that
used to prevail in the judging of the
business statistics of produc-
tion and distribution, condition of the
money market, and of credit, crop
outlook, etc.
Great Change in Situation.
"Now," he said, the Congressional
Record is crowding out of it's place
of Importance the Financial Chronicle.
The attitude of mind of the intersta ue
commerce commission has become
more impo ant than the statistics of
railroad traffic. Investigations by bu-
Ieaus, commissions or congress form
more important feature in guaging
| the market outlook than to do the
plans for development or expansion
| formulated by the executive commit.
tees of corporations.
I'VE have no reason to be ashamed
| of being business men; we have great
reason to be proud of it. We have
that right, and it will be far better
for this country as a whole if we
exercise it by demanding intelligent
and able representation of business
| interests in congress.
Il would so organize the business
i men of the whole country that blath
| erskites in congress may be held UP
| in their true light TO the public.
would openly go into the district OF
a demagogue and either defeat him OF
prove that the public of that district
wanted to be represented by a known
| demagogue"
