ton at the New Ebbtt. A committee
of members of the organization is to

Representative Sidney Anderson spoke
to the credit men on the necessity for
a complete understanding between
business men and the government.
Business men. Representative Ander-
son said. should cooperate in the ma
getting their establishments in a pre-
pared state. He said this country could
not fight war effectively with all the
angles of its business interests playing
their game the way they now are. The
federal trade commission. the federal
reserve board and other organizations
are step in the right direction, he
stated. but argued that the business
men may become overzealous in the
countrys military defense policies and
forget that they are playing just as
a part as are the naval and
army people.
H. H. Mckee reported on a trip he
made recently to Chicago to attend the
national gathering of credit men as
representative of the Washington as
