BANKERS OFFER
ECONOMIC VIEWS
Sentiment in Federal Reserve District
Sounded-Most Replies Urge More
Production and Greater Thrift.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 31.-Diversity
of opinion regarding the present
financial ard economic situation is
shown in replies to questionnaires
sent to bankers in the Sixth Federal
Reserve district by NJ. B. Wellborn,
governor of the Atlanta Federal bank.
Most of the bankers who replied
urged more production and greater
thrift, some advocated organized ef-
forts to limit buying of non-essentials
and others thought banks should cur
tail credit. Others thought present
high prices for commodities and labor
would increase production while
some said time itself would remedy
the situation which they said, was
natural sequence to war.
Excerpts from some replies as
given out by Mr.. Wellborn today are
as follows:
"We must fight economic decay
with the weapons of honest industry,
frugality and common sense. u. K.
Ottley, president Fourth National
bank, Atlanta.
"Work harder, work longer hours
and produce more. Do not pay high
prices."- ."-Charles A. Faircloth, presi-
dent National City bank, Tampa, Fla.
81 think the reform must begin at
the top. The federal reserve bank
must limit discounts to banks that
will only lend to people for legitimate
business. believe things will come
out all right in the end, though
lot of people, are going to go broke
good and strong."-F. G. Dunn, presi-
dent sYazoo State bank, Itta Bena,
Miss.
"Have more workers and more eff
| cient ones. The planter will not in
crease acreage unless he has some as
surance that labor can be had to har-
vest his crop. The manufacturer will
not increase his plant when labor can
mot be had to. keep his factory going
at full capacity, increasing wages does
not appear to solve the question of
increasing production but rather has
contrary effect. Higher wages these
days apparently mean fewer days
work in each week."-F. L. Fisher,
president East Tennessee National
bank, Knoxville.
Import farm labor, put them to
work here instead of feeding them in
Europe" -. C. Sheffield, president
First National bank, Lake City, Fla.
