II. G. Wagner Gives Four Reasons

Reviewing conditions which have re-

continuance of tight credit. f. G. Wag-

2. 'Tt has been estimated that banks

change situation is such that this item

3. 1.-THE exigency of war required
manufacturers TO build new plants. and
largely increase old ones to produce
materials needed by the Government.
This resulted in many corporations being
obliged TO put back into fixed assets the
profits that otherwise might have been
paid out In dividends and helped mate
rally toward general liquidation. such
as repayment OF loans against Liberty
bonds.
4. "Our method of taxation Is another
cause. The issues Of loans by States,
counties and cities are free of all Fed

tremendous demand for these invest
ments by people with large incomes The
