 England Bankers
On the Interdependence Be tween Their Section and
 the Rest of the United States

New York, June 27.-Vice President Coolidge reminded four hundred New ngEland bankers at a dinner here to- night of the interdependence between their section and the rest of the United States. Because New England manufac- lures rather than blows, and its whole future depends upon bringing raw ma terials in and sending finished products out, he saio. it has right to require reasonable and adequate transportation in order that it may serve the nation.
 ''The fur lishi-g of this" he continued, is a duty which reaches to the mana gers and operators of your own trans portation systems and to the managers and operators of those other transpor- tation systems which ship in and out of your territory.
 l T speak of this as one of the funda- mental requirements which. while bound ed by a small locality, is nationwide in its effect, while it relates to the opera tions of a comparatively few, yet will make by its success or failure, the pros perity or the destruction of millions of Americans
 "Ths is a very pertinent example of 1 the inter-relationship of our modern eco- homie life. There can be no permanent l prosperity of any class or part. Such condition can only be secured through a general and public prosperity. This means that to secure this and there must 1 be a general distribution of the rewards of industry"
 l The vice-president regretted that Of | tentimes the un:nfor7ned think of a bank | as the possession of a few rich people and as the creditor of the people at large Rather. he said the resources of bank | are those of the people themselves-the l stock is generally owned by the people
 and always the deposits are made by l them
 A bank is not a private institution. re- l sponsible to itself alone or to a few i'
 is a pu 0hs institution. under a mora | obligation to be administered for the public welfare. Mir Coolidge said. | There is need. he added. for a more i sympathetic attitude and cooperation be-
 tween banks and the people. He urged | that the man in the shop realizes that
 transportation and financial activitie: l are being carried on for his benefit that the railroad brings raw material: 1 so that hc may earn q livelihood bJ
 making them into finished products
 that the bank exists in order to furnish | credit from which he receives a weekly
 wage while those products are being
 sent far away and sold to the people.
 On the other hand, Mir. Coolidge woulC
 have the banker realize that his success lies in the freight yard. in the manu 1 featuring plant. on the farm and In tn | mine. as well as at the discount wDi | dow.
