MELLON ADVICE
APPROVED BY
FORBES
b. b. 8. F0RBEs

Secretary Melons recent advice
to buy bonds rather than stocks
is beginning toSlook not 50 laugh
ingly old.fashioned.
The ginger has gone out Of
speculation. Even the biggest
operators are exhibiting less
bravado. Many ordin lry folks
have lost enough to cause them
pain.
And the latest monetary develop
ments do not bode well for specu-
lative enthusiasm. &
Board Too Slow
Chairman Andrew w. Robert
son, Of Westinghouse. dropped
this remark in conversation the
other day: sThere are certain
things which. If you don't do them
at the right time. you might as
well not do at all.
That observation Il recalled b.
the action of the Federal Reserve
Board. If It had acted aggressiyely
long ago instead Of issuing grave
warnings. the country perhaps
would have been spared much Of
the uncomfortable conditions ex.
perienced since. Although It Is
Impossible to present concrete
proofs, It Is indisputable that the
long-cohtinued excessive money
rates and attendant uncertainty
have discouraged the launching
of many enterprises. And 1t Is
equally indisputable that this will
have an effect upon general BUSH
necc activity.
What higher rediscount rates
now will do is protlematic.
Situation Unique
Never before has Americas
money market been In so extra
ordinary q condition. Here we
have leading bankers of the coun-
try doing everything within their
power to induce the Federal Re-
serve Board to charge them more

Is In line with the recommendar
ton Of the COMMITTEES on recent
economic changes for broad,
national policy to coordinate the
conflicting aims Of individual busi'
ness men,
Attorney General Mitchell had
, checked the original conservation
program Of the American Pc

that the oil conservation com.
mission had now power to suspend
the antitrust laws.

Instead OF being satisfied

The committee on economic
changes. which Mr.. Hoover

Of conserving prosperity. pointed
out the need Of Intelligent Co

the kind Of problem which the

For the six months ending June

To provide for future growth, an

c. I. BAKER IS
PRAISED BY
FORBES
By b. 3. FORBES

Don't believe the widely efrc@
lated reports that George y,
Baker, the S9-year-old head Of the
First National Bank, and New
York's wealthiest banker, IL plan.
ming q banking merger running
into several billions Of dollars.
From inside sources learn that
Baker has no such aim in view.
New York's First National Bank
Il as oid-fashioned az the most
staid bank in the most staid com.
munity IN America. Everything
about It savors Of last century.
GIittering marble has no place In
It. All the equipment, the whole
layout, breathes age. Conservatism
is in the very air in Bakers bank.
Likes Old System
Baker has never felt any neces-
changes IN his bank or in the rum
ming Of it, The principles he es-
tablished and the methods he In.
stalled half q century ago have
proved entirely satisfactory to
him. The profits have been stIf-
ficient to satisfy anybody. Bakers
bank long has been the greatest
dividend Garner in New York. It
distributes 100 per cent annually.
And this rate probably could b0
doubled without inpairing the tEl-
stitution's strength In the slightesT.
Baker Is one Of the six richest
men in America Nor has he ever
been accused of earning one dollar
dishonesty. Never is his institu-
ton involved in any deal which
arouses criticism. Just az the
original J. r.. Morgan was i'm.
plicitly trusted by every other
banker Ia his day. so IL George F.
Baker-and SO has he been for
more years than the majority OF
bank presidents have been on
earth.
Example for Others
I The phenomenal success Of the
Baker Bank has been due mainly
to Bakers character, ability, judg-
naent and personality. For more
I than generation any company
which could attract Baker to its
board has been accounted extremely
fortunate.
His career has been a wonderful
(. example and Incentive to younger
bankers. His record has abund-
antIy proved that the highest sue
cess is not achieved by turning
sharp corners.
The talent with which Baker has
surrounded himself Is capable OF
running bank Of any conceivable
magnitude. And 1t is entirely logi-
cal to expect the First National to
head an institution Of great magnt-
tude once the younger generation
assumes control. But for the pres.
ent things will stay as they are.
