Speaking OF Liquidation

State Banking Commr. James Shaw has been on the
job for more than three years. His report shows that the
state banks are in sound condition and reflect a healthy
trend of business. Another feature relative to the general
liquidation of the past two years convinces Commr. Shaw
that liquidation is a helpful thing in the long run. In
other words, general liquidation, washed out specula-
ton and general OVERRIDING of things and put the country
in position for the next climb to prosperity" 1t did more.
1t placed new money in weak banks and made them
strong. 1t rid the system of many inefficienet individuals.
1t won the approval of the bankers who believe in a real
code of doing business and restored confidence as we'll
as courage to the people.

Mew York
Letter

NEW YORK,-The more vicious
aspects Of New York night life fin
ally have become subject to a dis
comforting check.
Mauhattanibes, long cynical on
| promises of city reform, have found
a most hopeful symptom in one in
cident of the city's more recent
vice-inquiry.
This was the finger-printing OF
| several hundred owners, or direct
representatives., Of dance halls,
shady cabarets, dimly-lit light clubs
and hideaEays.
To the jewellers in cities where
direct procedure Is the custom. the
significance Of this finger-printing
act may be lost. In fact, there are
millions Of New Workers who read
something about Ii in the papers
and failed to realize that the police
70 the first time had an edge on
the artful-dodgers OF the night
assuming, OF course, that they care
to do anything about 1t.
1t was all very well for the COM
missioner Of police TO address the
hard-boiled night club gents in
words that were harsh and biting.
But when he told them TO line Up
and leave a finger-print behind
them; that was something else
again.
To begin with, there are many
maestrcs OF the night life who
would Just as soon not have their
past records checked through fin
ger-print departments. Scores OF
them have records as yeggs, gang
sters and such.
But what is more important Is
this-the question of ownership can
not longer be lodged.
The men who appeared before
Commissioner Mulrooney came as
direct representatives Of some GER
tain resort. and SO they must take
the responsibility for anything that
happens in the future.
Finding the responsible" persons
after a raid or a complaint has long
been one Of Manhattan'S most far
cial games. Police appearing at some
low dive would arrest, perhaps. a
couple Of doormen, aticket taker
and a few flunkies. AS mere attaches
Of a resort, there was no percentage
in pressing charges against them.
Well. who was the owner? &.
Why, it was a corporationl ... Made
up Of John Doe, Richard Roe and
Sam Gazool ... And so, year upon
year, things would 60 around in a
merry circle and come TO no good
end: the public would yawn at the
mention OF a clean up and comment,
Yeah . but they never get the
big shotsl They never get the high
er-upl'
Today. the fellows who left their
finger prints in the commissioners
office have automatically shouldered
responsibility that can not longer
be passed to a couple Of other fell
lows.
OF course. few people expect a city
Of Manhattan's bulk to be lily white
and without vice or swindle.
But certain tlnce halls have be-
come little more than brothels and
not particularly good brothelS az
that. And the vicious practices OF
crooked night clubs have trapped
many an unwary visitor. The most
popular game has been that OF
check-raising. with a little attempt
ed blackmail on the side. Knock
out drops r still used and failure
TO pay hold-up prices have been
followed by beatings and robbery.

Henry Ford Passes Another Milepost

Henry Ford has passed his 6sth mile post. He did
not celebrate his birthday. 1t was just another day for
him He spent the day in the gardens of his wonderful
estate near Detroit. Henry Ford came as the third Amer
lean Millionaire. He was past 40 before he came out of
ooscurlty as a mechanical engineer to become an indus
trial captain of world prominence and an international
1nancier. HIS annual income runs into many millions. At
os, according to a newspaper writer, much of the intense
interest the wizard devotes to everything he undertakes,
Is beng directed toward the development of a huge ex-
~perlmental farming project, which he believes ultimately
Will result In the coordination of farming and industry.
Is not that what Dictator Stain is attempting to do for the
Soviet Russians? They are coordinating over there and
the peasants appear to be doing the heavy work.

A Little Bit Late

New York City has been thrown into a frenzy of in

was killed and four others wounded when an attempt to
put a racketeer ION the spot went awry. Mayor Walker

has announced when they start shooting down babies it
in a fine weller of righteous anger.
All of this is very we'll; but there isn't really, much
sense in getting so hot about it. A press dispatch on the
day after the shooting remarked that "the gun play was
an outgrowth of beer ~peddling rivalry; and that tells you
about all you need to know about it.
New York, like every other big city in the United
States, has tolerated beer gangs for years.

Two Immortals of the Air

Place Russell Boardman and John Polando in the fly
ing hall of fame. They are there for all time. They made
the record flight from Floyd Bennett field to Turkey in
80 hours and IL minutes, the longest continuous flight
in the records Of aviation. France may have wonderful
war planes. England may have wonderful sky planes, but
America is furnishing the wonders of the world when it
comes to the aces of the air. Now the Lindberghs are out
to do something handsome in the sky and add additional
laurels to the house of Scandal and the house of Morrow.
All the American world has been on wheels since 1920.
Some day all the American world will darken the skies
with their speed ships. This is the fastest moving age in
the history Of the world.
