Politicians and Initiation
Are Scored By Haney

It is rather diScouraging to find
a committee Of our bankers put
ting out a statement that the FL
nance Corporation and the Glass
SteagalI bill "do not make for
what is commonly called infla-
ton" ..a
But what do these bankers
themselves call initiation? What
do they mean by what is COM
monty called initiation?
Wants Better Name
They imply that the measures do
make for something that is not
commonly called initiation. That
is just the trouble.
And where is there any revival
of business to Justify" the pecu-
liar kind Of initiation which they
admit? Certainly if such credit
expansion is justifiable only as
business revives, it is not justified
now.
We should keep sound and go
slow. We need good food, not
stimulants. Our unemployed need
food, not initiation.

BANK RATE CUT
To AID STOCKS
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, Feb. 26 UN.S0.
The bank rate cut probably will
be the news needed to send stocks
higher today. Though the Street
has known that the reduction
was coming, it was not expected
for at least a week.
Indications now are that efforts
will be made to give the market
a little play for its biological
effect over the weekend.
There was some good buying in
leading issues toward the close
yesterday with two leading bank
ing houses reported taking on
quite hurdle of stock.
HOover'S Sleeve Full
The bank rate cut is the first
new rabbit" in the Administra-
tion's repertoire to bolster the
price level. President Hoover has
at least two more, 1t is under
stood.
Among the stories on wheat
the last two days was that Tom
Howell, big Chicago grain trader,
had been called to Washington
and commissioned to put the
grain to 80 cents a bushel.
One broker checked with Palm
Beach, where Howell has been
vacationing, and was told he was
on fishing trip.
At that, a good deal of COM
mission house. buying has been
reported in wheat, and there's
talk of a run-up for the week
end.
Then, too, the annual flock of
crop scare stories, this time with
an international tinge, is in cir
culation.
Switch From Auburn
Part of the Auburn crowd is
said to have switched to Case
and Johns Manville. Whether
or not Auburn is finished" as
they say, it continues to act
badly and should be avoided.
Weakness in Standard Brands
is attributed to likelihood the
dividend will be reduced to a 81
basis at the next meeting. The
company failed to earn the $1.20
rate in 1881.
With all its ups and downs,
the market has been showing
signs Of stability. This will be
helpful If it can continue for a
while longer.

BANK FAILURES
DIP SHARPLY

Bank failures have dropped
sharply in the last two weeks.
During the past eight days not a
single national system having sus-
pended operations. according to
reports at the office of Comp
troller of the Currency J. w.
Pole.
This is regarded as the most
significant development in finar.
clal circles since the beginning
of operations of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation, designed
to restore confidence through
making loans to banks.
Over $25, 900. 900 in loans have
already been paid out of the
Treasury, following authorize
tions by the corporation, and
many of them went to banks.
Undoubtedly these loans helped
the financial institutions and
probably contributed to the sharp
drop in failures, in the view of
officials.
In January 334 banks closed
and in December there were 358
failures. The drop in February
will be large judging from the
present trends, both as to ma
tional, other member and non
member banks.

Our views about our own busi-
ness and financial conditions have
become mixed up with politics, and
are colored by the stock market
interests of those who express
them.
For example, you will find that
most of those who want initiation
are figuring either that 1t would
help the present Administration
next November, or that it would
save themselves from taking losses
on stocks.
Haney Optimistic
We all want business to recover
and as quickly as possible. I, for
one, am so optimistic that I be-
heve that business will recover this
year If we will let it alone.
But we want a sound and ma
tural recovery-one that will last.
We should be sick of false opti-
mism and unsound stimulation.
