Lord said about $Zf,UUU,UVU was loaned to banks in the Guardian group to strengthen and stabilize their position and protect deposi- tors.
 Ferdinand Pecora, committee counsel, indicated the group was in a position to dominate" the af- fairs of it's unit institutions, and recalled testimony of Lord before a house committee three years ago in which the banker declarded it was the groups policy to permit various units to handle their own affairs.
 Lord admitted it was possible to remove directors, but said such ac- tion never had been taken. Pecora read a letter from Lord to L. H. B. Baker, an official of one of the unit institutions, in which Lord asked Baker to resign in favor of D. F. Valley, ''in or der to accomplish what we want" :" The letter was dated July 24, 1881.
 Lord said Valley was considered. "a trained credit man" and his election would strengthen that part of the groups function.
 He said he did not think "a suggestion of that nature" repre- scented Interference" with the unit banks.
 In a prepared statement which he presented to the committee as it began inquiry into the closed bank situation in Detroit, Lord said many errors in judgment" were made by institutions in the group.
 Loans that were well secured at the time made, suffered losses due in large measure to the velocity of the deflation," he said.
 The Guardian Group was organ ized in May, 1929. as a holding company to acquire stocks of Michi- gan banks and trust companies.
 Broadly speaking" Lord said, "the greatest mistake of the group was that it was organized at the peak of the nations prosperity that we along with others were un- able to foresee. the conditions which were to follow that long period of prosperity and expan- sion of business" s.s..s s.s |
