Father Coughlin forthwith took the air
to refute the police commissioner
charge. The priest said he had been
requested over the long distance tele-
phone by Secretary Woodin in person,
as well as by White House Secretary
Col. M. H. Mcintyre. to deny that the
National Bank of Detroit had been
organized to impose alien banking don,-
ination upon the city and its people
Father Coughlin broadcast that he was
authorized to make three definite prom
ises in the Secretary Of the Treasury's
name: Cd That every citizen Of Detroit
would be at immediate liberty to pur-
chase stock in the new bank; (2) that
there will be no ruthless destruction
Of business in the city, and go that
small businesses will not be held out
of anything but a slow and careful
liquidation Of the First National and
Guardian National assets permitted.
Meantime Alfred P. Sloan, jr., presi-
dent Of General Motors Cooperation,
has issued reassuring statement as to
that organizations concern in current
developments. He calls the National
Bank of Detroit "the most liquid bank
in the United States"
"It Is recognized" Mr.. Sloan says,
that the long bank holiday has seri-
ously handicapped both the personal
and business life Of the people Of De-
troit, and that it is highly desirable
that the National Bank of Detroit be
of such assistance as it can in making
available to the depositors Of the First
National and Guardian National Bank
of Commerce such cash as Is warranted
by the more liquid assets Of these two
banking institutions"
