BANK : FATE

Reopening of the Mount Vernon
Savings Bank through a sale of
assets to the Washington Mechan-
les Savings Bank now depends en-
tirely on the depoSitors themselves,
it was pointed out by Frank W.
Lee, president of the bank, today.
While approximately IS per
cent of the IS per cent of depos-
itors necessary to place the plan
in operation have been returned.
Lee stated that the remainder are
slowing up.
Stock sales are progressing ia
vorably. Lee said, with more than
half of the necessary stock al
ready pledged. Depositors are
asked to purchase this stock from
their deposits.
Both stock sales and waivers
are expected to show a large in
crease during the month of De-
cember, Lee said, as that is the
month when many of the labor
unions, strong depositors, will hold
their annual meetings. These
groups will take action regarding
their deposits at this time.

DONATION SENT
To CAPITAL BY
PRESIDENT
NeWboId Noyes Delivers a
Stirring Appeal to Men and
Women of City

First reports of various com.
mittees of Community Chest
workers indicate that today's re-
ceipts will go we'll over the
100000 mark.
Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman,
Episcopal Bishop of Washington,
principal speaker at today'S gath
ering in the Willard Hotel lauded
the workers for the untiring zeal
they displayed during the cam
paign and exhorted them to carry
on in their drive for charity.
Although far behind their quota
of $1,945,000 the workers were exv
horted at yesterdays gathering in
the Willard Hotel not to be dis
couraged and to make every at
tempt to at least approximate this
years mark.
Roosevelt Sends Card
The workers were also reminded
by various speakers that if the
Community Chest campaign fails
it will not be their fault but rather
that of the citizens of Washing
ton.
The pledges thus far collected
aggregate $1,042,615. Chairman
Frank j. Hogan pointed out at to-
day that this amount would sut'
flee only until June of next year
and that unless more money is
collected the so agencies depend
ing for help on the Community
Chest will go wanting after that
date.
President Roosevelt today sent
his pledge card to Hogan and ext
pressed the hope that the cam
paign would go over the 100 per
cent mark. The President, wiring
from Warm Springs, Ca, said:
II confidently hope that the
Community Chest drive, WASH
ingtOn and everywhere else, will
be 100 per cent successful"
U. S. Clerks Behind
Total receipts for yesterday were
$90.760. new low mark for a
days receipts during this cam
paign. Officials believe that be-
cause the Governmental unit has
reached only 30 per cent of its
quota this years goal will not be
made. The governmental unit
collects donations from Govern
ment employees.
Speakers at the various lunch
con meetings throughout the drive
have stressed the fact the people
working for the Government "are
exceedingly fortunate, despite the
fact that they have been given a
IS per cent cut"
The speakers pointed out that
the Government employees have
at least the assurance Of job
and that therefore they should
contribute much more than they
have.
NOyes Makes Appeal
NeWbold NoyeS, president OF
the Washington Community
Chest. made a stirring appeal to
the people of Washington to help
the Community Chest at yester-
days gathering of the volunteer
workers. He said:
81 cannot understand the phi
lOSOphy of Washington when
they seem to intimate that this
campaign is the work of the
5000 volunteer workers. The re-
SpOnsibiIity of taking care of
the sick and needy in the Dis
trict rests on the shoulders Of
each of the citizens of this To-
caIity."

ports that some Of the volunteer
workers are paid for their efforts,

The Money Field
Today the shift has become definite and people who
imagine that know about such things ask why Is
that manipulation of money should become the primary
occupation for bent restoring prosperity
in the confusion of the tongues of experts
the tongue of the amateur happily silent But record the
feeling that something wrong when the simple solutions
brushed aside by the complicated problems upon which
no two men seem to agree.
All that have learned of money makes feel sure that
the gold problem does require settlement before recovery
about but sympathiz with those who feel that
there must have been something seriously with
for years to make this necessary.
Say Two Things
Still avoiding the complexities of the case find myself
wishing that every article statement resgnation attack
and Defense would include two simple facts. $50 far
know these facts have been chaenged The first,
which would clear the air. is that every proposal for ina
tion deflaon, sabzaton etc, works to the advantage
of people and that of them work also the dis
advantage of people, This is particularly true of in
fation and defaon they each bring profit and los and
the problem really is to discover whether they bring their
profit to the SO per cent their loss People argue the
question they calculating how many angels could
stand the point Of pin. 1t is personal than that
Mention France
The second statement I wo' ike repeated every
day, in prominent place is in France the franc went
to just about so to the dollar from original gold value
Of five to the doar and then drawn back to about %
to the dollar Or, in other words initiation checked
do not that conditions in America exactly they
France in the early 102O's; do not thump the
table and insist that initiation be controlled and checked
But when l read that initiation be checked and
always bankruptcy, want the facts about France
brought out.
Being, after all, modest about my economics I do not
believe that the repetition Of two little sentences would
solve problem fancy they would make few reckless
thinkers reckon little closely: and they would clear
the air of abuse which is not argument Also am little
pessimistic because six months asked
questions and cannot get either side to
the inationss whose side both of these arguments lie

perhaps they only impertinent.
