ary' investments, consisting Of stocks
and bonds. incidentally. he blames
this On the government.
Back In the early lo20,s, he said.
government examiners began urging
banks to build up . secondary re-
serve. They didn't approve Of . bank
putting oil Of it, eggs In the agricul-
tural basket, - most Of them were
doing. They suggested that banks
should have resources which could
b more easily Nquidated.
And 50 the banks began the pur-
chase Of bonds and other securities.
They went into the market to buy
ana thereby created the demand
which was satisfied by such giants Of
finance a Morgan. the Chase Ma
tional Bank, Dillon, Reade and Com.
pany, Kuhn Loeb and other invest.
ment houses.
These firms, sensing the demand,
began to manufacture securities.
They would take over an industry
worth . million dollars. do . little
fancy bookkeeping and come out With
five Or 10 million in bonds and as
much more In stock. All OF this
paper would be offered to the public
and the banks-under the mislead-
Ing title Of securities" The banks
loaded up with Il. They thought It
Was better than farm paper because
It was ''liquid" and could b cashed
Overnight
In short. many bankers viii con-
feas now, they made the mistake Of
putting their confidence In little bits
Of paper rather than In productive
industries and tangible property.
They got hooked In just about the
sams way - the private investor who
soaked his savings In insult or other
inflated stock.
And when thu crash came the bits
Of paper proved almost worthless, the
banks resources had disappeared and
they couldn't pay their depositors
without getting more money. Many
were unable to do this and 50 tho
doors were closed and tho depositors
held the sack. Very directly, many
who had put their money in banks
were In the same position q others
who had put their money into 'se-
cur1ties."
The tale = pitiful and sordid In
spots but Il tells ~ what happened
to the nations financial structure. It
points cut the pitfalls into which
bankers have fallen In the past and
points 70 the peri1 which they may
encounter In tho future. Il shows
that the banker has his troubles Just
- the rest Of us have.
The difference lies IN the fact that
he has too much money and the rest
Of u haven't got enough.
The remedy. Of course, lies In sound
and profitable agriculture and busi-
ness. When that has been reestab-
uslaed tho difficulties under which
we labor will have vanished and the
banks win Be able to do business on
. secure and reasonable basis-per-
hAps for the first time in many years.
