INDIANAPOLIS TINES
C. 0. P. QUIET
BUT NOT DEAD,
SAYS WATSON
Former Senator Comments
on Article in Saturday,
Evening Post.

Former Senator James z. Wat
son agrees with the editorial in the
current issue of the Saturday Eve
ming Post charging that current
G. o. P. leadership is dormant.
But he does not agree that the
party has been laid aside by stand
patism" and reactionaries as the
editorial sets out. The magazine
urged a new liberal leadership for
the Republican party as opposed to
what it terms the radicalism Of the
Democrats.
1T is ridiculous to think that the
party that has had charge of the
government for seventy years is
going out of business" Mr.. Watson
asserted. 1T is the minority party
and can make itself felt.
There is no such thing as a
'standpatter.' Furthermore, I don't
believe there is an extreme right in
the party. Today there are many
extreme lefts."
The former senator arrived in In
dianapolis yesterday for visits in the
state. He intends to be in Winchester
and Rushville during the next few
days.

1882 HELD WORST
YEAR KNOWN HERE
Oldest Inhabitants Chroni-
cler Turns 0ptimisticaIIy to
80 in Annual Review.

The year 1882 was roundly scored as
the worst year we have known" BY
John Clagett Proctor, chronicler and
vice president of the Association of Old
est Inhabitants Of the District of CO.
lumbia, in his annual review before the
association in session at the Old Union
Engine House.
There has been much unemployment
throughout the year, and Commemorative
much suffering among the DOOR" he
said In summarizing his chronicles of
the year just past "All Federal en-
ployes with very few exceptions wee
deprived of their 80 days annual leave,
but were forced to take "a days off from
work, for which 80 days pay was de-
Quoted"
In a poem entitled "Adieu, 1892" the
speaker referred to the depression. false
promises of prosperity, salary cuts, and
declared the year had left the American
people harder hit" Turning optimisti-
cally to 1888, however, he hoped 1t
would be a year of prosperity. In his
recital Of important events at home and
abroad, the chronicler not only touched
on outstanding functions by the Asso-
citation of Oldest Inhabitants, but to
affairs of the District CT Columbia, po-
litical developments and international
affairs. The speaker was enthusiastic

BUSINESS DECLINE
DECLARED HALTED
National City Bank Annual
Review Says Recovery
Ground Is Laid.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 3.-While many
grave problems are seen awaiting solu-
ton as the country enters the fourth
calendar year of the depression" the
National City Bank in its year end
review finds that the deterioration in
business" has been checked.
1T may be considered that In the
past six months a ground for business
recovery has been laid that had not
existed hitherto in the depression" the
review says. Taking the period in its
entirety its outstanding characteristics
have been these:
81. The contraction Of credit has been
halted, and volume outstanding is
larger at the end of the period than at
the beginning. The financial situation
has improved steadily since early Sum-
nler, and the growth OF confidence in
the country's money and in the general
solvency of the banking system has re-
lieved the pressure on credit and thus
removed one of the causes Of def1ation.
Funds have piled up in the centers,
available to business when trade rela-
tionships are restored.
Business Decline Stopped.
%. The decline in business activity
has been stopped and the level is
higher at the end than at the begin
ming (of the six months. The third
quarter was a period Of improvement
and marked gains in activity, and the
recession during the final quarter has
been moderate in most particulars, not
materially exceeding the seasonal ex-
pectation,
"3. The decline In prices was stopped,
and despite subsequent reactions, stocks
and bonds hold well above bottom. while
commodities are but little under the
June low
"a. The piling up Of commodity
stocks has been checked. Although in
the raw materials the improvement is
not very substantial, stocks OF manu-
factured goods in all lines are conspic-
uously low, and much below year ago
The small stocks Of automobiles in
dealers hands are an example.
First Better Half Year.
This is the first half-year period
since the beginning of the depression
CT which the foregoing can be said"
The review points out that economic
relationships are still unbalanced Sin
the terms upon which the various
groups of the population have been
accustomed to exchange their goods
and services"
Moreover. it states, Business men
recognize the gravity of the problems
and issues before the Government for
action, and as long as their outcome is
uncertain capital Is likely to continue
timid and business to delay plans for
expansion and replacement that would
stimulate the heavy industries.
Evening star., 1933-01-03

America today Is unemployment. What
shall we Go with the 100000 people
out of work? Some say we should pro-
vide unemployment insurance. Others
say we should divide up all employment
by shortening working hours and CIV
ing everybody two or three days work.
The first plan would dole. pure and
simple. The second proposal would
pauperize all working people instead of
having only a part Of them dependent
on charity as at present.
Third Plan Is Bond Issue.
A third proposal is to raise several
billion dollars by means OF bond issue
and give these men work on public i'm
provements such as reforeStation, great
national highways and flood control
works. II we combine this plan with
an increase In the volume of money and
an increase in prices for farm products.
1t will probably not be necessary to
spend more than two or three billion
dollars for unemployment, because the
return of prosperity will absorb most
of the unemployed.
Another big national problem pend
ing for solution is the banking problem
Congress should make bank deposits
safe for the depositors Some propose
that we abolish the private banking sys-
tenn and establish Government banks.
Others say Congress should guarantee
bank deposits
A Government banking system would
upset our entire financial situation.
Government guarantee of bank deposits
would encourage reckless private bank
ers without placing sufficient response
bility and penalties on them.
The Glass banking bill now pending
before the Senate proposes to create a
super-bank to act as a liquidating cor
poration for all banks that fail. The
member banks of the Federal system
would furnish the capital for this liuui-
dating corporation, and 1t would nav
depositors in full and absorb the losses
between the amount of the deposits and
the value of the securities. Under this
plan the member banks in the end
would bear jointly the losses caused by
bank failures.
This is the Democratic plan. While
its results would revolutionize the pres
ent position in which depositors of
failed banks find themselves, this
change would be brought about by
building up within the present system
a central iquidating corporation at the
expense of all the member banks.
shall not enlarge further upon the
use of this method in dealing with
other pressing problems. 1t can be an
piled to the problems connected with
the foreign debts, the power trust. the
telephone octopus, the courts and the
more equitable distribution of the profits
of production.
Mr.. Roosevelt must show bold leader
ship when he enters the White House.
If he is to meet the Nations expecta-
tions. There is no danger of his being
too radical. The danger is that he viii
not be radical enough.
If he fails, the people at the next
election will elect some real radicals
who will try some far-reaching changes
that may extend even to the form of
the government itself and will certainly
force a distribution Of great wealth
such as has never been known In this
country's history.
