That in itself-versatality and the ability to throw off old memories lis an achievement that makes a directors job much simpler. I haven't enjoyed directing anyone as much as Buck Jones since William s. Hart stopped making pictures"

to cover their expenses, to be fixed by
the Federal Reserve Board.
I venture to submit the following
personal comments in reference to
this bill:
Some question has been raised as to
whether or not the making of loans
to industry is an appropriate function
for the United States Government.
AS Congress has decided that it is
within the proper functions of our
Government to make loans to in
dividual farmers, to individual home
owners, to banks, railroads and in
surance companies as an emergency
measure designed for the relief of
the pressing problem of unemploy-
ment, the character of loans provided
for by this bill must be accepted as
appropriate. While, of course, the
demand for such loans cannot be
known in advance. it seems to me
that the amount provided Is prob
ably inadequate to accomplish the
purposes for which the act Is de-
signed. The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation is limited to 100000 900
and the Federal Reserve Banks to
$4,000 900, or total loaning ca
pacity of less than $3.50 100000
have little doubt but that the
pressing needs of the smaller indus
tries of the country require a far
greater sum than this If they are
to be substantially aided in re-
establishing themselves as going pros
porous concerns. This Is not to say
that great good will not be accom-
plished by loaning the amount pro-
vided, which is, of course, a large
amount, but when you compare it
with the vast sums devoted to other
purposes, it seems to me too mar
rowly limited. OF course, the loan
ing of the sum provided will require
considerable time and if it becomes
apparent that the making of this type
of loans is of great advantage to the
country, and will promote its recov-
cry, Congress on its re-assembling in
January can, and doubtless will,
readily supply the deficiency.
1t should also be added that the
loaning program contemplated by
