 'The pickup in Peru is partfcu- larly gratifying. Business in gen. eral in that republic shows gain of 75 per cent over last year, and some lines. the automobile busi- ness for instance, show a hundred per cent increase. The govern ment of Peru is stable and the ma jority of citizens are well pleased with it.. Depression is a forgotten word"

American Banking
 System Vs Britain's s
Immunity From EiOdgepodge of Laws Such as Exist
 Here Said to Be EngIand's Success

New York, Nov 21-In recent editorial discussion of England and Recovery" it was stated: The English banking system was forti- fled by generations of wise banking 1egislation," the Guaranty Trust company points out In the current issue of it's weekly survey, its re- view of business and financial con- ditions in the United States ana abroad.
 The statement is partly true, though not in the sense that might be judged from the context. the survey continues. The wisdom of English banking legislation lies mainly in it's scarcity. It is the tra- dition of sound bank management. combined with a minimum of un- necessary government interference and restriction. that explains the strength of the British banking system.
 Freedom of British Banks
 Aside from a few general provi- sions of the English law, there is no regulation or supervision of the English banks. There is no mini- mum capital requirement.. No ex- animation of the banks is ever made by the government. Nothing in the nature of minimum reserves, places where reserves are to be kept, or types of assets in which a bank may invest it's funds is con trolled by law or regulation. In other words, an English bank may, and does, invest it's funds in any type of loan or security that 1t sees fit.

FIRST BREAK IN
 IN THE $427,OOO
 TRUCK ROBBERY
Owner of Speed Boats in Which Gang Escaped Is
 Being Held,

New York, Nov 21-(UP)--The bandit gang that robbed an arm- ored truck of $427,O00 in Brook lyn last August laid it's own trap by 0verplanning the holdup, pos lice indicated today in announcing the mystery has been broken" Former bootlegging channels yield ed clews that led to the arrest of Thomas Quinn as a material wit ness. He admitted ownership of two speed boats which police say were used by thesgang in escaping. Quinn, described as former rum runner, disappeared three days af- ter the robbery. Later he was plac- ed under surveillance and last week was detained for questioning. He was arraigned before, County Judge Alonzo c. Mclaughlin yesterday and held on $50,00O bond.
 Police told the court Quinn had given valuable information. This statement led to the belief that more arrests would follow shortly and that the entire gang would be rounded up soon.
 Possibility of out-of-town arrests was indicated by the fact that g. dragnet had been thrown over the entire eastern seaboard and as far west as Chicago. More than 100 detectives have worked on the case at times since the holdup.
 The unprecedented daring, skill and precision with which the hold up was executed showed meticui- ous planning. From seven to 12 bandits swooped down on .the truck as it stopped in front of a Brooklyn plant. The robbers, armed with machine guns and re- volvers, deployed to stratekic posi- tions. One discussed as pushcart peddler ripped. the cover off his supposed wares and seized ma chine gun.
 ! Others entered the truck, swoop- ed up the cash and at a signal the gang jumped into automobiles and fled. All traces of the bandits cars led to Gravesend Bay, where police believe they boarded the two boats owned by Quinn.
