CURRENT EVENTS
PASS IN REVIEW
BANKERS NOT AGREED ON NEW
DEAL ECONOMIC POLICIES
BALKAN WAR CLOUDS.
BY EDWARD w. PlckARD
C. Western Newspaper Union.

-FOUR thousand or so financiers gath
cred in Washington for the annual
convention of the American Bankers
association, and it became apparent at
once that they were far from unani-
nous in their opinions concerning the
economic policies of the New Deal.
Francis Marion Law of Houston, Texas,
retiring president of the association,
gave out an interview in which he said
he believed that economic recovery
had arrived at a point where bankers
of the United States could honestly
advise business men to go into debt
again in order to put idle bank re-
serves to work. Further, he stated
that bankers feel that the securities of
the United States government are the
best investment ION the face of the
earth" and that there need be NO con-
Germ over the condition of government
credit.
What made this expression especial
~ noteworthy was the fact that only
recently the federal advisory council,
composed of leading bankers, issued
warning that government credit was
being menaced by the unbalanced con-
dition of the federal budget and the
unstabilized dollar. H1
1t was understood the association
would avoid open discussion of the
controversial subjects raised by the
advisory council because the delegates
realized that agreement among them
would be impossible. Many of them
represent banks now controlled by the
government through stock ownership
by the Reconstruction Finance corpora
ton and might not feel free to speak
their minds.
Mr.. Law in his interview blamed
business men for the failure of bank
loans to expand.
Business men," he said, ''being nat
urally conservative, figure that this Is
a period of change and, wondering
what the future holds, they prefer
through their timidity to see what de-
velopments will be before they go into
debt
Therefore, it is time that the bank
er, by exhibiting his own confidence
in recovery, should persuade the busl-
ness man that it is safe to start Dor
rowing and expanding"
