After the New Deal--What2

FhlGT LIE NEW 1Gdl--WId
This newspaper is in receipt of a
letter from one of the outstanding stu
dents of economics and politics in the
nation today He opens the letter with
that question: After the New Deal,
What?' and follows with these thought
provoking paragraphs:
Few people realize that quiet, but
none the less effective, revolution is
going on beneath the surface right
now.
The historian of the future is going
to point to this period as one of the
most stressful and important that this
country has ever gone through. He will
not realize that most people who went
through 1t were as unconscious of what
was going on, as were the thousands
who persisted in the japanese earth
quake of 1928 unconscious of the dis
aster preparing for them.
Yet a Japanese scientist predicted
that disaster almost to the day. And if
his warnings had been needed, $4,000
lives and many million dollars worth
of property might have been saved
But the government feared to disturb
business-so they suppressed the scien-
lists warnings, and doomed thousands
to destruction and death
There are many thousands of bust
ness men in this country today whose
business will be destroyed just as
straightforward failure to heed the
revolution that is overtaking them. For
business methods are changing. Bust
ness practices are being revolutionized.
And those who fail to get in touch with
the new tempo are going to be trampled
upon and destroyed"

Inquiry Reveals Commercial
Put Up Collateral Behind
Fleet Corp. Deposits
BY EUGENE A. KELLY

After weeks OF lnVeSClgaCIon,
it was definitely established to-
day that the closed Commercial
National Bank put up more than
81 ,0O0, 900 of its assets as collat-
eral to secure the deposits of at
least one Federal agency.
The defunct institution pledged
with the United States Shipping
Board Merchant Fleet Corpora
ton, one of its depositors, promis'
sorry notes aggregating $685.
37708, which were secured by a
first deed of trust on the bank
building at Fourteenth and G
Streets Northwest.
U. S. Fully Protected
This means that while other
depositors were paid off only so
per cent of their savings, the Fed
eral agency was protected in full
against any possibility Of losing
its deposits.
Disclosure of this discrimina-
ton may result In additional
thousands of dollars being paid
out to depositors.
4 According to authorities Of the
Shipping Board, they had no
right to demand that their de-
positS be secured by collateral
put up by the bank.
The receiver for the bank, Rob-
ert G. Baldwin, has either paid
off in full the deposits of the
Shipping Board and received the
collateral in return, or the Ship
ping Board has retained the col
lateral.
Recovery Possible
If the Shipping Board still
holds the collateral put up by

now be recovered by the receiver

The Supreme Courts decision,

agency can demand a bank put

authorized by Congress to do so.
1t was learned on high author

the bank already has conferred
