the bankers. He revealed the incon-
.sistency Of some agencies Of the gov
eminent urging the banks 10 grant
more liberal loans. while other
agencies we're pressing the banks 10
dispose of so-caIled slow loans. All
we're IN agreement that the banks
had a logical complaint.
In all probability the facts brought
out at the meeting we're predeter-
mined and intended primarily for
the public and the examiners. II
seems certain that the examiners
will be told that they have been too
severe in their requirements and
that in the interest Of business re-
covery they should take a more lio-
ersl attitude.
OUCH instructions might lead TO
- carelessness in the future in
bank examinations. The examiners
might feel that the government IS
behind them and would be in no
position 10 CritieiSe If they became
slack. Such an attitude might de-
feat the purpose of bank examina-
lions and in the end could lead to
another wave of public distrust OF
banks l. carried to extremes.
The other side of the picture,
however. and the one the govern
ment undoubtedly Is looking at Is
the tendency on the part of bank
examiners to permit loans which are
really doubtful in times of prosper
itv merely because they appear safe
and TO put on the screws in periods
Of depression for the reason that
debtors are slow in meeting their
payments. An upturn in business
undoubtedly would make all the dif-
ference in the world in the case OF
most loans which now are regarded
as doubtful.
THE implication IN Washington
Il dispatches dealing with ex-
changes between Joseph P. Ken
nedy. SEC chairman. and Eugene E.
Thompson. president OF the AsSo-
ciated Stock Exchanges. is that the
officials Of some corporations have
been looking seriously toward the
over-the-cOunter market as a pos
sible avenue of escape from the
regulations to be imposed upon
security trading in the organized
exchanges.
The over-the-counter market has
been viewed. It is stated, as pos
sibly Offering advantages" Since
the new deals aim toward security
trading is avowedly that of safe
guarding the interests of investors,
the public may have difficulty in in
terpreting this desire of some cor
porations to preserve advantages
for their securities.
It might easily have been sus-
pected, however. as now develops to
be the case, that federal admins
tration has no intention to ignore
the over-the-counter market IN its
program to safeguard investors. The
SEC intends to watch both the by
ways and the highways.
