BANKS HOLD
THIRD PLACE

Interviewed On his return from
business trip in the east during
which he attended the American
Bankers association convention in
Washington, D. c., c. M. Wallace,
president of Security First Nation
al bank, spoke Of the high stand
ing of California banks in national
financial circles
"Mcst recent figures released
while 1 was in washington list
! California bank deposits at $3,025,-
100000. We stand third in the Un-
ion, being led only by New York
and Pennsylvania Illinois, includ-
ing Chicago, which is cne Of the
great banking centers Of the world,
stands considerably below US, and
we are crowding close upon the
heels Of Pennsylvania -
Questioned regarding government
versus private lending, Wallace
who heads one of the country IS 10
largest banks, brought out that
President Roosevelt had indicated
willingness to curtail government
operations in this field as soon rs
private agencies could take up the
slack.
I'm the case CT short time com-
mercial loans, lending by other
than regularly constituted COM
mercial banks of the country has
not been heavy. In the 80 days
prior to October 10, for example,
the 10 federal reserve hanks COM
bined loaned direct to industry on
ly $3,7o8,000 When it is realized
that a single Los Angeles bank
made commercial loans Of six mil
lion in the month Of September
alone, it will be seen that the di-
rect leans of the federal reserve
banks are comparatively small. I
see no reason why the CONNER cial
banks should not take over in this

Let it be said for Mr.. Pfeffer that

nothing more formidable than a

cause Mr.. Pfeffer had lost his

own circus. but when it failed he
turned on Mons Curley and charged
him with operating trust in which
many of the matches were pre-ar-

Our suggestion Is Indl tne COLL
