tons which 1t imposes on him? In
aeed there IS such Justification In the
peculiar relation Of the banker to his
depositors. For the banker lends out
the money which the depositors have
brought in. Even though he receives
valuable notes In return, still he has
allowed borrowers to use funds which
he has promised to pay on demand to
the depositors. Normally they will not
ask for payment all at once, but II
they should the banker could not i'm
mediately pay them. The public has,
in the interest Of the great number Of
depositors, a legitimate concern In the
proper conduct Of banking. This
public concern does not depend upon
the erroneous notion Of the bankers
power OF credit manufacture. and the
discarding Of this fallacy should serve
to clarity the really serious banking
problems confronting us.

ECONOMIST CLEARS
Up FALLACIES ON
BANKING METHODS
No Magical Process OF Credit
Manufacture Possible; Loans
on Reserves Only
BY EWARD T. CROWDER, Jr.
Department Of Economics New York
University

The current discussion Of bank
credit expansion as q means Of induc-
ing business recovery lends particular
interest In the old problem Of just how
much banker can lend on the basis
Of q given amount Of reserve (Which
word we may use in the sense Of cash
or its equivalent, on hand or deposited
in other banks). On this matter there
is still q rather wide misconception,
partly due, no doubt, to certain mis-
leading facts concerning bank loans.
Thus it is widely known that when q
banker makes loan he customarily
credits the borrowers account with a
deposit; 1t is widely known also that
both the loans and the deposits Of
bank tend to be much larger than the
reserve. It Is not surprising, then,
that many persons should conclude
that on the basis Of given small re-
serve the banker can make loans and
create deposits up to an amount many
times this reserve. Such conclu-
sion seems to find support in the fact
that, together, all the banks may have
deposits many times the total Of cur
rency actually in existence. It IS the
purpose Of this article to show that no
such magical process Of credit manu-
1acture is possible-that, as q rule, q
bank can lend money only slightly
more than the amount of its excess
reserves Chose rot required to be kept
rs q safeguard to depositors).

operating under various DISCUSSES.
He has uncovered the anti-semitic

Poor Mans Sleep By Philip Sterling

7 was riding home in the subway
i late Saturday night. There was
the usual late Saturday night crowd
young fellows who live in Brook
Ign riding their girls home to the
Bronx, couple of well-dressed
DRINKS, two children leaning against
each other asleep, their mother and
father sitting on either side of them
with tired, serious, distracted faces.
In the middle of the bench opposite
mine, man lay asleep.
Nothing bores me so much as rid
ing in the subway. My eyes and my
thoughts turned unavoidably to the
sleeping man. He was lying face
up, uncomfortably straight, as
though afraid of rolling off the
woven-straw top of the bench to
the concrete floor of the car. His
rigid body fooled the eye into see
ing him as a figure of unusual size
in comparison with the sitting pas
sengers near him. When you see
man asleep in public these days you
think of one of two things :.
drunk or homeless.
I could see that he wasn't drunk.
He was breathing deeply and evenly.
There was nothing limp and lifeless
about him, as there is about sleep
ing drunk. 1t was obvious he hadn't
fallen asleep by accident, because
his coat was neatly rolled up under
his head as pillow.
I could see the Sleeping mans
chest rise and fall with the slow
swinging rhythm of his breathing.
His slightly opened mouth showed
fine white teeth. I tried to imagine
just how tired I would have to be
not only in body but in mind, be-
fore I would deliberately put myself
to bed under the gaze of hundreds
of unfriendly eyes.

as follows:
Dear Mr.. FulIiam:
deeply regret that the trend
you and Mr.. Christians have
taken in the last three months
must result In the cessation of all
cooperation between us. As told
you in the summer of last year,
while 1 agreed with you concern
ing the international bankers and
concerning the necessity of keep
ing the fundamental tenets of
Christianity alive, nevertheless, 1
thoroughly disapprove of any
thing smacking of the Hitler
and of Nazi philosophy. The fact
that you have distributed German

of downright reactionaries, Ham

the last straw. [VanderIyn is re-

racial and religious prejudice.
When the Crusaders made the
statement: The Golden Rule in
