LoPsided Prosperity,
Is Claimed

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. l4-lP-
The important economic policy
commission Of the American Bank
ers association said Thursday little
men and not big corporations now
have the money.
The report was made By Is OF
the nations leading bankers as
the annual convention neared a
close after the spirited selection
OF Orval W. Adams OF Salt Lake
City as second vice president.
Adams, a critic Of the Roosevelt
recovery program, normally will
become president IN two years.
The commission said the strange
situation in which the average
man had more money to spend and
the corporations less was producing
a rather lop-sided prosperity.
IN the past three years" the re-
port said. there have been large
increases In the consumer purchas-
ing power of great numbers OF our
population.
The part Of our national pro-
ductive economy which has not
made satisfactory progress is that
which includes construction and
the making OF durable goods"
It said the chief reason Tor lack
OF production OF such things as
manufacturing plants and their
machinery ships and locomotives.
pipe lines and bridges. cranes and
ore docks was that there has been

The report said ths way to cure
unemployment was not through
mourning public Indebtedness. but
by the creation Of new corporate
Borrowings
The bankers declared business
had genuinely" improved for
farmers. retail merchants. hotel
keepers. entertainment managers
and most newspapers. but that 20
per cent OF our workers are idle.
and their numbers have not changed
much during the past two years.
They said they did not expect
any important increases. In the
flow Of new capital in 1896, "or at
least IN the early part Of that
year"
The report was signed BY Leon
ard p. Ayres. vice president OF the
Cleveland Trust company. chair
man. and BY the other committee
men.
Adams election came after a
convention floor fight against the
nominating committees candidate,
Il. q. Bennett OF Ogden, Utah.
Benefits opponents charged he
was indirectly associated with gov
ernment-controlled financial insti-
buttons. He called the charges
