Pessimism Becomes Difficult
wall Street JournaD


 Although we have all learned from experience that the economic judgments of those in public office are not always either wholly detached wholly re- liable, the enthusiasm of Secretary of Commerce Roper current business prospects is not without interest In reply to the question What do you think of the business outlook between and eecton2' the Secretary he sailed to Europe, said, T think it is good that it excites me-"
 How excited" MT. Roper may become is not of so much interest to business and investors the very real figures that appearing each day which indicate the pace at which recovery has accelerated this spring and summer. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find items in the days business which do not compare favorably with corresponding periods of every year since 1930 moreover studded through out the columns appear not few items indicating favorable comparisons with 1929. Not the dayto day fluctuations of the stock market but the deep surge that is felt through the nation is what is most en- couraging In spite of politics, governmental deficits droughts and threatened labor troubles this national and evidently world betterment continues it's course.
 How long this trend will last it is. of course im- possible for to know. But to revert once more to MT Roper the Commerce Secretary also said "One of the business problems of today the wise guidance of business to protect it from destructive boom"
 We do not have to accept this statement at its face value to agree that the fact that is possible of utterance without receiving immediate answer ing chorus of ridicule shows how far the recovery has advanced in the last year two And the action of the Federal Reserve Board in raising qurements shows that as far as those who dominate the nations credit policy concerned they are wholly unconcerned with the possibility of de structive boom
 It may be- or may not be- that this degree of re- covery has been adequately discounted from the stand point of security prices But from the standpoint of current business income it is becoming increasingly difficult to be pessimistic.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. = The enthusiasm with which Labor's Non-Partisan League el egate S greeted the prediction that they were on the way toward formation of a liberal party quite evidently caused John L. Lewis to draw a tighter rein upon the movement.
 The league was formed for the most part of followers of the United Mine Workers chief in his break with the American Federation of Labor. Their immediate purpose is to swing as much as possible of the labor movement behind Presi- dent Roosevelt.
 George L. Berry, head of the league and New Deal coordinator for industrial cooperation, assured delegates at their recent convention that they would have a share in the establishment of a liberal party in l940."

BANK DEPOSITS

The annual report of the Federal Deposit Insur- ance Corporation just made public by Leo T. Crow ley its director, provides excellent object lesson respecting policies advocated by Governor Landon, Republican candidate for President.
 The report shows that over 99 per cent of the 31,108 depostors in 36 insured banks which closed were paid off in full.
 It shows that in the 60 insured banks closed since the FDIC went into effect January l, 1884, less than onehaf of per of the depositors were not fully protected because their several deposits exceed ed the 5000 statutory limit.
 It shows that the 66035 depositors were paid in full by the FDIC within ten days after the banks had closed.
 What would have happened to these small de- positors if Governor Landon had had his wayP Here are his views which he has never repudated On September 6, 1883 Governor Landon said to the American Bankers Association
 There is no question in my mind but that the guaranty of bank deposits is greater blow to the ultimate welfare of the American people than the widest imitation of the currency could possibly beP"
 Instead of depositors getting their money back from failed banks immediately as they have under the Roosevelt administration, Governor Landon evil denty prefers the just too bad system in effect before the New Deal
 During Hoover's administration 6os4 banks failed with depositors getting nothing or only fraction of their deposits The meaning of deposit insurance in- dicaed by the fact that during the period 1921-l93 all but nine months of it under Republican rule and all of it before deposit insurance the losses to un- secured deposors in failed national state and private banks amounted to the enormous sum of over five billions of dollars.
 FDlC not only reimbursed depositors in insured banks but 1t operated since it's beginning at net profit of $66oO0o0 without touching its insurance as- aafotc of % n nno
 operation bank deposits have reached the highest level in history. Despite Governor Landons warn ings and his elegrams to Senator Capper urging the defeat of the bank deposit bill

pearance of one-man build up.
 There are those in the league who already talk freely of Lewis as a Presidential candidate in 194C at the head of a liberal party movement that would include farm CTS, labor and what they term liberal minds" arraigned against the big corporations" and the Wall Street bankers"
 They argue that Lewis is a DOW erful figure in the labor movement whose views are we'll known throughout the country, and whose association with President Roose- welt might give him at least the semblance of an heir apparent"
 What thought has been given to such prospect by Lewis can only be surmised. He has announced as his number one aim the improving of conditions for labor. Through politics he hopes to progress faster than in the past.
 Conceding that he may have let his mind dwell on the Presidential idea, has he measured the obstacles he would confront2 Is it possible the American voter would be as disturbed by candidate so ob- viouSly drawn from factional labor ranks as by a candidate drawn directly from what Lewis terms the Wall Street bankers?"
 Regardless of what the league may mean in 1940, its leaders and the labor groups in general are planning to press the next Congress for wage and hour legislation that will replace that upset already by the Supreme Court and to bolster other labor measures now under attack in the courts.

That was a longer step than had been taken by any leader of the league. There had been talk of the league acting as the nucleus of a new party alignment. but never be- fore had it been committed to it.
 Indeed it seemed a step longer than Lewis wished to take. When it came his turn to speak, he calm ly explained in his deliberate. phrase style that the first step was to re-elect Presiden Roosevelt. Then would be time enough to consider what part in the politics of 1940 would be taken by the league. It appeared to be a part of his strategy to prevent the movement taking on the ap-
