Bank Pay-Off

The survey of conditions among the Washington banks
which remained closed after the Roosevelt bank holiday
recently published in The Washington Times contains
large of hope for those whose funds tied
up in these institutions
It is estimated that at least five of the banks will pay
off close to hundred cents the dollar and that
eral other of the institutions will reach nearly good
a figure.
These pay-off figures will be attained even after the
cost of the expensive liquidation proceedings is taken
out of the remaining assets of the closed banks.
There isn't much consolation that can be given the
depositors whose money tied up in these banks
of which at least to have been forced to close
their doors for apparent reasonye it will give them
some pleasure to know that they will get back close
all Of their money though they are five years in
getting it.
THE HIGH DEGREE OF PAYMENT THAT SOME
OF THE INSTITUTIONS WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE
IN THE END IS A FINE TRIBUTE TO THE ESSEN
TIAL sOUNDNEss OF CONDITIONS IN WASHING
TON.
Because of the stability of the city and the steady
and consistent increase in all local UdUeS especially
in real estate, the assets of the closed banks are
bringing in high returns market Which
IUGs severely cIuttered up with the wholesale closing
of the institutions.
This increase in values making possible the pay-offs
was easily practicable and in fact predicted by The
Times and other Hearst newspapers in urging the
actment of the bill of Representative Clarence j. Mcleod
Of Michigan providing for hundred per cent pay
off two years ago.
The Mcleod BILL defeated through Administration
efforts would have had the Government take the
assets of the closed banks pay off the depostors; and
hold the assets for sale the rising market to
what it had expended in the payoff.
This would have been sensible and not extravagant
method of permitting the victims of the bank crash to
recoup and their deposits during the worst Of the
depression.
AS IT IS THESE DEPOSITS WILL BE PAID OFF
IN LARGE MEASURE BUT THE DEPOSITORs WILL
HAVE TO PAY THE COST OF LIQUIDATION AND
WILL ALSO HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH HAV-
ING THEIR FUNDS TIED UP FOR STILL ANOTHER
COUPLE OF YEARS

Journeys
DEAUVILLE

There are fashions in resorts
just as in other things. A place
may be flourishing one year and
lose some of its popularity the
next season. Then, for no ap-
parent reason, the same resort
may stage a comeback and find
itself once more the goal Of ia
nous personalities.
Such is the record Of Deauville,
France. While it never fell into
complete disfavor after its heyday,
it certainly has been far removed
from the madhouse it once was
during the famous August week.
During that one week it seemed
that all the world and his wife
converged on Deauville.
Illustrated society magazines,
of the type popular in England,
devoted almost entire issues to
pictures Of the great, the near"
great and the would-be-great, pho
tographed at Deauville.
Steamships were damned, and
one could hardly reserve accom-
modations.
But after the crowd left, Deau-
vile went back to normal, play
ing host to ordinary people who
went to enjoy the delightful bath
ing, the beach gay with striped
bathing tents and the terraces,
bright with big umbrellas over
tables at which one could linger
over a drink and watch the crowd
go by.
For some years Deauville hasn't
been popular with the interna-
tional set, but this year it is stag
ing a comeback, now that big
names in Partisan society have
announced their intention of so.

The color crumbles and the

hushed-the squirrels sharp chat

darkness over silent soil.

and take a look-see himself, the
letters usually received offering
panaceas have fallen off.
According to Mr.. Kincer:
"The rainmakers seem to have
been frozen out"
Which seems to be a strange
thing to say considering the high
temperatures that have been pre-
vailing in the dustbowl. At any
rate, Mr.. Kincer, who is on the
receiving end whenever citizen
takes his pen in hand and decides
that he has a theory that will set
the country right climatically,
records a distinct low on this form
Of entertainment.
OF course, Mr.. Kincer says there
are a few, including the man who
suggested that they build a big
tower, force cold air through it
I'D into the clouds to cause the
moisture to release; the man who
wants to send up a couple Of
columns of smoke from certain
chemicals to start downpour and
the man who lately invented a
machine that had lot of pro-
pellers and arms that revolve
around and around and promise
immediate action.
Mr.. Kincer says he thinks that
the people have been educated to
the fact that this is all foolishness.
The Climate and Crop Division
has also put out a pamphlet in
dialogue form to meet a number
Of questions that are worrying the
country today over the drought.
In the first place, the Weather
Bureau doesn't think the Great
Plains are going to be- turned into
q Sahara Desert. In the second
place, it's not going to stop rain
ing there altogether, and, in the
third place, the country has just
been passing through a 25-year
cycle Of rising temperatures and
decreasing rainfall and it is about
time that it changes to less severe
winters, cooler summers and more
precipitation.

NEW SPRINGTIMES
Now all the fragrance comes
to life again. and all the color
sweeps again in waves. The
withered MOSES swell to plushy
green. >. the oak leaves glisten
and the forest floor becomes
a patchwork of wet rose and
gold.
From every side there come faint
gypsy calls. the rush Of wind
across the dripping pines the
gush of water down the rutted
trail. the flash of wet wings
round some tiny pool.
The earth was dead-but now
the earth's alive. The spring was
over-now it's back againl It
needed only the release of rain.
Perhaps we, too!
Perhaps this WEAKNESS, this
deepening dust of doubt-this
soaring hurt that seems to seal us
in-perhaps these, too, await the
touch of rain.
And if we dare to weep-to crack
the seal of pain-we, too, might
find new springtimes and be
young again

represent America and the American flag they
should be represented We shall probably wait
long time for such ships to grow from paper
plans to floating reality.
Meanwhile England, with her Queen Mary,
France with her Normandie, Italy, Germany and
Japan with their great fleets of passenger steam
ers and freighters covering the globe, do all the
passenger and freight carrying of the civilized
world, including American passengers and freight.
We have few steamers going through the
Panama Canal, travelling up and down our coast
from port to port, because wisely we will not
allow ships of other countries to trade along
coast Without that rule, probably should
have no ships at all, save river craft and tugs
to handle foreign ships.
