The American Bankers associa-
TONS executive council was told by
its economic policy committee at
Hot Springs Wednesday that the
most effective way to avoid an in
flationary boom would be to balance
the Federal budget.

simplified," the report said, adding
that eff it is not done, no other
measures can be adequate"
Reporting that American business
is entering the prosperity phase of
the recovery movement, the COM
mission said:
'There is no present evidence that
there is now or has been recently
any inflationary expansion of bank
credit. Neither does there appear to
be any prospect of such develop
ments in the future"
Col. Leonard P. Ayres, vice presl-
dent of the Cleveland Trust compa-
nv. is chairman of the committee.
The committee report declared de-
mand deposits, five billion dollars
