they have in the past" says The
American Bankers Association.
Few borrowers ever like the man
or institution that lends them
money. In addition, a sort of grim
legend has grown up about bankers
and banking. picturing the former
as rapacious crew of financial
pirates, and the latter as an ice cold
institution which controls the ma
tons purse-strings. As result, it
has always been easy for the I'M
scrupulous politician in need of a
vote-geiting issue. to make political
capital out OF the exaggerated and
fallacious attacks on our financial
structure.
The fact that banking has awak-
ened to this and is taking steps to
inform the public as to the funda-
mentals OF its business, marks a
tmove in the right direction. 1t
will. in the long run. serve to inn
prove banking's service to the
people. 1t will clear away mis-.
understanding that exists in mil
lions of minds. Banking lies at the
heart Of our economic system and
it's time we learned a great deal
more about it than we have in the
past.
