 But between 1883 and 1888 bank loans have not only not in creased but have actually de- creased.
 The billions in deposits remain sterile. And they remain sterile because they are not invested. And they will continue to be ster- ile until they are invested. GOVERNMENT BORROWING
 INCREASES DEPOSITS Where did these billions come from? If we had an increase of 15 billions in deposits between 1883 and 1888, how was all this money produced?
 That is a well-known phenom- enon. Whenever a bank makes a loan it creates a deposit and thus increases bank money. Bank loans increase deposits.
 But in these years there has been an increase in deposits without an

STATE

This afternoon and until final performances Thursday evening the healthfull conditioned Warner Bros. State theater will present a gala revival of the picture that made Academy award winner Bette Davis a great dramatic star.
 The production is w. Somerest Maugham's "Of Human Bondage" and is brought back to the screen at this theater by special request.
 Ever since the announcement concerning the return engagement, many theatergoers have shown a marked interest in the production, because Miss Davis performance in this drama is considered her great est. The interest is so great that many families and their friends are planning theater parties so that they may compare this perform ance with that of "Jezebel", which won the star the Academy award and many other successful char acterizations including "Charlotta" of the recent "Juarez".
 If you haven't seen this produc- tion before, plan to do so now be- cause it probably will never return to Waterbury again.
 Cast opposite Miss Davis is Leslie Howard who is seen as the medical student victimized by an unrequit- ted love for the heartless Mildred triumphantly played by Miss Davis. Helplessly infatuated with the girl, he suffers utter torture. His friend, Nora, understands his unnatural roc nance, but cannot save him from his devotion to Mildred. Baffled, she marries another man. Another friend, Sally, tries to give him hap piness, but to tie to Mildred re-

increase in bank loans. The increase in deposits was created by govern ment borrowing. Instead of private individuals borrowing at the banks and increasing deposits, the govern ment borrowed.
 The governments borrowings took the form of selling government securities to the banks. While this in form appears to be a sale of se- curities, it is actually . government loan from the bank. And these gov- ernment loans increased bank de- posits just as private loans would.
 But no part of these increased deposits has gone into private in- vestment.

 But the savings never get spent never find their way into the stream of national income, be- cause the only way this can be done is through investment and, for some reason, the pipes which lead savings into investment are choked up.

Senator Clark Of Idaho
 Sees Wheeler as Choice
Montana Democrat Regarded as Great Liberal Leader
 Needed to Head Party Ticket in I04O

Washington, Dec. 27--(UP)--sen. D. Worth Clark, D., Ida, whose views frequently coincide with those of his Republican colleague--Sen William F. Borah--said today that Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, "is Q natural" for president in lu40.
 Borah has not named his choice but is known to be one of Wheeier's strongest admirers.
 Wheeler, who left his party in 1924 to run for vice president on c progressive ticket headed by the late Sen. Robert M. LaFollette of Wis., consin, said recently that his 1D40 intentions would not be made pub- lie until President Roosevelt had cleared up the third term enigma.
 Clark, in 6 formal statement, de- scribed Wheeler as "T'he ideal can- didate for the party of that first great liberal, Thomas Jefferson"
 Wheeler was fighting the up-hill battle of liberalism 20 years ago when many of those who are now so loud in their praises were in their political swaddllng clothes" Clark said, adding that the third term question was not involved bee cause "it is not to be assumed that the president desires third term"
 "1'he constitution, and, partlcu- larly, the bill of rights, which pro- tects our cherished liberties can find no more gallant or effective champion than Burton Wheeler" he said. He is neither c business-bait. CT nor c business hater. He insists that big business behave itelf, and when it does, he wants to see f prosper and help make AmerlcG great. He is able, honest, cotira. geous. To my mind, he is C natural
 Praise for Wheeler also was voiced by Sen. Edward R. Burke D., Neb, who said. however, that Vice Presi- dent John N. Garner was his choice for the presidency, "First, second third and always
 ''f feel certain that at the proper time the president will announce that he has no intention of seeking third term" Burke said, He added that he believed "the substance" oI MT, Roosevelt's program can Dc caf- 'gied on most effectively by Jack Garner"
 Garner recently announced hi candidacy fin statement issued from his Uvaldc. Tex, home. Mi Roosevelt, asked at q recent presi conference If Gamers move had af. feeted his own plans fin any way told reporters that he was too busS with international affairs to think about politics.
 1n addition to Clark. Edwin c Johnson, b. Colo. Pat MecaTan D.. New, and Elmer Thomas, D, Okla. have announced support fol Wheeler. Thomas qualified his en' dorsement by passing it on the as. sumption that the president wouit not run. while Mccafrah aceoinpaii led his with praise for Garner.
