OUer 100000 Loans in Year

OUer 500, 900 Loans IN rear
THAT not all bankers are sitting idly with folded
hands in their offices saying mo- to appli
cants for loans is vividly illustrated by the fact
that the National City Bank of New York last
year made through its personal credit depart
ment, over 300 900 loans, an average of three for

$4,000 person use its special checking account

able report, and thereby hangs tale which
bureaucrats everywhere in Washington well might
take to heart
HOpkins-BaiIey Clash
SENATOR BAILEY was one OF the first, year
~ ago. to open up blisteringly on politics in
relief.
Mr.. Hopkins, the typical bureaucrat raised
from the obscurity Of mediocrity to the dizzy
heights of delegated presidential power, didn't
like some Of the things Mr. Bailey as Senator,
felt called upon to say openly in the Senate.
Like so many of the bureaucrats who had seen
statesmen tremble at the mention of their names
and crawl on hands and knees into their presence,
The Washington times., 1939-01-19

craving the favor of small dole from the billions
they themselves had helped to vote into the hands
of bureaucracy, Mr.. Hopkins thought he would
squelch this show of senatorial impudence.
AS the story goes he had the cool crust to send
a spokesman to Senator Bailey, to say that Mr..
Hopkins did not like the things he was saying
in the Senate.
To this Senator Bailey replied that what he was
saying in the Senate he was saying in the per-
formance of his public duties, and that he would
continue to say them.
Delicate Task
AS THE debate opens on the confirmation of
"a Mr.. Hopkins (and he will be confirmed, with
probably not more than 10 Democratic votes
against him) his friends have delicate task to
perform
They must make it appear that the man who
has had the spending of around 10 billions of
relief money was really an unsophisticated and
dreamy idealst who didn know that relief had
become smeared with politics, and yet they must
stop short, in thus painting his portrait, of max
ing him appear silly ass, incapable of being
good Secretary of Commerce.
The testimony of Mr.. Hopkins before the Com
merce Committee will be subjected to merciless
analysis
Meanwhile, the name of Mr. Hopkins has been
scratched off the list of 1910 presidential posi-
bilities
If he had remained on WPA to bear the brunt
of congressional criticism of politics in relief,
instead of passing the buck to the Army he
might have been made very uncomfortable; but
he would, at least. have become hero to certain
large and influential element.

rural boys between tFe ages tof 10
and 29 who are gainfully employed
are engaged in farm enterprises;
whereas, among the girls in gain
full employment, more than 80 per
cent have non-farm occupations.
1t was also shown that farm boys
generally find gainful employment
between the ages of II and o., and
girls pass the pre-vocational stage
about a year earlier.
Among the white youths, about
one-third of the single boys and
over one-half of the married boys
selected farming as their choice of
an occupation. Home-making was
the choice of one-siXth of the single
girls and over sthreelfourths of the
