IS the savings of this class that make
up the bulk of the idle capital which,
we are told, is lying in the banks, and
which ought to be out financing all

save, so the theory of bringing back
business activity by loosening up on
the millionaires seems to layman as
faulty somewhere.
This theory is the basis on when
the Liberty League campaigned ag-
