of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Chicago directed attention to an
institution which grows moro vital
year by year and because Il works
so smoothly, efficiently and effec-
lively is paid the somewhat doubt
full compliment of being taken
for granted.

largely through the courage and
vision of Senator Carter Glass of
Virginia who, we rejoice to say,
has lived TO see his creation achieve
its greatest stature in the coun-
try's greatest crisis. a.
Very briefly, there are twelve
Federal Reserve districts. Detroit
is branch OF the Federal Reserve
Bank of Chicago, headquarters Of
the Seventh District. The Detroit
branch was created in 1918, its
quarters an old bank building,
now a parking lot, in the rear Of
the Penobscot and Ford Buildings
on Congress St. Growth was
steady and in 1923 the branch
moved to its present quarters,
Fort and Shelby.

may well be that an interruption

resulting In added loss of life

none OF us want that to hap

Of engaging In prolonged labor
disputes should be voluntarily
suspended for the duration. A

accomplish peaceful settlement
Of labor disputes during the war

country and our fighting forces
should influence disputants in
such labor controversies TO re-
frain from waging a campaign
against the use of this machin-
cry, but rather should lead
them to make every effort TO
fairly present their disputes be-
fore this tribunal and then be
guided by It's recommendations,
even though no method Is pro-
vided for the enforcement
thereof.

2-There will be postwar
strikes and industrial tie-up-

can take over, with the revolu-
tionists figuring TO go into the
drivers seat later.
3-That the nations regi-
mentation program, disguised
as helping the underprivileged"
is leading TO state socialism,
something that is mot democ-
racy," something that ''is not
the concept of a republic"
Declaring he knew of some oi
the revolutionary elements which
will loom large in the postwar
era. President Clark said:
"For as their sort have
worked i'm other countries, they
stop at nOthing-intimidation
lawIessness. plunder, arson and
murder, which they have re-
christened with the sweeter
name OF liquidation
CITES OTHER COUNTRIES
"In other countries they have
used all Of these things whole
sale wherever they have oper-
ated. They will do the same
here, If their opportunity shall
come"
A major factor which CLARK
said would be present in postwar
life is an intense hostility be-
tween capital and labor. with
alien revolutionary labor leader:
planning and attempting TO de-
stroy free American labor.
President Clark declared il wa:
true that alien revolutionary lead
ers now plan so TO organize labor
that they can take over and oper'
ate industry when the exorbitant
tribute they lay upon industry nc
longer permits of its private oper,
alton He said -
"Then these foreign born and
trained alien revolutionary lead
ers are to step In and furnish
the management.
FOLLOWS PATTERN
"As to the methods they may
employ we should keep In mind
the recent seizure of a great
merchandising operation, not by
legal process properly issuing
from a court after an impartial
hearing and served and enforced
by a sheriff or other proper
peace officer, but by n ukase
from governmental bureau
which made the law, judged the
law and then used the z. s.
Army to enforce the decision.
''If this can be done TO a
merchandising institution, II can
be done to every vocational ac-
tivity in the nation.
This seems more or less to
follow the pattern set In other
countries by these Communis-
tic revolutionists."
LACK OF MANPOWER
President Clark predicted thai
the United States in postwar day,
would be faced with a lack ol
for anything like a full
national economy.
"Of course" he said, "a great
depresslon-which seems sure 10
cOme-will for the time give US
idle hands and soup kitchens
with long lines Of hungry folk
waiting their turn for n bowl of
soup, the government then prob
ably being too poor to pay for
anything else, II even for that"

REPORTS DUE MONDAY
The parliamentary situation
was this: The commerce COM
mittee will report the Wallace
nomination -unfaYorahly- on Mon
day. II probably will also report
the George bill on Monday.
Since the Wallace nomination
goes on the executive calendar
which Is called at each Senate

However, the Senate could defer

certain of his course.
