Trends In Bank Credit
At banks in leading cits.s of

this year have been quite different
from last. Business loans, ignoring
the usual seasonal fluctuations.
have pushed persistently upward.
When you break the loans down
by types of business, you can find
that in almost all major cate
gories there has been either a
larger increase or smaller de-
crease than last year. his was true
of all major types of manufactur-
ing, rejecting loan demand to
build up inventories and for other
purposes necessary to increasing
output. Perhaps the most striking
statistic is that by far the largest
borrowers were sales finance COM
panies. rejecting the importance
OF automobile purchases in the
business recovery.
The expansion in consumer
spending is also reelected in "other"
loans. mostly to consumers, which
have risen by Is per cent so far
this year. Real estate loans never
did feel the effects of the 1853
1854 recession because building ac-
tivity stayed at a high level. They
continue to increase.
The Outlook For Loan Demand
In view of the unusually strong
demand for credit so far this year,
many wonder il they can expect
the usual increase in borrowing

intimately concerned about this
question. we talked TO loan officers
of some large Third District banks.

Winter weather Is rolling In
and some parts of the country
are blanketed under inches Of
snow. It's at times like this that
drafts rob a home Of its heat and
Ia family Of its health.
For example, the cracks and
|crevices around an average size
window equal the area Of one
brick removed from the wall and
let in the same amount Of cold
and wind. Multiply this condi-
|tion by the number Of windows

|tion and you can quickly under
stand why your fuel bill Is larger
than it should be.
Weatherstropping is not q new
idea for sealing cracks and crew
ices around windows but. as

personal experience all weather.
stripping isn't the same. Now
being marketed is a new wealth.
Ierstripping-a pliable inch d.
Iameter cord-like substance that
ladheres to any clean, dry sur
face. It can be formed into any
shape to plug up holes and
cracks. It keeps out wind, cold,
dust, dirt and insects.

stripping is simply pressed into
place with the fingers. No tools
Ior lacking needed. In addition
to being easy to apply. 1t also
can be removed as easily II not
more easily. Just hold one end
and pull.
Sealing cracks and crevices
around windows is but one use
for this Misunderstanding. It can
be applied to crevices and cracks
around doors, to plug holes
around bath or laundry tubs, to
keep rain out and stop rattles
from car ventilators. windows
and trucks. It can also be used
around sinks and drains. around

Misunderstanding are that 1t re-

SCOT Fixer
Next to drafts and lack Of
proper insulation. more heat Is
lost through SCOT accumulation
in fiues and chimneys than
through any other factor. SCOT
forms q barrier which slows up
the transfer Of heat, thereby
wasting fuel, and sometimes
causes chimney fires and explo-
Sions.
A chemical solvent now being
marketed, upon contact with q
hot fire releases non-toxic vapors
which adhere to the SCOT forma-
lions In the fire box, fiues and
chimney and through chemical
action destroy these formations.
The continued use Of the solvent
also retards the recurrence Of
SCOT deposits, the manufacturer
claims.
The elimination Of heat-steal-
ing SCOT assures maximum heat
from the fuel burned. Less fuel
will be required to keep your
home comfortably warm this
winter If your heating system is
free from SCOT.
The solvent is available in
liquid form for oil and kerosene
units and in powder form for
coal and wood stoves, furnaces
and 11replaces.
In addition to its SCOT removal
properties, the liquid solvent
helps dissolve and remove gum
deposits, sludge and water. re-
duces oil odor3 and combats rust
and corrosion,' the maker says.
It is poured into the fuel oil stor-
age tank through the regular
filler opening. The recommended
first application Is ! pint Of SOL
vent for every lbs gallons Of oil
In the tank. Subsequent applica-
tons should be / pint Of solvent
for every $50 gallons Of fuel oil.

Is the prime headache Of the

The executive branch has

some time an inevitable clash
OF arms between the Chinese
Communists and the Nation
alistS.
The American exponents Of
the British formula of peace
in our time"-men on whose

so frequently-are now worried
lest the American people may
reject that doctrine. And. in
deed. the great popular re-
sponse which Senate Majority
Leader Knowland receives to
his blunt demands that we
not compromise with militant
communism gives food for
thought to many White House
advisers. But they seem to be
committed to a policy Of COM

reverse themselves quickly.
The advisers around the
President have succeeded in
the past in offsetting the ideas
for energetic American action
expressed frequently by Adj
miral Arthur w. Radford and
some of the policies suggested
by Secretary Of State Dulles.
These two men do not lack
powers Of persuasion. But their
critics have gotten the upper
hand in such situations as the

they believed that the Com

or else when authority is re-

the longer we are able to de-
lay a conflict with our sworn
enemies the better it will be
for us and the rest Of the
world seems to have boomer
anged. The fact that the
President has leaned to this
philosophy is understandable
to some who have known him
for q long time.
AS a professional soldier. Mr..
Eisenhower has the usual aver
sion for war. But he does not
believe the public at large un-
derstands that professional
military men are not jingoists.
Thus, as a political leader and
the President of the United
States, he is leaning backward,
more than any President who
has come from civilian life. to
show himself a man Of peace.
This explains why he has SO
frequently. in the last two
years, rejected his own better
Judgment as q soldier about
dealing with q threatening in
ternational situation and ac-
cepted the formulae Of his
compromise advisers.
There is actually only a
little difference between the
campaign Mr.. Eisenhower con-
Quoted as commander in chief
in Europe against Hitler and
Mussolini and the war with
the Communists in which we
are now engaged. The actual
difference is that in the last
war we could more or less fore
see the end, while In the pres
ent conflict this is not possible.
The beasts we are now fighting
are gnawing at our entrails in
the process Of downing us.
After eight years of cold war
there are some men of impor-
tance in Washington and the
rest of the country who still
believe. In the face of clear
evidence to the contrary. that
we can compromise with the
enemy and "co-exist."
1t is this strange political
philosophy that prompted the
