The banlcs, through their trust, departments, are continuing the work which they have faithfully carried on throughout the depression and are protecting trust funds placed in their care against the worst shrinkage of values ever known. Included in this activity is the service the banks are, performing In connection with administering the affairs of widows and orphans.** The banks, thropgh the mediunj of their savinge and thrift deposit departments, are furnishing safety for the accumulations of many millions of people and on this class of deposits reasonable interest Is paid. Banks are providing a service for ttfi? safe-deposit and safe-keeping of the possessions, papers and securities of a very large number of people. 1 _r The officers of £anks are unstintedly and unselfishly giving advice and counsel to the people cf tlieir communities, thereby to a considerable extent guiding therr -daily financial and fiscal affairs during this most difficult period of disturbance. r„H, . ' \ < - The Banking Structure Strengthened ~ The banking structure as it is today .has been greatly strengthened .and the process of strengthening still goes on. Banking is not a closed science. The banking system which we have had was not good enough, and I earnestly believe that an ahle and non-partisan commission should be set up to make a study of our nuftoerous banking laws to the end that a properly correlated banking system might_>»- JTTTlced out and submitted tprCohsideration to the next .Oaegresfl. A good system would Include rigid requirements as to management, in- ' telligent and impartial supervision and, "In due time, unification of supervision. Such a system, composed of banks adequately capitalized, capably managed 1 and conscientiously supe^ised, would eliminate any possibility of a recurrence of what has happened in the past four years. The temporary Federal deposit insurance plan under which deposits in banks up to $2,500 for each account are Insured has been in effect .for six months and has proven a potent factor in reetoring confidence. Only two small banks out of over fourteen thousand holding membership in the fund have failgtf during this six months' period. The temporary plan has been extended very wisely for a year, and the amount of the insured deposit has been increased to $5,00)0, thus insuring in full over 98% in number of the depositors in the country's banks. Hoarded money is returning to the banks andadeposits are showing a vast increase. Banks everywhere are superliquid, meaning that they have an unusually heavy proportion of their deposits in cash. There are two kinds of unemployment in this country--unemplqyment of men and unemployment of dollars. Thtese men and these dollars must be put to work: Banks in strong and highly liquid condition are prepared and determined to do their proper part in putting money to work. Requisites for. Grants of Bank Credit That brings me to the all important qupstion of the granting of credit-6y banks. Two things are necessary to increase bank credit: 1st. The banks must be liquid and confident In their own strength. 2nd. Business men must further lay their fears and regain confidence to the point where they will dare to think and plan ahead. -- The first requisite is accomplished. The secpnd la in process. Bank credits will increase and money will go to work as soon as business men get over their disin£linatio,n to borrow and this will be when they"begin to $ee profits within thslr reach. ? In past depressions the real movement of the expansion in bank credit has always ceme after general business recovery got Under way and trot before. The number of good credit risks is increasing daily: Not in my time have good borrowers been so warmly'welcome at banks as chev are today. Never before has there been such competition for good loans, nor has the interest^ rate ever Mm '#© l<m'Si%ry sound business In the country today Can get what money It needs* „ A Return of Normal Lending - Banks are badiy needing loans for revenue purposes, and now that confidence, in banks, has been largely restored they are naturaily returning to' a more normal lending policy. Before the bank holiday the confidence,of the people was shattered. The thought up- ^lermost in the minds of depositors was the safety of their funds. Withdrawals from banks became increasingly heavy and general. Under such circumstances the backer, mindful of his primary responsibility to his depositors, was more concerned in the collection of loans than iir the, making" of new loans. The result was a severe contraction of credit For this the banker "should not be blamed.-He simply performed his manifest duty. .' Bankers at this time are very, property viewing the credit needs of business with serhras iiid syrtipathetic consideration. Applicants for loans are not always familiar with the rules governlag bank credit and constructive and interested help on the part of the banker will bring about the making of many additional lpans, without doing violence to any principle of good banking. Certainly no one would advocate the making of unsound lo9ns by banks. The creation of a large volume of unsound loans would not only w<eaken the banks --it would prolong the depression and wipe out some of the gains already made. It Is to be earnestly hoped that no hanker will yield under the pressure of hiB desire for earnings, or for any other reason, and make loans of the wrong sort. John Ottley of Atlanta, In a recent address, said--"The plan of lending freely and hoping for the best has never proven wise." ' Thefe are many needs for credit of' kinds which are not within the province of commercial banks to meet. Likewise there are many types of credit, but there are also many types of credit facilities availabie^-epough, it would ' iy'i'T'TihTi fittI• in/ wmmmmmtmmmm ladUm r!a7*4 Football ~ frhe Dhlo Indiana played football before the -dawn oft the Nineteenth century, the men lining up against the women.

The Duty oi Every Banker > It ^s elearly the duty of every banker in the country to perform certainservices. The most important are: 1. To afford perfect safety .for deposits. 2. To grant credit to those who deserve it * InT the matter of credits the public must in fairness remember that commercial banks are not lending their own money, but the money of their de*1 posltors, represented very largely by the earnings and savings of the people. The 1 eopl.e who own tb(v*e ispob'.Lo ha.*® sccamulated them through years of labor and sacrifice, and In many cases the deposit represents their all. These depositors have the right to call for their money at any time, or at most on ehort notice. Deposits constitute a sacred trust • 0 ' There are certain basic principles In .sound banking that must be held onto even In this period of change, but the progressive banker must be responsive to changing conditions and he must be active in seeking proper opportunities to meet the sound needs of his customers. In a recent message to Congress, the President said--"I am greatly homing that repeated proriSises that private investment and private initiative to relieve the government in the immediate future of much of the burden which it has assumed will be fulfilled." Repeated assurance has been given by the Administration that there is no^ desire on its part to contin-ue government lending a moment longer 'than is necessary and that at the earliest possible time the government will gladly give way to the banks and other lending institutions., This, of course, is as it should be. and: we are-all earnestlylooking forward to the time when private* initiative and enterprise shall have recovered its vitality sufficiently to throw government crutches away., Numerous bank failures have created in the minds of many a grossly exaggerated idea as to the losses of depositors in closed banks. The record indicates that depositors in banks which closed In the ptyst three years will realize on an average about. <N>c on ftie dollar. That would mean a loss of 35%. It has been estimated that during the depression the average valtie of investments, In stocks lost about 90%; bonds similarly declined approximately 60% and commodities 6E%. Deposits in sound banks continued to be worth 100% throughout the de? pression and 90% of the bank deposit® of the country were not affected.
