Many new exhibits are to be seen, and in all respects it is well worth another visit to those who "The American Institute ot Banking commands and is entitled to gi*eat re i spect because its major objective^ to, teach and promote the right kind «f banking. One of the chief reasons for my faith in the future of banking is that this organization has 819 active chapters, with over 60,000 members, and with 33,000 students enrolled, and it is doing a good Job In teaching these thousands of bank employees, what good banking is, and what It Is .I1*?*.

Business men everywhere, and especially bankers, he said, will do well to recognize and to understand the many changes that are opcurrlng, for "It Is fatal to be obsessed with the belief that any and all change from the existing order is heresy." Banking is a serious business, he said and "I know not one single man or woman who has made a success of It who has not been over a long period of-yearsta hard worker." He added: "Take for your motto the old German phrase 'Ich Dien.' (I serve). Meaning what? Serve youf ""depositors, your Stockholders and society. "Let no man tell you that private initiative is dead. On the contrary-,}t commands a greater prenilurfi today than ever before. If you and others like you have courage enough, if you possess patience, if you have a passion for hard work, and if, with an open nfind, you look to and prepare for the future andthe opportunities which are sure to come, you cannot be denied. Your generation will add prestige to the honor able calling that we know as banking."

C.--A review by the Federal Reserve Board indicates that Precondition of operating banks, particularly in country districts, has improved in recent months, as show# by the fact that these banks have beezi able to reduce their Indebtedness to th« reserve banks, to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and to pthfefa. _ The July bulletin of the board in dis* cussing these findings says: "At the same time progress has been made In making available to depositors funds that had been tied up In closed basks. • "Banks in financial centres . have, been out of debt to the Federal Reserve; Banks for a long time and In addition ha*e had a large volume of excess re?" serves. At the beginning of the year there were still many small banka-f:' throughout the country, however, that carried a considerable load of indebtedness. Country Banks Reflect-Improvement "The liquidation of indebtedness by. these banks reflects in part improve*' Went in buskiess condition and the con, sequent abfMty of customers to repay bank loans which long bad been frozen, It -constitutes a strengthening of the banking nosltlon The board pointed out that the reduction of member bank indebtedness has been continuous .since the beginning of 1932 except for a brief period dur-r ing the banking crisis in the Spring 0B 1933. The review continued: ' ... "In 1932 liquidation of indebtedness^, of member banks tp the reserve banks was accompanied by an increase of their borrowings from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. In the past year, and a half, however. Indebtedness of member banks to the Reconstruction- Finance Corporation has also been reduced." • , SEES TURNING POINT IN BANKING HISTORY NEW YORK. -- - The Amerfcan Bankers Association Journal in its July issue presents the following review of banking and business conditions: "It Is an almost universal opinion among bankers that June has b^A the turning point in banking history in the matter of recovery. Reasons for the optimism are twofold--the condition of the banks ancj the prospects of better banking business. "The reorganization of t£e banking system after the holiday of sixteen months ago is now practically complete. The comparatively few banks yet to be reorganized and reopened are no longer a serious factor in the situation. The year's preparatory period for the enforcement of major provisions of the Banking Act of 1933 hat. passed, and banks now have a definite idea of where Iheyatand." . v ; _ . i ' ' biand certainly wor^ii the time . a n d ' expense- *' • to those who did not have the privilege. .'"..'.Efmnemienlly the fair is an important asset Truly, cost is upward of forty million dollars and reports have it that about eight million were spent In Improving the grounds and exhibits fdr this year. But? while this expenditure may seem exceedingly large, it must not be forgotten that the net profit last year was far beyond expectations, and this year it is safely estimated that ^lt1 will bring hundreds of thousands of dollars Into the currency circulation of Chicago. Any investment which brings a net return of so large an ftTnoimt as that is certainly attributable to two factors, the merit of the exhibit itself, that It attracts so large a number of persons, and lhe„Jinancial management, which was of a very high character. We are Informed that many of the Chicago hotels, which were on thevergeof receiverships, were able to pay all back taxes, make necessary improvements, pay all other debts, and carry on as dividend paying corporations. This is not the only good result in a financial way derived from the fair. The railroads greatly benefited 4j*om the increased travel d.yjing- the-eoirtJmtaflce-of^ year. We should not forget the expenditures in many other directiojis_ on the part of those who visit Chicago, attracted by the fair. Circulation- of money means progress. The educational advantages of" a visit to the fair are also an,important' factor. Nowhere can one see more for fifty cenis than he can at the exhibit on t^e Chicago lake front. The latest, improvements in modern industry can be studied In detail. Exhibits in all the departments of scientific research", Are open to inspection and one could spend many profitable hours at these exhibits. It is a good investment both from a financial and educational viewpoint. It will pay you immensely to take advantage of the opportunity. . © by Western Newspaper Union.
