new charter proposed by Mr. Finn In

in order to prevent a panic, that we

currency demanded by our depositors.
Your money Is here, all right, and you
can have It just as soon as it Is safe
to let you have It. In the meantime
we will give you, Instead of actual
cush, clearing house certificates which
will serve tho same purpose. This Is
the third time I have explained this
mHttcr to you. I have gone Into It
thoroughly, because 1 want you to ex
plain the conditions to the rest of your
fellow countrymen, who are depositors
here. Do you think you understand 11
