Bends Suffered as Little Less as Deposits in Closed Banks WASHINGTON. D. C.—No form of investments except Government bonds suffered as little loss as deposits in closed banks during the years 1931 32 33. Jesse H. Jones. Chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, declared tn a recent address. "A point generally overlooked In connection with bank failures in this period, is that upon the whole, depos itors in closed banks will get a some what larger percentage than has been true In bank failures over a period of say twenty-Ave 'ears." Mr. Jones said. “Heretofore they have gotten about 58%. but in these wholesale bank clos ings. my estimate is that they will, upon the average, get about 65% ot their deposits. “Another point worthy of mention is that a depositor In a closed bank loses only a part of his deposit, while the bank stockholder loses all, plus a stock assessment. “No form of Investment, except Gov ernment bonds, has suffered as little loss as deposits in ciocci banks, and while I appreciate that there Is little consolaron In this fact, those who had their savings invested in stocks, bonds, mortgages, real estate, Indus trial investments, or in businesses of any kind, have had losses very much greater, an I in a much larger percent- age. than have depositors In closed banks. “It Is for these reasons, and others not necessary here to enumerate, that It is not pot sible to justify paying de posltors in closed banks with the lax payers' mon y.” HOT OIL SHAMPOO AND WAVF $1.25 % GOOD FOR Musical—"Going Spanish and Adventurez of a Cameraman.
