BANK DEPOSITS WERE
SAFEST INVESTMENTS
High Government Official Says
No Investments Except U. S.
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.”
