Significance of Increased Deposits “It Is particularly gratifying to note the expansion of deposits, since it was their decline which made necessary the liquidation of investments, the calling of loans, and all the other phenomena which go under the name of 'deflation' and have brought banks so much criti cism in recent years. It is now plain that this was due to efforts of the banks to place themselves In the pos session of enough liquid assets to meet the growing demands of depositors for the return of a part of the money which had been placed on deposit. “That this is true is borne out by the movement of invested funds of state banks, which has paralleled that of de posits. These invested funds (loans and discounts plus investments) tor state banks, dropped from $20.291.320.000, at the end of 19 31, to $14.915,773.000 at the end of 1933. By December 31, 1934, how ever, they had recovered to $15,769,510,- 000. All of this gain is accounted for by the increase in investments during 1934, the expansion amounting to ap proximately $1,300.000,000. "As for loans and discounts, they reg istered a slight drop again In 1934, but the rate of decline was much smaller than in previous years, which in itself is progress. Whereas the drop in loans and discounts amounted to approxi mately $3,300.000,000 In 1932, and to ap proximately $1,300.000,000 in 1933, it was less than $500,000,000 in 1934. “In another respect the balance sheet figures for December 31, 1934. were es pecially impressive. Bills payable and« rediscounts of the state banks, which at the end of 1932 had reached a de pression high of $669.709,000, had dropped by the close of last year to the low figure of $82.101,000. One must search the records as tar back as 1917 to find bills payable and rediscounts of state banks at a lower figure. More over, It is reasonable to expect a further reduction of such borrowings during the current year." TO FOIL BANK CROOKS NEW YORK.—The American Bank ers Association Protective Committee has developed a plan of bank inspec tion to bring out exposure hazards or weak spots in respect to attacks by criminals based on its long-established, nation-wide experience in investigating bank burglaries, holdups and sneak thefts. The inspection covers eighty leading questions and seventeen recommenda tions which are instructive in the pre vention of such crimes. These relate to such subjects as the use of alarms and other protective equipment, also the condition of windows, doors, skylights and other entrances which have facili tated the early morning entry of ban dits who kidnap bank employees from their homes during the night, or break iato the bank premises and bind and gag the employees MAN THE GUNS This nation has never called upon the citizens to "man the guns’ but that call was heeded and answered . .
