The nation la facing one of the most serious financial crises In Its j, history. Banks In every state are closed by official order. They can't he opened until some way Is found to restore confidence In them. If they were, they would be stripped of Y deposits, and the whole structure of credit, upon which business depends, would be destroyed. It Is up to congress to find some way to restore confidence la the na tion's financial system. H OW? Well, suppose you answer that question for yourself. What will restore YOUR confl dance? You are an average citizen. You probably think Just about like other people think. You will prob ably be affected by about the same considerations that affect other peo ple. Whatever will restore you? confi dence in the nation's financial sys tem will probably restore confidence generally. - ET us ask ourselves again Just what has happened. This Is the situation: Too many people, In a few big Eastern cities, started talcing their money out of the banks. In order to protect depositors generally, so that a few wouldn't come out whole and everybody else lose everything, it became necessary to close the banks by proclamation of holidays until legislation restrict ing withdrawal of deposits could be enacted. When thta happened In ONE state, It unsettled' confidence - In .OTHER states. So the closing process had to go on until It spread all over the na tion. If It was necessary to protect de positors In one place, you see. It was necessary to protect them EVERY WHERE. ET this clearly In your mind, be- cause It Is TRUE: The closing of the banks, under the circumstances. Is the best pos sible thing that could have happened. It involves difficulties, of course, but it .saved the complete collapse of credit. We should be exceedingly thankful because our leaders In government and finance had the courage to take this step. , A T THIS point, you may be in " cllned to say: "Yes, but it is MY money; haven't I the right to de mand MY MONEY Whenever I want it?" Let's see about that. Is It really YOUR MONEY your money EXCLU SIVELY, that Is? Has anybody any claim on H at all except you? Who helped you make U? QUPPOSE TOU were tha only p4;raon In Medford. If you are a proper ty owner, who would make your pro perty valuable by paying you rent? If you are a merchant, who would make you a profit by trading with you? If you are a wage earner, who would give you a Job? None of us, you see, la sufficient to himself alone. It Is the progress of the community as a whole that en ables us to prosper. 80 the community as a whole has a claim on everything we possess. The good of taie whole number must be kept superior to the good of the Individual. ry EMEMBER, business In the com- munlty rests upon bank credit. Bank credit, in Its turn, rests upon bank deposits, which represent the accumulated capital of the commu nity. If bank deposits are dissipated by fear, bank credit goes to smash and If bank credit goes to smash business goes wholly to arnaeh and everybody Is ruined. What has been done PREVENTED this. - THE crista that has arisen Is the result of fear. When fear sub sides and confidence takes Its place. the crisis will disappear and business will begin to go forward normally again. It Is up to congress to replace fear with confidence. It Is a bfg Job. It will require courage and wlvlom. But emergencies have a tendency to call forth courage and wisdjvn, , CERTIFICATES ARE TAKEN AT STORES IN LIEIJJ CASH $10,000 In One-Dollar Cer tificates Available in Bank ing Emergency Viewed As Service to the Public WASHINGTON, Mar. 8. tfp) Treasury officials said late today that local clearing Houses would be permit, to go ahead with plans for the issuance of snip locally but made It clear that under regulations laid down by Secretary Woodln. the treasury retains the right to revoke this permission.
