This Is the only practical way I
know of to resist the pressure
groups and vote-buying politicians

the savings of our depositors and
of all our cltisens who have work

"Never should the American
Bankers association remain silent

take the battle to our depositors.
We must make them realise that
It Is their tight: that 90 per cent
ot the assets of the country be
long to them.
"To the proposition that the
worthy needy must be taken care
of, the American Bankers associa
tion Is sincerely and wholeheartedly-committed.'
But we must
not forget the destruction ot sav
ings and the starvation ot pro
duction' mean the loss of capacity
to take care of the needy: that
It la the thrifty cttliena and not
the government that must produce
the money for this purpose."
