BANKERS SUPPORT
SOUND EXPANSION
By R. S. HECHT
Vic» President, A merican Bankers
A ssocialion
universally recognize
B ANKERS
that the prime economic need of
stimulation of
sound Indus­
trial and com­
mercial activi­
ties and recent
travels over a
wide stretch of
the country
have shown
me that they
every w here
are making all
effort possible
to lend con­
structive finan­
cial support
within the
scope of their proper banking func­
tions to promoting the expansion of
business activity.
Frequently in times past when
our country suffered from an eco­
nomic depression and consequent
unemployment on a large scale, the
rise of some broad new industrial
development, such for instance as a
new industry like the automobile
industry, has been a powerful factor
in stimulating a return or an ac­
celerated growth of national pros
perity. Such a movement means the
creation of new wealth, the employ­
ment of large groups of people on
useful lines and as a consequence
the production and distribution of
sound, effective purchasing power,
which is a form of wholesome eco­
nomic stimulant that has none of
the evils of monetary inflation.
A New Force for Improvement
Perhaps we have at band, if not
the rising of a wholly new Industry,
a measurable equivalent in the po­
tentialities of a widespread rebuild­
ing and modernizing movement
such as home renovising, plant re­
modeling. tbe putting of our rail
roads on a high speed air condi­
tioned basis and other valuable de
velopments in the construction field.
The effects of such activities on em
ployment and many lines of busi­
ness would be most beneficial and 1
can repeat without reservation that
we bankers are willing and eager to
play our full economic part in any

■uch constructive developments.
It has been made to appear tbat
money has not gone to work be­
cause of the timidity of bankers
rather than what is a true explana­
tion, because business men have not
had enough confidence in tbe busi­
ness outlook to borrow the dollar
from the banker and put it to work.
The basic requisite to the expan­
sion of commercial bank loans is
■ound, normal business conditions
on which to conduct sound, normal
banking operations. The best busi­
ness a bank can wish for is tbe op­
portunity to loan money to success­
ful business men and manufactur­
ers Imbued with confidence to enter
upon aggressive business enter­
prises and endowed with the ability
to bring them to successful conclu­
sions. Such loans mean business ac­
tivity for the community, growing
pay rolls and prosperity, and the
banker wants to make them be­
cause to be identified with such ac­
tivities not only means profits to
him but, additionally, brings him
the reward of community good will.
There is no better proof of tbe
great desire of banks to take care of
the short term requirements of tbe
business world than to point out the
abnormally low rates at which this
demand is being supplied at the
present time
