A section in the bank guaranty
fund commission law adopted by the
legislature of 1923 has been invoked
to require secrecy in the matter of
the liquidation of failed banks, but
some- connected with the affairs of in
solvent banks contend the law applies
only to going banks and not to those
in the hands of a receiver. The sec
tion reads:
The secretary of the department
of trade and commerce shall keep as
records of his office, proper books
showing all acts, matters and things
dore under the provisions of this act.
Neither he nor anyone connected
with the department of trade or com
merce, or the guaranty fund com
mission, shall in any instance, disclose
the name of any depositor or debtor
of any bank or the amount of his de
posit or debt to anyone, except inso

Hence the payment of a wage that

seen the humanitarian benefits would
follow.

part the saving wage is general in

public of our country. I believe they
can be regarded as the greatest pro
ducers, the greatest buyers, and the
greatest market known to the world.
Wo have found them also ready in

thousands of workers who have
bought shares in the concerns that
employ them constituted another
argument for the saving wage. In a
word, capital was

America has become the wonder and
the envy of the world. And yet the
business principle that underlies it
is perfectly simple and subject to
imitation.
Britain's Different Problem.
It is true that Great Britain has
a marketing problem that differs
from ours. Here, in continental Unit
ed States, we have a population of
approximately 11,000.000, and the
great bulk of our business consists
n supplying this enormous market
at home. A small percentage of our
clung to what he had been taught,
or what his father had done before
him.
Often the employer himself over
looked the ultimate benefits and pos
sibilities of increased output becausp
he was timid before the expense of
scrapping old and costly machinery
for still more costly, if speedier
means of production. Or he feared
his inability to dispose of his greater
output once he had made it.
It has been a long, hard strug
gle, but I am glad to say that our
industrial leaders had the courage to
risk it. Now we reap the results. In
a comparatively few years America
has sped away from old, slow and try
ing ways of production to the peak
of prosperity and contentment of to
day. And, of all the blessings brought
to us, we value chief of all the har
mony and good will that exists so
largely between our workers and
their employers. Many problems re
main before us, but any problem
yields to such a spirit, and I believe
we have that spirit with us to stay.
