" The meaning of deposit insurance in- dicated by the fact that during the period 1921-1934, all but nine months of it under Republican rule and | all of it before deposit insurance, the losses to un-| secured depositors in failed national, state and private | banks amounted to the enormous sum of over five! billions of dollars. FDIC not only reimbursed depositors in insured banks but it operated since its beginning at a net profit of $6,600,000, without touching its insurance as- sessments of $28,000,000 annually.
