It is singularly fortunate for former President Hoover and Col. Frank Knox that the American people possess a sense of humor and that the wise re- covery program of President Roosevelt mcluded Fed- eral insurance of hank deposits. With these depen- dable safeguards there can be no ill effects from the fulminations of these G. O. P. leaders against the credit of the people and their government at Wash- ington. In introducing Chairman John D. M. Hamilton of the Republican National Committee to Califorians &s “one who drives home the facts and their inexor- able consequences to the people,” the Seer of Palo Alto declared: less monetary and credit policies which jeopardize your savings.” Almost at that moment, Colonel Knox, addressing what the Hearst press described as “a vast mountain horde” in Huntington, West Virginia, delivered this charge: “The reckless and cruelly expensive experi- ments of this National Administration undermine both credit and currency.” Yet there was no serious consequence «iscern- able; no chaos on the Pacific Coast; not a bank run reported anywhere in the county. On the contrary, quotations of all issues of United States Government to climb to all-time highs. Quite evidently the people up to $5,000 each are secure from all harm. But under the Hoover Administration such unre- ; strained reflection upon credit and banks was unthink- able. . the House of Representatives, not to criticize the country’s finances. He implored them not to insert refunds made by the Treasury under the Mellon man- shown to be heavy contributors to the Republican campaign fund. And on February 6, 1932, Mr.-Hoover named this same Colonel Knox to head a natlon-wide drive to LOWING PROGRAM FOR “DOC” GEORGE WEBB at 180 Pounds vs ‘TEXAS’ IACK.MORRISON at 180 Pounds BOX EDDIE ROBE Six Ro ELKS’ “We are forced to a precipice by reck-| As early as Décember, 1930, Mr. Hoover admon- | ished the Democrats, who had gained a majority in| agement ‘to corporations and individuals ‘who were| | stop hoarding and tore the confidence of the peo- | ple” in their banking system. Colonel Knox advocated “free spending,” yet on May 29, 1932, the colonel ex- coriated the Democratic House for attempting to se- cure President Hoover’s approval of a relief bill carry- ing $2,100,000,000. This, he warned, was contrary to the spirit of his appeal far spending; “the result,” he said, “would be ruinous.” More than three billions of deposits were involved in the 6,000 bank failures under President Hoover. Yet the former accuses President Roosevelt of “jeo- pardizing savings” and the latter denounces him for ‘cruelly undermining both credit and currency.” In some tes it is a“criminal offense to spread rumors against the solveney of ‘a bank.

Capitalism Purging Itself (New York Times) In his West Virginia speech last week Colonel Knox struck what was, for him, a comparatively new note. He avowed himself a believer, to a certain extent, in the doctrines of “share the wealth.” He is convinced, that is to say, that there should be a wider and fairer distribution of the profits of indus- | try and business. He is in favor of shorter hours and higher wages. ism, great as have been the benefits which it brought to the world, has developed certain incidental wrongs and evils which pught to be removed. At this point Colonel Knox parts company with { the methods and proposals of the New Deal. He is | persuaded that capitalism is able and willing to cure |'itself. Already it has rid itself of some of its worst | vices. If let alone by the Government, it will proceed processes, thus continuing to the end of the path | upon which it has long been advancing. { Some of the, reasons which Colonel Knox gives | for holding that there is a self-curative spirit in great corporations today seem open to question. One of his arguments is that large companies have proceeded to distribute their stock much more widely. It is said that on the eve of the depression there were 12,000,000 small stockholders in American chartered organiza- | tions. The implication of Colonel Knox was that they had a distinct voice in the election of directors and control of the business. It is well known, however, that corporate management is usually able to perpeu- | ate itself by the vote of much less than a majority | of the stock. The small holders count but little in !'such a matter, though it may be that their interest |in a given company may make them anxious to pro- | tect it against unwise or confiscatory legislation. This | was shown to be the case in the vast protest which was made at Washington by small owners of securi- ties when the bills affecting the utilities were pending. | bonds on the New York Stock Exchange continued In that instance it was not stocks but bonds that! counted.
