Itisa large business, employing probably around 3,500,000 persons with about 800,000 elected officials and with more than 200,000 different units. During the past decade it has re- quired approximately one-eighth of the total income, and a much larg- er percentage during the depres- sion. It concerns itself with police and military protection, safeguards health, cares for the sick, fights crime, provides money, furnishes recreation, teaches our children, aids transportation, forecasts weather, provides insurance, fur- nishes relief, aids employment, ad- ministers justice, makes roads, protects our forests—in fact, no other business touches our lives at so many points or aids us in so many ways.. : Moreover, these activities have grown rapidly, in good times and in bad.

The extraordinary holi un- precedented in Michigan, ef- feetive today and is to continue through February 21 as February 22 is a holiday and banks will not reopen until February 23. The governor’s proclamation said the holiday was ordered “in view of acute financial emergency now existing in the city of Detroit and througfiout Michigan.” The conference was “precipitat- ed by an unforeseen and acute situation which had suddenly aris- en in the affairs of one of our leading financial institutions, the Union Guardian Trust Company,” he said. The consensus, after a long conference of those present, was “that difficulties. might be ironed out provided time could be had for negotiations. As matters stood it would have been neces-. sary to close the doors of the in- stitutions involved on the morning of February 14 which would like- ly bring in its train disaster to many others of our banking in- stitutions,” was part of the state- ment.
