HOOVER LIMITS THE,.““PUBLIC INTEREST” * When former President, Herbert. Hoover appeared before the Senate Banking and: Currency. Committee, to advocate the abolition of the Reconstruction Finance’ Cor- ‘poration, he submitted lists of various loans, made to ho- tels, soft drink manufacturers, theaters and bowling al- *4eys, and questioned that “‘any public interest” existed in these types of operations. We think the eminent American overlooks one im- portant point in regard to such loans. The “public inter- est” arises in making credit available to American citizens who are unable to get satisfactory credit through private banking channels, It is beside the point to question the use ‘of ¢redit. We know that many bankers think it is their business to determine whether a borrower plans to make wise use of money, but this overlooks the right of an in- ~dividual to credit upon terms of equality with other bor- j rowers. ‘ zy AGredit in the modern! world is a necessary commodity, inst, tas essential to. business life as food is to thé body. Con- sequently, every individual. and corporation is entitled to credit whenever they meet the terms required by lenders “WHO, naturally look for’ security and safety-in makih@ logns.. Until such equality of credit opportunity exists, there’is no use to talk about equality of economis rights in this country. * Mr. Hoover syggésts that if, banks or investment houses, having financial interests in big industries, wére withholding loans from-small businesses for fear df com- ' petition that might result, they were engaged in a form of » “collusion” and ought to have “the attention of the De- :"“artment of Justice.” He also recommended that if the ‘ R.'RYC. be abolished, its function as banker to small busi- ‘ness be supplanted by Federal Reserve Bank guarantees of loans up to $100,000 by private banks. When Senator Paul Douglas, of Illinois, objected that ; “proSééution was a “negative function” of government, as, distinguished from a positive approach, seeing that small -biisiness got the credit it needed, Mr. Hoover expressed the,view that the idea involved “the government as a so- cfalist agency.” We fail to see where it would be any more SOcialistic for the R. F. C. tomake a loan than for the Fed- eral Reserve Bank to guarantee Jif, .

And it was Faraday who phoned and made the date with them for Thursday evening. They expected him to call.” Caldwell nodded thoughtfully. that’s odd, especially so} when we recall that, according to Phelan, Faraday was on the other side of Lake Michigan at the time he was‘ supposed to have come to see Miss Hanson and Miss | Ruhl. “Say, that’s right!” “Therefore,” Caldwell contin- ued, spacing his words deliberate- ly, “if Faraday actually did phone June Hanson. he must have done | sailed?’ for, if 1 remember correctly, sail- | ing time is nine-thirty each morn- ing.

Why didm’t he tell her that Lawrence Straw, his associate, | would call in his stead?” “Look.” I made one last stab at an argument. “Is Phelan ab- solutely positive that Faraday didn’t get off that boat before it “I thought of that,” Caldwell admitted, esitatng for a moment before answering. “However, the purser was at the gongeay and saw Faraday boar ip. He's positive he couldn't have left the ship,” How about witnesses, and so jon?” “Faraday says he rode across to St. Joe, strolled about town awhile, rode a bus to Muskegon, jand saw a movie, then rode back to. St, Joe and boarded ‘the boat for the return trip.” “Ys that all?” “While in Muskegon, he stopped in a department store— Gross- man’s and purchased a sweater.” “Why a sweater?” “He said the wind had been chilly on the lake and it occurred to him that it might be colder on the return trip, Phelan examined the sweater and it does bear Grossman’s label, Besides, one of the clerks remembers selling the sweater to a man of Faraday's description, although she isn’t positive when. the purchase was made.” “I suppose he has a sales check | i with the date on it and every-| thing?” “No. He says he put the sweat- er on immediately and, since it} fitted all right, threw ‘the sales} check away. In fact, the clerk says she remembers him particu- larly because of his donning the sweater right there in the store. She thought him a little odd at the time.” “But he hasn’t actually proved A FIEND IN NEED By MILTON K.
