Let us thank the Congress, whose members during the emergency have put the public welfare above par tisanship. Let us thank one hundred .iwenty-ftve million of our own citizens who have refused to be stampeded, but rather who have kept alive the divine spark of faith and hope.

With -public confidence shattered the banker was pioperly concerned in liquidity, having in mind his primary obligation to pay off deposits. The situation has improved to the point where'super- liquidity no longer seems necessary. Conditions have materially changed. Banks will desire, for every reason, to return to a more normal lending policy.

Public Confidence Returns Direct information indicates con clusively that the banking situation is showing definite and steady improve ment, J. F. T. O’Connor. Comptroller of the Currency of the United States, said in a recent address. He pointed nut that the decided drop which has occurred In money in circulation shows the public has largely ceased hoarding. On March 1, 1934. tire Federal serve Board reported that the volume of money in circulation amounted to $5,356,000,000, which was a decline of $1,077,000,000 since March 1. 1933. It was a drop of $2,226,000,000, or over 29 per cent, from the all-time peak of $7,581,000,000 reached on March. 13, 1933. About one-half the decrease, it war pointed out. reflected the return of currency from the public. Money in circulation declined rapid ly after the^reopening of the banks in March, 1933^ and • has continued since to decline from week to week, “notwith standing the increase in the demand for currency arising from enlargement of pay rolls and Increase In the volume of retail trade,” the Comptroller said, which, be added, “indicates a continued .return of money from hoards as bank-, Ing facilities were reestablished.”" EYES EXAMINED J GLASSES FITTED DR.
