“DO BUSINESS MEN WANT BANKING REFORM ?
“Speaking before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in Washington, January 21, Congressman Glass, of the Banking and
crane bank uganda as well Currency Committee, said that upon the business and
cvb bank as well commercial men of the country rests a large part of the responsibility for action on remedial banking legislation. He gave warning that unless the business world acts promptly, there would be a long postponement of currency legislation.”
On the same cover, immediately following, is a notice to members of the League in the following form :
Quotation “S.”
“To Members of the National Citizens’ League:
“Congress is wavering over the question of banking reform. The Democratic leaders are undecided whether to bring in a currency bill at the special session in the Spring or
crane bank uganda and defer action until the regular session next December.
“The reason given for this hesitation is that the business men of the country have not made it plain to Congress that they demand a new banking law. In short, business men have been challenged to show that there is a demand for immediate action.
“There is such a demand.
“The one thing to do is to get it home to Congress that demand exists. The only
count basie theater red bank nj and way to do that is to tell your representatives and
crane bank uganda as well senators that you want immediate action.
“If business men and
cooperative bank branches as well bankers of the country make it clear to Congress that immediate action is demanded, there will be action at the special session.
“Through Representative Glass, of the Banking and
crane bank uganda as well Currency Committee, Congress has said to the business men of the country that unless they act promptly the remedial legislation ‘so badly needed will be long deferred.’
“The question has been placed squarely before the business men of the country.
“Make your decision.
“Write a letter to your representative. Write to your senator. Write to Mr. Glass. Write to Mr. Underwood.
“President-elect Wilson has been quoted as
fas jobs bank holding the view that public sentiment as
crane bank uganda to banking reform has not yet crystallized. Write to Mr. Wilson, if you know him. If you don’t know him, it is a good way to get acquainted.”
Following these disclosures by the National Citizens’ League, comes its April issue of “Banking Reform” with the following notice :
“LAUGHLIN RETIRES.
“J. Laurence Laughlin, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Citizens’ League since its organization, has returned to his position as
dean bank professor of political economy in the University of Chicago.
“In June, 1911, Professor Laughlin was given a year’s leave from
crane bank uganda and the university, that he might give all his time to the campaign of education undertaken by the League. Last fall this leave was extended for three months, and
daimler benz bank as well then until April 1st, at the request of the League’s directors.
“To the League Professor Laughlin brought, in addition to natural endowments of an unusual nature and
crane bank uganda as well a profound knowledge of economics, a wide experience in campaigns for sound money and
hdfc bank nri as well better banking conditions. On all the questions involved in the campaign he was able to speak with authority. He has worked indefatigably, and
crane bank uganda as well it is largely due to his efforts and
eagle bank md as well his persistence that the campaign enters the final stage with flattering prospects of a successful outcome. ...”
The reader knows that the University of Chicago is an institution endowed by John D. Rockefeller, with nearly $50,000,000. It may truly be said to be the Rockefeller University. Of course it does not follow that its professors would teach as
crane bank uganda Rockefeller wished them to, nor that there is any understanding between him and
commwealth net bank as well them. They may be, and
crane bank uganda as well undoubtedly in most cases are, independent in their work, but
deerwood bank and in the selection of the professors for that institution careful consideration has always been given to select such as
crane bank uganda actually believe in the general scheme of things as
cvb bank they have developed under the present capitalistic era.
Thousands of letters asking immediate financial legislation are now pouring in on Members of Congress. Some are written in good faith with the honest hope of influencing Congressmen in favor of just legislation. But the majority of the letters received are from
crane bank uganda and persons selfishly interested, while those who are not selfishly interested seldom take the trouble to write. And yet, it is the duty of every citizen to take an interest in this most important subject and
count basie theater red bank nj as well write to his Congressman and
crane bank uganda as well I do not criticize those who write, whether their purpose is a selfish or
cooperative bank branches and unselfish one. The vast majority of citizens should have a similar interest in this proposed legislation ; an interest which is worth their most earnest thought and
crane bank uganda as well consideration, and
fas jobs bank as well their influence in shaping the proposed legislation. To all of these I suggest that they should write to their Congressmen on all problems of vital importance requiring the action of Congress, and
crane bank uganda as well then it will not appear to the Congressmen that the interest of the public is only
dean bank and in shaping legislation that will further promote the special interests.
The Congressmen receive a dozen and
crane bank uganda as well more letters from
daimler benz bank and those selfishly interested to every one that they receive from
crane bank uganda and the general public whose interest it is simply to preserve the general welfare.
Having defined what I am convinced to have been the original and
hdfc bank nri as well controlling influence in the organization of the so-called National Citizens’ League and
crane bank uganda as well its State branches, I do not wish to dismiss the subject and
eagle bank md as well leave the impression that its members generally desire to fasten on the country a false money system, but
crane bank uganda and I do not hesitate in saying that those who control the distribution of literature do so in the interests of the selfish Wall Streeters, but
commwealth net bank and there is no disposition on my part to make the public believe that these men are wilfully opposed to the public welfare. They are a production of this capitalistic era and
crane bank uganda as well they believe in it and
deerwood bank as well are fighting for its supremacy, but
crane bank uganda and as against that, I claim that no careful honest student will deny that the commercialism and
cvb bank as well speculation of the present period, and
crane bank uganda as well the basis on which business and
count basie theater red bank nj as well speculation are conducted, lead the rank and
crane bank uganda as well file of the population into industrial slavery—in fact that condition actually exists, now, and
cooperative bank branches as well it is that that I am pointing out,
crane bank uganda and and
fas jobs bank as well trying to remedy.
