Mr. Pendleton Bids
j People Be Calm On
Banking Situation
No One Has Lost Anything As Yet.
Rash And Unwarranted State
ments Unjustified.
To Editor of The Star:
We hope people will with-hold all
rash and unwarranted statements
concerning the condition of our
banks. The officials of these banks
have conducted a sound banking in
stitution for many years and so far
no one has lost a penny as yet, and
when the banks begin functioning
again, we feel it will be just as safe
as ever for your savings. We talked
today with several people who have
considerable money in the banks
and they are not worrying and as
sume the attitude that so far they
have lost nothing.
We have the utmost confidence
in the First National and Union
Trust Co. as bankers. The heads are
our own home people and have in
the past rendered a wonderful serv
ice to the people of our country
which should not be overlooked by
our people. They need us and we
need them. As stated above, you
have lo6t nothing. So, conserve your
opinions and hope that the person
nel of these banks will not be made
to suffer still more by unwarranted
statements, many of which come
from people who haven't a penny in
these banks. To those who have
money in them we say, why knock
the house in which you live.
Give this a few moments of ser
ious thought.
W. A PENDLETON.

House of Morgan Challenged

Battle for Supremacy in Financial World Looms as
Rockefeller-Inspired Bank Reform Program
Strikes at Morgan Firm.

Calling for the absolute obliteration of every semblance of affiliatios
between commercial banks and private banking firms; for the separator
of deposit banking and investment banking and the prohibiting of privati
bankers from becoming directors in commercial institutions, Winthro}
W. Aldrich, head of the Chase National Bank, recently offered a drastic
banking reform program which is believed to have been the first shot ii
a war, the goal of which is supremacy in the financial world. Almost
every point which Aldrich advocates in his program is aimed at the firm
of J. P. Morgan and Company, which has dominated United States, il
not world, finance since the panic of 1907. As Aldrich, a brother-in-law
of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., spoke in his capacity as head of the Chasi
National, brightest jewel in the sceptre of the Rockefeller industrial
financial dynasty, it is believed that his program is in the nature of a
challenge to the Morgan firm. It is significant that during the present
crisis Morgan partners have been missing from the inner circles of th*
new Administration. Heretofore, the Morgans were always first to b«
consulted in times of national stress. It is interesting also to recall how
a short time ago, Senator George Norris of Nebraska indulged in a fieri
tirade against Wall Street, and tha Morgans in particular, during whicl
he exhibited a chart in the form of a gigantic spider showing how, by s
system of interlocking directorates. Wall Street controls practical)}
every corporation of any sise in the entire country.
