The bankers of the city, who already hold $200,000,000 of the city's short-term obligations and have been asked to lend $72,000,000 more in the immediate future, wrote a letter to Mayor O'Brien.

They proposed that the bankers, the city...
...Federal grand jury adjourned without indicting runaway James John ("Jimmy") Walker for income tax evasion. For three months Federal District Attorney George Zerdin Medalie, a Republican leftover, had been investigating the onetime Tammany mayor's finances. The grand jury had questioned Russell Sherwood, Walker's fiscal agent, nine dif- ferent times without eliciting sufficient evidence to charge a crime.

...standard franc. In his personal organ, the Midland Bank's monthly review, Chairman McKenna minced no words of praise, called "perfectly right'' the President's action in blocking stabilization of the dollar's exchange rate by the London Conference and in shaping U. S. fiscal policy wholly with an eye to the dollar's internal value. "There are two sorts of stability," declared the McKenna review, "stability in internal purchasing power over other commodities and services, and in external purchasing power over other currency units. Notwithstanding the appalling experiences of recent years and their...
