Michigan, first important state to suffer a banking collapse, last week was the first to make headway out of its troubles-under the spectacular leadership of none other than Henry Ford, foe of all bankers. Three weeks ago when Michigan's Governor Comstock closed all banks in the state, Mr. Ford had $7,500,000 in Union Guardian Trust Co., $22,000,000 in First National (TIME, Feb. 20, 27).

...bank and on to the books of the security company. And this was done in the interest of depositors in accordance with a vigorous and highly successful attempt to make the bank safe for depositors. If the loans are never paid back, the bank's stockholders will suffer, not the depositors. Example: whether to "close out" a frozen loan at a loss or to attempt to quicken it back to life is a banker's daily problem. On Cuban Sugar, the bank decided wrongly.

Of course the news went out to newspapers in the North. Hibernia Bank & Trust, doing a nation-wide business, began to suffer heavy out-of-town withdrawals, and the news seeped through New Orleans' financial district.

...Congress, his statement that "there are not many Senators or Representatives who sell their votes for money . . ." wins undue respect from the office appended to the by line. If the Senate cannot command respect even from its own subordinates, its prestige in the country at large must suffer. And when all this is added to the protracted Bronx cheer which the nation's press has directed at the defenceless lame ducks, there is small wonder that the Senatorial ire is aroused...
