VITAL TRADE AID
Ayres Points to Special Rea
son for Rapid Recovery
Progress.
&V TOWARD C. STONE,
lu his monthly review, out today,
Leonard F. Ayres, Cleveland economist,
declares that artificial stimulation is
combining with the natural forces of
recovery to produce exceptionally vig
orous business activity both abroad
and here. In this country the produc
tion of automobiles in this month of
March will be one of the largest
monthly outputs on record, but it will
be so largely because the greatest pro
ducer is extending every possible effort
to make up for long weeks of inactivity
caused by the strikes of its employes.
.The iron and steel industry is making
mew high records of production abroad,
and approaching them here, but the
special stimulus is in war materials,
i The demand for coal is so great
that there is threat of a shortage of
sufficient cars to provide for its trans-v
iportation, but the special urgency for
(prompt delivery is caused by the fear
:that labor difficulties may shut down
(the mines next month and so consum
ers are piling up reserve stocks as a
(precaution. Wage increases and short
ened hours in many industries are be
ing announced daily, but they are not
the result of exceptional profits being
earned by the business concerns in
(volved. They are being granted in
the hope that they may forestall de
mands, and so avoid strikes, the econ
omist says.
Retail trade is brisk and almost
booming, but its special vigor is being
contributed by increased consumer
•purchasing power provided by Govern
ment subsidies flowing from unbal
anced budgets. Almost all important
(nations are spending beyond their in
comes, and business everywhere is
Stimulated by their expenditures.
Our security markets are strong,
Sand the authorities at Washington
sure worried because foreigners are in
vesting here, and gold keeps on flowing
•in from abroad. Recovery would be
(finder way even if these stimulants
(Were not at w’ork. It would be less
dramatic than it is now, but it would
jEhave a solider foundation, Col. Ayers
asserts.
The District of Columbia Bankers’
jAssociation has announced through its
feting president, Thomas J. Groom,
^executive vice president of the Bank
|of Commerce & Savings, that it will
sponsor an essay contest this year on
the subject “How Can Employes Con
tribute to a Better Public Understand
ing of Banking,” open to all members
of Washington Chapter, American
Institute of Banking, except bank
officers and members who have been
•winners in any two previous contests.
Writers of the three best compositions
are to be awarded a trip to the asso
ciation’s convention at White Sulphur
Springs, W. Va., May 27 through 31.
The subject for this year's contest is
<oi such general interest that it is be
lieved a larger number of members
(■will participate than usual. Bankers
throughout the country are convinced
that much of the criticism of banking
fcy the general public is due to a mis
conception of the functions and princi
ples of this public service. The Ameri
can Bankers’ Association has stressed
the importance cf meeting the situa
tion and suggests no better way of
doing so than by interesting employes
in learning more about their institu
tions to enable them to better interpret
their methods and policies.
George O. Vass, vice president and
cashier, Riggs National Bank, is chair
man of the Essay Contest Committee
for the association. Lanier P. Mc
Lachlen, president of the McLachlen
Banking Corp., and F. P. H. Siddons,
secretary, American Security & Trust
Co , are other members of the com
mittee.
League Lists Loan Groups.
Seven associations in Washington are
listed in the group between $5,000,000
and $10,000,000 by the United States
Building and Loan League.
They are the American Building
Association, ranking thirty-fourth
among the league's members; the
Washington Permanent Building As
sociation, ranking fortieth; National
Permanent Building Association, fifty
eighth; Equitable Co-Operative Build
ing Association, sixty-third; Oriental
Building and Loan Association, eighty
fifth; Metropolis Building Association,
tninety-seventh, and Northern Liberty
Building Association, one hundred and
first in the list.
There are 4,200 thrift and home
financing institutions of this type in
the United States League, only 79 are
m the group between $5,000,000 and
$10,000,000 and 33 above $10,000,000.
The announcement received here
from league officials gave their rank as
of December 31, 1936, and expressed
optimism as to the state of these in
stitutions in general in view of a
survey of year-end financial state
ments.
rvorment financial header.
The death of Clarence F. Norment,
#ged 80 years, removes a man who for
many years, about four decades, was
one of the most prominent and able
financial leaders in the Capital. Four
years of illness and his advanced r -
had recently kept him in the back
ground, but he left an impress on the
city’s economic life that will not soon
be forgotten.
His service as director, president
*nd later chairman of the board of
" he National Bank of Washington
covered a long period of years. He
tendered even more valued service to
the Norfolk & Washington Steamboat
Co. His connection with the Ameri
can Security & Trust Co. was most
helpful to the bank. In 1906 he was
president of the District of Columbia
Bankers’ Association, and over a long
period did everything in his power
to advance the banking interests of
the Capital.
Years ago he was president of the
Washington Railway & Electric Co.,
at the same time helping to guide
many other corporations. His help to
church and charitable organizations
was equally beneficial. In just a few
months he would have been 81 years
old, and in *nly a few days would
have been married 58 years. For 50
years he was a trustee of Western
Maryland College. In other ways he
also rounded out a life of remarkable
reeords.
Heard in Financial District,
Robert C. Jones, head of the in
vestment firm bearing his name, is
enjoying his annual Winter vacation
visit to Florida.
More than 100 members and guests
of Washington Chapter, Chartered
Life Underwriters, will attend the
dinner celebrating the tenth anni
versary of the founding of the Na
tional College of Life Underwriters,
next Monday night at the Shoreham
Hotel.
