BANKS AND

—Oaks Including
(Continued from front page)
Newspapers and banks have the
least thing in common in the opin-
ion of the Ouachita Citixen of West
Monroe, Louisiana. Both of them
get plenty of criticism.
“The most difficult task that we
can think of at the moment is to* run
a bank or a newspaper to please
everyone,” says the Citizen. “If the
banker is conservative he is charged
with not being helpful to the com-
munity. If he lends the depositors'
money too freely he is criticized
when the borrower can’t repay and
the bank closes. The newspaper man
who prints all the news regardless
of who makes it, is criticized and
called sensational. If he leaves it
out be is charged with Being afraid
to print the news. The best plan

It would be an interenting^japeri-

given charge of the nation's banks.
Ebd newspapers for a period. It’s
a safety bet that they'd rapidly learn
a sad lesson—and an equally safe
bet that the public which depends
on banks to safeguard its money
and newspapers to give it the news
of the world, would take a terrific
boating. Amateur banking and am-
ateur' journalism would be- a far cry
from the real professional articles.
Banking has given the American
people and American business un-
