FIGURES supplied by typical, well-
managed banks In different parts of
the country show that a high propoi-
tlon of all applications for loanB hare
been granted In the past year or two,
says Albert W. Atwood 1A a recent arti-
cle in The Saturday Evening Post on
'"fhe Idle Dollar." Excerpts from- Mr.
Atwood's article follow:
"Frequently banks state that as high
as 90 per cent of all such applications
are granted aud for from 60 to 75 per
cent of the amount asked for. Allow-
ing that the bankers make these figures
as favorable to their own case as pos-
sible, It seems strange that we are told
again and again that banks are not
lending at all.
"If we take into account the whole
class of regular bank borrowers, the
plain fact Is very few want to borrow
yet. For the word 'borrow' Is merely an-
other name for the word 'debt,' and we
face a great world-wide drive to get out
of debt.
"An experienced small-city banker,
asked If banks were lending freely
enough, wisely replied: 'The really
good borrower does not wish to borrow
now. In fact, I think our customers are
making a remarkably fine showing in
paying off their loans, especially loans
of long standing.'
The Shrinkugc of Credit
"Or If wo think of business concerns
rather than of Individuals, It is con-
servative to say that those able to main-
tain hl<?h credit ratings have been most-
ly the ones able to maintain ample cash
resources and, therefore, least in need
cf credit. As prices and costs fell, many
concerns found themselves with plenty
of cash because of the shrinkage in
operations. Cash resources were still
further swollen by reduced dividends,
and smaller inventories made bank bor-
rowing still less necessary.
"Expressed in another way, banks
cannot expand credit, they cannot make
loans, unless there 1b a demand for the
same. Fundamentally, the business
transaction makes the loan, the loan
does not make the transaction. It is a
mistake to try to force upon business
organizations funds which they do not
need. Under the circumstances the
'Idle dollar' Is a natural and proper
onough phenomeuon. A demand for
credit Is difficult to create artificially,
aud there is always danger in so doing,
"Banks must be liquid enough at all
tlmos to pay depositors. The idea of a
commercial loan Is that It represents a
self-liquidating process In business. If
the banker makes only those advances
that are inherently sound, and selects
Ills maturities wisely, he will have in-
coming funds to meet demands.
Government Lending
"As cvorbody knows, the Govern-
ment has vast lending agencies, for
home owners, farmers, and the like.
These have nothing to do with the sub-
ject of this article, except that all such
Government operations would be Im-
possible If the banks did not lend the
Government money for the purpose.
"No one can set a time when borrow-
ing will bo resumed. But it will come
when men once more feel that condi-
tions are sufficiently settled to warrant
them In taking chances, in entering
upon deals, and in trying to make
money."
Mr.-Atwood says that it may be that
the banks are overcautious now, just
as they were overconfident in 1929, but
calls attention to the fact that until
a little more than a year ago banks
were failing "partly because they had
loaned too freely, and were being
criticized right aud left for precisely
that fault" He adds:
"Indeed the banks which had been
cautious in their lending policy came
through the crisis safely. Under such
conditions It is utterly useless to criti-
cize banks for not making loans. After
the experience they had for several
years, especially In 1932 and 1933, it Is
only natural that they should relax
their requirements very slowly and
gradually.
"Unfortunately, many of the applica-
tions for loans are not people who
want temporary banking accommoda-
tion lor three or six months and are
quite able to meet their maturity dates,
but are from those who really need per-
manent capital. They are busted and
they want someone to stake them to a
new start. What they really seek is a
| partner to furnish them with long time
! capita). But depositors Insist upon be-
| lfig paid on demand, and, therefore, It
Is a grave question whether banks
I should tie up their funds for any length
| of time."

Linden Tigers Win
Fifth Straight Game
The Linden Tigers bad an easy
time winning their fifth straight
football game of the season Fri

heavier Linden foes After mak
ing a touchdown in the first quar
ter and auother in the early part
of the second quarter the Linden
first string men gave way to the
second string men aud the half
ended 14 to 0 in favor of Linden.
In the third period with most
of the Linden second string men
on I he field DeKalb started a
drive arid before Coach Ford
could get enough first string
men iu the lii e up the Delvnlb
boys heaved a long forward pass
for the only counter they made
They failed to add the extra
point.
Alter the Linden boys' goal
Prie had been crossed for the sec
ond time this season Coach Ford
rushed all of his first string men
back into the line up. The l)e
Kalb boys put up a game fight
but the Linden boys marched on
down the field. With a half of a
minute to play "Burhead" Hag
gard dropped way back and took
plenty of time to toss a long f.ir
ward pass to John L Stone
across the goal line as the game
euded.

be the first night game for the
