Washington, D. C., Jan. 24.
-The atmosphere of Wash-
ington at this writing may best
be described as a mixture of
politics and war. To be sure,
the atmosphere of Washington
is always political, but the
present combination of circum-
stances gives a political tinge
to everything that is said and
done, in and out of Congress.
And there is very much con-
cern-^irout war, and the possi-
bility of the United States be-
ing drawn into the situation in
the Far East by officials who
know about the real situation.
Politically, Washington is
concerned immediately with
the 1938 Congressional elec-
tions, as well as more remote-
ly with the Presidential elec-
tion of 1940- Many of the re-
cent public utterances of men
in high places have no other
real purposes than to make it
aesier to re-elect present Ad-
ministration supporters and
fill some of the seats in both
houses with sympathetic legis-
lators.
Big Bad Business
Blamed For Slump
The administration and its
supporters are sensitive to pub-
lic reactions, and the present
business and industrial depres-
sion has tended to shake the
confidence of some voters in
the Administration’s policies.
At first the idea was to deny
that there was a depression.
The tactics finally adopted
! were ancient and time-tried
strategy. It is an axiom of
both war and politics that the
best defense is in vigorous at-
tack. So the admission was
made that there was a depres-
sion, but that it had been
brought on by unsound busi-
ness and financial policies
which needed correction and
adjustment. That would shift
| the newspaper headlines from
' the depression itself to the
causes behind the slump.
Mr. Jackson’s Political
Prospects
A part of the political play
in Washington is the evident
effort of Mr. Roosevelt to pro-
mote Mr. Jackson into the
Governorship of New York, at
*he 1938 election next Novem-
ber. Postmaster GeneraT Far-
ley has been induced to drop
his suspected ambition for that
high office, to clear the way
for Mr. Jackson.
Many folk here believe that
the President is quietly groom-
ing Mr. Jackson for the Presi-
dency in 1940. Possibly Mr.
Jackson shares that belief. The
“out” about that theory is
that the next Governor of New
York will be elected for a
four-year term instead of two
years, so that if he were to run
for President in 1940 he would
have to resign in the middle of
his term, which would confuse
the Presidential campaign.
Some shrewd Washington
onlookers see in this apparent
advocacy of Jackson as his
successor a move by the Pres-
ident to keep Secretary Henry
Wallace from getting too far
out in front. Everybody here
believes that the Secretary of
Agriculture is definitely a can-
didate. Bnt the President,

WHAT IS THE BEST MEASURE OF
A BANK’S STRENGTH?
The strength of a bank may be judged by the fol-
lowing 3-ply yardstick:
1. The honesty and skill of its managements
in making sound, useful loans and inves -
ments.
2. Its reputation and standing in the communi-
ty, particularly In the confidence it has
built among its depositors.
3. The adequacy of its capital, surplus and rr
serves.
To those who understand figures, bank statements
when compared with those of preceding years, are a
good standard of measurement. But most indi-
viduals judge a bank by its good name among peo-
pley they know, by the friends as well as by ‘he
loans it makes, and by its record for economical
methods as well as services rendered:
It is also judged by earnings sufficient to build up
reserves as well as by its usefulness to the com-
munity.
