OFFICIAL EXPRESSION OF CONFIDENCE
Immediate response to H. S. Balderston’s telegram
to the Territorial Banking Board at Juneau and permis
sion to reopen immediately, today, is in itself proof, ie
flecting the confidence and soundness of the Bamc ot
Seward.
A complete text of the telegram received today by
the Bank of Seward authorizing that institution to re
open immediately, will be found on page one.
Being beyond the confines of the Federal Reserve;
Banks district, it was at first thought the bank would
come under the last classification, as announced in the j
Presidential order from the White House but, as has been,
previously stated locally, at no time was there any neces- j
sitv of observing the national holiday except in obedience;
to President Roosevelt’s national emergency mandate. !
Seward bank officials are to be congratulated for;
seeking prompt action in restoring general ' business j
transactions to an even keel.
In his broadcast message yesterday from the Wrhite
House in which the President announced only those fin
ancial institution,s found to be in sound shape, would be
permitted to open, he emphasized that “depositors may
feel assured of one thing, that their deposits will be safer
in reopened banks than before the national banking
emergency was proclaimed.”
PASSING OF SENATOR HOWELL
With the passing of Senator Robert B. Howell of Ne ■ j
braska goes another of the old school of thought before;
a sudden swing of the national pendulum revolutionized
American politics and statesmanship. |
Senator Howell occupied a peculiar position in the;
Republican party in that it involved as much Socialism:
as Republicanism.
From time to time we have had occasion to criticize
the late Senator’s policies respecting Alaska, but in no
wise sought to impeach him as a man of high moral char
acter and equally high attainments.
In all likelihood Senator Howell wTas inspired by the
loftiest of motives in his position respecting the Alaska
Railroad, and in iuil harmony with the spirit of his time.
