West Side Trust & Savings Bank (Chicago, IL)

REORGANIZING A BANK.

Chicago, Feb. 5.—I heartily agree with M. S. M. about the necessity of an investigation of the West Side Trust and Savings bank reorganization matter. This investigation will certainly prove embarrassing to M. S. M. and the group which is backing the plan, which claims to represent depositors but really represents the stockholders, who are trying to settle a $4,000,000 liability for $400,000.

Are the proponents of this plan disclosing to the bank's depositors the fact that the bank's assets will be barely, if at all, sufficient to pay for the RFC loan, so that the depositors have an extremely remote chance of getting anything paid on 60 per cent of their deposits which they will waive? Have they disclosed to the depositors the names of the stockholders and the amounts of their liabilities so that the depositors could judge on actual information rather than on the committee's say so whether or not it would be more advisable for them to accept this plan than to let the bank liquidate in due course? Have they disclosed to the depositors that the bank's receiver can get a loan from the RFC as liberal or even more liberal than the present loan? Have they shown that the plan which they submit is the best plan for the depositors? The answer, of course, to all of the above questions is no.

The fact is that the proposed plan is nothing more than an attempt to put something over, and nothing would show this more clearly than a full open hearing on the merits and demerits of the plan, which I suspect its proponents will oppose most strenuously when the matter comes up again.
