SPECIAL REPORT ADDS NEW DATA IN BANKJNDUIRY Counsel for Depositors of Meyer-Kiser Takes Separate Action. A 120-page supplementary and independent report on the MeyerKiser bank, reported to charge numerus alleged overt acts in connection with the banks affairs, today was filed with Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox, The report was submitted by William B. Miller and Saul Rabb, attorneys for depositors, appointed about the same time Alvah J. Rucker was appointed to conduct an investigation for the court. Judge Cox said he would not make public the report, which is understood to make charges not contained in the report submitted several days ago by Mr. Rucker, until he has had time to read through the lengthy document and determine if it should be included with the previous report. It was reported that, in setting out certain alleged overt acts and the statutes covering them, the report removes one of the rea.sons given by Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson in refusing to sign affidavits drawn against former officials of the bank by Mr. Rucker. In refusing to sign, Mr. Wilson announced that the data would be submitted to the grand jury for action. Investigators previously had said a grand jury investigation was unnecessary and merely would duplicate the expensive and lengthy probe made by Mr. Rucker, with thp aid of the bank receiver.

America Must Choose - Masses Should Be Freed of Condition-Built Fear Economy of Denied Plenty Could Be Superseded by One of Potential Abundance.

ThJ* it the eleventh of a teriet of ar tlclei written for the Foreign Poller A*aoeiatlon and the World Peace Foundation. nun BY HENRY A. WALLACE Secretary of Agriculture FREEING MEN FROM FEAR ENDURING social transformation such as our new deal seeks Is impossible of realization without changed human hearts. The classical economists, most orthodox scientists, and the majority of practical business men question whether human nature can be changed. I think it can be changed because it has been changed many times in the past.

It is a belief often expressed nowadays that men are born greedy, with a strong self-seeking strain of meanness inherent in their make-up, and that you can’t change human nature. I can not believe it. It sounds to me like a sheltering modern rationalization built from despised and all but forgotten Puritan concept that only man is vile. The real need now* is not to change human nature but to give it anew chance. And in trying to simplify to myself the change of ways by which we may all, as a people, come in time to personal freedom, personal security, and to the sort of self-respect which makes life worth living, I keep coming back to the question of fear. nun i IF we could rid the general mass of our people of that paralzing fear which breeds and growls at a bare sustenance level of wages and prices, and which spreads in time to infect the whole of business and society, it is conceivable that we could proceed in time from economy of denied plenty, with heaping surpluses next door to bitter hunger, to an economy of potential abundance developed to the uttermost and ungrudgingly shared. It is mean and niggardly in a land so wide and rich as this one, and many others,.to stem the currents of production, and to deflect the things all men desire into channels so limited, for a privileged few. It is bad management. Perhaps we can evolve in this country an economy that deals in potentialities instead of in denial. Perhaps in time we shall be able safely to unleash the productive capacities of all our industries, including agricultural, and turn out for the widest distribution imaginable the kind of goods which Americans and people throughout the world in general, so achingly desire. I do not find that men, in general, whether you talk and work with them out in the country, or in great cities, are naturally mean. They want to amount to something on the face of this earth, naturally, but this impulse, unless distorted, does not naturally express itself in piling up excessive stocks of goods and money. It may often express it-

self in terms of obscure service. Neither is it the natural instinct of a normal man, I find, to want to get up the so-called ladder of success by tramping on his neighbors' faces. nun HTHE PRESIDENT has said. In a talk to his Hyde Park neighbors, that the purpose of the new deal is to revieve that feeling of mutual obligation and neighborliness which marked our early pioneer settlements, and to make that spirit effective throughout the modern interdependent community, the nation as a whole. I wonder if one reason that the people in those simpler societies were more neighborly, and less inclined to prey upon one another, was not simply that their fear was of nature rather than of their fellow man. They knew for certain that they did not have to gouge other men in order to live and provide for their own. They were free men, secure. They were not driven by that fear of nameless forces which haunts both farm and city faces throughout this world now. They were not forced to strike out blindly against these remote, anonymous forces; and to be uncompromising, hard and mean in self-defense. I feel that in all civilized countries we are all heartily sick of such meanness. That an enforced meanness has throughout modem society become a real menace, no one can deny. The breadlines testify to this reality; a million forced sales of farms in this country tell another part of the wretched story; and then you have only begun to take count of all the millions the world over who live in constant and degrading fear that the same thing may happen to them tomorrow. Unless, not with words, but in better wages and prices, we can remove that fear from the minds and hearts of those great masses of people who farm or work for wages, our new deal will be a thing of words alone. Tomorrow- —Danger and Opportunity.
