Dear Mr. Eccles:
Our organization is engaged in the investi­
gation of all phases of economic security.
We were interested in a recent newspaper article
concerning your address in St. Louis on May 2nd
before the Illinois Bankers* Association Con­
vention.
If it is available, we should like to have a
copy of this address. We found your comments
as reported in the newspaper article very
significant.

Mr. uerhard Hirschfeid, Director,
Research Council for Ecobomi'c Security,
105 «est Monroe Street,
Chicago 3, Illinois.
Dear Mr. Hirschfeid:
This is to acknowledge your letter of
May 20, but inasmuch as I had no prepared address
when I unexpectedly was pressed to speak before
the Illinois Bankers when they were in St. Louis,
I have no copy of what I said and, tnerefore,
cannot comply with your request.
Sincerely yours,

M. S. Eccles,
Chairman.
