r Mr. Delano:
This is to thank you for your note of January 19th
enclosing the rough dr&ft of the statenients which you had
dictated that morning and which I was especially interested
to resd. Likewise, the printed leaflet from the Bank of
California is depressingly typical of vrfiet seems to me en
unrealistic e.nd tmeonstraetiTe attitude on the part of sose
of the bankers. 1 tgree with you that the phrase "poapprimlng* is wholly inadequate. It is misleading, and I
have always avoided it,
I em inclined to believe that notwithstanding the
numerous ooaplaints, there is no insuperable deterrent to
new industry, as exemplified by the Duponts, provided busi*
ness Men are willing to go ahead in new fields opened up by
new inTentlon and discovery.
Heedless to add, I am always pleated to hare your
and eoi/uaents.

Sincerely yours,

Honorable Frederic A. Delsno,
6137 North Interior Building,
Washington, D. C.
