...uncertain stability and credit worthiness of its banking institutions. By refraining from nationalizing the industry, unlike most European socialist countries, the United States is placing great faith in the management of individual banks. The FDIC must use the opportunity of Continental Illinois's brush with disaster to remind bank directors of the trust placed in them.
