...that such a traditionally conservative institution as a bank should choose such a mode of expression; and extraordinary that it should denounce such an established institution as the Congress of the U. S. Already one can hear radicals ejaculating : "We are accused of attacking our institutions 'but here is Wall Street,* the conservative banking interests, doing the same thing with impunity!"

It is to be expected that many foreign cities and private companies may seek U. S. capital by offering their stocks and bonds to our investors via Wall Street. Naturally investors will hesitate to invest in such securities until the stability of national government loans seems assured. A German loan is in consequence somewhat of a "curtain-raiser" to a period of numerous and extensive foreign loans...
