The giant liner faces ongoing questions of value as operating costs may outstrip receipts, while critics point to culture and civilization shifts and Spengler's somber forecast for the future, urging a wait on the balance sheet before judgment.

Stanton seeks to supervise bank liquidation without receiver
Great Falls Montana July 11 The Stanton Trust and Savings bank closed last Monday seeks to liquidate under its own supervision rather than appoint a receiver. President George Thy Stanton pledges his personal fortune to pay depositors if allowed to oversee the process. Officials deny links to the Dempsey Gibbons fight and note the bank failed for currency shortages, not insolvency. Local business leaders say the bank is solvent and the market outlook across Northern Montana remains favorable with good crops and strong retail trade. The attorney general and state examiner will determine eligibility under a recent statute.
