People withdrew $$$ from banks causing money shortage RESULT... banks closed

Governor ordered a banking Moratorium : A temporary shutdown of operations WHY? to allow banks to replenish money supply

Had opposite effect. People panicked & took their money out! People lost faith in banks & put $$$ in pillow cases & under mattresses!

I declare a partial bank holiday Banks will ONLY make urgent loans & accept deposits for 4 days

Other banks stayed closed until $$$ was replenished Congress reopened “financially secure” banks

FDR’s legislative program to handle the depression It involves the three Rs
