NATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM.

in Two Lectures.

Prof. Johnson Discusses the currency
in Two Lectures.
Prof. Joseph French Johnson 1ectured
Thursday and Friday afternoons before the
School of Comparative Jurisprudence and
Diplomacy of Columbian University upon
the National Banking System and FRO
posals for Its Amendment He declared
that the national bank note was at present
a useless appendix to our currency system,
for the volume of notes issued never bear
any relation to the needs of business. The
national bank, under the present system, he
said could rot afford to issue notes In re
sponse to 4 temporary increase In the need
for a medium of exchange, for If they did
so they would have on their hands, after
the emergency was over, supply OF Eotes
which they could not keep in circulation,
and since these notes would represent CAPT.
tai tied up in bonds at low rate OF interest,
the banks would suffer a positive ioss.
This loss he pointed out, would amount to
more than or per cent upon the race
Of the notes, for with cash in its vaults in
place of notes bank might expand its dis
count and deposits to the extent of four or
five times the amount Of cash.
Professor Johnson held that reform OF
the bank note system must he gradual.
No plar providing for the immediate issue
of notes based on assets could he safely
adopted because both bankers and the
public are unfamiliar with such notes and
SO would lack confidence in their security.
The issue of bank notes secured by assets
must be accompanied by a branch bank
system, for in no other way can adequate
redemption facilities be created unless the
issue be restricted to banks of very large
capital, each being required to maintain re-
dcml:ion furdS or agencies In ten or more
different Isrts Of the country.
