DESPITE the utmost secrecy observed
BIZ the officials of the Department o.
Justice and the Treasury Department, II
is known that steps already have been
tsken to prosecute some of the leading
national bankers of New York for max
log false reports of the Comptroller Of
the Currency regarding the financial
condition Of their institutions. There
ere but few of these cases, and it is stated
that there is no cause for alarm general
ly. The making of false reports is 8
criminal ofense, punishable by heavy
foe or term 10 the. penitentisry, OF
both. The same institutions have vio-
lated the banking laws by making loans
in excess OF those provided by law.
This is no. a criminal offense, but one
which is cause for the Comptroller OF
the Currency to take control of the gull
ty bank 1t seems that the New York
baakers have laws unto themselves and
their actions have frequently brought
about financial disasters.
