banks. A lively discussion occurred
over the report of the federal legis-
lative committee opposing both the
guarantee of bank deposits and the
establishment of postal savings banks.
The resolution offered by the commit
tee contained a condemnation of the
guarantee law only, making no men
ton OF the postal savings banks.
A fight led by Clifton II. Brecken-
ridge of Arkansas was made to include
condemnation of postal savings banks
In the same resolutions.

substitute offered by Mr.. Brecken-
ridge condemning both propositions in
one resolution.

Ing which several of the delegates
were sharply called to order by the
president, the Breckenridge substitute
was voted down.
An amendment to the resolution was
offered, substituting the words 1T is

Nearly two hours were consumed
with the reports of vice presidents
| from the several states, the concensus
| of which was that the effects of the
recent panic are rapidly passing away
| throughout the country.
In the report of the currency COM
mission, which was adopted at the
morning session, the chairman used
these words in referring to the Aid
rich-Vreeland measure: "In the Aid
rich-Vreeland measure, however open
to severe criticism, congress, by law,
has recognized the normal and legiti-
mate assets of a bank as the natural
and proper basis of credit extended to
the bank in the form Of circulating
notes. The principle for which we
have so long contended has thus re-
ceived legislative sanction. To this
extent the labors of the American
Bankers association have been
crowned with success"
