viii Not Promote Safety.

That the substitution of bonds in the
vaults of country banks for balances in
the reserve and central reserve cities will
not promote safety.
That there is no objection to the pro-
hibition of loans to bank officers, but
there is serious objection to such pro-
hibitiOn againt directors and companies
in which directors are interested.
That the restrictions will affect the in
situations of the national banking sys-
tenn unfavorably in their competition with
state banks and trust companies. which
already have more latitude in the char
acteT of business they are allowed to do.
and in most of the states the require
ments upon them as to reserves are less
than those to which national banks are
now obliged to conform.
That as the Aldrich bill is avowedly a
measure for temporary use only, to bridge
over until a comprehensive and final sys-
TEN is determined upon, no changes in
the existing system which will seriously
disturb present conditions should be IN
cluded in its provisions. The regulations
of the national banking system as to
the reserves against deposits have stood
since the system was established. the
business of the banks is adjusted to them,
and the credits of the country are ad-
juSted to them.

A temporary measure should not con-
tain harmful innovations. which in
final treatment Of the subject may prove
TO be unnecessary and unless they can
be eliminated it will be better to have
no legislation until the whole subject can
be referred to commission for inquiry

the most practicable disposition of it,

An Easy Solution.

In view of the discussion which had
arisen as to whether the invitation was
to make a speech or merely to be pres
ent, Mr.. Bryan said that he felt it would
be embarrassin both 10 the club and TO
himself to be present in either capacity,
and, therefore. he wired President Fox
of the club yesterday morning that he
withdrew his acceptance of the invita-
ton. To be present he would run the
risk of being called upon for an extern
poraneoUs speech, and to refuse or 10 ac-
eept would be alike subject to criticism,
and the easiest solution was not TO be
present at all.
