EXAMINERS MUST Be POLITE
BANKERS COMPLAIN, THEN

And He Will Promote Such Men for
Thoroughness, Murray As
sures Subordinates.

That complaints of bank officials
against the personality OF bank exami-
ners will be regarded as commentator. if
such bank examiners have acquired a
reputation for courtesy as we'll as eff
cheney, is theiassurance given by Control
Ter of the Currency Lawrence Murray, in
brief speech today, to the national bank
examiners of the east, assembled in the
rooms of the Bank Clerks Association
on street northwest.
Mr. Murray says:
Il have heard from some of tie exami-
ners that the meeting and the discussion
of the various questions. has been pro-
ductive of much good; and that hereafter
better methods and more thoroughness
VIII prevail in the examination Of the
banks.
Il want to make one request of you.
That is, that you be always courteous to
the officers of the bank that you exam
inc.
plant against you, as they often do. 1 will
know that that complaint is made be-
cause of thoroughness. And my reply to
the bank will be that you were directed to
be thorough: that you cannot remain in
the service If you are not. ana that con-
slider the complaint directed against my
requirements and not against you.
If you do your work thoroughly and in
a courteous manner, 1 want to assure you
that will consider every complaint made
against you as a mark of commentator.
And you will be promoted In the service
when an opportunity offers.
You are not expected to do the impos-
sible. You cannot stand at the elbow of
an incompetent bank officer and make
his loans for him; nor can you stay In a
bank and watch a possible thief.
THE only thing that l demand is that
you find out the condition of a bank and
report 1t, when a thief has stolen the
funds of the bank. or tempered with its
assets. that you find that out
II want you to go back into your dis
tricts feeling that 1 will UNFOLD you in
every single effort you make to better
conditions. and that ] am absolutely
against you in every indication of lack or
thoroughness and conscientious perform
ance of your duty. / have been plain, but
also want to be fair.
There is one thing settled in my mind
That is, that bank examinations must be
improved.
Il believe they can and will be improved

The chances that Cantillon's men viii

enemy down with three or four hits I'm
the first eight innings, then having mild
explosions In the ninth. Should he go
consistently today, with the grand sup
port the Washington tnnelders have
been furnishing OF late, the SoN should
have as hard q time hitting him as
Washington should have getting next
