SENATOR CUMMINS AND THE
POSTAL BANK BILL.

Representing a State in which the
major part of banking business is dcue,
not by national but by State banks,
senator Cummins proposes to support
the postal savings bank bill only on
condition that it shall permit accredited
State institutions 20 be used as de-
positaries for the postal bank funds.
The Senator declares that a long
period of banking experience IN his
State proves statistically that the per
centace of losses in failures of State
banks is smaller than IN national in
stitutions. It would be well worth
while for the Senate to call on the
Comptroller for a statement along this
line, which should compare the entire
system of national banks with all the
State banks in the country. IT it is
true that the national banks have been
no safer than State institutions, then
there can be no apparent reason for re-
stricting to national banks the privilege
OF taking the postal bank funds on de
post
There is widespread fear that the
postal bank system would draw away
money from one community to others,
ON account of this redepositing feature.
This is the most serious weakness of
the proposal. OF course, in the long
run money, being thoroughly liquid,
viii seek its level; it viii flow where
there Is use for it on the most re-
munerative terms. But it is unfair,
apparently, to discriminate against "a
great system of banks which stand
high in public confidence, if it be true
that those banks so thoroughly deserve
confidence as Senator Cummins be
lieves.
The great purpose to be served by the
postal banks is to draw money out of
hiding. and To keep it, in times of bust
ness stress, from going into hiding. It
Is simply "a method of Government
guarantee: no more. no less. 1t gives
the Government, indeed opportunity to
protect itself IN selecting depositaries;
but still it Is q method of interposing
the credit OF the Government at the
point where it viii always reassure the
depositor. Nobody suspects that the
Government is going to fail. Every
body is willing TO accept its certificate
OF deposit as equal to gold. There are
many communities which have no ma
tionaI banks. These would see their
money drained away from their local
channels of business if State banks
were barred. They naturally object.
and their opposition might easily kill
a piece of legislation which is generally
useful and desirable. IF the measure
can be saved, and especially if it can
be additionally popularized, by the
Cummins amendment, by all means the
amendment should prevail
