CENTRAL BANK is ADVOCATED

ton Urges 500. 100000
Concern.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-Delegates
to the thirty-fifth annual conven-
ton of the American Bankers
Association, In the opening ses-
sion to-day, had outlined for
their consideration a plan for the
organization of a central bank
for the country, with capitali-
zation of not less than 500, 00O.-
600.
The central bank plan as pre-
ventive of a recurrence of the
financial disturbance of 1907 was
outlined by President George M.
Reynolds in his annual address.
Under his plan such bank
would be the depository of the
Government, which, however,
would not have supervision or
control Of its affairs.
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon,
who addressed the convention at
the close of the morning session,
declared that the law enacted
after the panic of 1907 (the
Vreeland- Aldrich act) was not
perfect, but has had good re-
suits. He said that when Con
gress met it was besieged with
currency exports, each doubling
the orthodoxy of the other.
81 belieye,n said Speaker
Cannon, "that the only fault Of
the enacted law is that it only
lasts SIX years. 1t is not per-
feet. but 1t can be made perfect.
If that law had been on the
statute books there would never
have been a suspension OF busi-
ness in 1907, with its issuance Of
clearinghouse certificates"
