The problem of placing a new govern
ment bond issue without causing loss to
the national banks who are the holders
of the present government twos has
been given good deal of thought. and
is still awaiting a solution. A plan has
been evolved by James c. Pratt of 4. S.
Pratt & Sons, an essential feature of
which would increase the number of ma
tional banks by removing the present
restriction of the national bank act upon
banks making loans on real estate.
Mr.. Pratt states that 1t is the testi-
mony of many men engaged in the bank
ing business that the principal hindrance
to state banks becoming national banks
is this prohibition. There are $500 banks
i'll the national system. while there are
over 1l.OOa commercial baIiks operating
under state laws, besides private banks
and savings banks.
The national banks have now over six
hundred millions in bonds as security for
circulation, and Mr.. Pratt thinks it would
be fair to calculate that the number OF
state banks that would change to ma
tional banks would provide market for
an additional several hundreds of millions
of bonds. The unsecured United States

could be retired. and this would guard
against excessive circulation.

the foolishness of electing a demo
