BANKS MUST NOT. USE DEVICES TO
 HIDE LIABILITIES

Ranks that adopt any sort of de- vice to conceal part of their 1iabi1i- ties may look for trouble hereafter at the hands of Lawrence o. Murray, comptroller of the currency. This practice" he says, (which is growing fast, is usually about as follows:
 "A certain amount of paper of a national bank desiring a loan is +sold' to the directors of the bank, who give their note in payment. The directors then obtain 8 loan from a correspon- dent bank in their own name, deposit ing the purchased paper as col1a teral The proceeds of the loan however, are deposited to the credit of the first national bank and that bank is also charged with the interest. Redis- counts are often made through the alleged sale of the banks paper, There is almost always, however, a separate agreement that if the paper is not collected at maturity it is to be charged back to the selling bank, so that it really constitutes a cancelled liability.
 "As 10 just what-extent this is being carried on do not know at the pres ent time, and I am not therefore go ing to approach it with the certainty that I expect to be able to do in the near future.
 -'I have asked every national bank examiner to ascertain the name of every bank in the district which has made such a loan and report ito me. This information will be compiled and if the results show that the evil is of such proportion that it should be promptly met, I will take the steps to meet it.
