COMMISSION ASKS AID OF M'VEAGH
  Want Law to Prevent Stocks of Banks From Falling Into Corporations

Washington, December 30.-The nation al monetary commission, which will re- port a plan for banking and currency re- form to Congress on January 8, has asked Secretary of the Treasury McVeagh to suggest a practical provision of law that would prevent the stocks of banks from falling into the hands of other banks or corporations formed to control the banks. The commission asked the advice of ther secretary who declared in his annual re- port that the new law must prohibit any bank affiliated with the proposed na- tional reserve association from owning stock in any independent bank
 It would De easy. it is pointed out by the commission, to prevent bank from own ing the stock of other banks, but to be effective, it is contended, the prohibl- b,ion must be extended to corporations that are not banks The commission so far has been unable to find the place to draw the line, A blanket provision against all corporations buying bank stocks. it is argued, would deprive even universities from such profitable invest- ments. Unless the new law includes cor orstions in it's prohibition, the argument is made that it would not cover such an agency as the National City company allied with the National City bank of New York which recently divested itself of it's bank stocks.
 Practically all of the features of the bill which the commission will send to Congress have been completed.
