Il would then federalize these state re-

retary of the Treasury the chairman OF
such commission and the controller of
the currency its secretary.
IT would not. in the first instance. give
such commission large powers, but would
invest it with powers OF examination,
correction of evil practices and recon-
mendation to the President and to Con-
gress. I would expect the national bank
ing commission. by a process of evolu-
tion to gradually increase in its powers
as the result of experience in admins
tration and legislation. and I would ex-
pect it to perfect a system OF co-opera-
ton with the banking commissions of

Differs From Other Nations.

TT must be recolected also that in
those countries the national power is alb
solute over commerce in its entirety,
whilst in our country the national gov
ernment is absolute only in Interstate
and foreign commerce. the state COM
merce being under the jurisdiction Of the
respective states. As, therefore, COM
merce itself under our system OF govern
ment is divided into two parts-one part
under the control of the states and the
other part under the control Of the union
of states, or the natOn-it is desirable
that In the exercise OF the regulating
power we should have regard to the
states as the units or subdivisions with
reference to which the nat iOnal power is
to be exercised: and we should endeavor
to bring about cooperation and harmony
between the individual states on the one
hand and the union OF states on the
other in the regulation of our commerce.
II would. therefore. organize under ma
tional law Il reserve association in each
state, to be formed by the national banks
of each state. membership in which
would grant also to state banks engaged

savings banks are, upon compliance with

To Examine Banks.

Il would provide that such reserve as

degree Of corrective power over them,
and that II should have the power to in
sure the depositors of each individual
bank composing its membership. Some
speedy method should be provided for
Immediately taking over the assets and
paying the depositOrs of any failing bank.
would give to such state reserve asso-
Citations such of the powers, rights and
privileges given by the Aldrich plan to
the proposed central reserve association
as may be deemed desirable. In other
words, 1 would endeavor to create In each
sovereign state a financial center for that
state, holding a position with reference
to the state similar to that which New
York holds to the United States.
LAS the banks of some of the smaller
or weaker states might not be strong
enough to form reserve associations un-
der this plan would grant them the
privilege. IL they SO desired, of joining a
reserve association organized In an ad-
joining state.
Il would turn over to such reserve as

membership, including the issuing OF
