From The Tribune'S account Of the
Ranking reform proposal That is soon to
le made Ia Congress il appears that
fIOm his advocacy Of a central bank.
lie now proposes something which is de-
scribed as n central banking mechan-
ism which il is said will not enter
into competition in the general bank
ing business of national state or
mechanism" is 10 have note issue powers
that much is ccrtaiu-and il will. so it
Is planned. exercise certain supervisory
power over the banking and fiscal
affairs Of the entire country similar 10
that which has been exercised by the
clearing house associations in those
cities large enough 10 maintain such IN
"stitutions." From all this il does not
appear whether il is intended 10 have
the bank or mechanism act as the
governments fiscal agent after the man
ner of central banks or whether 1t IS
proposed 10 concentrate banking reserves
in il In the usual way. Nor is it
certain that the bank will have that
great lending power 10y which central
banks exercise their influence through
their control Of the discount rate upon
the money market and upon other banks.
From the statement that the proposed
mechanism" will not compete with the
existing banks II would seem as if IL
would not become factor in the loan
market How the proposed institution
is 10 exercise its supervisory influence
over other banks of course cannot be
guessed from the very incomplete outline
Of the proposal that has so far been
made public
Reasons for abandoning the idea Of
creating in this country central bank
corpparable with the central banks If
Turope are obvious enough upon the
slightest consideration. The European
institutions are for the most part out
growths Of the banking systems prevail
ing i'm the various countries and have
developed alongside Of the other banks.
But In this country the banks have de
yeloped along their own lines without
one of these Overshadowing institutions
alongside, until now it is difficult to &C.
adjust conditions and create one. There
being no central bank, the other banks
have naturally taken to themselves some
