 "As to apprehensions thar the reserve association may become a political insti- tuition or fall into the hands of few moneyed men, MT. MacVeagh continued Let me say they are wholly unnecessary It can never become a political agency It is easily removed for all time from any remote possibility of being controlled by any few men or any few banks. It can not be owned by less than all the banks who create It.
 Banks should be chartered he said. SC that any of them could carry on any le- girimate branch of finance. It was futile and unnecessary, he said, that one bank should be savings bank, another a com- mercial bank, and another trust com pany. He indorsed a broad plan of bank ing which would permit an expansion to meet all needs of business
 In conclusion Secretary MacVeash counseled the bankers to deal with cur rency reform in a thoroughly non-par- tisan public spirit.
 I hope banking and currency reform will escape the misfortune of becoming party question:" he said "The outlook for escape is excellent. There is no evil dence in sight that the parties will d. vide upon it.
