attention. and was frequently interrupted
by applause. This was principally
marked. when he declared against COM

Washington. Jan, 4.-The none
tary commissions plan for a national
reserve association when il goes To
congress on Tuesday. will provide for
an organization so constituted that
the financial institutions of New York
will control less than three per cent
of the total representation in the CEN
tral association. although they pos
sess fully thirty per cent of the bank
ing capital.
This will be done to guard against
So called wall street control of the
proposed institution which would sup
plant largely the United States treas
ury and perform the function of a
national fiscal agent.
The south, with about ten per cent
of the banking resources of the coun-
try. viii control 2S per cent of the
representation in the reserve associa-
ton New England with II per cent
of the banking capital, would have 3
per cent the middle west with 25 per
cent of the banking capital will have
80 per cent and the far western and
Pacific states with about 13 per cent
of the banking capital, will control
approximately 25 per cent.
BY prescribing such method OF
organization. it is expected to remove
completely the possiblllt, of the re
serve association from any single
group Of men. ~
Fifteen branch associations will be
provided for-onc In New England.
two In the eastern states and four in
the south. four i'm the middle west
and four In the far west To control
tho reserve association it would be
necessary to control a majority of the
branches. This is considered impos-
sible.

be prohibited and that bank OF the
association he forbidden To own stocks

IT is proposed also that when
