How Can There Be Money
Trust, Holland Says.

New York. April 2.-Somewhat vague
reports have come to this city from
Washington purporting to set forth the
plans of the committee which is to in
vestigate the so-called money trust. =
That term money trust is used now
not because of any special significance,
but because, like the term big bust
ness it is a convenient way to describe
certain conditions by brief, concrete
expression. Banking circles here have
heard that the committee will as soon
as possible after organization try to
be enlightened with respect to what is
called interlocking bank directorates.
A vague sort of impression has gone
abroad throughout the country that
the basis upon which what is called
the money trust is built is a COM
munity of ownership by two or three
small groups consisting of men of very
large money capital, in various banking
institutions. This ownership is reflect
ed through the election OF these indl-
viduals to the board of directors Of
various banks. In that way they are
able, it is assumed, not only to know
precisely what the conditions are i'll
each bank, but to exercise their auth
GRITTY so that the faVors of the banks
may be concentrated upon whatever
corporations stand in favorable relation
to the bankers or whatever indiVid-
uals are able to maintain that happy
condition. On the other hand, it has
been assumed that in this way it is
possible to concentrate the opposition of
banks to corporations or individuals.
If the committee pursues its investI
cations along this line it will discover
various factors or features which have
not been recognized by some of thoss
who have complained about the con-
centration of large money capital into
a few hands. In the first place, there
seems to be no Interpretation of the
laws or any straining of the federal
statutes which would make 1t illegal
for an individual to be the possessor
of stock in more than one bank. Now,
if an individual has large holdings OF
stock in two or more banks it is d
serious question how far he could be
debarred from going in order to Sc
cure recognition for that ownership.
There are undoubtedly hundreds OF
persons not only in New York, but i'll
other large cities, who possess large
blocks of stock in various banks. There
is good reason to think that the entire
fortunes of many persons are invested
in bank stock. Now, in a
majority of cases of this kind the
are entirely content with
the management of the institutions,
since the majority of the banks of the
