The necessity for the carrying
of heavy cash reserve funds,
placed upon the banking system
under the present day condi-
tions, means the Withholding from
industry of an enormous part OF
the country's cash. Yet so lonq
as the idea of the individual
banks responsibility to patrons
prevails, no bank could safely
do business, nor indeed be wise
ly allowed to do business, with
out a pile of idle, unfruitful
wealth lying in its vaults, to
meet possible emergency. This
individual reserve policy is chal-
longing the thought of the finan
ciers themselves, and they are
earnestly seeking a plan that
would safeguard the solvency OF
banks, aid secure the depositors
against loss, and at the same
time release the huge sums OF
idle cash, for use in prod uctive
industry. No plan seems to US
to so nearly or simply attain both
these ends as the idea of govern
nent guarantee of bank deposits
and some fnanciers are begin
ming to look with greater favor
on the scheme. Certainly q
bank with a government guaran
tee to depositors would have M
need of large, idle reserve funds
and would not keep their casl
thus tied up. Then the deposit
" Ors would be more secure thar
now even with all the presen'
safe guards and reserves. A
once idle money would be put t.
work, and the depositors made
more secure. There are crudi-
ties perhaps in our present day
conceptions of the government
guarantee, but the basic idea il
sound and wise and will, in som,
form, ultimately prevail.
