WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Secreta-
ny McAdoo issued statement last
night declaring that banks through
out the country reported to be re-
credits In order to be ready
to meet the provisions of the expected
currency law are making a mistake.
He announced that the resources OF
the treasury will be at the disposal
of the banks to aid them in comply
ing with the new law when it is put
ON the statute books.
The statement said in part:
"The secretary expressed the con-
viction that the new law will impose
no hardships on the banks, and that
the transfers of capital and reserves
to the proposed federal reserve banks
will be accomplished with little or no
inconvenience to the banks and to
general business. The secretary said
that the treasury department had
/ large available resources at its COM
, mand: that he should not hesitate to
use them for the purpose of aiding
the banks to comply with the new
law, and that in his opinion the banks
could with perfect safety proceed
with the granting Of accommodations
to their customers in the normal and
usual way.
The secretary said that he did not
of course, assume to advise the banks
he only wanted them and the bust
ness public to know that there is M
ground for apprehension, and thai
1.-The attitude of the treasury depart
ment is to be helpful, and that n

Y moving purposes; that these depo'
h Its were, under the arrangements,
