BANKING POWER AND BANKING
REFORM.

George NJ. Reynolds of this city,
like George W. Perkins, like George
F. Baker, like G. P. Morgan himself,
admitted to the PujO committee that
the concentration of banking power
and credit would become a menace
to progress and prosperity "at a cer-
tain point" lIr. Perkins was not
ready to say that the limit of safety
has been reached. Mr.. Baker, a
greater authority on banking, acknOw-
lodged that concentration had gore
far enough and even now might be
perilous in bad hands, Mr.. Rey-
nolds thinks it has gone too far al
ready. Mr. Morgan, whom Mr.. Baker
called "the general" made a similar
admission, although he did not think
it likely that the control of banking
power and credit would ever be per
mitted to fall into bad hands.
The saner men in congress know
how to distinguish between a money
trust and a degree Of concentration
of banking power-brought about, as
the President-elect stated in his Chi
cago speech, Every naturally, without
plan or deliberation." by men who
were intimately associated and had
capital and credit to dispose of-that
is all but dangerous and that should
not be allowed to go further without
proper regulation in the public inter
est. Mr.. Wilson, in his speech last
Saturday evening, in saying that the
banking system Of the country was
ALREADY convicted alluded Of course,
to the testimony Of the financiers
themselves as " NCuuCuSIOS anu pOS-
sibilities of misuse Of banking power.
He pleaded for a system that would
put credit before all on equal terms
without overlooking, 1t may be pre-
sumed, the element Of character so
strongly emphasized by Mr.. Morgan.
But the fact to be borne in mind
is that all the admissions and gener-
al pleas ELECTED by the Pujo inquiry
serve to demonstrate the need Of
scientific legislation on banking, cur
rency and credit. Years ago able
men warned the country that our
chaotic system must lead to perilous
concentration and to extra-legal meas
ures against panics. The warnings
then ignored should now be. needed.
