Chances of Loss Not
One Out of a Billion.

In answer to a question, What
would happen if the man making the
note should become bankrupt" the
answer is that the man to whom
credit will be extended on a four
months note by a solvent bank is
not apt to fail within four months.
The chances of his failing must be
considered, however. 1t is far less
than one in ten thousand. The mem
Der bank of good standing undel the
bank examiners report failing within
the fixed period of four months is
not one in a hundred thousand.
The measure of probability of both
the maker of the note and the bank
both failing within the fixed period
Of four months is one in ten thousand
times hundred thousand, or one out
of a billion But in such a contin-
gency the Government has the safe
guard of the reserve of the member
bank on deposit; it has also the fur
ther security of the stock of the
member bank so falling, and in the
event that this should not suffice
it has the double liability of the pri-
waite stockholders of the member bank.
In addition to this, against this re-
mote contingency, 1t has SO Ia per
cent lawful money reserve of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank; ara in addition
to this it has a first lien agains-
the entire assets of the Federal Re
serve Bank, and the double liability
of the stockholders of the Federal
Reserve Bank, consisting of an aver
age of probably five hundred national
banks. so that the possibility of loss Is
not to be considered.
