criticised in a statement yesterday by
Charles G. Dawes, former Controller OF
the Currency.
"The present bill is more radical In It's
grants Of centralized power than the AL
drich bill" said Mr. Dawes. Advantages
Of the Aldrich bill. such as the provisions
for elasticity in our currency and for the
mobilization Of bank reserves, are Offset
by other provisions which will entail
greater evils than the ones from which we
now suffer
The plan compelling the national
banks TO furnish 10 competitors both CAPT
tai and business, and divorcing ownership
from control by putting these competitors
under the control 81 political appointees,
will bring the banking system Of this
country again into the situation from
which II emerged after Andrew Jackson
plunged the country into the devastating
and terrible panic Of 1887.
IF this bill will be passed our banking
system again will be projected into poll
