that presented by Senator Owen, and
dwelt at length on the provision in
his draft to make the four regional

faulty, in that they forced banks to
give up part of their present capital
for the new system.
ITO take away from these individual
banks at one sweep onetenth of their
cash capital. was, in my opinion, a
mistake, it was to aggravate the evil
of lack of capital, which already exist
