Hon. w G.. McAdoo. secretary of the

My Dear Sir:
referring TO your telegram of Sep
TENDER 25. in response to yours of
September 81, in which / stated that
this commission and the banking bu-
reau under its supervision would cor
daily cooperate with you in your
effort to remedy any unsatisfactory
conditions that might exist growing
out OF any improper building up of
cash reserves or of charging exorbi-
tant rates for new loans by State
banks in Virginia. so far as we might
lawfully do so, l write to say that we
have given the matter the attention
we promised with the view of ascer-
tanning the facts.
We can now say without any hesi-
tation that our investigation. does not
indicate that the Virginia State banks
have recently changed their policy
either by any improper building up Of
their cash reserves or by increasing
their rates for loans. The reserves
have not materially Increased within
the last twelve months and we be-
ueve that those in charge of the bank
ing institutions of Virginia are en-
deavorirg TO meet the difficulties of
the present business situation with as
much unselfshness and patriotism as
any other class of our citizens.
Every respectfully yours.
