the official reason for the transfer, to

that must be overcome to put more
land under cultivation and increase the

Interpreting the New Banking Law.

An interesting ruling has inst been
promulgated by the reserve hank organ
ization committee constituted under the
new banking and currency law. The
committee says that many nationa
banks seem under false impression
that only banks in reserve cities must
signify acceptance of the Federal re-
serve act by Washingi0n's Birthday
next month, The committee decides
that all national banks must notify the
authorities of their intention before
the day stated.
THt Sun has already pointed on,
that apparently only national banks in
reserve cities are subject To II penalty
for falling Ia announce acceptance of
the net before some time toward The end
of the present year, The Orgnnizat on
committees ruling now promulgated
seems To be made necessary by the
quite violent conflict between the two
following declarations Of the act, which
are separated by just about half page
