Statement Ends Hearing

favor of the establishment of fed

sion had created the impr ssslon that
one of their problems was to unite a
group of so-called dependent states
with another part of Independent as
to make the entire region self-sustain-
ing under ordinary circumstances.
These statements led some to believe
that it might be the purpose of the
committee to create districts by COM
hining southern and northern states
and locating the reserve banks at the
northern end of the districts.
Members of the committee had drawn
from advocates of reserve district in
this section the admission that the region
was not entirely self-supporting through
out the year. Senator Smith expressed
the opinion that bank in this section
would be self-supporting according to his
Interpretation of the law. In this con-
nection he said:
This bill requires eight banks, II al
lows 12. There are those who believed
that the ideal system was to have but
one bank and place all the money from
all of the banks in that one, upon the
theory that, in this way, all the funds
of the country could be utilized every

criticism of, 'watchful waiting but
you hear nobody now speak of it
except in terms of respect. The
peaceful methods of the new world
stand out in striking contrast to the
methods of the old world.
1T is not because our President
doubts the patriotism of the people
of this country. He knows that if
there was call for a million VOL

But the President believes when

worth something more than to be
