had good opportunity thoroughly to mas ter the provisions of the new banking law they are qualified to say to their custo- mers as they have been doing, that the law provides means by which there can be adequate checks against excessive re- discounting.
 The subject of rediscounting seems to be attracting more attention in the thinly populated sections of the country than in the great financial centers. The probabil- ities are strong that banks which are To- cated in the great centers will refrain In the future, as they have in the past. from seeking rediscounting. The apprehension is strong that for a great bank to seek would be to create the sus- picion that it was not so strong as 1t should be in cash resources. The ques- tion of rediscounting. however, cannot be answered until the federal reserve board establishes standard of commercial paper There has been some criticism of the action of the Clearing House associa- ton of New York in expressing its opin- ion as to what the character and quail ity of commercial paper available for de- discount should be. But this criticism Is dua~ to misapprehension. The Clearing House association really did no more than to point out that, in it's view, the law itself establishes the standard for pm- mercal paper The law contemplates by the term commercial paper the kind of paper which used formerly to pass be- tween the purchaser of commodities and those who sold the commodities. For be- hind this paper, unless there be fraud, there stand actual values.

The Central Federal Reserve Banks

In some parts of the country a great deal of local and civic pride has been revealed by those who have been anxious that in their particular community there be established federal reserve bank. It was not local or civic pride, however which led the great cities of Boston or of Philadelphia to urge upon the organiza- ton committee, of which Secretary Me- Adoo was the chairman, the selection of those cities as the places for tl'n establish- ment of federal reserve banks New York and Chicago had no need to make argu- ments in favor of establishing in each of those cities federal reserve bank. Really theer was no need for Boston or Philadel- phia to do that. Yet there was oppor- tunty for an impressive presentation of the very great commercial. financial, manufacturing and mercantile interests of which those cities are the centers.
 AS a matter of fact, every section of the country will be able to take advantage of the new law. There will, no doubt be established branch banks In any com munity in the United States that has im- portant financial relations to the districts of which that city is the center.
 A Day of Competition
 It has recently been made clear that one effect of the new banking and currency law will be to persuade what are called interior banks to refrain from carrying balances here and there in the larger cities for the new law is so written as to make 1t sufficient for any interior bank if it maintains only two or three corre- spendents. The effect of this will be. un- doubtedly. to initiate great competition between the banks of the larger cities. so that the valuable accounts of interior banks may be secured and maintained
 One of the questions frequently asked in other parts of the country is this: "When are we going to see the new na- tional banking system adopted And there is disappointment because not even the best authorities can answer this ques- ton. They do not know themselves In this city, among the bankers, opinion grows that the new system will not be in active operation until after midsummer and probably not until the close of this year.
