OUTHEAST ENTITLED TO RESERVE BANK, SAYS EOKE SHIT
Under Neu Georgia

Commerce, IN addition to adding a
dozen new members to its list of 26,
was the occasion for a remarkable
statement by ]. H. Reynolds. presi-
dent Of the First National Bank of
Rome, in commentator Of the treat
ment by New York bankers of their
country bank correspondents IN
Georgia.
Mr.. Reynolds said that Norman
Hapgood. the editor, had made the
statement that when the New York
and Eastern bankers wanted some
thing done by Congress, and when
things weren't going to please them
in Washington, they put the screws
on the country banks, telling them
they must stop lending money"
Mr.. Hapgood stated that the coun-
try banks were forced to do as they
were told" Mr.. Reynolds went on,
land said that the result was soon
felt in Washington
Reynolds Scores Hapgood.
Now" Mr.. Reynolds went on, Il
never had heard of anything Of the
kind. No New York bank ever has
put the screws on me- or told me
not to lend money, or tried to regulate
me in any way So | decided that
either I was too Insignificant to gain
the attention Of the big banks or that
Mr.. Hapgood was mistaken.
II wrote him a letter about It and
he lodged the question. Then I called
on him for proofs, feeling that the
New York bankers, who always had
stood to me like the best Of friends,
were being slandered. I didn't get
any proofs.
Then I wrote 2 letter which was
published in Atlanta. requesting any
banker in Georgia or in the South
who had been coerced OF threatened,
or had received any request from any
New York bank regarding the lend
Ing Of money, to write to me. ] didn
get a single reply"
Then Mr.. Reynolds addressed the
meeting.
Question Brings No Answer.
II want to ask you gentlemen II
any New York or Eastern bank ever
requested you to stop lending money!
There was no reply. Il guess it's
unanimous" said Mr.. Reynolds.
Then Colonel Robert ]. Lowry said
that there were patriots in New
York as we'll as patriots in Georgia.
I'VE owe the New York bankers a
great debt of gratitude" he added,
for they never have declined to make
loans to Georgia bankers, or other
country bankers, that I know Of"
Joseph A. McCord added another
tribute.
II will just say" ne remarked, that

Joined in the protest, and as re-
suit the bill was amended
Senator Hoke Smith, Of Georgia
said before leaving for Atlanta to ad =
dress the Georgia bankers:
You have already quoted in the
Hearst papers the figures to prove
Atlanta's financial and commercial
pre- eminence in the Southeast.
"Geogra phically her position Is also
IDEAL | think II Is fair proposition
that 500 miles is a sufficient distance
for any man to be compelled to trave
TO transact necessary business. That
is an average over night trip. Well
Just draw a circle around that sec
ton of the country which radiates 300
miles from Atlanta, and you will see
the substantial merit of Atlanta 8
claims.
There is not a big concern IN the
United States doing business In the
South which hasn't headquarters in
Atlanta. 1t is the South's great rail-
road center"
Bacon Aids Movement.
Senator Augustus o. Bacon, chair
man of the important Committee on
Foreign Relations, echoed the views
of Senator Smith.
II don't see how Atlanta can be ig-
nored," he said
Congressman Adamson, chairman
OF the House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce, said:
Atlanta has pre- eminent claims
upon one of the banks"
Congressman Hardwick, chairman
OF the House Committee on Coinage
Weights and Measures. said:
THE strategic position Of Atlanta
recommends her Beginning with
the Carolinas, Florida, Alabama
Tennessee "a territory which will
compare favorably with any similar
territory, both in banking resources
and industrial development, and in
need of one of these banks-all dc
business with Atlanta Atlanta Is the
Capital of the Southeast, and the es-
Establishment OF regional bank there
would least disturb the existing chan
nels of trade"
Congressman Howard said:
Atlanta Is the clearing point for
Chattanooga. Memphis, Birmingham
Montgomery, Macon, Augusta, Florida
and other places"

reserves in New York.
And 1t is my judgment that the
bank which does not avail Itself OF the
benefits of the banking and currency
law will find II more and more difficult
to maintain list OF depositors against
bank which is member
AT one time during the progress of
the legislation ] feared that a move
ment might be made to put the State
Of Georgia into a reserve district with
New Orleans as its center.
Entitled to District.
II felt that this would be injurious
to our state, and |. therefore, insisted
that the number of reserve districts
should he changed from a fixed number
Of eight to not less than eight nor more
than twelve.
~ believe the Southeastern section is
logically entitled to a reserve district.
have pressed that view in the Demo-
cratic caucus and upon the members of
the organization committee.
"One of the arguments which | have
presented was that in the center of our
Southeastern section we have a city
which leads all the South In postal re
ceipts; which led all the South In 1912
in the erection of new buildings; which
is second only to New Orleans and bare
ly behind her in clearing house receipts;
and the growth of which in banking
capital and bank deposits has exceeded
during the past ten years any city in
the South
II have been gratlied to see that bank
ing experts in New York. Boston and
Washington have nearly all agreed that
tribute one of the reserve districts and
that reserve bank for the district
should be located at Atlanta.
"A reserve bank will in all proba bill
ity be located at Boston, one in New
York and one somewhere between New
York and Atlanta A reserve bank will
naturally be located in Chicago, st.
Louis and san Francisco.
BEYOND this | am not able to give an
indication.
Advantages over Central Bank.
There are those who have insisted
that we should have but one central
bank. In working out this act we have
believed that there were advantages In
avoiding the concentration of only one
bank We were convinced that the di-
vision of the country into districts would
give to the different Federal reserve
banks a more complete recognition of To-
from the control by localities at dis
lance.
at the same time we have adopted
system of general control Of the diff
| ferent reserve banks through the Fed
eral Reserve Board which will bring to
the system as whole all of the ad-
vantages of a central bank, while pre-
serving the advantage of locslization OF
the different reserve boards.
II have used the opportunity to pre-
sent our section, with its wonderful re-
sources and Its marvellous progress, TO
those who are now engaged in studying
the different portions of our country,
and ! have found that II was necessary
for me to arouse their imaginations TO
make them comprehend how we are
growing and what We are capable of
doing.
II have the utmost confidence in the
future OF our section. We have greater
natural advantages than any other sec
tion of the Union. and this means of
the world.
While we invite the good men OF the
balance of our country to come and
settle among us, II necessary our own
people have the enterprise and force
to build this section"

leader OF Atlanta, who was here last
week.
IF you have noticed" said Mr..
Orr, "at every hearing the commit
tee has held so far, Atlanta's right
to one of the regional banks has been
conceded in the most impartial way
by gentlemen appearing in behalf OF
other cities.
Logically, you see, the mind re-
verts to Atlanta, and however a bust
ness man may be impelled to favor
his own community, he includes At
lanta And this, bear in mind, comes
before the claims of Atlanta have
been formally presented. 1t is based
entirely upon common knowledge as
to the financial, commercial and in
dustrisl leadership of Atlanta in the
important Southeast"
Amendment Favors Atlanta.
One especially interesting fact in
connection with the claims of Atlanta
which the correspondent of the
Hearst newspapers learned was that
the amendment to the Financial bill
providing for a maximum of twelve
regional banks was inserted In the
Senate in order to provide for recog
milton of that section of the South
of which Atlanta is the center When
the bill was taken up for considera-
ton by the Senate Democratic eau
Gus. 1t provided for but four regional
banks. Senator Hoke Smith. OF
Georgia, at once voiced protest.
The point is right here: Logically
enough, II but four regional banks
are provided for, New York, Chicago
Boston or St. Louis, and San Fran
cisco will be the cities selected That
will leave the city OF Atlanta en-
tirely out of consideration. and the
great section of the nation which it
, represents"
Senators Join Protest.
He served notice he would not vote
for any measure which did not con-
tain provision which would give At
lanta consideration. Senators Lee, oil

Officials Give Assurance
Atlanta Will Win.

perS throughout the country.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1870 well
founded are Atlanta's demands for
one of the regional banks to be estab-
lshed under the new currency act
that the Georgia city should be named
in preference to other Southern
claimants.
Such is the assurance given TO the
representative of the Hearst news
papers by officials closely in touch
with the Federal Bank ReorganiZa-
tion Committee.
congressman and men OF affairs in
the South are enthusiastic that the
appeal OF the joint committee of the
Atlanta Clearing House and Cham
Der of Commerce to Mr. Hearst to
give publicity to the claims of Allan
ia is already bearing fruit in the wide
campaign made by the Hearst news
