WILL NOT MODIFY
BANK STATEMENTS
Financiers Acquiesce in Con-
troIIer Williams Order
for Daily Report.

Three bankers of Baltimore and two
Washington financiers comprised the
representation this morning at the con-
ference called by the Baltimore Clear
ing House Association of eastern. mid
die west and southern bankers to de-
wise arguments to persuade the con-
troller of the currency to modify the
requirements for a daily bank state
ment during the present month of June.
These five bankers. after discussion OF
the matter with the controller of the
currency, John Shelton Williams. sub
mitted to his opinion. and accepted the
situation. There will be no change in
the character of Information eNacted
in the daily statement required.
The objection raised to the require
ment was that it entailed extraordinary
labor that might be avoided. if the
same purposes could be served by sim
piified methods. The controller of the
currency set forth that information de-
sired for the federal reserve board and
the regional banks could be obtained in
no simplified way. The bankers were
advised that their methods of what
were the objects of the requirement
did not include all it's purposes.
