BOSTONIANS ARGUE
FOR A RESERVE BANK
McAdOO and Houston Hear New
York Sentiment Works
Against New England.
SAY THEIR TRADE NEEDS IT
Point Out Alleged Danger Of
Metropolis Controlling Too
Large u District.

BosroN, Jan. 9.-Representatives OF
financial and business interests In New
England to the number OF nearly 400 at
tended the hearing held here to-day before
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and
Secretary Of Agriculture Houston upon
the proposition Of designating New Eng
land as a separate regional reserve bank
ing district with Boston as the centre.
Those heard were practically upani-
nous In their views In favorins the proro-
sition. the only differences being upon the
question OF whether or not parts Of Con-
nectlcut should be separated from the
New England district and placed in that
of New York.
Major Henry l.. Hrginson, Col. Will
lam A. CASTOR. Gov. Walsh, Mayor Ffts-
gerald and many other business men were
heard and not one opposed the establish
ment of a regional bank here. President
Joseph II. ONeil OF the Federal Trust
Company suggested that half of New
York be included in the New Engla nd
district.
There is no sentiment against the
establishment Of one Of these banks In
Boston," said Mr.. ONeil. (which has not
been engineered In New York. Financial
circles have refused us privileges on oc-
casions and this bill should put "a stop to
things Of that sort
"What 7 believe this bill was meant TO
do was to equalize things as much as
possible. and that is what We should do.
] don't like this domination of New York
any more than you do"
col Castor presented letter to the
committee from the New Haven Clear
ing House Association asking that that
district be placed in the New York d
vision.
a steady stream OF reasons why n bank
should be given to Boston was poured into
the ears OF the two Cabinet members at
both the morning and afternoon sessions.
Prof. o. N. w. Sprague of Harvard
said that regional bank would serve
the people of New England better than n
branch Of n larger New York bank. He
asserted that the suggestion for an "enor-
mously large" bank In New York would
make for resources too small for the seven
OTHER proposed reserve banks. \ great
bank in New York would be top heavy

new law, he said.

In Europe Prof. Spravue replied that /;

ton that the regional banks will regti.

result would I've logical with a small coun-
try like Belgium, but with the United
states the situation is different. he said.
Europe could not provide us with az
big an amount as We would need and
probably would block big movement"

"The convertible feature was recognized
