c. s. Hamlin, Governor of Federal
Board, Speaks In Optimistic Vein
Of Future.

New Yorl., Dec. 4.-Panic, due to
fkstrust of banks, has been relegated
to the museum of antiquities by the
new Reserve Banking System in the
opinion of C. S. Hamlin, Governor of
the Federal Reserve Board, voiced in
speech before the New York Cham
Der of Commerce.
THE Federal Reserve system will
relegate to its proper place, the
museum of antiquities, the panic gen.
Grated by distrust in our banking sys-
tenn leading to struggle of self-pres-
ervation between bank and bank, and
individual and individual, and ultimate
boarding by the people, Mr. Hamlin
asserted.
Such boarding usually follows
by the banks and does not
precede it. If boarding by banks
should cease boarding by individuals
would never occur, and both, believe,
will be relegated to obscurity under
the federal reserve system"
