the same measure
"As an aid in arriving at plan it
seems essential:
First That the federal reserve
banks should be given power to ac-
eept the collateral of savings banks
Tor currency. This may be done
through member banks authorized to
act as Intermediates.
Second That state laws should
be enacted permitting investment by
savings banks in certain securities ac-
eeptable to the federal reserve board.
"That savings banks would derive
no benefits from direct membership
IN the federal reserve system is clear
The federal reserve law was designed
with commercial object, and mas
much as the savings banks do not
ness, they can derive no benefit from
actual membership If their assets
can be made liquid they will be free
from fear of a run, and in disturbing
periods would not have to depend on
depositary banks or rely upon the ex-
tension of the time of payment afford
ed by notices of withdrawal.
at is to be hoped that congress,
which expects, through the instru-
mentality of the federal reserve sys-
tenn, to make the country panic proof,
and the several states will pass laws
whereby the demands of millions of
savings bank depositors will be pro
vided for. Such laws will make for
better banking and that unfortunate
notice of withdrawal
like the clearing house certificates,
will be a thing of the past"

BANKERS OF u. $. URGE EN-
IRENE CONSERVATISM
AT THIS TIME
tBy Associated Press.l

! Seattle, Wash, Sept THE execu
tive committee of the Trust company
section of the American Bankers as
sociation in its report presented at
today's session of the convention
urged extreme conservatism" on the
part of trust companies in the exten-
sion of business. 1t also held the
view that the federal reserve act must
undergo a number of changes before
trust companies should consider en-
tering the federal reserve system.
The committee, of which Uzal II.
McCarter of Newark, N. j., is chair
man, pointed out that the year had
been full OF anxiety for the banker,
owing to the European war, and actual
monetary disturbances had undoubt-
edly been avoided largely because of
the confidence felt by the public in
the inherent strength of the financial
institutions and their ability, in an
emergency, to avail themselves of the
provision of the federal reserve act
for rediscounts and the obtaining of
such additional currency as might be
necessary. Money had been plentiful
during the entire year, with the re
suit that profits to the banks had
been correspondingly low. Dull busi-
ness conditions particularly meant
heavy deposit lines for the trust com
panies, and that in turn, necessitated
the careful consideration as to how to
profitably employ funds on hand.
The action which the trust com
panies have taken jointly to test the
constitutionality of the portion of the
federal reserve act in which the
granting of trust powers is given to
national banks, was referred to in the
report. Pending the outcome of this
suit, the committee had also taken up
with the federal reserve board the
question of certain regulations in re-
latlon TO trust companies. Inc report
had this to say
while the reserve board has met
your committees suggestion in some
particulars, nevertheless it is the
Judgment Of your committee that the /
federal officials have not as yet gone
far enough in this repard to permit it
to advise the trust companies OF the
country to join the system. On the
contrary, it is the judgment of your
committee that certain necessary
changes in the act itself, as well as
n the regulations of the board, ought
o be made, before the trust companies
ihould consider entering the federal
,eserve system"
