REPORT Of BANKERS
URGES EXTREME
CONSERVATISM"
REPORT MADE AT TODAY'S SEES
SION OF THE CONVENTION
TOUCHES ON FEDERAL RE
SERVE BOARDS

SEATTLE, Wash. Sept. S.-The ex-
ecutive committee of the Trust Com
| pany section of the American Bank
ers' association in its report presented
| at today's session of the convention
urged extreme conservatism" on the
part of trust companies in the extern
sion of business. 1t also held the view
that the federal reserve act must un
dergo a number of changes before
trust companies should consider en-
tering the federal reserve system.
The committee of which Uzal Fl. Nc
Carter, of Newark, N. j., is chairman
pointed out that the year had been full!
Of anxiety for the banker, owing to
the European war, and actual none
tary disturbances had undoubtedly
been avoided largely because of the
confidence felt by the public in the
inherent strength of the financial in
situations 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 business
conditions particularly meant heavy
deposit lines for the trust companies,
and that in turn necessitated the care
full consideration as to how to probably
employ funds on hand.
The action which the trust compan.
les have taken jointly to test the con-
stitutionality of the portion of the fed
eral 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 relation to trust
companies. The report had this to-
say:
While the reserve board has met
your committees suggestion in some
particulars, nevertheless It is the
judgement of your committee that the
federal officials have not as yet gone
far enough in this regard to permit it
to advise the trust companies of the
country to join he sysem. On the con-
trary, it is the judgement of your
committee that certain necessary
changes in the act itself, as well as in
the regulation of the board, ought to
be made, before the trust companies
should consider entering the fedora!
