much as the savings banks do not transact a general commercial busi- ness, they can derive no benefit from actual membership. If their assets can be made liquid they will be free from fear of run, and in disturbing periods would not have to depend on depositary banks or rely upon the ex- tension of the time of payment af- forded by notices of withdrawal.
 Tt 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-

SOMETHING DOING EVERY MINUTE

constitutionally of the portion of the federal reserve act in which the grant ing 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 judg ment of your committee that the fed eral officials have not as yet gone far enough in this regard 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 we'll as in the regulations of the board, ought to be made, before the trust companies should consider entering the federal reserve system"
 Do Away With Advance Notice. Means whereby the savings banks of the country might do away with the provision that calls for advance 1 notice before depositor withdraws his money, were advocated in an ad- 1 dress by George E. Edwards, a New York savings banks president, before l the Savings Bank section of the Am erican Bankers association convention here today.
 The solution of the problem, he contended, was in allowing savings banks to invest in more liquid securi- ties. Panics, he continued, were not ! developed from the fear of depositors 1 that they would not ultimately get their money from the banks but from the fear that they would not be able , to get the money just when they want ed it.
 Not only in fairness to depOsitors,
 but as a matter of policy, would it not | be far wiser to invest a portion of our 1 funds in shor time loans, of the char
 octer generally referred to as liquid, and in time of emergency depend upon | such loans rather than upon the re-
 quired notices of withdrawal.
 Tho entrance of the federal reserve banks into our financial system did away with one unfortunate necessity the clearing house certificate. That other unfortunate necessity-notice of withdrawal from the depositors- should have passed away by virtue of 1 the same measure.
 Points Recommended. 1 ''As an aid in arriving at a plan it ! seems essential:
 1 First: That the federal reserve , banks should be given power to ac- ! cept the collateral of savings banks for currency. This may be done : through member banks authorized to act as intermediates.
 Second: That state laws should be enacted permitting investment by sav- ings banks in certain securities accept able to the federal reserve board.
 ''That savings banks would derive no benefits from direct m membership in the federal reserve system is clear. The federal. reserve'l law was designed with a commercial object, and inas-

AMERICAN BANKERS DISCUSS FINANCE
Reserve Act for Trust Companies - Withdrawal Without Notice

Seattle Wash, Sept. 1.-The execu- tive committee of the Trust company section of the American Bankers as- sociation in it's report presented at today's session of the convention urged "extreme conservatism'' on the part of trust companies in the exten- view that the federal reserve act must undergo a number of changes before trust companies should consider en- tering the federal reserve system.
 The comittee, of which Uzal H. 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 ac- tual monetary disturbances had un- doubtedly been avoided largely be- cause 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 plen- tiful during the entire year, with the result that profits to the banks had been correspondingly low. Dull bus Iness conditions particularly meant heavy deposit lines for the trust com panies, and that in turn, necessitated the careful consideration as to how to profitab1y employ funds on hand.
