Statements attributed to President
Wilson yesterday. in which he was
quoted as having expressed the lay
opinion that the powers of the con-
troller of the currency are very broad
and that If they are too broad 1t is
the duty of Congress to deal with the
subject, today aroused considerable at
tention at the hands of the Riggs Ma

charge with trying to persecute and
wreck the bank.
A statement was issued by the bank
through its counsel. which was as fol-
lows:
Banks Position.
When the attention of one of the
officials of the Riggs National Bank
was called to the statement made by
the President yesterday to the effect
that if the power conferred on the con-
troller of the currency is too great the
remedy lies with Congress. this official
replied that evidently the President
misapprehended the banks contention.
This contention is that the controller
is attempting to exercise powers not
conferred on him by law. and the bank
is merely asking the court to keep the
controller within the statute. OF
course. we do not overlook the fact
that the President can protect not only
the Riggs National Bank, but all other

and oppressive conduct"
