When national banks chartered by the government disappoint and de- prive toll of it's just reward, and stim mulate resentment, we have pre- pared and fertiliZed the soil for fearful crop of disaster. We cannot persuade ourselves or make others believe that it is right or safe for banks to charge 100 per cent. a year while the producing people about them are kept poor. I know of such banks. I do not intend to stand for them if I can help it. The coun- try will not stand for them.'
 Mr. Williams said he invited Senate investigation of his actions or the conduct of his office.
 Protection Against Rapacity.
 A ajority of the national banks ''are now conducting their business on a high and honorable plan and are charging fair and reasonable rates on loans," MT. Williams said He predicted that a well-th ought out, carefully constructed, conservative system of rural credits for the de- velopments of agriculture would come presently and said that in the meantime he expected to do all pos sible to protect borrowers of all grades against rapacity. He asked the cooperation of all banks further to improve conditions.
 The figures he quoted, MT. Williams said, were taken from the reports of national banks, mot pawn brokers or recognized money sharks"
 Rates Are Disreputable.
 These banks know" he said, land I know, that such rates are disre- putable and without excuse, what ever the security for the loans may be. The bank that lends at such rates is destroying it's constituency and is at the same times committing slow but sure suicide. Some reports from the south and west, the north west and the southwest, especially in the wheat and cotton sections of the southwest, are blood-curling. They are like stories from darkest Russia, of the expressions inflicted upon the peasantry. The reports received at the comptroller's office show indis- putably that in some states and sec-

 woman 2,4OO Per Cent.

Frankfort, Ky, Oct. 6.-John Skel- ton Williams, Comptroller of the Currency, defended today before the Kentucky Bankers association his efforts to force national banks to re- duce their interest charges to bor- rowers during the days of stress in the financial and business world which followed the outbreak of the European war.
 Of the 7,615 national banks in the country, MT. Williams declared, H. O20 have sent in detailed reports showing that they have received an average of ten per cent. or more on loans. He cited, without giving names instances in which the rate ran up to forty, sixty, one thousand per cent. In one case-that of a woman who borrowed $350 for six days--he said the bank charged one dollar, or 2,400 per cent.
 These banks said MT. Williams. "are authorized by the government To an extent at least, they have be- hind them the sanction, the pres tige and the protection of the great American nation-and lending S3.50 for six days to a washerwoman or a laborer's or a farmers wife, at B. 400 per cent.
