rectors for losses sustained by bank
through violation of the bank act.
The report renews the Comptro1-
1er's recommendations of last year for
other legislation, including the giving
of authority to the Comptroller to re-
move directors guilty of persistent
violations of the bank act.
Banks says Mr.. williams, t'nearIy
always are broken not by bank rob-
bers, who have come from the out
side, not by failure Of customers to
whom they have lent money, but by
the tying up or dissipation of the
banks funds through loans to their
own officers and directors, or else by
direct defa1cations< and e1nb 1ements
by trusted officers. If these evils are
remedied-and they can be -remedfed
if certain simple and much needed
amendments can be secured to the ma
tiona1 bank act--fai1ures among ma
tiona1 banks can be reduced to a neg
Ifgfble number, or be absolutely elm
mated"
Mr.. williams shows there were IA
failures during the IL months ended
Oct. 81. In the last so years, he says,
there were EOS failures attributable
to criminal acts while inJudicious or
careless banking was responsible for
1876 others.
The Comptroller devotes much
space to presenting his side of his
fight with national banks to prevent
the charging of psurious interest
rates. He gives tables of loans by
banks in different sections to hack up
his charge and says that complaints
have come OF this practice particu-
larfly directed against small banks in
the South and Southwest, West and
Northwest.
"It is time says the report, FOR
all banks of this country to realize
that the Federal Reserve act was
framed to benefit not only the banks,
but also the customers of the banks;
that one of the great objects OF the
law was to- decentrahze the money OF
the country; to effect more equita-
BILE distribution of capital and do
away with the old system by which
the resources of our banks have been
so greatly concentrated in a few cities
or sections, there to be loaned out
largely on speculative ventures, Whl1e
in other regions money needed so ur-
gently for the legitimate purposes of
industry and of development has been
scarce and oftentines obtainab1e only
if at all. at rates injurious if not pro-
hibitory.
Mr. williams says that usury Tin
checked means "depopulation, hope
lessness, thriftlessness and resulting
loss of producing capacity" He closes
with the statement that intimate con-
nection with the affairs OF his office
has shown that the large majority of
American bankers are honest and
anxious to obey the laws, patriotic
and intent on building up their COM
rnunities and the country.
Speaking of the Federal Reserve
system Mr.. Williams says the with
drawaI of reserve funds from banks
in the large cities and their transfer
to Reserve banks has not caused the
predicted 'convulsfon from which the
whole country would suffer-" 1.-THE

GERMANY IS REJOICING
AT NEWS OF FAILURE
OF STRAITS CAMPAIGN

Berlin. Jan. 10-'The news of the
definite failure of the DardaneI1es ex-
petition aroused enormous joy and
satisfaction in Constantinop1e,"' says
the Overseas News Agency in a mess
age distributed today. Bunting was
displayed and the schools were clos
ed
"The Berlin newspapers" con-
tinues the news agency message,
"point out that the loss of prestige
which this means for the British be-
sides the enormous losses of men,
ships and money. Yhey recall the
proud words OF Mr.. Asquith in par
lament November 9, 1914, that the
Turkish empire had committed sui
eide and had dug its own grave, and
those of Mr.. Churchill at a later date,
that through. the Dardanel1es lay the
shortest road to triumphant peace.
The newspaper further calls attention
to the fact that important Turkish
contingents are now free for action in
other fields
