 RESERVE RULING
Made Financial Organiza- tion of Country Possible,
 Declares J. K. Lynch.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 28.-The American Bankers Association, whose
 membership has during the past year reached total of 16,016 banks, open-
 ed its general convention here to-day
 with its president, James K. Lynch
 of San Francisco, delivering an ad-
 dress in which he discussed the Fede-
 ral Reserve Act and national defense.
 ''The primary purpose of a govern
 ment," he said, "iS to provide ade- Quate defense for the country govern ed. and how shamefully this purpose has been neglected under one adminis- tratfon after another is familiar tale.
 So far as the bankers are concerned, the most important subject of the day is the operation of the Federal Reserve Act, said President Lynch. Criticism of the reserve banks had come from different sources. To all these ob- jectors he pointed out that conditions for two years past have been abnor- nal and furnished no evidence of what the reserve system could do. but that much had already been accomplished. Bank acceptances for the first time have been made possible as credit in struments in connection with the i'm portant and export of merchandise, the dollar credit is making its way in South America and in the Orient. and national banks are opening bran&hes in foreign countries.
 ''The Federal Reserve Act" he said has made the financial organization of his country possible, and the prelimin- ary steps to that end have already been taken. This, to my mind, is the great reason why the bankers should work with the Act and not against it; should try to make 1t succeed instead of pointing out defects for in doing so they will have not only strengthened the banking system but will have also the nation"
 Touching on the European war, the great flotations of foreign loans here and the enormous Inflow of gold, MT. Lynch said:
 we may expect that as soon as the war is over and the normal imports of merchandise are resumed the ex- cess of gold will leave us, and this will be by no means an evil. The surplusage of gold and the loaning power set free by the Federal Reserve Act together are likely to cause a credit expansion which will need care full supervision by our bankers, to the end that the corresponding contraction does not find us unprepared. The control of both the export and the inn port of gold should be guided by the Fedora Rleserve Board, which was in tended to perform this function and which has the power necessary to, sta bilize exchange through this means"
