Eugene Lamb Richards Tells How
TO Expedite II.

DASviiiE. Ill. Oct. 4.-The need for
cooperation between governmental activ-
Ties and business interests was empha-
the annual convention Of the Illinois
Bankers Association by Eugene Lamb
Richards, Superintendent OF Banks Of
the State Of New York. who. speaking on
The Banking Millennium: How Can
We Bring II Nearer" said In part:
II believe that the present system Of
finance or banking should be developed
n improved. but not substantially
changed. But there are necessary ele-
ments in this banking millennium In
which all must do their part. The apos-
ties OF huncombe have pictured all bank
srs as selfish. greedy, n honest only by
force Of law.
And what can you bankers do You
cannot sit silent under these attacks, for
a lie uncontrad!cied and repeated often
enough Is as good as truth You must
meet these attacks both by word and by
deed by word. through frank publicity
in full and open detailed information to
your deposi,ors and to people generally
by deed. in not borrowing money from
your own banks yourselves and by keep
ing your banks clean OF slow and dan
gerous loans made either to friends OF
TO selfish interests.
Certain things. I believe. should be
put upon the statutes OF all the States
as they have In the State OF New York
Private bankers. especially those whc
take small deposits. should be under thu
same regulations. supervision and re
strIctlons as Incorporated banks. ON
GERS OF banks should not be permitted t.
loan to themselves directly or indirectly
Banks should report specifically all the.
securities In which any OF the direction
or officers are directly or indirectly In
| teres.ed.
The Limitation on the amount Of loan
TO any one man or set Of men should b
continued and increased rather than de
creased. and IN the case OF savings bank
there should be drastic prohibition
agains, any one Of the trustees being q
lowed TO pront by his position. Suc
