UNCLE SAM Chief
BANKER OF WORLD
Financial Power S37, 529,OOO,O00
Comptroller Williams Reports

Washington, Jan. 31.-How the
United States has become the domi
nant banking power of the world is
shown In the annual report of the
comptroller Of the currency, John
SHELTON Williams presented yesterday
to congress.
Comptroller Williams estimates the
whole banking power of the nation at
$37, 529, 100000, an increase of more
than $14 900, 100000 since the begin
ming of President Wilson'S admins
tratlon- Taking the latest estimate Of
the banking power of the world,
placed in 1890 at Sis, 55S, 900, 900,
Americas increase is alone nearly
equal to the worlds combined banking
power II years ago, and on that basis
now two and a half times as great.
National banks of the United states,
Comptroller Williams declares, arc
stronger, safer, more observant Of
laws and more efficiently managed
than ever before. Their resources
SIS, 5 81, L 81, 000-are by more than
two billion dollars greater than ever
before and exceed by about the same
amount the combined resources of all
state banks, private banks and trust
companies. Under three years of fed
eral reserve system national bank re-
sources have increased more lldil
$4,000 100000
Comptroller Williams. however, cou-
pies his report Of this enormous
growth with a warning that duties and
responsibilities have increased no less
than the resources.
1T is of supreme Importance, he
says, that the allurements of profit
from commerce or industry in this
country or in neutral countries not
essential to our success in the war,
should not induce us to divert or dis
sipate the capital or financial re-
sources of our people"
The danger from decline of earning
capacity of public utility corporations
and consequent shrinking of values III
their securities, the comptroller warns,
is a real danger which should stimu
late the efforts Of congress and every
patriotic citizen.
First relief he things, might como
from state commissions and municipal
authorities, and he expresses the hope
that congress will directly or Indirect
ly provide for the advancing of money
| to corporations wher it is necessary
| to insure proper service to the gov
! ernment The proposal is unusual, the
| comptroller admits, but he points out
| that the times are unusual.
Government guarantee of bank de-
| posts in sums under $4,000, the comp
| troller believes would bring into use
much boarded money and he renews
| his recomm endation to congress to
| enact such a law.
A great volume of statistical infor-
nation attached to the report shows
| the increasing growth of the bank
| ing system and the reduction in fall
| ures and losses.

ton of all ships-American, allied and
notwithstanding and leaving Ameri-
can ports.
The committee was named by rep
resentatiues of the Shipping Board,
the War and Navy Departments, the
Food and Fuel Administrations, the
Director General of Railroads, the
British Government and shipowners,
who met to devise some plan for
speeding up the movement of sup
plies to Europe. 1t comprises z. A.
S. Franklin of the International Mer-
camille Marine Chairman; H. Fl. Ray
mond, head of the Clyde and Mallory
Lines, and recently made Shipping
Controller at New York, and Sir Gun
mop Guthrie, Director of British ship
ping in this country.
Mr.. Franklin, as Chairman of the
committee, will make his headluar-
ters in Washington, while Mr.. Ray
mond and Sir Cunnop Guthrie will
have their offices in New York.
The arrangem ent as explained by
Shipping Board officials, in effect Gre
ates a pool of ships moving supplies to
Europe Goods destined for overseas
will be put in available ships wheth-
err operated by the United States or by
! the Allies. With the aid Of the Rail-
road Administration the committee
will divert to Southern ports much of
| tine supplies that heretofore clogged
! the port of New York, and incoming
! vessels will be directed by wireless to
! proceed to the ports in which mater
| ials Of the most important await ship
| ment.
| 1t is estimated that the new system
! of alloca lion will increase efficiency by
| 40 to so per cent. The plan yet has
| to be approved by the British Gov
! eminent and by the other Allies but
| officials today received the assurance
| of Sir Cunnop Guthrie and Sir Richard
Crawford of the British Embassy that
| this would be forthcoming.
| Approval Of the neutrals is not nee
| essary inasmuch as neutral ships oper-
| ated by the United States and the Al
| lies are operated under charter The
| British long have urged an arrange
| ment of the kind and months ago
| sought to have the United States enter
| the irter-ailied Chartering conference
| The centralized control authorized to-
| day virtually creates such a confer
| ence on this side of the water.
