Co,nntroller Williams Attack

Every now and then the Comptroller
of the Currency takes it upon himself
to chide New York banks FOR charging
what, in his opinion, are unwarranted
rates Of interest. In his latest attack
Mr. Williams processes to see no legit-
innate business reasons for high rates
in view Of the great resources of the
banks and an unused lending power of
$3.50, 900 000l" The Comptroler's re-
marks regarding excessive and burden
some rates Of interest running up to
TO- II and ID per cent are understood to
refer TO loans to customers and not to
call money rates. Bankers here say
that there may have been some in
stances where some small institutions
have charged excessive rates to Gus
toners, but that the rank and file Of
borrowers at the large banks know
they have been treated fairly. Stress
was laid on the point that the recent
deficit in the Clearing House reserve
shows what happens if money rates
here are lowered to level inconsist
ent with what they are in the interior.
Because rates were slightly easier a
few weeks ago made early withdrawals
of their Eastern balances, which mate
rally cut into local reserves. Bankers
say that in order to keep control OF a
reasonable supply Of money here rates
must be made attractive enough to pre-
vent Withdrawals by interior banks.
