PHILADELPHIA August 5.-The
country is getting too many banks.
controller of Currency Crissinger
declared today in an address before
the National Association of Super
visors of banks in convention here.
There seems to be a mania for
starting banks" Mr.. Crissinger said
There must be strong feeling that
the banker occupies a position of
vantage. the easy life. the road to
riches. 1t Is unaccountable that in
this time of great stress and finan-
cial upheaval there should be so
many applications for banks and so
many for under $4,000. am con-
Vinced that many applications are
made with the intent and purpose of
creating a place where promoters can
find easy access to credit. Appli-
cations that have this appearance
1 reject.
Urges Value Of Co-operation.
Mr.. crissinger urged upon the
supervisors the value of cooperation
between the state and federal bank
ing authorities.
There never was a time when per-
feet understanding and sincere CO.
operation between those banks which
are under state supervision and
those which are under federal was
so necessary or SO important as is
is today" he said.
1.-The banking fabric of the country
is absolutely sound and secure; it Is
only necessary that all the elements
and factors in it shall stand firmly
together, shall adhere to the one gen.
eral policy of public service in q time
when it is SO very important, in or
der to insure their utmost usefulness
to the country.
II think nearly everybody recog-
nizes today that the conditions which
are delaying the return to industrial
activity and commercial prosperity
throughout the world are, to a consid-

erable extent, artificial in their ma
ture. Whatever else may be wrong,
the world Is not suffering from over
production. 1t Is suffering from over
consumption for a long period OF
years, which has left it urgently in
need of a resumption Of production in
almost every line and every country. :.
'The people are not only ready. but
anxious to produce. Everywhere they
are reported out of employment In
vast numbers.
Needs OF the Hour.
Those who are not working need to
work: industries which are idle need
to be put into operation: railroads.
which all over the wSrid Gre in ns,ors
desperately need to have many bill
lions spent in their rehabilitation.
Thus there is need for employ
ment of the unemployed, and for re-
sumption of operations by idle estab-
lishments.
Somewhere between the would be
employer and the unemployed worker
seeking work, there has been col
lapse of the instrumentalities of cred
1t, finance and confidence. which is
making 1t difficult to resume normal
operations.
"The world has gone through so
many periods of the same sort that 1t
is hardly necessary to explain. The
present depression Is sure in due time
to be succeeded by an epoch of great
activity and abounding prosperity.
Our problem is to hasten the return
to normal conditions, and to that end
no element in the community can con-
tribute more than the bankers.
"There is no disposition to invite
conflict. as to authority or jurisdic-
ton. between the banking establish
ment which is under federal control
and those various classihcations OF
banks which are under state control.
II realize at times there has been
some disposition to misunderstanding
and friction, but in a time like the
present that must be put resolutely
aside"
