Tells Banking Institute
OF Economic Advantage.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Ultimate
participation in the Genoa economic
conference by the United States
was intimated by d. r. Crissinger,
Comptroller of Currency. He spoke
before the New York chapter of
the American Institute of Banking.
Stating that the financial COM
munity must consolidate the good
beginning" of the Washington arms
conference. Crissinger said:
Already we are looking forward
to the conference at Genoa in the
hope that it will make as good a
start on the economic and fiscal
side as Washington made on the
political.
Great Forces mt Work.
These are times in which 1t is
dangerous to be contending with
the narrow and provincial side.
Great forces are at work in the
world which, no matter how in
sistently we may wish to take the
narrower view, absolutely prohibit
us from doing so. We are COM
pelled to regard banking in the
light of it's world wide concerns
we recognize that is Inevitably in
terrelated with the fiscal and A.
nancial concerns everywhere: to
understand that we can not block
ourselves off from intimate associa-
tions and relationship with the
leaders of business. Of government
of financial operation. everywhere" /"
Must Fight Bolsheyism.
The financial world also must
confront the task of beating off
the onslaughts of Bolshevism on
Western civilization, crissinger. de-
clared.t Bolshevism, having failed
in its attacks on Western Europe
and .Amerca, has turned its ener-
gies toward the East, seeking to
arouse antagonism and hatred for
the West, he declared The most
effective counter-measures, he said,
are international trade and better
social relations. j.
Establishment of the gold mon
etary standard as q universal. sys-
tenn was urged by Crissinger as a
means of re-establishing and put
ting world trade on solid footing.

TREATIES TO STAND
{ OR FALL TOGETHER

The seven treaties negotiated by
the armament conference must all
stand or fall together, the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee has
decided.
Although six of the treaties have
the informal approval of a ma
jority of the committee, they will
not be reported to the Senate until
an agreement Is reached regarding
the four-power pact. All seven
treaties then will be laid before the
Senate at the same time, and the
four-power pact probably will be
taken up first.
