CONSIDERATION IS
DUE NATIONAL BANKS
WORD COMPTROLLER

Washington, Dec. 14-Henry NJ.
Dawes. comptroller Of the currency.
made an open appeal to the country
in his annual report today for the
preservation and protection of the
national banks.
The national banking system, he
said, deserves more consideration
than it recently kas received. He in
sisted that it is now a question for
Congress to decide whether the sew
eral unfavorable factors bearing on
the system shall continue or whether
we shall sit idly by and apathetic-
ally watch it's refrigeration"
One of the principal influences cit
ed byeMr. Dawes was the persistent
suggestion" that the office of comp
troller of the currency he abolished.
Another factor characterized as
equally important is the agitation
over branch banking.
The comptroller, .1r. Dawes assert
ed possesses many powers suscept-
ible of arbitrary and rigid enforce
ment. but he declared it is not now
the policy and never has been to en-
ploy them in any way that would not
further the banking interests of the
country. He declared the comptr6ll-
or always should act as a coordinator
and use his broad powers only for the
