 tensive branch banking be permitted l in tho federal reserve system,' MT l Dawes added. "or statewide branch
 banking should not be permitted in : the reserve system. There is no mid ! dlc ground. It is question of either 1 ombarking upon a career of branch banking or, for all practical purposes. i curbing it.
 "The comptroller of the currency suggests that a fair and reasonable solution of the question of branch banking in the United States can be made by congress through the enact
 nent into law of the substance of the resolutions recently adopted by the federal reserve boa~, at the same time granting to national banks the power with the approval and under the general supervision of the comp troller. to establish and operate branch banks or branch offices under similar territorial restrictions. but definitely forbidding the establishment of such facilities by national banks in those localities where such privi- leges are forbidden to state banks and trust companies
 Turning to bank operations. the comptroller reported that dividends aggregating s179.000,000 were paid by the national banks in the year ending November 1, the greatest issue ever made by the national banks of the country. He reported also that s203,- 5o0,00 had been added to the com bined profits account of the national banks In the same period. This rep resents an increase of more than se0,- 000.000 over the preceding year in the earnings of the national institutions.

 he said. "it is that the principle of centralization, when once inaugurated. will proceed, unless interferred with by governmental action, to a point Of complete concentration in an indiNid ual or group dominated by an in- dividual or group dominated by an individual. should a situation of this
 kind develop in any federal reserve district the federal reserve bank there either would be eliminated as a factor in the financial community or would be virtually under the control Of such a group"
 The constructive course, the report declared. lies in relief for the national banks. Such a program, Mir Dawes said should permit continuation of state bank privileges on their present level while at the same time the oper- ations of the national institutions would be lifted up to the same plane of competition. He said that at pres ent the national banks We're handi- capped by hard and fast ohligati to the federal government which they were bound to observe.
 The comptroller declined, howcver to make recommendation to congress for national bank relief at this time. He preferred, he said, to allow con- gress to solve the branch banking problem. after which the situation will be clarified so that suggestions for improving the conditions faced by natoinal banks may be made with some hope Of beneficial results.
