BANK AGENCY IN
HAVANA, CUBA,
OPPOSED
New York and Atlanta Fight
Plan Advanced by Boston
Federal Reserve.

New York bankers yesterday joined
with Atlanta bankers, at a hearing
before the Federal Reserve Board,
in opposition to the plan of tine
Boston Federal Reserve Bank to es-
tablish an agency at Havana, Cuba.
Charles f.. Mitchell, president of
the National City Bank, of New
York, which maintains a branch at
Havana, asserted that the Boston
banks proposal, If authorized by
the Federal Reserve Board, would
result in unfair competition with
member banks of the Federal Re-
serve system dealing in Cuban ex-
change. Mitchell said the Boston
reserve bank aims chiefly to go
into Cuba for the profit that may
be realized rather than for bene-
fits that might be made available
to all members of, the Federal Re-
serve system. The National City
Bank, Mitchell said. is now work
ing effectively in its Cuban ex-
change business through the At
lanta reserve bank.
Gov. w. p. G. Harding of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston,
denied Mitchell's contention, declar-
ing that an agency of the Boston
reserve bank at Havana would
broaden the facilities Of American
banks generally for handling Cuban
business He informed the board
that if the Havana agency should
not be found profitable the Boston
bank would ask the Federal Re
serve Board to allow it to with
draw This brought from Mitchell.
in a warm colloquy, the assertion
that this Government should not
permit reserve agency to go into
Havana unless it is the definite
purpose to make it a permanent
institution, with its reserve facili-
ties available to all member banks
of the reserve system.
