Why Banks Dodge Reserve.
In a summing up of his remarks
before the special commission COM
posed of members of the Senate and
House committees on banking and
currency, d. r. Crissinger, governor
of the federal reserve system. said
there were many reasons why state
banks did not become members of the
system. the principal of these being
their reserves with the federal re-
serve banks without interest. Also.
they did not want TO endure the over
head costs of the system. and Il
third reason they did not want to be
haraSsed by the constant scrutiny of
examiners.
The system was further handi-
capped by practice of some big banks
in sending out agents to persuade
smaller banks not to become members
ground haT col III
render such banks better service.
Not all Of the banks, he said, did
this, but II was the practice of some
who wanted to build up big deposits
Ihe result was that they were de-
feating the real purpose of the sys-
tenn In its efforts to mobilize reserves
1T was the opinion of some of the
state banks that various state laws
gave them privileges which they
could not obtain as members Of the
system. The result of the failure
or all banks to secure membership
was to cause additional expenses to
the man who had to borrow money.
constant effort was being made by
representatives of the federal reserve
system to induce these banks to oh
tain membership by showing it's i'm
portance to them. but these efforts
mad met with very little success,
was too much red tape about the
system. All of these were excuses
ana not reason for their failure to
become members. No application Of
membership of an eligible bank had
been refused. it was said.
locally, there is one trust COMPANY
