TAILURE of congress at the re-
* cent session to pass the McFad-
Il den-repper bill revising the ma
tlonal banking act seriously
teopardizes the future of the national
banking system, according to Repre-
sentative McFadden (Rep., Pa.), chair
man of the house committee on bank
ing and currency.
The bill, which is designed to re-
move some of the handlcaps which
place national banks at n disadvantage
with state banks and trust companies,
was approved by the house and senate
committees on banking and currency
and was scheduled for passage in both
houses but unexpected opposition
caused the leaders to sidetrack 1t.
Although congress is likely to pass
the bill next winter, the banking situa-
ton. according to Mr.. McFadden, will
be more difficult to deal with then
than now. Many leading national
banks, 1t Is declared, have contem-
plated Withdrawing from the system
unless the pending bill becomes law at
an early date.
The bill is supported by Controller
Henry M. Dawes and the federal re-
serve board and has the Endorsement
of the American Bankers association.
"The competition of state banks and
trust companies has grown up recent
Iy," said Representative McFadden.

the projects will be treated sympa-
thetlcally.
President Coolidge transmitted the
report of the fact-hndlng commission
to congress April 81. saying among
other things:
"The facts developed by the special
advisory committee show that of the
governments total investment $1S,-
S61, ,146 will never be recovered. There
will be probable loss of an additional
SS, $4,000. These sums represent ex-
penditures in the construction of reser-
voirs, canals, and other works for the
irrigation Of lands that have proven
unproductlve. l recommend that con-
gress authorize the charging off of such
sums shown to be impossible of collec-
tion. Because of high rates of inter
est and other agricultural difficulties
existing farmers are often unable to
borrow money for temporary RELIEF.

the government from which farmers
on projects may secure capital to make

T-HB opening of the Congression-
al Country club at Washington
inaugurates new era in coun-
try club history. Aside from the
fact that the clubhouse, architectural
ly, is the finest of the kind in the
world-equipped with the latest facill-
ties for every form of recreation from
bowling to fox hunting; aside from
the fact that its membership includes
the President of the United States,
cabinet officers. members of congress,
diplomats, ranking officers of every
branch of the service, and financial
kings, the club enjoys the distinction
of being the first country club for the
country at large in America. Instead
of being plutocratic, as its impressive
roster would imply. on the contrary,
1t is extremely democratic.
While belonging to the national
capital, the Congressional Country
club is national in scope of interest
and of membership. Business and pro
fessional men and women resident in
all parts of the United States, as well
as In Porto Rico and the Philippines,
helped build it, and belong to it.
