successful banking experience, and
that bank examiners be selected from
those having the requisite Qualifica-
tons
A careful study and survey of state
bank supervision has been made with
the cooperation of State Bank Com
missioners and state bankers to bring
out the high lights Of successful SUI
peryision, and at the same time indi-
cate remediable weaknesses, as the
basis for formulating model code
OF law dealing with bank supervision,
and also for developing public opinion
in favor of its general adoption.
This survey shows that in forty-one
states Bank Commissioners are ap-
pointed by the governors and gener-
ally hold Office during their pleas
ure." In two states they are chosen
by popular election, in others they
are chosen by banking board, but
In only few is the advice Of organ

sippi the selection is made by CON
vention Of delegates from the state
chartered banks.
Long Terms Make 6ureaucrats
The term of Office was found to
range from two years to six The
majority of recommendations favor a
fve-year term, reasoning that long
term of life tenure tended toward
bureaucracy in Office, while short

chances of his reappointment would

1t was found that duties other than
bank supervision are frequently i'm
posed on the banking department,
ranging from insurance matters to
irrigation projects and even state
hail insurance The almost unani-

position of bank commissioner is
task of such outstanding Importance
as to demand that he devote all his

Only twenty states require actual
banking experience varying from one
to five years.
Powers of Bank Commissioners
In the majority of states. the Bank
Commissioner is given more or less
power to approve or deny applica.
tons for charters of state banks
Clearly this authority should be ex
ercised chiefly with a view to supply
ing each community with safe, ade-
quate banking facilities. Hence the
Importance of carefully weighing all
factors involved such as the character
and responsibility of the organizers
and the community's needs for bank
ing facilities In the very nature OF
things no one is so well qualified to
pass on charter questions as the Bank
Commissioner. Comments from all
states favor granting the banking de-
partment large if not absolute juris-
diction in granting bank charters.
number of states now confer
more or less complete authority on
the state banking department to act
as receiver in liquidating failed banks,
usually providing that the Bank Com
missioner must file report with the
court for approval In other states
the court names receiver and the
Bank Commissioner thereafter has no
jurisdiction or authority. The almost
unanimous opinion Of bankers and
the Bank Commissioners is that
authority should be placed in the
Banking department as it permits the
employment of experienced bank adj
ministrators in winding up the affairs
Of a bank, Is more expedient, eco
nomical and altogether more satisfac-
tory
Changes Needed
The consensus as to changes need
ed to strengthen the work of the state
banking departments is summarized
in the following recommendations:
/. Provide adequate salaries
q Give Bank Commissioners large dis
cretionary power lower in gran Tian charters
g. Remove the Office from partisan
politics by providing for election or
nomination Of the Commissioners by the
4. Provide for sufficient number Of
examiners with adequate pay. and free
their appointment from politics
8. Give the Banking Department full
authority to act as receiver in the case
Of failed banks.
g. Make Bank Commissioners terms
five years.
4 Make requirements for Bank Com
missioner eligibility not less than five
years Of successful banking experience
and well recognized executive ability.
Bank supervision, when wisely and
impartially administered, is capable
of rendering one of the highest types
Of service state can give its people.

Explaining Preaching

The object of preaching Is con-
stantly to remind mankind of what
they are constantly forgetting; not to
supply the defects of human intelli-
gence, but to fortify the fecbleness of
human resolutions; to recall mankind
from the by-path where they turn into
that broad path of salvation which al
know, but few tread. Sidney Smith

MEMBER PARLIAMENT
DENIED ENTRY TO u. S.
ADMISSION OF A COMMUNIST
INCONSISTENT WITH I'M
MIGRATION LAWS.

Secretary of State Kellogg has for
hidden the entry into the United States
of Shapurji Saklatvala, communist
member of the British parliament from
India, who was a delegate to the In
terparliamentary Union meeting which
will begin at Washington October lst,
Kellogg has instructed the London
consulate general to revoke the visa
granted Saklatvala on the ground that
his admission "is inconsistent with the
immigration laws" and quoted from
Irecent speeches the Indian communist
had made, advocating overthrow OF
existing forms of government by vlo-
lenoe.
Action Due to Complaints.
The action by the state department
followed receipts of a number of pro-
tests from various Americans and con-
servative Englishmen, who complain
ed of Saklatvala's activities. 1t came
quite unexpectedly, as it had been in
dcated by high official, who is con-
Inected with, the Interparliamentary
Union, earlier in the day and by 9th
ers that the communist member would
not be kept out of the country.
President Coolidge had discussed
the matter with Kellogg, Representa-
tive Burton, of Ohio, member of the
union, and with Senator Borah, OF
Idaho, chairman of the foreign rela-
tons committee.
"Saklatvala is understood to be a
member of the British parliamentary
delegation to the Interparliamentary
Union to be held in Washington,
Kellogg said. "He is not appointed by
the British government, nor selected
by any authority of the British gov
ernment.
No Reason for Exemption.
81 know of no reason. why he should
be considered exempt from the immi-
grafton law, any more than the hum
Iblest immigrant who holds subversive
or revolutionary views and carries on
propaganda contrary to our institu-
tions.
1T is the policy OF this government
TO exclude such persons coming to
this country. l do not believe in curb
ing free speech nor do / believe in
making this country the stamping
ground for every revolutionary agita-
tor of other countries. This is no place
for them.
Nobody, l believe, will object to
anv citizen OF the United States adj
Ivocating a change OF our form OF gov
ernment by legal and constitutional
means, but l do not believe we should
admit foreigners to this country to
preach anarchy or revolutionary
overthrow of government"
