group in a separate session voted for

The. McFadden bill provides that
national banks shall have" a similar
privilege in those States where State
laws permit branch banking, re-
stricted, however. in that national

The number of these branches would

L. S. Prosperity Cited.
America is in a state of great
prosperity" Oscar Wells Of Birming-
ham, Ala, president of the associa-
ton, told the convention yesterday.
The industrial output of the Nation,
he said. 'is exceeding the estimates
of the trade enthusiasts and our rec
ord for efficiency is beyond dreams of
an expert"
Meeting in their first general ses-
sion. the bankers chose Houston, Tex,
for the 1927 convention.
While Mr.. Wells address was re-
plete with examples of the prosperous
condition of the country, he sounded
note of caution.
Although fundamental conditions
are encouraging and prospects may
we'll be considered fair, bankers know
that sooner or later the growth of
expansion will receive a halt" he
said. 1T has been so in the past and
often enough to convince us that it
will be so again. When the test
comes much will depend upon the
soundness Of the credit structure"
Conservation of Capital.
World prosperity will help this
country, Mr.. Wells said, launching
into a discussion of the economic
situation of the world. He urged the
bankers not to waste capital. Point
ing out that prudent flnanciers are
convinced that the United States
would do we'll to avoid the absorption
of additional amounts of gold during
the next few years, the president said
bank credit has been abundant for a
long period and in the nature of
things it cannot healthfully continue
to expand as it has done in the past
two years"
The responsibilities of the bankers
of the Nation have increased mani
fold, Mr.. Wells said, adding that
bankers now, more than ever before.
have need of the combined strength
of our individual and collective
efforts
This is not meant to contain any
expression of doubt, but to emphasize
the need of our continued cooperation
As essential to the part we may take
in the future development of the Ma
tion," he added.
