Attitude of U. S. Reserve to Rep

special pispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 18.-It is possible
that a clearer attitude by the American
Government toward official participa-
ton in the workings of the proposed
Bank of International Settlements may
come out of the interviews which the
American members of the Paris debt
conference are to have this week with
President Hoover.
Both owen D. Young and j. P. Nor
gan feel strongly that the new bank
will be one of the best results of the
debt conference. In the only interview
which Mr. Morgan has so far given con-
corning the debt settlement he referred
exclusively to the value of the bank as
a factor in world peace.
Several months ago Deputy Gov. Bur-
CESS of the New York Federal Reserve
Bank went to Paris and assisted in
drawing up the terms for the new in
ternational bank. Later the State De-
partment made a statement to the eff
feet that it would not look favorably on
the appointment to the governing body
OF this bank of any member of the Fed
eral Reserve system.
This was done in order to remove
any possibility of criticism from those
who still believe that the United States
should have no official connection with
European debt matters, in spite of the
fact that the Paris settlement could
only have been concluded under Amer
lean direction.
Inasmuch as there must be a very
close working arrangement between
the Bank for International Settlements,
as we'll as the Bank of England. the
Bank of France, the Bank of Germany,
the Bank of Belgium, the Bank of
Italy and also the government banks
of the small debtor nations, it is
equally necessary that the Federal Re-
serve banks should be on parity with
the others in matters of policy involv-
ing payments which will ultimately
come in large part to the United States.
These facts are likely to be empha-
sized by Mr.. Young and Mr.. Morgan
when they talk over the next step in
the organization of the new bank from
the standpoint of the American identity
with it.

BANKERS ADVISED
TO SHAPE POLICIES
D. C. Attorney Urges Finan-

Special Dispatch to The star.
TORONTO, Canada, June 1S.-Bank-
ers we're urged to take far more active
and practical interest in governmental
affairs by Attorney Nathan B. Will
liams of Washington, D. c., in an adj
dress before the New York State Bank
ers' Association here today. Discussing
Business Relations With Government"
Mr. Williams said, in part:
II would direct your attention to the
wise words of a Chinese philosopher
who wrote about $500 years ago, ana
who pointed out that when the people
are subjected to overmuch government
the land is thrown into confusion and
from his store of wisdom said, Govern
a great nation as you would cook a
small fish-don't overdo it
Law Observance Commission.
1.-THE press has presently been much
filled with the alarm which the Presl-
dent of the United States has felt called
upon to express with respect to our wen
known capacity for ignoring or breaking
laws. A commission on law observance
and enforcement has been constituted
composed of able and sincere men. They
may or they may not come to the con-
clusion that laws to be respected must
be respectable and that prominent
item contributing to the attitude OF our
people is in the enormous output OF laws
contributed by our Congress OF 53l
members, our State Legislatures, COM
posed of more than 1000 members, ana
by our 10000 incorporated towns ana
cities and 5000 counties all more or less
actively engaged in operating our law
plant, the dust from which at times al
most suffocates the citizen.
Now, bankers have generally &C
cepted the principle of Government
regulating your affairs to a rather lnti-
mate degree. We have bank exam
liners, State and Federal; corporation
commissions, Federal Reserve boards
and divers and sundry places where the
business of bankers comes into contact
with the agencies of Government.
II point out to you that 1t might DE
highly desirable to turn this scheme OF
things about at least partially and that
YOU should take a hand in developing,
correcting and regulating Government.
Advisory Councils.
"a practicable means to accomplish
this result is to be found in the de-
velopment of advisory councils, where
representatives of group organizations
such as yours and in cooperation with
similar organizations, establish and
staff organizations which study the
operations of the Government, whether
state, national, city or county, and
which by constant contact with the
problems met and constant and con-
tinuous study of the ends and aims to
be accomplished may profoundly in
fiuence the course and development of
Government and hold its expenses and
activities in line with our purses and
confined to such activities as are de-
sired by discriminating citizenship"
