MEYER URGES
UNIFIED U. S.
BANK SYSTEM
Elimination of State Char
tiers to Restore Business
Confidence Proposed.
OPPOSES BONUS BILL
Proper Expansion of Credit
Going On Now, Asserts
Federal Reserve Head.

By Lnjfcd Press
WASHINGTON, April 28.-Need
Of a unified banking system was
urged by Governor Eugene Meyer
of the federal reserve board, when
he appeared today by the house
ways and means committee in OPP
position to the $4,000 100000 soldier
bonus bill.
Meyer was questioned by commit
tee regarding methods of bringing
about business confidence.
Meyer said he would have all
banks Of the country under a uni
fed system, eliminating state
charters.
Before the committee Wednesday
Meyer staunchly opposed the new
currency plan of the bonus bill as
inimical to the return OF national
confidence.
Have you considered going to
the various states to try to secure
legislation to safeguard the rights
Of depositors?" asked Representa-
tive John w. Mccormick Dem,
Mass) today.
1T is impossible to do that"
Meyer answered, remember there
are forty eight states"
Proper Credit Expansion Now
The bankers have not been very
interested in the unified system,
Meyer said.
More than 30 per cent of the
business of the country is done
through checks, asserted Meyer.
This widespread use of checks was
considered by Meyer as the one real
argument for a unified banking
system.
do you think the country could
stand reasonable and proper ex-
pansion of currency at this time?"
asked Mccormack.
There is proper expansion of
credit going on at this time" re-
piled Meyer
Meyer said he hoped it was a
fact" that in the last few months
there has been a loosening up of
credit.
Mccormack asked if the reserve
board had any knowledge as to "the
imposition of political conditions" in
connection with requested bank
loans by cities.
World Gold Supply Bigger
All I know is what I have seen
in the papers" Meyer replied.
Mccormack questioning along
this line was cut short when Acting
Chairman Henry t. Rainey replied
that they we're not pertaining to
the subject at hand-the bonus bill.
Meyer said he believed artificial"
currency expansion would result in
driving gold out of the country"
He believed that the reserve sys-
tenn has in its power any necessary
and controlled expansion.
Meyer, questioned by Representa-
tive Clement c. Dickinson Dem,
MOI, said an increase in gold has
occurred throughout the world and
that $20,000,000 worth has come out
of India in the last six months.
I'VE have the largest gold supply
in proportion to the volume of bust
ness in the history of modern
times he added.

up to all the expectations which
grew when it was announced that
Clarence Darrow had come out of

The elderly Chicago attorney, a
lifetime of court success behind him,
called upon all his ebbing strength
to present a case for the defense
