Many of the 1900 residents Of Cedar

room for improvement over the ex-
periences Of the past.
Political Control Unlikely.
It is complained that these laws
place the finances Of the Nation under
political control. In a broad sense
this is true, but it does not follow that
the banking system will be controlled
for partisan political purposes. The
public has most important concern
in our banking system and it is to
governmental agencies that the public
must look for representation.
My personal experience and my
reading have shown that with rare
exceptions the conduct of financial
affairs by governmental officials has
been with high degree Of integrity
and substantial ability.
OF course, the appointment as
members of the Board Of Governors
Of the Federal Reserve System of men
lacking in ability. integrity and ex-
perience would bring a financial ca
tastrophe, but believe we may con-
fidently expect the appointment on
this dominant board Of men of abil-
ity, vision and courage who will earn
estly endeavor to use the great power
vested in them for the maintenance
of sound banking system and for the
permanent welfare and benefit of this
country.
Whatever differences in theory or
apprehension for the future may exist
it must be conceded that in the place
of the conditions of March, 1888,
when panic prevailed and the. f1nan-
cial structure of American business
tottered upon a foundation under
mined by unsound business practices
and weakened by distrust and sus-
picion, there has been substituted a
system Of sound banks supported by
universal public confidence ready and
capable of financing industry and
commerce to the full measure OF a
restored prosperity.
To the banking acts Of 1893 and of
Evening star., 1935-12-17

financial institution in the land, the
Board Of Governors Of the Federal
Reserve provide none Of the funds for
its operations, but all of such funds
and securities are provided by the
several Federal Reserve Banks, which
in turn derive them from capital sub
scription and deposits of the individ-
ual banks.
Large Banks Must Join.
In addition, it should be noted that
all banks having deposits in excess Of
81 100000 must join the Federal Re-
serve system before July /, 1912, thus
bringing these banks within the close
regulation of the Federal system or
lose their Federal deposit insurance.
While the recent bank acts contain
many provisions dealing with differ
ent phases and operations of banks,
which time does not permit consider
ing now, certain fundamental purposes
underlie them all. The first and pri-
mary purpose is the protection of the
fuuds Of the depositor. The second
purpose is the accommodation and
promotion Of trade and commerce.
Efforts are made to protect both de-
positors and business from a repetition
Of the disasters of the depression by
requiring banks to desist from being
dealers in securities, by forbidding
loans to officers except in small
amounts, with the approval of the
board of directors, and by trying to
prevent the use of bank credit for
speculation.
We may differ with the methods
adopted, but not with these purposes.
The obvious result of the provisions
Of the new banking laws is to confer
upon the Federal Government not
only a large degree of control over
banks, but also over business and
commerce which depend upon backs
and bank credit.
That this is a departure from ira
ditional American policies is clear.
Whether it will prove advantageous
remains a hope. Surely there is great
