BANKER ATTORNEY
SEES PROSPERITY
|. M. Bailey Speaks To
; State Convention Aboard
Big Ocean Liner

Aboard the S. S. Reliance, Enroute
to Havana June 22.-(AP)-L M.
Bailey, of Raleigh, general counsel of
the North Carolina Bankers Associa-
ton, predicted period of unprecc-
dented prosperity and security for
banking in a speech today at the 42nd
annual convention of the association.
being held on shipboard.
While the S. S. Reliance pushed or
toward Havana, where it is slated
to dock this afternoon, the bankers
held the second business session of
their convention, which began Satur-
day when the ship left New York.
Bailey reviewed the history of
North Carolina banking regulations
taking up briefly the 80-odd regula-
tory measures passed by the Gen.
eral Assembly since 1868.
"Outstanding in all bank legisla-
ton in North Carolina, and especially
those acts dealing with the regula-
ton of banks, there is indicated the
need that banking be conducted by
men above reproach and thoroughly
familiar with the intricate processes
of business" he said.
"It is impossible for legislation t.
create such men or to provide banks
that are safer than the men who
operate them. 1t can be said WITT
pride that, in the main, banking has
had able, progressive and aggressive
leadership"
