Mr.. McAlliSter warned the

Place Sofety First
Some associations give first
consideration to safety, ample
reserves and adequate 1iquidity,
while some pay "higher-than-
reasonable" dividends to bring in
savings, operate with minimum
liquidity and use their credit to
the limit, he said.
In his annual report Mr.. Camp
raised the question as to whether
some associations can afford to
pay higher dividends.
He quoted from a recent bulle-
tin of the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Greensboro which dis
closed that the 3 per cent aver

Bunks Face Question

The same question is faced by
Washington banks, seven Of
whom have refused so far to
join the parade to the 2 per cent
level.
However the question is more
intense for them, because banks
are required by law to maintain
a more liquid position than saw
lngs and loan associations.
Most of the banks, who have
been quick to join the parade,
have a low proportion of savings
deposits and the increase has
had less effect on total income
necessary to meet operating
costs.
A number of those, who are
opposed to higher rates, take
the position that to join a race
would be to skate on thin ice
and compromise with safety
standards.
I'VE would rather lose some
of our savings accounts than to
put ourselves in the position Of
not being able to meet deposit
tors demands at all times" one
