Every possible ef fort must be exerted to pmterve the Federal Reserve System Com political alliance and to kup Its powerful Influence entirely devoted to the building np of the greatest banking system In th* world. The flrat bank of the United 9tatei waa established In 1791 and!

Note the me of the worda "money trait” We hava the Idea that this la a modem term. The suspicions which animat* the demagogue today hav* not chang ed In a century. The second bank ot Uta United Btatea was chartered ln 1816 and failed to obtain a renewal of Its charter In 1331, the reasons being a widespread belief that the bank waa nnconstUntlonal, the hostility ot the states, the opposition of tha state banka, the rise ot democracy, and the envy and hatred which the poor always feel toward the rich. Both baaks functioned well and accomplished much for the coun try during crucial times The downfall of both wa> caused sim ply and solely by attempts to place the determination of banking poll- cles in tha hands of political an- thoritle*. * The delicate handling of cur rency and credit, to the Ugh end that the beat Intereata of all may b* served with special privilege to none, cannot be left to otberi titan those who are competent through proven Judgment and experience.
