THE SAME COUNTRY
Bv ROBERT V. FLEMING
Vice President, American Bankers
Association
There is a growing appreciation, both
on the part of tiie people and the Gov¬
ernment. of the earnest and sincere
efforts being made
oy bankers to aid
in recovery. It is
'esirable that we
miss no opportu¬
nity to foster pub¬
lic understanding
of the bankers’
! problems. We

m ,. upset economic
.
j conditions. Our af¬
fairs are closely
inter - related
u, v. Fleming only within
coniines of
own borders but extend to other coun¬
tries throughout the world.
The Greatest Difficulty
I think the greatest difficulty we
to overcome in America today is due
to our impatience with the progress we
are making towards recovery. We must
realize that while the Government can
help by directing some measures for re¬
lief and recovery, we must help our¬
selves by doing our share to give im¬
petus to the Government’s efforts.
have the same country and basically
same businesses, factories and people
we had prior to the depression, and
business initiative must step forward
if real recovery is to be achieved.
The theory we often hear expressed
that banks create business activity is
wrong. Banking can only make a sup¬
plementary contribution to business ac¬
tivity. Bankers have the ''acilitres and
the desire to extend credit, but busi¬
ness must initiate activity by
the credit which is readily available
all worthy borrowers.
Let it be said for business,
that business men are as eager as
ers to contribute towards recovery,
think some of the trouble lies in
fact that too many legislative
have been proposed for reform
leave an uncertainty in the minds
business leaders as to their
outcome and effect. Consequently,
hesitate to expand until the
effects of such legislation are known.
Mechanical Devices That Impede
the Work of Bandits De¬
scribed by Bankers As¬
sociation Official
The imped imams which the hard
working bank robber now meets in ply-
'ing bis trade among small as well
large banks are described by James E.
Baum, Deputy Manager
Bankers Association in charge of
Protective Department, in an article
“Banking” published by his
tion.
“Protective equipment will
if not prevent loss,” Mr. Baum
“such as the sileut automatic type
alarm, approved tear gas systems,
eral styles of bandit resisting
ures and timelocks, or safes
with timelocks, which minutes. can be^set
intervals of a few
"The silent automatic alarms
in the beginning of a holdup and
through actions carried out by the
employees in obedience to the bandits
own commands. They are adaptable
the smaller banks which continue to
easiest targets for bank robbery.
Tear Gas Systems
“Tear gas systems have their advan¬
tages as self-contained protective
4-1]ere outside aid is inconvenient
too remote from the bank to be effec¬
tive. One objection to the use of tear
gas in preventing holdup is the need of
pressing a lever or button to
it. Although this necessary action seems
too much to expect of the victims in a
crisis where their lives are in jeopardy,
the fact remains that tear gas systems
have defeated bank robbery. Its de
terrent value is also important.
“Different styles of bandit resisting
enclosures are avai'able. The lock man¬
ufacturers also produce timeiocks
which can be set to open at Intervals of
five minutes or longer. These iocks are
especially adapted for attachment t
small safes or chests for safeguarding
surplus funds while the bank is open
for business.”

Stock or Central Banks
Usually Privately Owned
Of all the central banks at pieseut
existing there are only four whose stock
is owned by the government. The new¬
est central bank s that of Canada,
which opened its doors only a few
months ago after a most exhaustive
study had been made of the experience
of all nations with the result.that the
stock of the Bank of Canada is privately
owned. _

GOVERNMENT BANK
mmm to u.s,
Would Serve Politics Rather Than
Business Needs, Says R. S.
Hecht, Citing Previous
Experiences.
QUOTES PRESIDENT JACKSON
Extent and Diversity of This Country
Presents Different Situation From
Europe and Makes Regional
Banking Necessary.
WASHINGTON. D. C.—A refutation
of arguments in favor of a government
owned central bank system for the
United States is presented in a state¬
ment by it. S. Hecht, President of the
American Bankers Association, based
on exhaustive studies of European cen¬
tral banks. He also points out the dis¬
astrous consequences of previous cen¬
tral bani. experiments in the United
States.
“Our present regional Federal Re¬
serve System under private ownership
is infinitely better for this country
than would be a government-owned
and controlled central bank,” Mr.
Hecht says. “If history teaches us any¬
thing. it is that it is almost certain that
a central bank so owned would be run
to meet the varying exigencies of the
government in power rather than to
solve the commercial needs of the
country."
Central banking has been tried twice
in the United States, but was finally
abolished because the credit control
which the central banks exercised be¬
came objectionable and unpopular, he
goes on to say.
What Andrew Jackson Said
“The continued existence of the Sec¬
ond Bank finally became a bitter polit¬
ical issue and President Jackson suc¬
ceeded in abolishing it,” Mr. Hecht
says. “Permit me to quote from his fare
weU address: ‘The immense capital and
’j. ;iliar priviic -s scstowed upon It
enabled it to exercise despotic sway
over the other banks in every part of
the country. From its superior strength
it, could seriously injure. If not destroy,
the business of any of them which
might incur its resentment. ... If you
had not conquered, the government
would have passed from the hands of
the many to the hands of the few; and
this organized money power, from its
secret conclave, would have dictated
the choice of your highest officers. . .
The forms of your government might,
for a time, have remained, but its living
spirit would have departed from it.’ ”
When the Wilson Administration con¬
sidered banking reform it carefully
kept away from vesting central bank¬
ing powers in a single institution and
instead introduced the regional idea by
creating twelve reserve banks located
in different economic and geographical
sections of the couni ry, \£. Hecht says,
a plan that has worked exceedingly
well because the separate banks are
under the guidance of men chosen on
account of their intimate acquaintance
with the problems and needs of their
respective territories. He continues:
“The great size and diversity of
America tends to make a central bank
undesirable. The central banks of Eu¬
rope ^uch as the Banks of England,
France and Germany, cover areas not
33 large as some of our states. A cen
traI bank in the United States on the
other hand would be called upon to ad¬
minister the financial policies of an
area larger than all of Europe, in
which there are quite a number of cen¬
tra! banks.
Subservient to Popular Demand*
“Moreover, history has proven that
any banking system entirely owned
and dominated by the government usu¬
ally demonstrates much greater ability
in aiding expansion of credit than in
putting on the brakes at the right time
to prevent undue iniiation by restrain¬
ing and contracting credit. This is easy
to under:;: and because in times of de
pression everyone is urging the govern
ment to make money and credit easy
and to encourage expansion.
“On the other hand, it always has
been and always will be a difficult task
for any government to call a halt it.
time of apparent prosperity because in
the very nature cf things the govern
ment would be very sensitive to public
criticism and would hesitate to take
any action which would tend to curtail
business activity. It is such undue sus-
ceptibility to popular demands which
mak< - g-.vornment banking inherently V
weak.
“Our studies show that of all the cen¬
tral banks at present existing there are
only four whose stock is owned by the
government. The newest central bank
is that ot Canada, which opened its
doors only a few months ago after a
most exhaustive study had been made
of the experience of all nations with
the result that^ the stock of the Bank
of Canada is privately owned.”

AAA Contracts
To Be Checked
For Compliance
Checking of compliance on
approximately 150,000 tobacco
cotton and peanut contracts
in Gcorgiu is now under way.
officials of the state allot¬
ment board in Athens have
announced. While measure¬
ment of the acreage under con ,
tract on tobacco is now more
than half finished, the work
on cotton and peanuts has
iust begun but will be rushed
to completion.
More than 2,000 supervisors
will handle the details of com¬
pliance. Men recommended
and selected as being qualified
lor tliis work have been secur¬
ed, and they will measure and
report on crop acreages on
every farm under contract.
Both the cultivated and rent¬
ed acres will be checked, of¬
ficials said.
Where it is found that the
crop acreages are in accord¬
ance with faets as stated in the
contract, the supervisors will
issue a certificate of compli¬
ance! and the contract holder
w ill receive his second rental
check in due course. Where
I he area is in cultivation or
the rented acreage is not in ae
cord with statements in the
the contract, it will be neces¬
sary for the producer to con¬
form to such regulations as
may lie fixed by the Secretary
of Agr i c u I t u r e before the
second rental check will be is¬
sued.
Contract signers can aid the
compliance supervisors greatly
by being on hand to give nec¬
essary information concerning
the various fields whieh they
are cultivating when they are
visited to take measurements,
officials of the allotment board
said.
