Hardly since the bonanza days of the Russo-Japanese . war, when Japanese government contracts for everything from bully beef to battleships were to be had for the asking, has such an op- portunity been presented to business men with connection in the far east. In rebullding the devastated areas, howover, Japanese products, particu- larly Osaka, will probably be used to a men anticipate, for Japan has pro- ed far along the road of industrial- ism since the days of the war \\'l(hl Russia, when the island empire was almost entirely dependent upon: the western countries for factory products. N rtheless reports that the destroyed will be rebullt along the lines of rn cities encourage exporters to that they will be sending ship- loads of material to the orient. The Federation of British Industries leading in the efforts here to assist glish firms to land contracts, and announced a profect whereby a | gToup of non-competing manufacturers | hopes to maintain its own represent- | ative in Japan. The scheme is intended for those manufacturers who do not maintain their own men in the Japa- | nese empire, and, therefore, it does not involve competition with already estab- | lisher- firms.

As this type of individual is usually not the possessor of high class collateral at the be- ginning ‘of ‘his ‘career, the banker is dependent in a large measure on the character, of which he can only be sure by personal contact and acquaint- ance. “It can well be said that the rapid economic development of {America has been largely due {to | the policy of the pnoneenng lunit banks which this principle of service.

The attempt is now .being made to buy out and crowd out the community bank. The next logical step is to consolidate the larger institutions. “BULLY,” AS ROOSEVELT . WOULD SAY :The recent American Bank- ers’ Association authorized a committee to oppose branch '| banking, and authorized an ap- propriation to put teeth into its original resolution condemning branch b-nlung of any char- acter. Eighteenth Street, and asks the | President, the Secretary of the Treasury or the Comptroller of | the Currencv to correct the act; that the permit should be can- celed and if any more issued that they should be issued under the | National Bank law and not un- der a bill initiated for another purpose. VENTED OBJECTIONAL BRANCH BANKING as the Millspaugh Bill = the! Comptroller was apparently given necessary ‘authority to prevent further branch bank- ing in the District of Columbia b Instead M:f suthorized such by National Banks of a sort not U- | practiced by State banks and of a character severely criticized | demned in the District. | and con No State banks were opening new branches. In the face of the contentions’ claims of being opposed to branch banking do not appear to stand. THE YOUNG MAN'S FIGHT Probably to no one else is branch banking such a vital question as to the ambitious young man. If he wants to be a sort of clerk in a large bank or branch of a large bank de- stroying his opportunities for individual development and eliminating chances for a Presi- dency Vice Presidency or Cash- ier's place, branch banking af- fords an opportunity. Let him offer character, intel- ligence and capacity as security for a loan to one of those large institutions and find out. The following from 2 firm whose business is to assist in the building up_of the deposits of banks in reference to the loca- tion of a branch on 18th Street: “Replying to your inquiry wish to state that we have re- cently canvassed the banking zone tributary to Eighteenth Street and Columbia Road, and there is no doubt that there are not banking resources in that section for two banks to be operated profitably and will not be in our opinion for some years to come. (Signed) ! i “J. H. HASBROUCK & CO.” In no case have the real of- fenders put a branch in new or unoccupied territory; a;“)arently they want the cream, collect sav- ings, leaving the community bank to.take care of the com- munity’s interests. 5 COULD HAVE PRE.|[ Under the April Act known | Let the law come 5.;uarely be- { for the Supreme Court and obey | its mandate.

Comp- troller, instead of ignoring the existing law, got an opinion| from the Attorney General that branch banking by Nationall Banks is illegal, but that~ theyg may have on permission of the Comptroller what the Attorney General calls Tellers’ yindows in other parts of a city in order to receive deposits and pay! checks, but the Comptroller limits even that to States per- mitting branch banking; hence in our opinion sheuld be allowed only in a locality where there is’ competition of State banks hav- ing branches. Branch bankm’é is un-Ameri- can, contrary to the genius: of our people. Even granting:a! fair motive, the result has been ! and is inevitably harmful Through its branches sa 'large bank gathers up the deposits, takes them to the central bank| for investment, stultifying the growth of communities and towns. AS TO FAIR DEALING- If an utility corporation, if a storage company have under law ! no right to engage in -business | until and after careful inquiry! is made that another such can prosper, why should a Comp- troller of the Currency .grant a} permit for-a branch bank in 1m-( mediate competition. with. an-| other, and pioneer bank until and after careful inquiry is made ' that deposit resources are such! as to enable the second bank to, prosper?
