By M. A. Traylor, Chairman, Ecomomic Policy Commission, Amerlcan Bankers Association ‘ A cross section of American thought today, as refiected in private eonversation, public addresses and

through our multitude of avenues of thought distribution, would reveal perhaps as ‘great a confusion of ideas and pur"poses as confounded the as__a‘embled throng at Babylon. lls

ft not high time that the bankers demand the preservation and practice of those sound fundamental principles which are so- absolutely essential to the welfare of the nation? Bankers and business men of the country have little right to complain of the prevalence of unsound economic theories, of radical political tendencies and paralyzingly foolish - legislation, so long as they maintain the silent or defensive attitude which has characterized them in the past. -

A few days ago I heard a gentleman, supposedly well versed in politics, say that if the charter of the Federa]l Reserve System were up for renewal or extension at the present time, he doubted very much if Congress would prolong the life of the System, and certainly if it did would only do so after such amendments and modifications as would destroy the basic ,principles underlying the present structure. A real menace is involved in this suggestion, but I wonder how much we have done or will do to acquaint the voting public, who will eventually elect the Congress ‘who will pass upon this proposition, with the actual facts of the case. Notwithstanding mistakes that have been made in the administration of the System, most of the opposition to it is based not upon facts but upon twisted stories and the absolute falsehoods of the officegeeker, who has found it easy and popular to attack and blame the System for all the ills, alleged and imagined, which may affect any particular group. - ' _ ' Banking a Science The science of banking is not an accident. It rests upon principies as fundamental ag the laws of the universe. Long, teghmical and practical experience is absolutely essential to the safe management of any financial institution, and yet what is the 'result of the political assaulfs that have beefl made upon the Federal Reserve, the ‘greatest piece of financial machinery in this country? The people from time to time are electing to office men wheose chief claim to their support is that they will see to it that every banker is driven from the Federal Reserve Board and that the Board shall be constituted in a majority or wholly of those coming from the par-

ticular bloc the politician alleges he represents. : There sbould be & diversity of interest represented upon the Board, but that the majority of the Board should ever be constituted of other than men thoroughly trained by practical experience in firancial management is to me utterly unthinkable and if practiced will in the end lead to a complete disintegration of the strength of the System, if not to a worse conclusion. : - ~We do not select bankers for our plowboys or bricklayers for our artists. We demand specialists for every character of specific activity, and the welfare of our whole population demands that the credit power of the nation, without which no business can live, must be committed likewise to the hands of experts in its use and distribution. ‘ : ' It is a pretty and catching phrase to declaim that if you destroy the agriculture of the country grass will grow in the streets of your cities, but it is no more true than to say that it you destroy the credit structure of your country the ‘products of your labor will rot in the fields and the machinery of your industry and commerce rust into inactivity and decay. Therefore, let us, who are in no smali measure responsible for the banking and financial ‘welfare of the nation, give umstintingly of our time to the propagation of sound economic policies. - L :
