That is where the settlement is going to come in my opinion and the world! turns to you instinctively nove. "When we meet these problems of to-morrow I am sure that when you make your decisions, when you decide how this reconstruction will take place (and your President has well said that It cannot take place, the balance cannot bo redressed, without America, and America does not wish it to be done without her) when that time comes I am sure that the one great practical problem will always be rec? ognized by you outside of political party?national interest for the adjust? ment which is necessary for the world to go forward." The speakers at the general session, as occasion arose, were agreed upon the satisfactory progress of domestic trade and industry, but warned of the relation to ultimate prosperity of the European uncertainty, of the dangers of labor troubles and of the impor? tance of diminishing paternalism in government and of saner legislation. Committee Reports Heard The morning session, in which all branches of the association "partici? pated, heard and disposed of re? ports by the executive council, the committees on legislation, state and national; the committee on state taxa? tion, by the clearing houses, the trust companies, the national banks, the state banks, the savings banks and the American Institute of Hanking and the committee on public education. In the afternoon the savings bani division and the state secretaries' sec? tion completed their individual meet ings dealing with problems pccullai to their interests. A feature of tin latter was the recommendation tha' legislation placing taxation of ban! stocks an an equal basis with that of personal property be pressed in the different states. Dr. George E. Vincent, of the Rocke? feller Foundation, told the convention ?something of public health as-sets and various financiul and crime statistics were presented in the mass of reports. Almost every phase of banking activ? ity was covered in the discussions, as well as allied business topics. The Committee of One Hundred In charge of convention arrangements gave a luncheon to the executive coun? cil or the association at the Waldorf, at which Governor Benjamin Strong jr. of the New York Federal Reserve Dank, Mr. Herrick, Mr. McAdams, Dwight W. Morrow, of J. P. Morgan it Co., and John H. Puelicher, vice-presi? dent of the association and spoken of as the next president, were speakers. Mr. McAdams urge?! the desirability of having the New York bankers be? come better acquainted with the asso? ciation and its objects. He said he saw in the association an opportunity for great leadership and that ho and the others of the visiting bankers looked to New York bankers to establish that leadership. Economic Reconstruction Needed Governor Strong pictured as the need of the world a reconstruction of eco? nomic machinery so that there may be more effective application of workers to the production and distribution of the things that we need and such a reorganization as will insure that what is produced is fairly distributed among the workers in return for the work done by each." Ambassador Herrick pleaded for less distrust in international relations, warning particularly against propa? ganda tending to alienate the United States and France. He likened Eng? land and France to "a man and his wife who did not love each other par? ticularly but who had determined to get along together for the sake of the children." He did not believe that there would ever be any serious diffi? culty between those nations. The United States, England and France must get together, he thought work out the plan of world reorganiza ; tion and would, he believed, do so soon | Mr. Morrow, limiting his talk largelj ' to words of welcome, called upon bank? ers to bring into world relationship the doctrine of trust and tolorance upon which their business wan largely built, Mr. Puclicher, pointing out that the political chaos in Europe was the out? growth of racial hatreds nnd economic differences, rair.cd the question as to whether racial groups nnd economic differences existing in this country might not also assume a political as? pect. Governmental stability, he sug? gested, rested on the triad of the mate? rial, the intellectual and the spiritual. Nearly 11,000 In Attendance The attendance at the convention, as measured by registration, passed the 10,000 mark early in the day and by night was close upon 11,000. Between 4,000 and 5,000 of this total is made up of the wives accompanying delegates and a scattering of women delegates. The record-breaking number who ; have come to this convention, exceed? ing by more than (5,000 the previous top mark for meetings of bankers, is regarded as due, asido from the attrac? tion of its being staged in the country's financial capital, to the return of bet? ter times, enabling bankers to leave their businesses. Every entertainment billed has proved tremendously popu? lar and for the trip to West Point it was necessary to charter an additional steamer, the Sandy Hook, which will accommodate 1,800 additional dole gates. Red tickets will be good on this boat and white tickets on the Wash? ington Irving. The difficulty of providing for the crowd was emphasized further by the necessity of obtaining several hun? dred additional tickets for the women's theater party to-night, which, it is esti? mated, will be attended by more than 4,000. For the grand "ball to-morrow night at the Commodore full police pro? tection has been arranged, but it is anticipated that it will not prove easy to deal successfully with the largest throng that has ever gathered for a function of this kind. Twenty-two hundred have been sent off on sched? uled bus rides, and at a lecture ex? pected to arttact 200 or so 1,300 re? ported. McKenna Speaks To-day ? The starred event on to-day's pro? gram is the address on reparations and international debts by tho Right Honorable Reginald McKenna, but the bringing to the convention floor of the fight against branch banking is looked forward to with equal interest. Op? ponents of this form of banking yes? terday completed thflr plan of cam? paign and are prepared to force through if possible the resolution al? ready adopted by the state bank division. There were n few state? ment?? issued during the day, con? tributing to the agitation, bvt in the main it was held in check pending to-day's finale. The convention will also elect of? ficers and pass upon the report of the resolutions committee at the general session. The latter, announced yester? day, is composed as fellows: M. A.

From its standpoint of 123 years of service t? American industry, commerce and finance; the Bank of the Manhattan Company is in a position to say this: * The Convention would have been worth while if only as a symposium of authority on the prob? lems of the day?problems financial, industrial, commercial, domestic and international. But we prefer to look at it with an eye to the future. We believe that from this meeting of banking minds will date a new cycle in the business affairs of the civilized world.
