Mr. Morgan heard his own name and that of his firm referred to many times as tables were prt-ttcnted show ing "the affiliations of that concern with many bunks, trust companies, truiihportution and industrial corxra tions. He amx-ared unmoved through out it all. Mr. Mohan's testimony lastisl barely 20 minutes and was largely preliminary. 1 he chief point mailv was that he favored allowing interstate corpora tions to detiosit their funds in the hands of private bunkers without re striding them to institutions under government supervision. He said this was a matter to be left to the discre lion of the board of directors of the cortiorations in question. Mr. Morgan confirmed data prepared by members of the Morgan house showing ithat CtJ accounts with the Moriran firm in January last had de- l)sils of tCS.l 13,000 and that 78 ac counts on November 1 hud deposits of $Hl,tiK,000.

I'rior to Mr. Morgan a examination the committee heard testimony bear ing upon the so-called concentration o monev und credits. This was present ed in the form of charts prepared by Philip J.
