John KkHtnn Williams, furniei
comptroller of the currency and chief

culled before the commission recently
referred to such a bank as having
been uiu.'uly favored.

"Now the comptroller (Mr. Wil

didn't concern him, and I, for one
never (.'iscused it with him.'
Governor Sti'ong said he "hesitated
to make the statement that slock ex

the emergencies, "hec'iuse it isn't our
function to control slock exchange

where speculative risks are assumed
have a place in the great, economic
