held tlio view that tlio Federal Ro

changes before trust companies
should consider entering tho Federal

Anxious Year
Tho committee, of which Hznl II.

been full of anxiety for tlio hanker,
owing to tho l?uropean war, and ac
tually nionotnry disturbances had un

cause of tho confidence felt by tho
public u the inherent strength of tlio
