SEES HEAVY CLAIMS ON FUTURE BANKERS FARM BUREAU AUXILIARY CANNERY IS GREAT SUCCESS According to Mrs. Frank Gulwits who is In charge of the Farm Bureau Association A uxiliary cannery, it has been a great success so far. T his w eek’s canning 'American Bankers Official Declares That Banking Changes Creating Large Bank Systems Will Call for Broader Social Viewpoints. Larger scale group or branch bank ing w ill Inevitably bring a new era of hanking organisation and operations to the United States and,hankers*will hare to develop "new conceptions, new administrative methods and pew eco nomic views," Rudolf 8. Hecht, Chair man of the Economic Policy Commis sion of the American Bankers Associa* tlon, recently told the members o f the American Institute of Banking. The Institute is the educational sec tion of the association and he empha sised the point that the new era In hanking demanded “that we must step- up our education so that banking shall be fortified for new responsibilities." What the Future Calls For "We must broaden our social concep tion of banking,” Mr. Hecht said. “Not only for the technical operations of the new banking must we fit ourselves, but both as Individuals and an organized profession we must charge ourselves with serious consideration of the so cial problems that are Involved. Al ready we hear murmurlngs and fears and doubts as to whether the changes that are coming about In banking In the extension of group and branch sys tems do not constitute the looming of a new financial menace, a monopolistic threat not only to the Individual unit banker, but to the financial liberty of society In general. I am stating these things merely as facts that must be taken Into consideration In our studies. “Public opinion cannot be Ignored by any business, least of all by bank ing, which Is admittedly semi-public in character and Is, therefore, subject to special supervision by the consti tuted authorities. If banking develops tendencies that give rise to public fears, we must so conduot ourselves as to reassure all doubts. "For this Is true,—that business suc ceeds only by serving society—that no business can permanently prosper which does not both render service to the public and at the same time con vince the public that It Is rendering that service. Banking, therefore, must take cognizance of what the public Is saying of thia new era In its develop m en t "It must be part of the technique of modern banking administration, whatever form our enlarged Institu tions take, to avoid the creation of monopolies, or even the appearance of such a centralisation of financial power as to be able to exercise an un due Influence over public or private finance or other lines of business. The public’s right to the safeguards of fair competition must be observed. Must Preserve Individual Initiative "It must also be an Item of man agement that Individual Initiative and opportunity shall be maintained. It America has outstripped other nations In the distribution of the benefits of its progress, it Is due to the fact that there are no barriers of social caste or business tradition against advance ment for character, ability, and Initia tive. American business has learned that It serves Itself best by encourag ing by every practical means Individ ual ambition and Initiative, and hurts Itself most by repressing or neglecting them. Competition for efficiency, both within an organisation and between organisations, w ill prevent any Insti tution from long enduring In which maintenance of opportunity and recog nition of Initiative are not controlling principles of management. As heads of the greatest of our financial and In dustrial Institutions stand men who started from the humblest of begin nings. Through all the grades of ex ecutive authority and reward stand men In positions In keeping, generally speaking, with their Individual merits. I, personally, see no reason for fearing that the enlarged banking organisa tions which the future may hold would necessarily supply future bank em ployees with any less opportunity for achievement than unit banking. "Again, a major consideration o f ad ministration In any multiple form of banking Organization must be Its pub lic relations In every community It touches. Its foremost consideration must be actually and visibly to serve the economic upbuilding of that com munity. No system will be long tol erated whose local members work, or are suspected as working, to draw economic strength from one place to enlarge the flnanical power of another. The local unit bank baa always been part and parcel of the communities where It lives—and no system can last which does not make It a major prin ciple of operating technique to serve, and not exploit, the communities Into business lives It enters." Growth of Banking Education DENVER, Colo.—At the American Institute of Banking convention held here last month the growth In the effort among bank employees to pro vide them selves with hanking educa tion w as shown by the fact, a s re ported by one speaker, that 12 years ago the Institute had $0 study chap ter«, today SOS, and that Its enroll ment In the study courses had grown from 11,000 to fii.hOO, or en Increase of over 300 per cent. The graduates number nearly 14,009.

V U H lO N PACIFIC FORD CANADA Canada is becoming increasingly popular as a place for Americans to go on their vacation trips. That not all on account of the ease with which one may get a drink across the border, compared with this side. Those interested in the quaint and historical find much to fascinate them in the old French settlements in Que bec and the historical coast of Nova Scotia. Fishermen, mountaineers and motorists, as well at ordinary vaca tionists. from the United States spent f289.000.000 in Canada last year, the I icpartment of Commerce estimate«, while Canadian tourists spent about $91.000.000 on this side of the border. Considering that Canada has less than 10 percent as many people as we have, that is a pretty good showing for our northern neighbors. FLYING The flying season is just now at its he.ght. Roger Q.

There is still a considerable body of Jacobites in Canada who hold that the present King of England has no right to his throne and that an -ob scure European nobleman of the Stuart line is the rightful heir of James IL But nobody takes them seriously, any more than anyone now takes seriously those who try to keep our old sectional enmity alive.
