'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."

WHAT IS ADVERTISING f
“Advertising is the education of
the public as to what yon are, where
yon are, and what you have to offer
in the way of skill, talent or com
modity. The only man who should
not advertise is the man who has
nothing to offer the world in the
way of commodity or service.”

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.
