One of the richest men In th

of his will. It read: “I have had
a wonderful happy time and I thank
God for the boon of life."
And a little earlier In the will
occurred this sentence: “I can only
wish that I had been more worthy
of the affection lavished upon me
from birth by my mother, father.

It isn't by using a figure of speech

the fact that his estate would bring

The Bankers Today
The bankers who are in charge of
our banks today represent men who
withstood the temptations and avoided
the economic pitfalls of the great
boom. If they bad not they would not
be there, or their banks would not
have been able to survive the rack and
ruin of the economic hurricane, by
which even many banks and bankers,
whose conduct was above reproach,
have been destroyed. The other types
of bankers, those that tell below the
high standards of professional ethics
and business prudence that character
ized those that remain, have passed
out of the picture. But they have left
for those that remain a difficult herit
age of suspicion and ill will.
How Irrational this is, when we re
flect that not more than three or four
per cent of our entire population suf
fered personal loss because of what
any banker did or neglected to do,
whereas literally millions of bank de
positors did not lose a single cent as
a result of banking difficulties and
really owe a vote of confidence and
thanks to their own hankers who were
true to the highest conceptions of their
stewardship and brought their institu
tions and their customers safely
through the greatest business disaster
the world has ever seen. It has been
a peculiar feature of the psychological
distortion of the times that many who
owe nothing but gratitude to their
bankers joined in blaming the banker
tar out of proportion with any rational
consideration of tbe facts.

TEDERAL examination of trust de-
- partments is the latest develop
ment in banking supervision and trust
companies and banks operating trust
departments are welcoming this de
velopment because it fills a long-felt
want. It is stated by the Trust Division
of the American Bankers Association.
Despite the growing importance of
American trust business in recent
years examining officials have never
given to trust departments the atten
tion paid to commercial banking de
partments. this authority points out.
Now the Federal Reserve System, in
conjunction with the Comptroller of
the Currency, has undertaken to bring
the examination of trust departments
up to the level of commercial bank ex-
aminations. it says.
Experts in trust work are being em
ployed by the various Federal Reserve
Banks. These experts will head the
special staffs of trust examiners in the
twelve Federal Reserve Districts. Spe
cial staffs are already at work tn some
of the Reserve Districts, including
Boston, Atlanta. Richmond and Chi
cago. The Federal Reserve will ex
amine the trust departments of state-
chartered members of the Reserve Sys-
tem.
Uniform Supervision
Meanwhile, the Comptroller of the
Currency has built up over the past
two years a staff of special examiners
for the trust departments of national
banks. All national banks are members
of the Federal Reserve System. Since
nearly all state-chartered trust institu-
tions are members of the Reserve Sys
tem the new plan will bring about
what amounts to Federal examination
for the trust business.
State examining authorities probably
will follow Federal supervisory policies
to a considerable extent. Hence, coor
dination of the procedure of the nation
al banking system and the Federal Re
serve System is expected to result In
a uniform system of examinations tor
trust departments in all banks. This In
turn should produce considerable
standardization In the operation of
