Henry M. Dawes, comptroller of the currency made an open appeal to the country in his annual report today for the preservation and protection of the national banks. ' The national banking system, he snid, deserves more consideration than it recently has rocclved. He in sisted that it is now a question for congress to decide whether the sev eral unfavorable factors bearing on the system shall continuo or whether "we shall sit idly by and apathetically watch its retrogration." One of the principal influences cit ed by Mr. Dawes was the "persistent suggestion" that the office of comp troller of the currency be abolished. Another factor characterized- as equally Important is the agitation over branch banking. "I cannot resist a feeling little short of resentment that so many sugges tions and so many tendencies seem directed along lines prejudicial to the national banking system. If we are to have a national banking ' system over which the government exercises supervisory control, that control must be In the hands of an independent executive and not the representative of a preferential creditor. The only fair and only logical thing to do is either to continue the present system with an independent controller or abolish the system entirely. A man cannot serve two masters, and a trus tee who will act for two conflicting interests is ipso facto Incompetent either mentally or morally." The branch banking problem, the comptroller said, presents a clean cut issue as to whether the country pre fers a system of privately owned branch banks or a reserve system under federal control. The question, he added, was Interwoven both with the life of the Federal Reserve Sys tem and the life of the national banks which are compelled by the Federal Reserve Act to retain membership in the reserve system. Branch banking, the comptroller asserted, was essentially monopolistic and he added that to assume that half a dozen or a dozen state banks would not have some mutuality of action in states where they controlled a largo portion of the banking inter ests was to ignore the fundamental basis of human action. "If any lessons are to bo drawn from the development of large indus trial enterprises in the United States." he said, "it is that the principle of centralization, when once Inaugurated will proceed, unless-interfered with by governmental action, to a point of complete concentration In an individ ual or a group dominated by an indi vidual. Should a situation of this kind develop in any federal reserve district, the federal " reserve bank there either would boelimlnnted as a factor In the financial community or would be virtually under the control of such a group." The constructive course, the report declared, lies in relict for the national banks. Such a program, Mr. Dawes said, should permit continuation of state bank privileges on their present level while at the same time the oper ations of the national institutions would be lifted up to the same plane of competition. He said that at pres ent the national banks were handi capped by hard and fast obligations to the federal government which they were bound to observe. "Either the national banks should be accorded the full branch banking privileges of the state banks and ex tensive branch banking be permitted in tho Federal Reserve System," Mr. Dawes added, "or statewide ' branch hanking should not be permitted In the reserve system. There Is no mid dle ground. It is a question of either embarking upon a career of branch banking or. for all practical purposes, curbing It." ..
