The teadea-jey toward the unification of the banking system of tho country was strongly indicated by the discussion at the meeting of the Executive Council of the American Bankers' Association. Much time was taken up by the revert of the Committee on State Legislation and the opinion of the members of the council was not unanimous. There waa, however, no; hostility to the Federal Reserve Systcty. What opposition there was developed as the result of the discussion as to 'the methods to be pursued and the policy to be followed id getting the state banks to join the reserve system.

It waa disclosed that in Colorado only one state-chartered bank has joined the reserve system. This law of Colorado forbids a bank to own Hock in another banking institution, but the attorney general decided that in the ease of this one bank, the law did not apply. There was opposition to aay effort to secure a ehanfre la the state law which would make it possible for the state banks of Colorado to join the system. A member from Colorado said that if the door was opened so that the state banks of Colorado could join tho system if they wished to, pressure would be brought to bear them and it would be impossible for them long to withstand it.
