He also points out the disastrous consequences of previous cen-traf bank experiments in the United Statea. ur present regional Federal Re-serve System under private ownership Is Infinitely better tor this country than would be a government-owned and controlled central Mr. Hecht says.

What Andrew Jackaoa Said "The continued existence of tbe Second Bank finally became a bitter political issue and President Jackson succeeded in abolishing it." Mr. Hecht saya "Permit me to quote from his tare-well address: The Immense capital and peculiar privileges bestowed, upon it enabled it to exercise despotic sway over the other banks In every part of the country.

From Its superior strength it could seriously Injure.

Mr. Hecht says, a nlaa that has worked esceedingly well because the separate banks are under the auldance of men chosen on account of their Intimate acquaintance with the problems and needs or weir Maiwetlve territories.
