GIANNINI LIKES
~ BANK DEPOSIT
SAN FRANCISCO, June 26—ResSstrictive regulations of the GlassSteagall Bill are beneficia: to the
banking structure of the Nation, in
the opinion of A. P. Giannini, Chairman of the Board of the Bank of
, . America.
“The new banking law is valuable
because it brings our, national bank_
ins regulations up to the minute,”
Giannini said, ‘It supersedes
egislation that was antiquated—de‘igned for a periof of banking development which is now entirely a
hing of the past. :
“The deposit guarantee feature
1as always seemed to me unnecessary if banks are operated properly
inder adequate supervision, but it
ig justifiable on this ground, if on
2o other: It will bring about a uniied national bankine system, an acsom plishment which could never
successful had Congress
attempted it in the ordinary course
of events .confronted with the prejudices of the ’States Rights’ adher“SEE
n
governmental guarantee of deposits had: to come, this -was the
Most propitious time in the history
of the country, with everything at
bottom and the minimum number of
banks in operation. The banks which
are open, those which could pass
muster during a period of deflated
values, surely will be stronger as
values advance, and consequently the
deposit insurance risk is less at this
ime it may ever be again. :
“The Glass-Steagall Bill gives gov-ernmental endorsement to branch
banking, which the Bank of America
has successfully pioneered in California. In my opinion it is the forerunner of legislation which eventually
will extend branch banking to a
nationwide scale _,as is the case in. _
all other countries.
“One significant feature of thethe Bill which should not be overlooked is the provision that minority
stockholders of a national bank have:
the right to elect representatives on
the board of the institution in proportion to the stock they hold,
through cumulative voting privileges.
“The sections of the Bill dealing
with operations of holding companies
and security affiliates offer no obStacles to the operation of Transamerican Corporation ‘and com pliance ‘with theterms of the new legislation can be effected without difficulty.
