A report by the comptroller of the currency shows country banks increasing resources by 759 million dollars since May 1916, a 12 percent rise, while national banks in central reserve cities declined by 77 million dollars, or 2 percent, suggesting greater bank resource collusion and implying the federal reserve system may be fulfilling its purpose and promoting financial independence across regions.

Washington and the nation wonder at Germany's new proposal for further talks on bilateral relations.
