Branch Banks Seen by Roger Babson
At the American Bankers Association convention in New York Roger Babson comments on bank power shifts since the Federal Reserve system. He notes invisible coordination among large city and country banks, the impact of interlocking directorates, and the loss of influence as money rates fall. Banks seek new ways to recoup prestige, including foreign trade, but tariff effects hinder progress.
