Says System Is Adequ- ate To The Needs of This Country and No Reason Exists For a Change.

(Canadian Press)

UITAWA, May ltis-‘rhe banking system of Canada. is adcqauto to the needs of this country and no reason exists for s. change. This was the opinion expressed in the House of Commons today by Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, Prime Minister and Acting Minister of Finance. in a speech which revealed an intimate know- ledge of Canadian banking and fin- ance, Mr. Bennett asserted that the Canadian system embraced those great basic requirements which are essential to its success. It provided the people with a sale depository do: the hiolioy which they desired to save, and, it furnished to those peo- ple requiring money adequate facili- ties for borrowing.

Discussion arose on a motion of G. G. Cools, U. F. A. member for Mao- leod, Alta, asking the House to de- clare that “there should be estab- lished in Canada e nationally owned central bank." ‘The branch bank system which had ivorkocl well in England and also in Canada. WOllld. he believed, be extended in the Unit- ed States. said Mr. Bennett. "I think it is well to point out that in thb year 1930 there were lad banks suspended in the United States of America, and that during the month of January of this yagr 107 bangs suspended." In answer- to s. ques- tion, he explained that these banks had suspended payment.
