The national banks are i n an unfavorable p o s i t i o n to

This shows i t s e l f especially in the a b i l i t y of the

Mr, Collins gives ... a brief but clear treatment of the
branch banking question as it has developed in the U.S.
in the past few years. His 1st chapters deal with
branch braking under state laws, and the number and distribution of statutory branches of national banks*
He then discusses the establishment of additional offices of natl. banks under the rulings announced by Comptroller Crlssenger in 1922, later sustained by an opinion
of Attny. General Daughkrty. No mention is made of the
establishment of additional offices in some states in which
State banks are not allowed to open branches
Chief value is that it brings together the facts in cur
rent controversy in
U.S. and summarizes them.
