Comparatir;e Bank Management
Leaving aside the question of dimensions in capitalism
.as embodied in the size of banks let us go into some other
details of comparative bank-managment and place the
-C.B.1. figures in the perspective of big Eur-American
and Japanese banks. Attention is being invited to one
item. The proportion of reserve to capital with the
·C.B.I. was for five years (1923-27) nearly 59'S p.c., and
i~ recent years it has been 44·6 p.c., 53,3 p.c., S 1'1 p.c',
52;3' p.c., etc. In Italy, trance, Germany, as well
as to a ct:rtain extent in Great Britain and Japan the practice
does not appear to be much different from that
lo11owed by the C.B.I., although uniformity is of course
