Excerpt from Banking Problems It was on account of this striking contrast between experiences here in America and conditions abroad that the National Monetary Commission, in undertaking its investigation of possible means for improving the credit arrangements of this country, began by examining the banking institutions, customs, and regulations of the leading countries of Europe. If among other people in most respects not unlike ourselves, financial panics do not occur and the credit systems maintain themselves intact in the face of stress and strain, then the reasons for that difference require examination. In the summer of 1908, shortly after the appointment of the commission, several of its representatives visited England, France and Germany, the three countries of Europe in which conditions most closely resemble our own, examining their banking systems by personal interviews with the directors and managers of the leading banks and arranging for the preparation of papers and monographs by the leading authorities of those countries. Since then representatives of the commission have also been deputed to investigate the banking systems of most of the other leading countries, including Canada, Scotland, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Russia, Mexico, and Japan.
