SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 7. The ex. ecutive committee of the trust com pany section of the Aemrlcan Bank era' association In its report presented at today's session of the convention ! urged "extreme conservatism" on the part of trust companies In the exten sion of business. It also held the view that the federal reserve act must un dergo a number of changes before trust companies should consider en tering the federal reserve system. The committee, of which Uzal H. McCarter of Newark, N. J., is chair man, pointed out that the year had been full of anxiety for the banker, owing to the European war, and ac tual monetary disturbances had un doubtedly been avoided largely be cause of the confidence felt by the public In the Inherent strength of the financial institutions and their ability in an, emergency to avail themselves of the provision of the federal reserve act for rediscounts and the obtaining of such additional currency as might be necessary. Money had been plenti ful during the year, with the result that profits to the banks had been cor respondingly low. Dull business con ditions particularly meant heavy de posit lines for the trust companies. and that In turn necessitated the care ful consideration as to how to profit ably employ funds on hand. The action which the trust compa nies have taken Jointly to test the constitutionality of the portion of the federal reserve act in which the granting of trust powers Is given to national banks was referred to in the report.

Secretary Lansing said that reports he had received thus far were incon clusice nd filed to establish exactly' how the ship : had been destroyed.
