AMERICAN banking is facing revolutionary changes in its structure. Our unit system has been subjected to relentless pressure from all sides, and the unit banker is now standing at the crossroads, confronted with the alternative of being submerged or facing a lingering struggle for existence against growing odds. The time has come for a very material reduction in the total number of banking institutions without reducing banking facilities. Particularly if greater uniformity of operation can be secured in some satisfactory fashion, it is unwise to attempt to operate the large number of independent banks that are still in existence. The arguments for and against unit banking are so obvious and well known that they hardly need comment
