Important in the week's development was an announcement by U. S. Secretary of State Stimson officially quashing the possibility of the U. S. Government's participation in the proposed International Bank. Secretary Stimson said: "While we look with interest and sympathy upon the efforts of the committee of experts to suggest a solution and a settlement of the vexing question of German reparations, this government does not desire to have any American official directly or indirectly participate in the collection of German reparations through the agency of this bank or otherwise...

National City's President Gordon Sohn Rentschler was 43 when (TIME, April 8) he took office.

Equitable-Seaboard. To a Manhattan blase with bank mergers, the union of Equitable Trust Co. with Seaboard National Bank (the unwieldy new name is Equitable Seaboard Bank & Trust Co.) created no furor. Yet the new institution ranked as fifth largest U. S. bank* with resources of approximately 900 million dollars. The new bank will operate under a state trust company charter, thus marking the passing of another (Seaboard) national bank. Merger terms specified exchange of 1 ½ shares of Equitable for one of Seaboard, the Seaboard share carrying with it a share of Seaboard National Corp., the bank...
