The Supreme Court’s recent decision allowing regional interstate banks has done away with one restriction in America’s banking operation, although many others still remain. Although the ruling does not apply to very large money-center banks, it is a move in a liberalizing direction that could in the end push Congress into framing a sensible legal and regulatory system that allows banks to plan their future beyond the next court case.
The restrictive laws that the courts are interpreting are mainly a legacy(遗赠物) of the bank failures of the 1930’s. The current high rate of bank failure--higher than at any time since the Great Depression--has made legislators ’afraid to remove the restrictions. While their legislative timidity is understandable, it is also mistaken. One reason so many American banks are getting into trouble is precisely that the old restrictions make it hard for them to build a domestic base large and strong enough to support their activities in today’s telecommunicating round-the-clock, around-the-world financial markets.
In trying to escape from these restrictions, banks are taking enormous, and what should be unnecessary, risks. For instance, would a large bank be buying small, failed savings banks at inflated prices if federal law and states regulations permitted that bank to explain instead through the acquisition of financially healthy banks in the region? Of coupe not. The solution is clear. American banks will be sounder when they are not geographically limited.
The house of Representative’s banking committee has shown part of the way forward by recommending common-sensible, though limited, legislation for a five-year transition to nationwide banking. This would give regional banks time to group together to form counterweights to the big moneycenter banks. Without this breathing space the big money-center banks might soon extend across the country to develop. But any such legislation should be regarded as only a way station on the road towards a complete examination of American’s suitable banking legislation. [br] The restrictive banking laws of the 130’s are still on the book because______.
选项
A、the bank failures of the 1930’s were caused by restrictive courts
B、banking has not changed during the past 50 years
C、legislators believe banking problems similar to those of the Depression still exist today
D、the banking system is too restrictive, but no alternatives have been suggested
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。第二段前两句指出:法庭目前所依据的限制法主要是30年代遗留下来的防止银行破产的法律。由于目前所显示的银行破产率高于30年代大萧条(the Great Depression)以后任何一个时代,立法者对废除该限制表示担心。而作者则认为这种担心是错误的。由此可知,立法者显然相信与大萧条时代相似的金融问题目前仍然存在。
