tary OF the Treasury, In case Of severe nnanciaI
strain TO notify banks that they will be proceeded
against il they do protect the business inter-
ests OF the country by encroaching upon their re-
serve. That Is exactly what the reserve is for.
This has been done in only one instance. and that
q very severe case. Some criticism from
those who desired critictse, but no lawyer ever
doubted the authority. and no prominent business
man ever doubted the necessity. IN thae particular
case.
In my opinion, It would be both wise and safe to
cothe the Secretary OF the Treasury with authority
70 require banks 10 increase their at GER
tain times, when money is redundant and ex-
pressly 70 permit the maintenance OF a somewhat
lower reserve at other times Money IL frequently

encouraged by low rates Of interest-somstimes be-
much money is employed which Is subsequently,
needed to meet the demands incident TO fall and
winter commerce.
Co-operatlon among banks cannot be secured ex-
cept by the direction OF some one man. One bank
ing institution will deprive itself OF legitimate
profits while making provision for the future
which VIII inure to the benefit OF all alike. II this
additional authority were granted the reserve OF
the country could be increased In midsummer from
$50 900 10 s100 900 without affecting business
IN auv way and IN the fall and winter the ordinary
reserve could be decreased. and in this way very
marked element OF elasticity would be provided.
I am not unnnindful Of the fact that the public
hesfates 10 grant extraordinary authority but the
pubIic holds the head OF the Treasury Department
largely responsible for business conditions This
being true and Justly true. 1t Is only fair that he
be given ample authority and enlarged discretion
