the recent high rates it probably reached three
hundred million dollars. That gives to banks out
side of New York largely increased power TO call
upon New York banks for currency, and makes the
responsibilities resting upon the New York nstitu-
tiOns materially greater.
In my opinion bankers will with increasing
clearness the desirability of being able to supply
currency in periods where increased circulation IS
needed, without being forced to ship the reserve
money which forms the foundation of the credit
structure With country banks placed in a posi-
ton where they demand currency shipments,
not only against their normal deposits IN the banks
but against this abnormal accumulation of their
funds in the call loan market, the responsibilities of
New York banks are largely added to without any
addition being made to their means of meeting the
responsibilities.
The foregoing considerations, it seems to me,
make it quite clear that any difficulties that have
face either in the direction of high interest rates
likely 10 be the result Of too small a supply of money.
but rather the consequence of an unecOnOmic use
OF the huge supply OF money which has been ac-
Cunulating in this country. Compared with the
supply of money which is the basis of the great
business and credit operations OF Great Britain, we
show great extravaganza IN the OF reserve
funds as do in expenditures.
There IS no other sort of education that would be
valuable to this country, education which VIII

we secure imports OF gold enough, so that banks cam
without restricting their credit, spare enough from
their reserves meet the increased demands tor CIR
cuation. it only follows naturally that when the IN
creased need for circulation passes the circulation re-
turns the banks forms reserve basis tor the grant
ing of additional credit and the banks again find
themselves when the next seasons currency demand
appears in a position where they must once more
ca loans in rider furnish the circulation needed
Ii banks could supply this need for additional CIR
Cuation by issues of bank notes that would be
perfectly safe the hands of every holder then the
seasonable demand for increased circulation could
be readily met On the other hand, when that
demand passes, such notes, if properly issued so as
not be counted reserve, would never come back
10 the bank vaults to form reserve basis tor the
granting of more credit but would disappear through
redemption the moment they had performed their
work as a hand to hand medium of circulation
\ recognition of this principle, believe, IS tunda-
mentally necessary in answering the question as TO
whether not we have money enough. 1t the fore
going statement of the principle is correct we never
shall have money enough, 50 long as bank reserves
must be invaded whenever the temporary need tor
increased circulation comes. With proper leg1sla-
ton permitting the safe issue of bank notes, thus
legalizng circulation which would automatically
retire when not in daily use, should probably
discover that already maintaining an un-
necessarily costly supply of money
The ultimate burden of supplying the huctuatng
demand for currency falls IN large measure upon
the banks at New York city, If gold Is exported,
it shipped from New York. If Government
receipts exceed expenditures, New York banks lose
