ing that he had been misquoted regard
ing his remarks on Wednesday.
Mr.. Rayner said he had been quoted as
saying that bank reserves could be drawn
upon TO move the crops. and that This
had been misinterpreted The banks could
under the law, draw on their reserves to
pay depositors who were demanding their
money, he said. and there was nothing to
prevent the depositor after receiving his
money. from using it To move his crops
The Senator quoted the law relating to
bank reserves to sustain his position that
when the bank had exhausted it's other
resources. il could and must pay deposit
tors out Of its reserves. but could not use
the reserves to make loans or discount
paper.
In Emergency, Says AIdrich.
Senator AldUieh agreed with Mr.. Ray
