consideration OF its report to Congress,

January 8, has decided on one important
change In the plan for a national re-
serve association, which 10 expected to
do away with some of the criticism,
that the institution would be subject to
the control Of powerful Eastern financial
interests.
This change provides for the designa-
ton, geographically. of the branch dis-
tricts into which the country il to be
divided, and each Of which is to have
equal representation on the directorate.
For instance. New England will be
tnade one district; there will be four
districts in the South including Mary
land; four in the Far West, and so on.
Congressman Vreeland, of New York,
who talked about the change today, said
1t would go far to silence the talk Of
Eastern interests controlling the reserve
association. At first, the commission
did not intend TO report bill, but Il
finally concluded this was advisable,
and now Is giving minute attention to
its details.
Mr.. Vreeland is much encouraged over
the successful working out of the plan.
