brisk BUSINESS
FOR Reserve BANKS
Secretary of the Treasury
Says First Days Work
Was Wonderful"
HAS FAITH IN
THE NEW SYSTEM
By The United Press.

Dg me Ouiltu EIcSS.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17-stamping
the first days operations of the Fed
eral Reserve system and its banks
as "wonderful," Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo stated today that It
would require at least a week to de-
termine necessary changes in the
routine. But he stated that, Judging
by the initial days operations alone.
it was certain that the new plan was
an even more efficient weapon against
finacial panic and upsets in the sys-
TEN Of national finances than had
been anticipated byt its trainers.
Secretary Willis. of the board, has
sent for reports from each bank on
their total first days rediscount
business and these figures were be-
ing compiled today. They will show
just what can be expected of this
branch of the work and those avail.
able today indicated that the busi-
ness was brisk everywhere. II is
estimated on the basis of preliminary
reports that the new system will
augment the cash in the banks of the
country within a week by at least
S150.00O,000.
The Federal Reserve Board is ex-
pected to deposit in the branch banks
the surplus cash Ct the treasury and
part at least of the government funds
now held in national banks. But
this action will be taken only after
careful consideration of the operation
of the new banks. It will all de-
pend on whether the report OF tn,
! first weeks operations show that tn,
reserve banks need more cash fol
/ their re-discount business than thel
! already have on band. Action o
this kind would furnish 70 the re
serve banks S100000.OOO direct from
the treasury and some S64,000.O0
from the national banks.

This age of selfshness and greed this age of dollar
