is accepted the system can be put in
operation about October 1. The ac-
tual opening may be delayed but it
was said the II banks would be ready
to do business within the next six
weeks.
According to members Of the board
there was little hostility shown at tho
conference to early opening of the new
system. The conference was confined
| closely to the question of opening and
to a discussion of the foreign and do
mcstic exchange situation. Delegates
| furnished such information as they
possessed, but left the board without
much concrete knowledge as to the
exact situation throughout the coun-
ty. a committee was named to con-
slider foreign and domestic exchange
and formulate q plan by which Amer
lean obligations to Europe can be ad-
justed without taking gold out of the
country. In consequence of the meet
ing, there will be no effort on the part
Of the reserve board to name the Class
| "C' directors for the reserve banks
| for some time. Every other step
which must precede the opening OF
the banks will be laid out before the
| directors are announced.
