is very clear to me that Peter has seen
something strange. You know the Old

other chance to have the last laugh
and say | told you So"
That is very true. replied Old Mr.
Toad, solemnly. Probably Peter has
seen something out of the ordinary and
in his excitement he has exaggerated IT,
The thing to do is to make sure whether
or not there is a stranger in the Green
Forest. Peter says that It came down

cupine lives. Some ought to go
ask him what he knows about II If
there is such terrible creature uIi

don't you go up there and ask him

Little Mrs Peter Rabbit knew this. and

same high standards which are re-
quired of the national banks.
Each federal reserve bank will have
the full place and prestige of a cen-
trail bank in its own region. 1t will
hold the reserves of the banks in its
territory. provide a discount market for
them toward conservative business
methods. To degree, it will be con-
trolled by the banks in it's member
ship. A majority of its directors are
elected by the member bank OF the
two thirds to be elected by the banks,
one-third are to be bankers and one
third are to be representative busi-
ness men of the region. The remaining
three directors are to be selected by
the federal reserve board
Upon the directors of each reserve
bank will devolve the duty of scrutiniz-
ing paper. passing upon individual
credit, and, in general. conducting. the
regular business of the bank. These
directors are to be men thoroughly IA
miliar with the banking and business
situation of their region. In a certain
sense, they will have an independent
sway for the promotion of the financial
welfare of their territory.
Upon the one hand will be twelve
trouble-tight divisions of the country,
each division responsible only for it's
own problems and progress and guild

other hand will be the federal reserve
board. supervising and co-ordinating
the whole system. and answerable not
to any one district or business class,
but to the people as whole. And the
powers of this board for the control of
the reserve system are of the broad
est.
In its provisions for the reserve
board, Congress has divorced that body
DOSgihia from
of the banks. Then. Congress has
placed in their hands tremendous pow
ers for the administration of the ma
tion's finances. The Importance of the
federal reserve board, as established
by the act. has been summed up by
two recognized authorities in the
statement that this group of men will
rank in power next to the Supreme
Court of the United States. The sue
cess of the new system will be largely
dependent upon the good fortune of
the country in obtaining the services

So Peter was obliged to repeat ever so

to him more foolish than before. He had

THE new BANKING LAW.
K.-0wnership and Con-
troll.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The most important question to be
determined by Congress in connection
with the establishment of the new re-
gional banks was that of ownership and
control. The question Of ownership was
resolved in favor of compulsory sub
scription of capital by the member
banks, to be supplemented. If necessary
by public, and, finally, by government
subscriptions. The problem of control
was solved by investing the bankers
with a certain authority in the man
agement of the system and by reserving
final authority to the government In
all likelihood the reserve banks will
be fully owned by the bankers and con-
trolled by the government
In both these instances the solutions
as developed in the new act were vigor-
ously opposed by the bankers in their
hearings before the Senate committee
on banking and currency. They con-
demned the provision for compelling the
national banks to join the system and
to put up the capital for the regional
banks, insisting that in place of COM
pulsion the bill should be made favora-
BILE enough to attract the voluntary
cooperation of the greater part of the
state well the national banks.
They opposed government control with
the demand that the bankers be given
representation on the federal reserve
board, reasoning that they should at
least have a minority word in the adj
Congress saw fit to retain both orig
inal provisions.

capital of the regional banks probably
was necessary for the success of the
new organization. If the matter had
been left voluntary, it is likely that a
conservative policy would have re-
strained enough banks from joining the
system to have insured its failure from
the beginning. 1t was of vital necessity
to the satisfactory working of the new
system that it should start with cap
ital of sufficient amount to make it
what it was intended to be--a central
reservoir of cash.
Srong arguments were advanced for
ownership by the general public. 1t is
becoming more and more the tendency
to take the small investor into partner

and municipal governments are offering
their securities in an ever increasing
scope directly to the people. Besides. it

More than fifteen years ago our
cousins in England started this attack,
and since then a systematic attack by in
nuendo. in apparently innocent dispatches,
has been continued to influence the feel
ings of the American people against Ger
many.
Nearly everything affecting the father
land has been misrepresented and the en-
peror's every move has been impugned.
For fifteen years the kaiser has not been
mentioned in English dispatches. and too
often in the American press, without a
slur and without being alluded to as the
war lord intimating that he was seeking
a fight with somebody.
'.It is not very likely that Germany was
itching for this war;" he said. Think
how she is surrounded on three sides by
giant enemies and then ask yourselves
how she could have invited this fight
In conclusion, DIR. Bruncl5en said the

broil the United States in the war now
