RESERVE BOARD PUZZLED
Regulations for Admission Of State In
situations lis Problem-Finai
Action Deferred.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF regu-
lations for admission OF state banks
and trust companies to the federal re-
serve system has proved so difficult a
problem that the federal reserve board
practically has decided to take no final
action until 1t has discussed the mat
ter with representatives OF the insei-
tutions applying. A conference for
that purpose probably will be called
in the near future.
Applications of more than 100 state
banks and trust companies-among
them several large institutions-al-
ready are on file.
Definition Of how much state banks
should be allowed to lend on real es-
tate presents the chief difficulty. 1t
is desired that assets Of all member
banks remain fairly liquid, but a too
strict regulation might interfere with
banks which now have large amounts
loaned on real estate, but which have
their maturities SO arranged thai
loans constantly are falling due.
The board has suggested to severa.
banks that steps should be taken t
organize the federal advisory council
so that a meeting Of that body can bt
held here early next year. Severa
| banks have not yet chosen their mem
bers to the council.

ication follows:
along the greater part OF the front
the enemy manifested his activity,
particularly by an intermittent can
nonade. Nevertheless, there were
here and there some infantry attacks
all of which were repulsed. AS we
