Washington, Sept. 21.-After long
conference between the federal re-
serve board and a committee of bank
ers, 1t was finally agreed by the
board to approve the bankers pro-

gold fund to be used In meeting Amer

will be In addition to the $4,000, 900
to be raised by the New York bankers
syndicate TO meet New York city's OBJ
legations across the Atlantic.
No Final Action Taken.
Final action was not taken by the
board. The plan has been presented
In writing, but its adoption may not
come up before Tuesday in the alb
senee OF several members over the
weekend.
Probably $25,000,000 of the total
amount will be asked for at once and
members Of the board were confident
that such sum will prove sufficient to
meet all demands.
National banks throughout the coun-
try will be asked to subscribe to the
fund as in the original plan of the
bankers.
To BE Deposited In Canada.
The gold will be deposited in the
Ottawa branch of the Bank of Eng
land. In virtually all respects the pro-
posal OF the bankers agreed with those
made several weeks ago before the
New York syndicate which under
wrote the New York debts.
Members of the board and bankers
were agreed that while possibly only
a small part of the fund win be actu.
ally needed or transferred to foreign
creditors, the moral effect upon the
business world will be marked. They
were In accord that the world should
be given notice that the United States
is able and willing to pay it's obliga-
lions in gold. The effect. not only in
Europe, but in the United States, in
the opinion of those in conferences,
may be decidedly good and probably

short time.
About the only point of difference
between the bankers and the board
was as to how the banks shall be ask

bankers asked that the board appor-

Members of the board pointed out,
however, that it had no authority for
such action and merely could approve
the bankers plan. Ii was suggested
that the bankers themselves make the
apportionrnent, but the matter was
left undecided.
