PIONEER WORK TO BE

 BANKS COOPERATING
Will Give Encouragement to Private Enterprise in South America - Euro pean Methods Analysed

Washington, october 12.-The fed eral reserve board today announced that for the present it would not fa- vor establishment of joint agencies of federal reserve banks in Latin America with the possibility that reserve bank money would be locked up in long time loans subject to wide fluctuations of foreign exchange. Pioneer work in the Latin-American countries, the board decided, should be done by mem Der banks of the federal reserve sys- tenn and with this end in view it prom ised to support an amendment which would enable members to cooperate in owning and operating foreign banks
 Secretary McAdoo recently suggest ed establishment of joint agencies and the proposal was approved by Presi- dent Wilson. Today the secretary, ex- plaining that the plan he favored did not contemplate operations of the char acter objected to, joined in the action of the board in approving an unfa- vorable committee report.

 A statement by the board announc- ing it's decision said:
 The committee report reminded the board of the policy pursued for gen. erations by the large government banks of Europe which do not go into for eign fields except where they hold, as secondary reserves, foreign bills on the most important European countries where large discount markets exist and where the gold standard Is established beyond question: In those countries these government banks maintain cor respondents and the committee believes that, when normal conditions shah have been restored in Europe, Joint agencies or correspondents could be used to good advantage therg The committee also called attentieh to the fact that England, Germany And France have established independent banks or

branch banks of deposit banks in Latin American countries to do pio- neer work and that the United States should pursue the same course, inas- much as it Is necessary for banks go- ing into this field to have the widest possible range of activity in order to be able to compete with the local banks and the branches of the foreign banks alread established in these fields. Fed eral reserve banks being properly re- stricted to certain transactions and such as may not interfere with the ab- solute liquidity of their condition, could compete successfully in this respects whereas it should be their funct ons to do all in their power to assist American banks which enter the Latin American field.
 Assistance for American Banks
 "The contribution of the federal re- serve .Aahks in this development in Latin Apserica would primarily consist in pro- E1ding conditions so favorable for Ameri- can acceptances that the American banks willing to offer credit facilities there will be materially assisted in meet ing the European rates, which, at the present time and probably for sometime to come will compare unfavorably with the American discount rate.
 "Wherever the federal reserve banks can help in the development of Ameri- can banking by establishing direct con- nectons in. Latin-American countries for the purpose of facilitating discount opera tions of this kind, it will be, in the opinion of the committee, the proper func- ton of federal reserve banks to do so
 'The committee took the position that American banks entering this field ought to be permitted to develop the opportuns- ties first, but that, in trade centers where American banks are not established it might be proper for the federal reserve banks to appoint joint correspondents or agents in order to facilitate the develop ment of American acceptances in such places.
 The committee hopes to make it's final report early in November after recom- mendations shall have been received from the conference of governors of federal reserve banks which is to take place at Minneapolis on October 20, and the con ference of federal reserve agents which is to take place in Washington on No- vember A.
