FEDERAL RESERVE PLAN
IS OUTLINED BY HAML|N
Tells Chicago Real Estate Men It
Will Prevent Emergencies
From Arising.

CHICAGO, February 13.-"Cnder the
federal reserve system we shall see no
more financial panics," said Charles S.
Hamlin. governor of the federal reserve
board, at the annual banquet of the
Chicago Real Estate Board tonight.
although barely ten weeks have
elapsed since the opening of the twelve
federal reserve banks, much has been
accomplished in the way Of placing our
banking system on a firm foundation,
said Mr. Hamlin. He then reviewed
conditions which existed under the old
system and said that conditions just
prior to the opening of the federal re-
serve banks in November were proba-
bly, the most ominous in the history of
our country.
1.-THE establishment OF the federal
reserve system has been a potent cause
in our financial recovery" he added
''In the first place 1t established lower
reserve requirements, thus releasing an
enormous amount of cash as basis for
future credit operations. 1t mobilized
material proportion of the reserves
of the member banks in the federal re-
serve banks, thus furnishing fund
from which banks could be assisted in
rediscounting, commercial paper.
Elastic Note Issue.
AN elastic note issue was also pro-
vided for, rising and falling in re-
sponse to the needs of agriculture.
commerce and industry. Acceptances
in the import and export trade also
are permitted to be discounted by fed
eraI reserve banks and the member
banks for the first time were author
lied to accept bills drawn upon such
transactions.
Mr.. Hamlin said he did not snare the
fear of some persons that the federal
reserve banks would have difficulty in
earning their expenses and required
dividends. Discussing the true func-
ton of the new banks, he said:
They Prevent Emergencies.
Some claim that they are purely
emergency banks, while others seem to
feel that they are ordinary commercial
banks which should at all times COM
pete with the member banks. Neither
of these extremes, however, represents
the real function of the federal re-
serve banks.
Their duty is not alone to meet
emergencies, but, SO far as possible, to
prevent emergencies from arising, and
while ordinarily they do not and are
not intended to compete with CONNER
cial banks, yet occasions may arise
where such competition. through their
exercise of their open market powers,
will be necessary for the protection OF
the people of the United States

WOULD PLACE EMBARGO
ON WHEAT AND FLOUR
Representative Fairs Plan to Guar
antee Sufficient Supply for
Home Consumption.

A bill authorizing the President to
issue a provisional embargo upor
wheat and wheat flour was introduced
yesterday by Representative Farr OF
Pennsylvania. The bill would require
the President to have ascertained the
total wheat supply OH hand July
last the amount required for domestic
purposes and the amount already eX-
ported, estimated exports during the
current fiscal year. and that if there
is not enough to meet the average per
capita annual consumption for the past
ten years the President would proclaim
an embargo prohibiting exports.
Bill Is Discussed.
In speaking of the bill Representa-
tive Farr said:
"The actual exports of wheat, includ-
ing flour at five bushels to the barrel. fol
the six months ended December 81, 1914
was 1S1, ,650,523 bushels At the same
rate for the ensuing six months the total
will be 363,301 ,046 bushels. But mas
much as the exports for December. 1914
showed an increase of 100000 bushels
over November. 1914, it is more likely
that the increase will be progressive each
succeeding month than that exports OF
wheat will decrease or only equal the
average of $4,000. 900 bushels per month
as during the first six months CT the fis-
cal year.
''The total exports. therefore, are likely
to exceed 400,000,00O bushels. But con-
servatively estimating them as only equal
ing the average of the first six months,
they will be 3o5.000.000 bushels. The
total production for 1914 Fiscal year,
was S91 ,017 900 bushels. added to which,
according to the Wall Street Journal. was
100000 bushels on hand July 1, 1914
making a total of 9Ss.0OO,0OO bushels
The same authority estimates ss.O00.000
bushels as the amount required for seed
and 65.000,oO0 as stocks in second hands
July 1, 1915, or a total of 153,00O,O0O
bushels.
For Consumption and Export.
"Deducting this amount leaves S15,000,-
600 bushels for home consumption and for
export From this take $50, ,0oO, 900 bush
els for export, and there remain 100000
900 bushels for home consumption. From
this must come the Journals estimate of
100000 bushels for stocks in second
hands July l. 1915, leaving a net total
of only 395, ,O0O, 900 bushels for home con-
sumption. Upon the Journals estimated
basis of 5.25 bushels per capita for home
consumption. the 100. 100000 people in the
United States require 525, 10000 bushels
of wheat, whereas they will have only
395. 100000 bushels. or a shortage of 49,
100000 bushels, at the lowest possible
figures.
Even if the estimate Of an increase
of 100.000.000 bushels in production in
1915 is realized the shortage will be 5O,-
100000 bushels. with the European de-
mand continuing, and probably increas-
ing"
