MINNEAPOLIS Blink UPHELD
IMPLIED REBUkE FOR TREASUR-
Err BURKE IN STATEMENT.
Federal Reserve Board Declares Re-
novai of Ninth District Not
Considered

Washington, Sept 30.--An implied
rebuke for United States Treasurer
Burke for what apparently was an eff
fort on his part to take hand in the
affairs of the federal reserve system
was contained in a statement issued
by the federal reserve board.
Treasurer Burke in a letter to a
North Dakota editor had criticised the
management of the Minneapolis re-
serve bank for its rediscount policy as
affecting the paper of North Dakota
farmers. The treasurer ended his crit
icism with the statement that the pun
ishment for the reserve banks alleged
failure to measure up to it's response
5ilities might be the abandonment of
the Ninth district. He indicated that
the federal reserve board had under
consideration a plan for attaching the
Ninth district to the Chicago district,
and making the Minneapolis reserve
bank a branch of the Chicago institu-
ton.
Statement Issued by Board.
Burke's official position in the treas
ury department and the manner in
which he worded his letter created
the impression that he spoke with
knowledge of what had been going on
at the meeting of the federal reserve
board.
The board issued a statement in
tended to correct the impression
which had resulted from newspaper
reports of the Burke letter. Here
is the boards statement:
''The federal reserve board author
lied the statement that no question of
removing or in any way altering the
status of the federal reserve bank of
Minneapolis or of the federal reserve
district in which the bank is situated,
has been before the board or has been
considered by it in any way what
ever"
