RICH ANSWERS
BURKE E'SFEDERAL
BANK. ATTACK
No Grain Paper Offered for Dis
count at Minneapolis
Institution
READY TO ASSIST
MEMBER BANKS
Charges United States Treasurer
Shows Ignorance Of
Situation

John H. Rich, chairman and federal
reserve agent, has just issued state
ment answering the recent structures
of United States Treasurer John
Burke.
His statement follows:
United States Treasurer Burke's
criticisms of the Ninth Federal Re-
serve bank are without foundation OF
fact and convey entirely unwarranted
Impressions. They arise from an i'm
perfect knowledge of the regulations
of the Federal Reserve board and of
the course taken by this bank to
make such regulations OF practical ef-
feet in serving the member banks of
the Ninth district. His complaints
are that rates have not been estab-
lished for the rediscOunt of farmers
paper with elevator receipts as col
lateral, that this bank has lacked ag-
gressiveness in serving it's district,
that it's methods are involved and sub
ject to too much red tape and that
this bank has shown favOritism to
the great grain interests at terminal
markets. Of these criticisms the first
and the last alone are worthy of re
ply. The absurdity of any charge Of
red tape or failure to accommodate
North Dakota member banks to the
fullest extent would have been reveal
ed to Mr.. Burke, had he first inquired
of banks in his home state.
Unfairness Of Criticism.
"The unfairness Of these criticisms
was called to Mr.. Burke's attention by
letter after his first exploitation of
the subject early in the month. In
reply, he voiced nc specific complaint
and cited no specific instances OF
failure to adequately serve North Da.
kOta member banks. Mr.. Burke does
not need to be told that any we'll
founded criticisms, backed by facts,
that are presented either to the off.
GERS of this bank, or to the Federal
board in Washington, will have i'm.
mediate attention. These criticisms
have not been so presented, but have
been given to the newspaper press.
Commodity Paper.
"The commodity paper rgulation
of the Federal Reser board of Sept.
3, specifically excluded from redis-
count all such paper made in the
Northwest with the exception of "ter-
minal grain paper made exclusively
b. strong terminal elevator concerns
at Minneapolis and Duluth. Mr..
BurEes criticism is that under this
regulation, this bank has not accepted
North Dakota farmers paper with ele-
,vator receipts attached. North Da-
kota has no terminal elevators. Ele-
vatOr receipts are not terminal re-
ceipts. To correct this difficulty, the
executive committee of this bank low
cred the rate on 9O.day paper from 5
percent to Az percent and admitted
North Dakota elevator receipts as COL

Danish all the airs fairy Lillians Of our
fancy and sympathize with the con-
temporaneous samson. But since the
contralto cannot help being a large
woman. We can at least award her
warm praise for her beautiful singing
Of most OF the music. As she has four
ifths Of the best music in the opera
this is important.
Much comment followed the death
of Theodore Leschetitzky. Most OF II
a evoked by the incontestable fact
that Mr.. Paderewski had been his
pupil. But years X Leschetitzky said
that the Polish pianist was not n
preacher Of his gospel, and MIR. Pad
erewski has repeatedly confessed that
this vas true. 1t was unnecessary for
either OF them to speak Of the matter.
He who had ears could hear.
without entering into technicalities
let us summarize by saying that the
true Leschetitzks' touch IL hard, that
it produces a CLASSY. brittle toni from
the piano. MIR. P~aderewskis technic
was always characterized by a touch
OF precisely the opposite character. a
touch which carried the singing tone
into the most difficult and rapid pas
sages. In these same places the young
pianist fresh from the Leschetitzky
studio always made one think Of the
tinkling Of Ice in n goblet Of water.
In spite of all this Leschetitzky was
q great teacher, for he equipped his
pupils with facile mechanics and n
keen appreciation OF the value of
rhythm. The students who were only
pianists and not potential lone poets
became accomplished ~manipulators Of
the keyboard. Those who were musi-
cal became genuine virtuosi. Those
who were one poets-well. n OF
