THE FEDERAL RESERVE
BOARDS STAND.
MORGAN & CO. ARE NOTIFIED
Declare Project Was Designed to
Facilitate Credit Transactions and
Prevent Heavy Drains of Gold After
War.

New York, Dec. 4.-The firm of j. r.
Morgan & Co. has withdrawn the pro-
posed sale of S500O0OO0 of British and
French treasury bills, according to In
strlctions received from abroad.
The announcement was contained In
the following statement:
I'VE have been instructed by the
British and French governments to
withdraw their treasury bills from sale.
We have accordingly expressed to
those institutions and investors which
had already placed orders with us for
these securities to wish to be released
from the obligations to deliver and
they have been good enough to accede.
This action is because, as explained
by the British chancellor of the ex-
chequer and by the French minister OF
finance these governments desire to
show every regard to the federal re-
serve board, a governmental body OF
which the secretary of the treasury
and the comptroller of currency are
ex-ofiicio members.
I'VE may add that the sale in lin
tied amount of these treasury bills pay
able In dollars In New York has never
been an essential part of the allied gov
ernments' financial plans, but have for
some time been under consideration
with a view to furnishing a credit
medium that fould accommodate the
American banking demands for an In
strument of short maturity and of such
limited volume that the government
could always undertake to lay down
gold In New York sufficient to meet the
matured bills.
1T was believed further that these
bills would have furnished at the end
of the war an excellent measure of pro-
lection to the American financial situa-
ton inasmuch rs these steadily matur-
ing obligations Of the foreign govern
ments would have tended to prevent
heavy drafts Of gold from this mar
ket"
An informal statement was made by
Il member of the Morgan house that no
other financial plans have been formu-
lated in place of the ones abandoned.
