Is RESERVE. BOARD BOSS?

TIME activities of the Federal Re-
serve Board are causing some
comment these days, especially
among those who recall that the chief
complaint and criticism of the cur
rency plan worked out by the Aldrich
commission was that 1t provided for
too much Capitalization of financial
authority and power.
The law as finally passed was shorn
of some of this, but it is evident that
the reserve board holds that it pos
sesses sufficient powers of admonition.
at least, to admit of its talking a large
share in directing the general opera
tions of the banks which compose the
federal reserve system.
The British government planned to
make use of its treasury bills in this
country to finance some of its military
purchases and American bankers con-
templated accepting these obligations,
backed as they are by large gold re-
serves held for the purpose in Cana
da, in the same manner as IL they were
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-12-11

regulation bills of exchange drawn to
cover ordinary commercial transac-
tions.
The reserve board frowned upon
this plan and issued q circular warning
member banks from tying up their Ii
quid funds in such securities. The
board held that the funds of the men,
Der banks should be kept in fluid state
for the benefit of American enterprise
and that they should not be absorbed
in foreign treasury bills.
The obvious retort of the member
banks who contemplated such action
was that the operations of the Federal
Reserve Bank system in the large fin
ancial centers have not yet been of
such character as to demonstrate their
tremendous value to enterprising
Americans, and that the system-out-
side of the South-has caused very few
borrowers to procure accommodation
at any other place or at any lower
rate of interest than they did before
the law went into effect. In addition
many banks, especially in the smaller
communities, have seen no inconsider-
able percentage of their assets tied up
in their investment in the stock of the
regional reserve banks, from which
they have received practically no
benefit. They probably thought, in
addition, that the opinions of the re-
serve board have no binding author
ity.
On the face of 1t, trading in the
treasury bills of the British govern
ment looked to be safe and remuner-
ative. But the British government
promptly ended the discussion and the
agitation by withdrawing the bills
from the market; though the pro-
priety of the reserve boards action
and the manner in which its warning
was issued still remain the subject of
comment.

CHRISTMAS STAMPS

HTHEN you set aside your Christ
wv mas appropriation, Mr.. Harris
burger, when you make up your
gift list, Mrs. Harrisburger, and when
you figure out your selections for
relatives and Little Harrisburgers.
don't forget to include a certain
amount for Red Cross Christmas seals.
Within few weeks another cam
paign of Yuletide goodwill and good
cheer will have been closed and from
all indications previous records for
sales will be smashed to smithereens.
AS ever, the school children of the
city and neighboring communities are
coming to the fore as statesmen and
the possibilities are that the half
million mark-the number which DR..
c. r. Phillips and the general Red
Cross committee expect to sell-will
easily be reached before the dawn of
the Birthday.
For several years Harrisburg people
have responded generously to the call
for enlistments in the great nation
wide campaign; each year the sales
have been larger. AS the years go
by the educational end of the crusade
is being driven home more forcibly.
Harrisburg people realize pretty gen.
orally now that all but twelve and
a half per cent. of the proceeds go
toward the assistance of the local
sufferers of the dreadful white
Plague"-to provide trolley tickets to
and from the open-air schools, cloth
ing where necessary, carfare to Mont
Alto or to Cresson, clothing for the
less fortunate folks who must travel
the long way The balance goes to
the National Red Cross organization.
And as Harrisburg learns so Har-
risburg responds. That's why, in the
opinion of the general committee, half
a million Red Cross Christmas seals
will be sold in this city and surround
ing towns before the advent of 1917.
