Boston Dec. 14.-An explanation of
the Federal Reserve Boards recent
warning to American bankers against
locking up their money in foreign
, treasury bills was made in q speech
here tonight by w. z. G.. Harding,
governor of the board, who reiterated
the declaration that there was no in
tenton to reflect upon the credit of
any nation. Soon after the boards
statement appeared, short term Brit
ish treasury bills which had been Of
fered for sale in this country were
withdrawn.
IN my opinion" Mr.. Harding said.
what the board had in mind when it
made it's brief reference to investors
was simply this: American investors
have for many years been accustomed
to buying industrial securities-rail-
road obligations to u great extent. In
dealing with these securities certain
we'll established rules have been de-
veloped. The investor has acquired the
habit of requiring specific information
regarding gross earnings, fixed
charges. net earnings. sinking fund.
etc. and he insists upon knowing def
initely whether he is offered a first
AiOi lSdSC OOAu, AuCO1lC OOAOS PiCACAAS gu
stock Or common stock.
Issuing House Practice
1T is the practice Of every issuing
house when Offering securities to state all
necessary details either over it's own sig
nature or that of the head of the boI-
rowing corporation. Now here is the i'm
portance of authentic and complete infor-
nation more fully understood and appre-
ciated than in Europe. both in England
and on the Continent, and prospectuses
for foreign loans contain all the impor-
tant facts relating thereto in a statement
signed by an authorized representative of
the foreign government or by the issuing
house. or in some cases by both.
THE board sought merely to call atten-
ton to the fact that as this country has
become an important market for foreign
securities the same business like habits
which are well established regarding do
nestle loans should be developed in mar
keting foreign ilotatons.''
Mr.. Harding denied that the suffering
of call money rates in New York after
the statement was issued was due to the
boards action and said that any furry
at that time was confined entirely to
loans secured by stock exchange collat-
eral.
Discussing the inflow of gold into the
United States, he said the board did not
regard IT as a danger except 1.-The inflow
ing gold should remain until controlled
and be permitted to become the basis of
undesirable loan expansions and of infla-
ton.
Congress Opportunity
He showed the board had pointed out
that step toward control Of this gold
by the banks would be an act Of Con-
gress authorizing the final immediate
transfer Of lawful reserves of banks
