can Statute, Prevented a
Panic in 1914.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5-Presldent
Wilson is particularly fond of point
ing with pride" TO the creation OF the
FEDERAL reserve banking system un-
der his administration as an accom-
pliBhment which alone deserves the
continuation OF his party In power
for another four years.
y Whether, however. the reserve
system, as at present constituted and
administered under the influence OF
Secretary OF the Treasury McAdoo.
represents the material Improvement
upon the financial machinery OF the
country prior to 1914 TO which
American business was entitled, IL a
question upon which even Democrats
differ sharply.
Improvement In Sight.
About the only point upon which
there is general agreement Is that.
under present conditions. the federal
reserve system will prevent the re-
currence of a financial panic caused
by lack OF currency. But that much
was accomplished by the Aldrich
Vreeland act, passed by u Republican
Congress in 1908. for 1t was the Al
drich-Vreeland act which tided the
country over the financial disturb
ances in 1914 caused by the breaking
out Of the war in Europe.
The Democrats are telling the peo-
plo that the federal reserve system
prevented disaster in 1914. and even
President Wilson. speaking in ~
troit last July, said that those who
nnnnuaH ftn "a
that 1t saved the country from a ruin
GUS panic when the stress OF war
came on"
The fact is, however. that the fed
eral reserve banks did not open UNI
til November 16. 1914, more than
three months after the war broke
out and several weeks after the f.
nancial crisis has passed under the
influence OF the flow of currency
provided by the Aldrich- Vreeland
act. Secretary McAdoo himself says
that the federal reserve system
was at that time only in process Of
FORMATION and was. therefore, un-
able to render any service in the
situation"
No Real Trade Credit.
Many eminent critics OF the fed
'eral reserve legislation contend that
st Is fundamentally faulty because ii
failed to establish system of real
commercial credit such as exists in
Europe, and that 1t merely strength
ened the grip OF the banks on the
financial needs OF business. Tho
bankers content themselves with
saying that the system is move in
the right direction, though half
hearted one. Others complain that
the development OF the system has
been hampered by the political ac-
ttvlties of the treasury department.
The Democrats built the reserve
system upon the plan embodied in
the report OF the monetary commits
sion created by the Republicans in
1908, introducing such changes as
were deemed necessary to remove
the brand OF Republicanism. The
monetary commission proposed a
central bank and fifteen branches;
the Democrats provided u reserve
board and twelve banks.
Twelve Banks Opposed.
AS the bill passed the house it
called for the establishment Of
twelve federal reserve banks. So

McAdoo Saves His Power.
Wholly regardless Of tho needs Of
business for more funds or for loss
tho government won't on with It's
daily financial operations until, In
times Of Hsrious stress, the power
OF ending Il panic rested almost ox-
clnslvely with the secretary Of tho
treasury. He could give and he
could take away and he could do II
for personal or political reasons.
Secretary McAdoo apparently was
not pleased to have the independent
treasury system. and It's lob, abol-
ished. Accordingly one morning
there appeared new copy OF the
Senate bill in which the mandatory
provision directing the secretary or
the treasury to deposit government
funds with the reserve banks was
changed to give him discretionary
authority to do no.
This power he has used. In Sep
tember. 1915. he deposited in each

strong was the opposition to this
number of banks that in the Senate
the provision was made to read mo

II was not until January. 1916,

designated as fiscal agents of the

after the income tax payments had
been made. During the first two
weeks OF July the secretary OF the
treasury made heavy Withdrawals OF
funds from the reserve banks and
locked the money up In the sub
treasury vaults. thereby deDrlvlng

business.
So serious was the effect of the
Withdrawals that money rates stiffen-
ed and the Bank Of England was
obliged to raise its discount rate
from five per cent to elk per cent.

ness had adjusted itself to the new
situation. The secretary OF the
TREASURY can issue simple order
and lower interest rates just as n
this case he raised them.
McAdoO in Challenge.
Some time ago Secretary McAdoo
issued a sort OF general challenge to
anybody to point out the politics in
the federal reserve act or in its adj
miniBtration
The political manipulation Of the
federal reserve act began while the
bill was still under consideration in
Congress. AS the bill passed the
House 1t provided that the bond Sc
cured national bank currency be re-
tired and the bonds be refunded to
the end that the elasticity of the
proposed currency be made as eff
rectirc as possible. But the admin
istration could not bring itself to
curtailing the amount OF currency
In existence by any amount what.
ever. The Senate provided, and the
conference committee agreed, that
this bond secured currency should
he retired ut the rate OF $4,000. 900
per year through the purchase Of
bonds to that value by the federal
reserve banks But il also provided
that the federal reserve banks could
issue against the bonds so purchased
Il new form of currency to be known
as federal reserve bank notes.
See Political Manipulation.
Despite the enormous redundancy
OF the currency at this tima the fed
eral reserve bank OF Kansas City
has already issued n considerable
amount of these notes and they are
available for issue to the extent OF
$4,000, 600.
Critics of the administration called
this performance political manipula-
ton by the advocates of paper
money"
As the bill passed the House II
provided for the abolition OF the
Independent treasury of the United
States. II provided that the secre-
tary of the treasury must designate
the federal reserve banks as fiscal
agents Of the government and that
in these banks should be deposited
the general funds OF the treasury.
OF all the various influences which
contributed to cause and intensity
money panics in this country none
was more influential than the in
dependent treasury system under

Ricardo s. Soils, the American citizen

Soils said he was not held in Jail at
Victoria, but was detained in the city. He
was not informed of the nature of the
charges made against him, but was led
to believe after his talk with the authori-
ties that accusations which were palpa
bly, false were made against him by some
unknow person. lie said he was well treat
ed, both in Matamoros and Victoria and
was never placed in Jail.
