First Year of System Called a
Success-Six Amendments
Up to Congress.

Washington, d. c., Feb. a. Six
amendments to the Federal Reserve act
were recommended to Congress to-day
in the report OF the Federal Reserve
Board for the first full year Of opera
tion Of the new banking system.
"A years experience in the operation
Of the Federal Reserve act" says the
report, "has confirmed the board in its
profound conviction that the act has
been one OF the most beneficial pieces
OF legislation ever adopted by Congress.
Not only have its fundamental prin-
ciples been fully vindicsted, but in
most details the working Of the meas
urc has been successful"
The amendments recommended would:
Permit national banks TO subscribe
ma hold stock in banks organized for
the special purpose Of doing banking
business in foreign countries.
Permit, with the approval Of the
board. the issue OF Federal Reserve
notes to Federal Reserve banks either
against the deposit of commercial paper
or gold, provided that the gold so de-
posited shall count as part OF the re-
quired reserve Of tho bank.
Extend the acceptance system TO the
domestic trade so far as it relates 70
documentary acceptances secured by
shipping documents or warehouse re-
ceipts, covering readily marketable
commodities. or against the pledge Of
goods actually sold.
Permit national banks to establish
branch Offices in the city or county in
which they arc located
Permit advances to member banks
against the secured promissory notes
OF the member banks or against the
deposit or pledge of United States gov
ernment bonds.
Authorize a wide discretion in the
making OF farm loans by national
banks, 50 that Federal Reserve bank
might make proper loans Of this kind
within radius Of 100 miles OF its place
Of business whether in its district or
another district.

volving international relationships of
the United States, either for the pur-
pose OF restricting or extending ex-
portatlons in one direction or another.
The eligibility of paper for reserve
banks is determined By consideration
which are as valid under one set OF
international relationships as another;
the function of passing upon and deal
ing IN such paper under these regula-
tions belongs TO the several Reserve
banks.
THE board, however. believes that
the financing of the countrys export
trade Is at the present time one of the
most important financial problems with
which the nation has to deal; and it
Is of the opinion that Federal Reserve
banks cannot, even if they would
avoid the responsibility Of assisting

Cannot Direct Foreign Loans.

The board announces that 10 does not
consider that If can direct the business
operation OF Federal Reserve banks in
respect! TO foreign loans, but that its
function is to oversee these banks. A
plea is made in tho report for the en-
trance into the system of more state
banks and trust companies.
As to foreign borrowing in the
United States, the board has reached
the conclusion, supported by legal ad-
vice, that the purpose for which goods
are sold or exported, or the use 70
which such goods are ultimately put"
does not fall within its province or
jurisdiction.
"lf," the report adds. "the transac-
tions which have given rise 10 such
sales or shipments are of true com
mercial nature. If the basis upon which
Trey rest Is such as to comply with the
requirements of the Federal Reserve
act, and # the maturity Of the loan

erably. The $4,000 over the amount of
the interest last year which wei con-
tinue to be paid can be applied on the

If such a bond issue is demanded and

spending $780, 900 the first year and the
additional 500, 600 the second year as

If the entire bond issue was sold at

at least four per cent for a year and
the amount derived would be applied
to paying the interest on the entire is
sue. If the bonds could be sold in tive
