These facts" the report says,
would seem TO indicate that it IS
prudent to be prepared for a time
when the reserve resources of the
country will be subjected to se'ere
test. and when the leadership and op-
erations of the federal reserve banks
will become correspondingly more in
huenual."
The discount policy Of the BOARD
during the past year is declared to
have been the proper one under the
existing circumstances but it is point
ed out that as time goes on there Will
be disposition to make these rates
as nearly equal in all parts of the
country as is possible. The reserve
banks have not been greatly encour
aged to indulge in such commercial
banking operations as the law per

cause thereby the danger Of imitation
might have been increased and money
rates further Depressed. More active
participation in such transactions by
the reserve banks may be expected
in the future
The board, the report announces, is
considering the establishment OF
branch agencies of reserve banks IL
cities other than those where suct
banks are located and for the pres

establishment of branch reserve

they are not only rather readily es-

have changed. The older moralists
occupied themselves with the diff
