Board Recommends Changes
to Congress in Making First
Full Years Report.
EXPERIENCE IN OPERATION
SHOWS LAW SUCCESSFUL
Plea Made for Entrance Into System
of All State Banks and
Trust Companies.

Six amendments to the federal reserve
act were recommended to Congress today
in the report of the federal reserve board
for the first full year Of operation of the
new banking system.
"A years experience in the operation
Of the federal reserve act" says the re-
port. has confirmed the board in its
profound conviction that the act has been
one Of the most beneficial pieces Of legis-
lation ever adopted by Congress. Not only
have its fundamental principles been fully
vindicated, but in most details the work
ing Of the measure has been successful
The amendments recommended would
Permit national banks to subscribe and
hold stock in banks organized for the
special purpose Of doing banking BUSH
ness In foreign countries.
Permit, with the approval Of the board,
the issue of federal reserve notes to fed
eral reserve banks either against the de-
posit OF commercial paper or gold. pro-
vided that the gold SO deposited shall
count as part of the required reserve Of
the bank
Extend the acceptance system to the
domestic trade so far as it relates to
documentary acceptances secured by ship
ping documents or warehouse receipts,
covering readily marketable commodities
or against the pledge of goods actually
sold.
Permit national banks to establish
branch Offices within the city or county
in which they are located.
Permit advances to member banks
against the member banks secured
promissory notes or against the deposit
or pledge of United States government
bonds
Authorize a wide discretion in the
making of farm loans by national
banks so that federal reserve bank
might make proper loans of this kind
within radius of one hundred miles of
its place of business, whether in it's
district or another district.
1T is believed" says the report, that
the enactment of these amendments

aged to indulge in such commercial
banking operations as the law permits
open market operations, as the act
terms them-the board says, because
thereby the danger of imitation might
have been increased and money rates
further depressed. More active partici-
patton in such transactions by reserve
banks may be expected in the future.
The board, the report announces. is
considering the adjustment of branch
agencies of the reserve banks in cities
other than those where such banks are
located, and for the present does not
expect to approve the establishment of
branch reserve banks. The clearing
operations of the banks. it says, have
proved a success. but too few of the
banks have taken advantage of this
function.

AGREE AS TO CHRISTIAN
WORK IN LATIN AMERICA
Delegates to Congress Attend
Churches In Observation-Disclosures
standings Cleared Up.

PANAMA, February 1.-THE dele
gates to the congress on Christian work
in Latin America attended devotional
services yesterday in the various
churches in Panama and Colon and in
the Young Mems Christian Association
branches in the canal towns. Addresses
were delivered to soldiers at their
camps. The session today will be taken
up with discussion of reports.
It is believed there is no longer any
danger of a disagreement, harmony
having been brought about by the eff
forts of some of the leading delegates.
A misunderstanding had arisen over
various features of the reports to be
presented. It was found that certain
words and phrases were not understood
clearly by the Latin American dele
gates, owing to the lack of thorough
knowledge of English. in which the re-
ports are written. In particular. the
, report dealing with the scope of flu
ture work in Latin America was mis-
interpreted. A number of private con-
ferences were held, at which the bear
ing Of these reports on Catholicism was
made clear to the Latin American dele
gates, with the result that complete
understanding was reached.

Charles Melville Brown Of Baltimore

fore the House committee on Interstate

for ten years, and his land was taken
by the government for canal purposes
Mr.. Brown is quoted as saying that
the joint land commission is not
obliged to make awards for lands thus
taken by the prices prevailing in 1903.
THE injustice of such claim says
Mr.. Brown, "is apparent on its face, and
ex-Attorney General McReynolds has
ruled that such is not the spirit or
meaning of the treaty. Land values in
Panama have naturally increased

know of instances where landowners
of the Canal Zone can today sell their
property for more than the Canal Zone
officials are willing to pay. but they are
not allowed to sell the land since it
has been taken for canal purposes.
Gen. Goethals should remember that
if the United States had not COM
menced the construction of the inter-
oceanic canal at Panama there were
other governments that would. This
is not merely a supposition; today the

what did they say when you told

"She just looked at me and said:

covered:
"The U. c. had not found out from
the county doctor what allied Ray

she is?" asked the reporter. "Oh, my,
no." said Miss Mcclure. 1--WE could
not do that. We would have to pay
the two months back rent and the
court costs in addition. We would
let them be evicted, as we say, and
then put the wife and children into
two rooms"
An idle thought about the policy Of
the U. C.. toward landlords crossed
the persistent reporters brain, but
the charity of the United Charities is
past comprehension, so the point
wasn't raised.
