MOTIVES OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE

To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In "The Outlook" Of January there
was short article referring to the action
taken by the Federal Reserve Board in the
last week of November, touching the short
term treasury notes offered for sale in the
United States by the French and British gov
ernments. 1t is suggested that these gov
ernments are inclined to believe that such
action indicated some intent unfriendly, es-
pecially to themselves. There are also dis
cussions in the daily press as to the results
Of such action. Whether the action was wise
or unwse is not so much dwelt upon as Is
the question whether il was prompted oy
some motive. intent or bias which might
seem unfriendly to these governments.
or banking and high finance | know moth
ing. and the longer one lives and the more
one reads the stronger becomes the convic-
ton that It is much wiser not to express
opinions on matter one does not under
stand. Therefore, it may be assumed that IN
the instructions or advice which the board
gave to the banks about liquid assets it ex-
ercised the judgment which the statute con-
fded to il fairly according 10 its convictions
That others may not concur in such judg-
ment will not warrant the conclusion that 1t
evidenced any unfriendly motive
But the November deliyerance OF the board
went further. 1t did not merely convey us
instructions or advice confdentially to the
banks; it published them broadcast, and IN
the concluding words OF its dellverance the
private investor was practically cautioned not
TO loan money 20 a foreign government unless
he had some security additional to its credit
The statute which created 1t did not make
this board the adviser Of the private investor
Whether he might put his savings III New
York State bond or in Rainbows common was
no concern of theirs. One may naturally
surmise with what intent they thus went be-
vond their statutory functions. The real IN
tent with which any individual takes any &C
ton is locked up within his own breast; out
courts have generally accepted rules whleh
they apply TO ascertain that intent. One OF
these is that il is presumed that every one
intends the natural and obvious result OF ms
own action Surely the natural result OF TINS
caution TO the private investor would be that
soroe. at least, Of them would hesitate TO buy
the securities Of such foreign governments
ms were al the time offering them for sale
That such result was obvious to person OF
ordinary intelligence is apparent. There
fore. IL must be presumed that the result
was intended. Therefore, also, when upon
reading the statute we discover that the
junction Of advising the private investor was
not therein confded to the Federal Reserve
Roard have we not sidelght upon the mo-
tive or intent with which its deliverance was
published? +. HENRI hAOo"nr''

Citizenship and City Employees

The law and common sense travel to-
gether-as is not always the case--in the
decision of the Appellate Division, I'd De
partment. upholding Justice Kelly in di-
recting the Health Department TO dismiss a
supervising nurse who happens to be an
alien. The Board of Aldermen few
years ago adopted an ordinance forbidding
the employment in any city department or
bureau Of any person not citizen OF this
country and bona fde resident Of this
state.
1t happens that the nurse in question,
appointed from the civil service lists, was
both a citizen of Germany and resident
of Jersey City. Therefore, when taxpay-
er's suit was brought to Gust her on the
ground that she had been improperly ap-
pointed, Justice Kelly upheld the conten-
ton. The gst of the opinion was the dec
laration: 1.-The requirement is so obviously
proper that the city shall not be conducted
by persons obligated to a foreign state or
nation that it would seem inherently
governmental right to declare qualifica-
tons"
This decision is likely to cause some dis
turbance among the city's employees. 1t is
unlikely that there are many-if any
others who are not citizens Of this coun-
try. But there are many who, for cheaper
living or because they prefer small COM
munities, live in New Jersey and Connect
cut. They argue that it does not interfere
with their service to their employer, the
city, and probably it does not, in the sense
in which they mean.
However, there is larger question Of
policy-the propriety of being citizen of
another state while drawing pay from this
city-which the Appellate Division has an
swered admirably 1t is within the right
of the authorities of New York to require
that city employees shall be citizens of this
state, if not actually residents of this city.
That they have done, and under the cir
cumstances the least the employees can do,
if they desire to remain employees, is to
comply with the law.
