ages OF u and 20 will be asked to
give. The plan Of pledging win be
different from the raise the hand"
method used last year which caused
considerable trouble and which finally
resulted in dad and mother paving the
money in many cases. No boys or
girls will be asked to pledge them
selves publicly in school but will be
given pledge cards to take home. AT
ter talking the matter over with their
parents they may then put down the
amount which they feel that they can
give. The money is to be earned or
saved from money allowed them and
should represent real sacrifice on
their part.

serve Board is opposed to having the
federal reserve banks engage actively
in foreign exchange business at this
time, or to provide some other govern
mental mechanism for furnishing govern
ment exchange.
The board has had this matter up for
consideration for month, and has
taken the view that such steps are not
advisable.
Many merchants engaged in foreign
trade, importers and exporters. were very
anxious to have the reserve board under
take the handling of foreign exchange, to
avoid the difficulties now attending the
foreign trade situation.
Senator Owen recently introduced a bill
in the Senate for the creation of a foreign
exchange bank under the charge of the
reserve board.
The unsettled condition of the world at
this time may furnish the reason for the
board indifference. as embargoeS in force
make it next 20 impossible to stabilize
rates.

by the government crop received a
