Relevant Comment
War Stamps Not Discountable


The deputy governor Of one Of
the Federal Reserve banks recently
wrote to the Federal Reserve Board at
Washington asking whether notes,
drafts or bills of exchange secured by
war savings stamps could be redis-
counted with the reserve bank, the
proceeds of such notes being used to
purchase or carry war savings stamps.
The counsel of the Reserve Board ruled
in the negative. 1t was pointed out
that ain the first place the notes,
drafts or bills of exchange cannot be
considered as arising out of actual
commercial transactions" prime
requisite of a rediscount under the
law. Nor can they be treated as notes
or bonds of the United States.
Not Bankable Security
"1n view of this condition." the opin
ion reads, "the certificate Itself, which
is the evidence of the governments liza
bility, could hardly be treated az a
bankable security for loans. This be-
is, in effect, a receipt for payment on
account of non-negotiablc evidence of
indebtedness, could not, in the opinion
of this Office, be classified as bond or
note of the United States, and notes,
drafts, or bills of exchange secured by
such war savings stamps, or the pro-
ceeds of which have been used to pur-
chase, carry, or trade in such stamps,
should not be treated as eligible for
rediscount by a Federal Reserve bank"
Stockholders Take Half Telephone Issue
With official announcement concern
ing the amount of the S44,500,00O

of the American Telephone & Tele-
graph Company taken by stockholders

figures will probably show little less
than half thus accounted for This
means that the underwriting syndicate,
headed by J. P. Morgan & Co., will of

Bankers Approve Chicago's Action
New York bankers expressed graft
fcation yesterday over the action taken
by the Chicago Clearing House in
terest rates on bank deposits similar to
those recommended by the New York
Clearing House Association. The rates
in effect here since March affect all
bank deposits, and are based on the
prevailing Federal Reserve Bank dis
count rate for ninety-d day paper.
Earlier in the year Western bankers ex-
pressed regret over the action of the
New York Clearing House with regard
to the rates on out-of-town balances.
their argument being that the sliding
scale would not bring about an auto
matte reduction when money rates
broke. New York bankers declared
yesterday that had no action been taken
here by the Clearing House Associa-
ton the money market might easily by
this time have reached a chaotic CON
dition.
