In explanation of it's increase in dis
count rates the board said that this
had been the traditional method of
credit control. Its use, however, pre-
supposes normal conditions, and these,
it was pointed out, do not all exist at
this time While a high reserve bank
rate was shown to act as restraining
influence upon borrowings, it may OPP
crate as well to attract supplies of
credit from other centers. It is this
condition, among others, that was said
by the board to make imperative the
use of it's power in controlling credit
and starting def1ation.
In setting forces to work to check ex-
pansion. the board declared much de-

The granting of extensive credits to

competition in our own markets with

Washington, Feb. 24.-Determina-

signed to aid commerce and industry
in restoring prewar equilibrium-was

With this as it's announced peace

Recommendations also were made TO
congress for amendment of the reserve
act which would permit reserve banks,
with approval of the federal reserve
board to establish normal maxi
mum lines of credit accommodation for
member banks. An ascending scale of
rates would be provided in event
money was borrowed above the maxi
mum line. This, the board believed,
would induce banks to hold their own
large borrowers in check and thus
work to the end that credit expansion
on large scale would be stopped.
Warning was given that the country
must guard against too rapid deflation.
While the board was in entire sym
pathy with measures to overcome this
evil, it pointed out that remedies en-
