The Reserve Boards Task

The Federal Reserve Board has
mapped out big program for 1920.
Here is how a banker views the Job
ahead of the Reserve authorities: "To
cut away the speculation in commodi
ties which is sapping the vitality OF
legitimate industry, TO get rid Of the
underbrush without damaging the forest
there is a job which may well test
the boards wisdom and courage II
it persists as it has begun, il viii have
to withstand not only the criticism o.
its adversaries, but the painful wounds
of its friends. 1t would be mistake
to suppose, as many do, that its only
instruments can be the discount rates
of the reserve banks. They must, it
is true, be the doubled fist that fol-
lows. if necessary the monitory finger.
or on rare occasions precedes il. But
in the long run the great weapon OF
the board will be its moral influence. IL
the country is once convinced that thu
board knows whit it is doing, and that
its decisions are informed by consciep
tious regard for the best interests Of
the whole country, it's wishes will only
have to be known to be fulfilled"

Low-Priccd Railroad Bonds

eve believe there is less risk in
these bonds than in any list of average
common industrial stocks, and such
stocks as a rule now yield only about
per cent Oh the market price. FUR
thermore, unless the bullish possibili-
ties in the stock market are much
larger than they now appear it il
quite possible that these bonds as q
class will rise more in points during
the next few months than common in
dustrials as q class. If by Athe time
the railroad bill becomes a law these
bonds have shown large rise or if
at any prior time they show such q rise
it would be the part of good trading
then to dispose of them. Under pres
