done may be easily placed by the pub
lie. The board insists that it is essen
tial to the functioning of any central
banking system that the banks of dis
count shall have complete control over
their rates. This control is regarded as
the most effective means of protecting
the gold reserves of the country against
Withdrawals for foreign account. For
instance, the discount rate of the Bank
of England is seven per cent and if
Americas was fixed ut ; per cent for
cigncrs would naturally seek to; discount
their bills here and gold would flow out
of the United States. Tile objections to
the fixing of any maximum or minimum
rate and the, necessity for keeping the
rates within the discretion of the federal
reserve system are these
/. If a maximum rate of discount
were fixed, the federal reserve banks
would find lit impossible to protect their
o. The federal s~reserve system would
in d short time cease being a reserve Sys-
TEN, and would become simply an instru-
meht of the speeding GqJt0f expansion.
3. A scramble for funds of the federal
reserve banks would eHSue and the re-
serve banks would have no alternative
except to lend their funds at rates be-
low the market rates until their re
serves had been exhausted. BankS would
be obliged to refuse to max further re
discounts no matter how meritorious the
claim and they would beacompelled to
start a waiting list until old loans had
been paid back and new funds obtained.
Only three StateS-IllihoiS. Louisiana
and Michigan-haye a legal rate of IN
terest as low as FIVE per cent and in each
state a higher rate is permissible. In
81 states the legal rate is six per cent
and in several states the legal rate is
seven per cent. while in six other states
and the District of Columbia the legal
rate is eight per cent, Ten states al
low a legal rate of 10, and 10 others per
NIT a contract rate Of - per cent.
Therefore, ii is argued by members of
the federal reserve board that if the dis
count rate were fixed at five per cent
| by law. there would be a temptation. in
deed a stimulus to member banks. to
eraI reserve by system because with the
money market at eight per cent there
would be a handsome profit of three per
cent available to member banks in re-
discount transactions. Where rates as
high as 10 or II per cent are permitted
by law. the profit would be even greater.
On the other hantl experience indicates
that lowering of discount rates to five
per cent would not. in the Judgment of
J the board. bring down the prevailing
market rates as the latter are fixed by
the laws of supply and demand. Should
the rediscount rate be fixed at five per
cent. it appears to be the federal reserve
boards view that the limit of credit ex-
( uanSion would be reached quickly and
that the - billions of dollars of govern
ment obligations availahle as collateral
would be exhausted. Then, it is feared
BY members of the board that n condition
Of depression much more widespread and

MARION. O.. Dec. 17.-Vice Presi-
dent-elect Coolidge was formally invited
yesterday by, presideptTelect Harding to
sit in the cabinet consultations and take
active part in shaping the policies of the

The invitation was extended at a con-
ference here at which at Mr.. Harding's
suggestion, the two talked over in detail
the question of cabinet appointments
and planned for an association of ma
tons and many other problems involved
in the assumption of executive authority
next March. \
Governor Coolidge indicated that he
would accept gladly such. responsibilities
as his chief might suggest and after the
conference both expressed warm g%ratifi
cation over the results of their talk. The
vice pr~esident-elect declared that he was
particularly pleased with the progress
made in the association of nations con-
f~ercnces here and predicted that Mr..
Harding would work out an agreement
behind which the American people cOg4l
stand united.
1t was not revealed what position Mr..
Coolidge took toward preservation of
the framework of the Versailles league
in the building of a new world peace
structure nor what new suggestions he
contributed to the advice gathered by the

WASHINGTON, Dee. 1.-THE fed
oral reserve board is unalterably opposed
to sthe measures pending in congress
which il any way attempt to limit the
power of The board or federal reserve
banks to regulate the rates of discount
which those banks may charge. Senator
Harris of Georgia has proposed that the
maximum rate of interest which fed
eral reserve banks could charge member
banks should be five per cent. 4 similar
proposal was knocked out of the Gronna-
Norris resolution the other day, but it
has been revived separately by the SEN
ator from Georgia.
The federal reserve board views with
alarm the attempts of some members of
congress to tinker with the credit ma
chinery of the country INT has not hesi-
tated. therefore, to express its views 50
explicitly that responsibility for damage
