TURNING POINT IN
BUSINESS IS SEEN
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
MAKES OPTIMISTIC
STATEMENT

Washington Dec. 5.-The close of
the business year of 1920 is described
by the Federal Reserve Board in a
statement tonight as to tie turning
point in the transition from war pro-
duced conditions to the normal eco
nomic basis of international and in
dusturial life.
The reserve boards statement,
which reviews the economic and finan-
cial situation confronting the nation
during the year, treats of present con-
ditions generally in an optimistic
manner, declaring that the difficulty
of transition will not be much further
aggravated. 1t also asserts that
owing to the nations strong banking
structure a normal situation will be
restored with far less than the usual
distress usually attended on periods
of readjustment.
The board declared that previous
periods of marked readjustment have
been accompanied by sharp reductions
in prices, heavy decrease in produc-
ton, extensive unemployment and
business reaction, often involving
bank failures. While necessarily TN
comfortable, the transaction through
which the country is now passing the
board asserts, has thus far been at
tended with only a minimum of these
unfavorable symptoms.
Situation Uncertain
The fiscal situation both at home
and abroad, however, is still uncer-
tain, the board declares. This is held
to be due to the late date at which
the war was over in the financial
sense and to uncertainty as to the
best method of taxation.
In international trade return to
normal conditions is now in progress
the board says. With the exception
of agriculture in which the output
was the largest on record, produc-
ton has been decreasing since the
spring of the year, the board states.
Textiles, shipbuilding and very re-
Gently the iron and steel industries
are said to have exhibited tendencies
of this nature.
The board describes the tendency in
the retail trades as downward, the
lcssened activities occurring for the
most part considerably later than the
turning point in production.
The slowing down of the export
trade of the United States during the
year is attributed by the board in
some measure to the exchange stu
alton which it asserts has steadily
deteriorated. American exports seem
to be closely conditioned upon the
volume of imports, the board asserts
and warrant the inference that there
should be larger movement of goods
into the United States as result OF
the extensive credit granted foreign
countries.

HARDING and
BYRNES IN DISPUTE
CAROLINIAN QUESTIONS GOV
ERNOR REGARDING CREDIT
FOR FARMERS

The Congressional joint committee
hearing on the agricultural situation
in Washington Friday, developed into
q dispute at times quite heated, be-
tween Governor Harding of the Fed
eral Reserve Board and members of
Congress.
"Mr. Chairman, wat is the purpose
of this hearing" Governor Harding
finally demanded, while he questioned
Representative, Bynes, Democrat, of
South Carolina. "Is the Federal Re-
serveBoard on trial; am cn trial
here?" he continued, declaring he has
been target for call kinds of abuse
Representative Byrnes said he
meant no reflection on Governor
Harding.
Circulars issued by the regional re-
serve bank of Richmond, Va, to men,
Der banks, and which Mr.. Byrnes was
attempting to show had resulted in
rigid restriction of farmers credits,
were under discussion. Governor
Harding said such circulars were not
submitted to the board until printed
when they were looked over and at
tention of the issuing regional banks
called to anything the board deemed
unwise
The board, he added, was not a
central bank.
Senator-elect Heflin, Alabama, ask
ed Governor Harding if the law
makers could issue statement to the
public as understanding his testimony
to be that the reserve board was
favorable to banks extending all the
credit possible to farmers.
"The Federal Reserve Board pre-
fers to issue it's own statement"
Governor Harding replied.
Approving efforts of the Richmond
bank to restrict loans for non-essen
tial purposes in 1919, Governor Hard
ing said:
81 know some banks in South Caro-
lima had been earring large loans on
cotton, since 1917, in the face of an
active market"
Holding such cotton theny he added,
on reserve bank funds was "plainly
speculative"
Secretary Houston, who preceded
Governor Harding, strongly opposed
projects to revive war france corpo-
ration for purpose of financing sales
abroad of surplus farm products.
Present price declines We're due to
readjustments following the wa:, ne
said, and he saw no solution for the
problem although the treasury de-
partment had voted more thought to
this than to any other subject for the
last two months.
Answering the charge OF profiteer-
ing on the part of the reserve banks
Governor Harding. said they had earn
ed So per cent on their capital stock
of S10O,OOO,O00 and the reserve
balances of the banks amounting to
81 800, 100000.
Doubt that exports could be in
creased unless some way was found
for increasing Europe's buying power
and ability to furnish requisite Sc
curities was expressed by Secretary
Houston. He did not see, he added
how much relief could be expected at
this time in that way. He had no
doubt, Mr.. Houston said, that the war
finance corporation would function"
should Congress recreate it, but ne
added:
"I believe it would be against the
y,ub1ic interest"
