FEDERAL RESERVE PLANS

Designs Course TO Aid Commerce and Industry in Bringing
About Pre-War Equilibrium

that production is Immediately followed
bv distribution and avoidance OF waste :.
ful consumption. It emphasized that
boarding must not be practiced. or the
stimuant of production will avail
nothing.
These are the fundamental economic
processes upon which the proper func-
tioning Of the Federal Reserve banks
must Depend the report said. The
Federal Reserve system can do much
to assist these processes, but 1t cannot
Of itself alone compel them. Eficacious
action along these lines involves the
intelligent and earnest co operation OF
business and the community generally.
While the Federal Reserve Board
will always be mindful Of the inter.
dependence Of credit and industry and
the influence exerted or prices by the
general volume of credit. the board,
nevertheless, cannot assume to be al
as the guardian of the nations ultimate
banking reserve, is to see that the banks
under it's supervision function effec
lively and properly as reserve banks.
One Cause Of High Prices
The granting of extensive credits Ia
foreign trade and the resultant keer
competition in our own markets will,
the foreign buyer was charged by the
board as being ''one Of the potent
causes of high prices"
It was shown that the demand for
commodities from domestic, as well Ms
from foreign sources, was SO far In
excess of the supply that the increased
cost Of credit can be and is absorbed
in the price. Speculation, therefore,
has not been effectively checked by ad
vances in interest rates because of the
anticipated-and usually realized
large profits. according to the analysis
The board took occasion to restate
its opposition to the financing Of exports
which require long term credits through
banking operations, as distinguished
from appeals to the securities market.
Of Americas balance of trade for
the calendar years.. OF. .745 900

clared to have fallen as credit transac
tions on the commercial banks. Treas
ury advances during the year amounted
to 81. 757, $3.50, 900, but this was not
regarded as sufficient to Offset the cor
responding measure of expansion neces-
STATED by the carrying Of the credit
balance. All Of these credit arrange =
ments, it was asserted. indirectly re.
fected back to the Federal. Reserve
banks.
Although none Of the paper rendered
by the foreign buyers was discountable
at reserve banks because of legal re-
strictions, commercial banks, which
have received it, we're believed to have
turned in other obligations for redis-
counting which otherwise would not
have been sent through that channel.
