London Is Expected
To Fix z Per Cent
Bank Rate To-day
Increase of Treasury Bills
Forecasts Action to Bal
anceInhation; Some Bank
ers Oppose the Step Now

LONDON, April 14.-Announcement
by the Bank of England to-day that
the rate of interest on Treasury bills
had been raised l. per cent to 61s per
cent foreshadows the announcement to-
morrow of per cent bank rate.
The expected advance in the bank
rate has been advocated by economists
tor some time, but banking opinion
against it prevailed, and money in
ftation continued, making for artificial
conditions. The reserve of the Bank
of England last week showed a loss
OF gold and an expansion in note cir
culation, and this imitation of credit
now necessitates measures to balance
the situation, taking the shape of the
higher official minimum rate which
the market confidently expects to-
morrow.
While per cent rate would un-
doubtedly handicap trade, it is recos-
nized that the authorities must take
cognizance of the international none
tary situation. Some bankers, how
ever, are unable to see the necessity
for a higher rate now, speculative
loans having been virtually closed.
1t is not anticipated that an ad-
vanced rate would affect shipments of
gold to America, which will continue
for exchange purposes

Increase of u. S. Reserve
Discount Rate Is Urged

The Federal Reserve discount rate
must be further increased to meet
the credit situation in the United
States, according to Z. w. Kemmerer,
professor of economics and finance at
princeton University, in an article in
the current issue Of "The Journal of
the American Bankers Association"
Our discount rate must go up still
further" Professor Kemmerer argues,
"and stay up for some time if we are
to have that credit and currency con-
traction that is necessary in order to
reduce the price level sufficiently to
stabilize our credit situation and to
make our bank reserves adequate for
the loads they are to carry
"Rediscounts by Federal Reserve
banks should be granted less freely
in the future, and with increasing dis
elimination against banks which are
using. their own funds extensively in
speculative activities, and against
banks that have borrowed from the
Federal Reserve banks abnormally
large amounts in proportion to their
reserve requirements. To an increas-
Ing degree the Federal Reserve banks
should discriminate against loans col
iateraled by the government debt and
IN favor of short-time, self-lquidating
commercial and produce paper Cau-
tiously but firmly the Federal Reserve
banks should be made more liquid.
have their reserve strengthened, and
should return to the sound ideals that
guided the founders of the Federal
reserve system in drafting the act Of
1913. Such a policy will unfortunate-
~ work some hardship, but this is
one Of the prices we must pay for our
much desired reduction in the cost Of
living, and for the stabiizing of our
credit situation. The Federal Reserve
authorities are acting wisely in push
ing up the discount rate at this time
and the banking community should
support them in strong discount
policy"
