THE CALL FOR A JEWISH WORLD
CONGRESS.

Writing editOrially under the head
Of by Whose Authority" the New
York Day" on November 9th, said:
rs Jewish World Congress neces-
sary? The Day has more than once
come forward in behalf of the idea
Of Il Jewish world organization which
should embrace all countries and be
in position to speak in the name
Of the entire Jewish people. We have
more than once indicated that only II
Jewish World Congress would be in
position to solve maay of the Jew
ish problems, to seek the necessary
means Of protection for our brethren
in various countries and to create
methods of national self-help which
is so essential in this tragic moment
'0f our history. We have even pointed
cut that the question of Palestine and
its conversion into "a Jewish home
land, the problem of rebuilding the
Land of Israel and making it the
State of the Jewish people should
rightly also be left In the hands of
Jewish World Congress.
"All this, however. does not Justify
any single individual or group of in
divid,lals to issue call for such ::
Jewish assembly. This is great I'M
dertaking and large measures are re-
quired i'll order to effect it. When
one solitary individual makes the at
tempt, he gives the whole thing the
appearance of jest. And it is
tragic jest, for the attempt may do
harm to an important undertaking
and may place one of the most Sc
rious tendencies in Jewish life in an
absurd light.
THE whole thing is doubly absurd
because the one individual who has
takeE upon himself this great task
sent Invitations for conference, as
scmbIed q number of people gave
them an address and set final date
for the congress. Is himself mem
her of the Executive committee of the
American Jewish Congress. the only
institution today which should or
ganize world congress.
THE whole thing sounds like joke
and if not for its tragedy would call
forth considerable laughter.

First we ask our readers to peruse
carefully this call for a World Con-
gross of Jews. We knew what was
goi.Ig to happen years ago when the
American Jewish Congress was called
into being. We knew that lit would
lead to results undesirable to the Jew
ish people. Now we have this World
Congress Read carefully paragraphs
90 and 90. They are sufficient to
condemn the whole proposition. We
for one do not propose to follow Mr..
Abraham $. schooner in his danger
Gus chimcras. The only trouble is that
great many will follow his sugges-
lions and then we shall again have the
statements that all the Jews are in
this movement when nothing will he

plan which we contend is absolutely

Advantages of Federal Reserve Banks.

Address by James S. Alexander, presi-
dent. National Bank of Commerce in
New York, before the annual conven-
ton of American Manufacturers Ex-
port Association, Waldorf-Astoria. New
York, October IA, 1920:
Before the establishment of the fed
eral reserve system there was no great
organized unit in the nations banking
structure. 1t was merely a great coll
lection of banks impelled by about the
same motives, but not coordinated in
action. The structure was so funda-
mentally weak in this respect that the
! banks were not able to maintain A.
hroad-minded attitude toward business
IN the interest of the public welfare
when the expansion of prosperity had
brought a crisis. or possibly a panic. A
function of the banks is to make profits,
and in times of prosperity it was but
natural that they should compete for
all the business they could get and that
many of them in the heat of this compe-
tition should become Individually ex-
tended. AS this tendency progressed
there would come the realization that
banking and business conditions in the
co6Hhry were reaching a state OF eX-
panSion that demanded reimbursement.
CnorGanized as they We're, the banks
had to act as independent units. They

position-that is, by individually con-
serving their gold reserves and by con-
tracing their loans. Curtailment of &C.
commodation to business was impera-
tive. If conditions We're progressing
rapidly toward a serious state, abrupt
curtallinent was necessary. You must
remember that, before the organization
OF the federal reserve system, each bank
carried its own gold reserve and had no
sure means of shifting the burden of it's
loans when they became too heavy for
it to carry alone. Its only relief was in
reducing them. Clearing house associa-
tons constituted loose local declarations
that helped in a measure in emergencies,
they did not answer fundamental
needs. Unde UGH conditions, therefore,,
1t was often a case of self-preservation.
regardless of others or of the integrity
of the general business situation.
Under the federal reserve system, how
ever, this fundamental weakness in our
banking structure has been corrected.
The gold reserves of the country have.
in effect. been pooled for the benefit Of
all so that the total monetary gold stock
of the nation virtually underlies the
total credit structure. supporting it at
all points. Moreover, there are quick
acting means provided for the shifting
Of reserves. if emergency demands it, to
points where most needed.
