BANKER DE-
FENDS RESERVE
POLICY
Strong Of New
York Federal Re-
serve Bank Ex-
plains Methods
of Wall Street

Washington. Aug. 8.-An expla-
nation Of banking and monetary
principles, which, he said, have
controlled the federal reserve sys-
tenn since it's inception was given
today before a congressional COM
mission by Governor Strong of the
New York reserve bank in defense
Of charges that in its operations it
has Disseminated against .agri-
cultural credit needs. Deliberate
imitation by lowered interest rates
with consequent increased prices
was resorted to during the war as
a military necessity, he said, but
defation and price drops in recent
months, he declared, was not fore
ed by the board but was inevitable
and world wide Higher interest
rates by the reserve system he de-
scribed as more or less incidental.
New York far from being favor
ed, Mr.. Strong asserted, had been
subjected Ito pressure by interest
rates to liuuidate greater than any
other part of the country. Al
though declaring the collapse OF
prices in 1920 was tbe most Sc
rious in modern tines he told the
commission that he considered the
business situation we'll embarked
now upon "a cycle Of recovery
and cited industrial resumption,
advancing prices of high grade Sc
curities and lower interest rates as
symptoms.
you cant very we'll administer
credit without some effect on
prices" Governor Strong said, but
the banking machinery was not
operated with eyes on chart OF
prices. to move them up or down.
..The reserve bank rates he
added. "are reflection of condl-
tions rather than an endeavor to
influence conditions and they are
an effect and not a cause
Discussing charges that high call
money rates in New York drew
money away from the interior,
Governor Strong said they were
rather an evidence that money had
first been withdrawn from New
York for use in the interior In
spite of 80 per cent. interest there
at periods of the stringency, he
said, 1.-The New York banks had to
be begged at times to make call
loans" In 1917, he added, "a
money committee had been set up
through the reserve bank to sup
ply stock exchange funds and TO
"prevent runaway money mar
ket." From his charts and d1a~
grams the witness gave the con-
clusion that the funds lent for stock
exchange purposes had been con-
sistently reduced since 1919. He
will continue his discussion tomor-
row
