use Of valve ropes and ballast, not by presenting
sudden and ruinous crash.
II recommended that, in emergency, securi-
ties other than government bonds and business
paper, for example warehouse receipts of corn,
wheat, cotton and merchandise, might become
necessary in order to prevent failures and avert
financial crisis (What Mr.. Williams was recon-
mending here was federal reserve bank loans ex-
tended against warehouse receipts or federal re-
serve bank currency issued on warehouse securi-
ties.) The majority of the members of the reserve
board opposed my recommendation and one of the
speakers in doing said in effect, with heartess-
ness which to me was incomprehensble, Let 'em
fall"
Upon another occasion, when certain policies were
being discussed in the federal reserve board which
were being opposed on the ground that they might
result in the failure of many state banks certain
member of the board said, in effect, that:
eff this plan the failure of the small
state banks, they need not stop it; in fact if we
can not get rid of the small state banks by any
other method, it might be as well to get rid of

them that way-that is to say, by their failure"
A large number of state banks did fail, in North
Dakota particularly, where it seems the federal
serve squeeze was the hardest, but great many
other small banks all over the nation have failed
also. The banks which have failed are not members
of the federal reserve board system. It is the fail
ure of such banks that meant by the member
of the board quoted above by Mr.. Williams.
Now let us return to Mr.. Williams second charge,
that while the squeeze being put on the banks
in the agricultural section, such squeeze was
operative against the New York district. Mr.. Will
liams says:
"In the latter part of 1914 while the European
war raging and world finances were in a deli
cate condition, three four members of the board
made determined effort to secure the closing up
of four of the IL federal banks, their efforts
to do so being finally defeated result of Secre-
tary McAdoo's appeal to President Wilson and the
effective action of the attorney general. think
it will surprise you to know that again in the early
part of this year the governor of the federal re-
serve board proposed at board meeting the discs
tablishment of the two reserve banks of the South
Atlanta and Dallas"
This is directly in line with charges made in
Henry Ford's paper, the Dearborn Independent,
which has been devoting series of articles to the
origin and processes of the federal reserve system
PAGE SIX
The nonpartisan leader., 1921-08-22

The charges made in Mr. Ford's paper and which
are well sustained by proof are:
1. The federal reserve banking system was de-
signed expressly for the purpose of centraizing
and monopolizing the control Of currency and credit
so that such control would be in the hands of the
super -fnanciers.
2. Mr.. Ford's paper charges that it was orig
inaly intended that there to be but federal
reserve bank. Public opinion, voiced by bankers
themselves forced change in the plan so that
when the law was passed by congress this law pro-
vlded for IL reserve banks. But according to Mr..
Fords paper, substantiated by testimony before
senate investigating committee, it was expected
that the New York branch would dominate the pol
icy of the federal reserve system The articles
above referred to appeared in the Dearborn Inde-
pendent, Mr. Ford's weekly, during June and July.

serve bank of New York was lending to one partic-
ular institution in that city more money-in in
stance more than twice as much-than the seven
federal reserve banks at st. Louis, Kansas City,
Minneapolis, Dallas, Richmond, Atlanta and San
Francisco were lending to all member banks both
national and state in any of those districts.
II pointed to one instance where the federal
serve bank of New York was lending to one institu
tion about $130 900, ,000-twice as much money
the federal reserve bank of Dallas was lending to
all the 1000 member banks in that great district,
embracing the state of Texas and parts of the states
of Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona.
1t was also shown that the New York reserve bank
was lending to that particular institution at
time an amount equal to nearly six times the total
capital of the federal reserve bank of New York.

LONDON. March 15.-The Paris
correspondent OF The Daily Teie-

large number OF recent accidents
the authorities have had to make
some attempt to render walking in
the principal thoroughfares less dan
gerous than at present.
NJ Raux. Prefect OF Police, has

sensational film which he imagines
will convey a useful lesson. This
film will figure in the program at the
principal picture theatres, and so
much interest has been taken in It
that requests have been made from
cinema pictures abroad.
II is a simple story. but contains
the necessary human interest that
the prefect OF Police has Imagined.
A wealthy manufacturer desires
husband for his daughter. who.
naturally, is very pretty. He makes
the announcement In his salon that
he will give her hand to the suitor
who takes her through Paris first in
a motor car and then on foot with
out meeting an accident or infring-
ing. the traffic rules
Suitors decide to accept the test
There is however. one exception. A
young man thinks It strange that the
girl should consent to marry the
best chauffeur and the best walker.
As the manufactures replies 20 this
objection a shadow passes over the
screen. He tells how his son re-
turned from the war wounded, and
with the Legion OF Honor and other
decorations.
One day he was knocked down by
a motor car and killed. The emo
ton produced by this story is accen-
tuated when he adds that his wife
died OF sorrow. Therefore. he goes
on 10 say he attaches great import
ance 10 traffic problems and has de-
cided 10 sacrifice his daughter on
the altar OF security for Parlsians
This explanation convinces the
suitors. and all determine to try their

who has not had time to qualify for
driving license. The heroine is evil
IDENTITY well disposed toward him, for
she promises 20 initiate him into the
mysteries OF driving a motor car.
This part Of the story is evidently
too much for one commentator on
the nlm. for he Is led to remark:
And It is the Prefect OF Police who
has written that" The rest OF the
story is soon told. The young savant
becomes a most skilful driver and
fulnils the test without an accident
OF any kind. And OF course he mar

Girl Scout Thrift Week.

Girl Scout Thrift Week begins to-
day. The name should not be taken
to mean that Girl Scouts are not
always thrifty; the ninth Of their
laws calls for economy. 1t is thrift
week with them because their ma
tional headquarters is calling upon
each of the 10000 Girl Scouts to
earn or save a dollar to contribute
to the organizations expenses for
the coming year.
The Girl Scouts realize that in
times like this there should be no
expansion programme calling for a
large outlay of money, and there is
no such programme. They wish
S110,000 not to pay debts-for they
have none-and not to undertake any
extraordinary plan but just to con.
tinue their good work in a conserva-
tive way. So Girl Scout Week cannot
be classed with those drives which
became things to be dreaded.
