Caused Unnsesssary Hardships.
Augusta, Ca, July 16-Stubborn
refusal Of the Federal Reserve Board
to modify its rules and policies to
adapt them to changing condition,
and to sectional and seasonable de-
mands has caused unnecessary hard
ship and obstruction Of return to
healthy conditions, John Shelton Viii
liams, former comptroller of the cur
rency, declared here today in an ad-
dress before the Augusta Board $ Of
Commerce, the Georgia Press Asso-
citation and farmers Of the State.
The reserve board, he asserted,
"became by poor administration stiff
and inelastic, consequently oppres-
sive and injurious where il should
have been helpful and dangerously
Ienient where it should have been
repressive." -. -
Mr.. Williams declared the policies
of che board has resulted in cruel
cramping Of banks, small merchants
and farmers Of the country and ac-
tual stimulating of wild speculation
and destructive usury in New York. "
"The intent of the trainers Of the
great Federal Reserve Act" Mr.. Viii
liams continued, twas that the system
be governed and conducted on plain
common sense principles, applicable
to both the village and. small town
and the big town man. One of the
principal and most vital purposes
was to prevent congestion Of money
at the centers for use in gambling or
for exactions from gamblers when
funds are needed fer moving or car
rying crops or for development and
conduct Of productive enterprises. I
say that broad and noble purpose has
been hindered, perverted and in large
measure reversed by the majority of
tthe Federal Reserve Board to main
tain and enforce rules unnecessarily
hard, inhexible and unvarying."
