Reserve Boards
Policies Scored
J. S. WANAMAkER PROPOSES
SHAKEUP IN PERSONNEL,
RE-DISCOUNT CUT.

Federal Reserve board policies in
connection with price land currency
defation are 'cynical, cruel and in
excusable," and constitute financial
tyranny and commercial criminality,"
j. S. Wanamaker, president of the
American Cotton association, charged
last week before joint congressional
agricultural commission. The boards
methods, he added, are "heaping up
gold in the United States at the ex-
pense of all civilization"
Speaking, he said, for agricultural
producers, the witness asserted the
federal board and banks were re-
sponsible for the general price decline.
Would Revise Personnel.
The boards pressure still was being
exerted upon ''bankers who are afraid
of their shadow, who may find all
their loans called by the reserve banks
any minute, and dare not disobey it's
ORDERS" according to Mr.. Wanamak-
err, who asked the commission to re-
commend legislation for general revi-
sion of the reserve board personnel.
He proposed that the personnel be
composed of IL members, nominated
from the various districts as repre-
sentatives of industry instead Of bank
ing, who should be appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Sem
ate.
Further, he suggested that the COM
mission recommend the instant reduc-
ton in Federal Reserve re-discount
rates to basis of 3k per cent on
Liberty Loan collateral.
People Servants of System
"The Federal Reserve banking sys-
tenn, created to serve the people, by
it's administration, has made the peo-
pie servants of the system" he assert
ed. otis policy will require the Am
erican people to pay with Debated
dollars a national debt borrowed in in
f1ated dollars
Prices declines that have been eff
fected lately, he held, will not help
consumers, because "they have left
nothing for agricultural producers to
do but combine and reduce production
so low in the future that prices will
give us some margain of profit and let
US pay our debts"

Neao York Republicans
Silent ora Traction Bills
From a sta9 Correspondent

ALBANY, Jan. 31.--New York City
Republican members of the Legisla-
ture have adopted a policy of watchful
waiting toward Governor Miller's trac-
tion program. They are waiting for
the bills embodying the Governors
proposals for solving the situation to
be introduced before taking "a definite
attitude.
This change in front was noticeable
even among those members of the DEL
egation who last week were crying out
loudly against the Governors program
as an assault upon home rule and a
bid for an increased fare. The an
tagonism toward the Governors pro-
posal, his friends declare, was due to a
misunderstanding Of the message.
1t will be at least one week before
the bills amending the Public Service
Commissions act so as to carry out tue
recommendation Of the Governors
traction measure are introduced, and
until then the Republican members
from New York will not take any stand
on the proposition.
The Manhattan and Bronx Repub-
licans in both Senate and Assembly
tonight declined to join in conference
called for tomorrow by the BROOKLYN
members on the local traction situa-
tion. AS one of them explained it, they
do not want to do anything which may
be construed as an affront to the Gov
ernor.
1t can be said that the major portion
of the New York City Republicans will
vote against any measures which will
mean an increased fare, or which will
deprive the municipality of voice in
fixing fares.
