Par Collection Ruling
Doesn't Affect Policy
Georgia Banks Won Victory.
but Decision Did Not Be-
clare Plan Illegal

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Georgia
state banks have won an initial vic-
tory in their fight against the par
collection order OF the Federal Re-
serve Board, but a careful study of the
opinion of the Supreme Court yester-
day in their appeal shows that the
court did not go to the extent of de-
eiaring Illegal par collection by Re-
serve banks Of checks drawn upon
banks not members of the system as
was at first understood.
The Supreme Court specifically re-
yersed the ruling Of the Federal Dis
trict Court in Georgia, refusing an
injunction sought by the state banks
and dismissing their complaint as
wanting in equity The case now
goes back to the district court for
further proceedings.
The state banks had charged that
the Federal Reserve Bank had planned
definite campaign to force them
iuto the Federal Reserve system by
holding mp checks on those banks azd
collecting them in bulk instead Soe
sending them through the ordinary
channels for collection. The FeIcr@l
Reserve Bank denied that any Of the
acts alleged constituted an affenss
against Ine laws OF the United states
and set up as an additional defense
tive plea that par collection Of aEt
checks vas made compulsory upon 10
BY the Federal Reserve act.
Justice Holmes, who read the opin-
ion OF the Supreme Court, declared
that the lower court .sent too fai's
in dismissing the state banks ease
Governor Harding. of the Federal
Reserve Board, takes the view thas
the decision Of the court dees not AZ
feet the boards collection rolicv. Ha
announced last night that "par eoilens
tion' would continue from all instts
eutioRs on the 'tpar iistp Of the re-,
serve system.

Prospects for Grand Trunk Pacific

Ques%tOn-WiU you kindly advise me
what you think of stock OF the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, and II there are
any prospects of dividends in the future :?
$. f. 7.
Answer-There are two classes of
Grand Trunk Pacific stock, the or
oinary stock, or, as it is called in
the United States, the common stock,
all of which is held by the Grand
Trunk Railway Company of Canada,
and the debenture stock. The Grand
Trunk has been negotiating with the
Canadian government for the sale of
the Grand Trunk stock to the govern
ment. The Grand Trunk Professionally
guarantees interest on the Grand
Trunk Pacific's 6ebenture stock, but IS
not now earning sufficient to make up
the deficit on the Grand Trunk Pacific.
What will become of the debenture
stock will not be known until the terms
of the Grand Trunk Canadian govern
ment arrangement have been made
public. The Canadian government has
taken over the Grand Trunk Pacific
and operates it as part of the Ma
tional Railways. Presumably when
the Grand Trunk is taken over the
government will pay interest on the
Grand Trunk Pacific debenture stock.

better than some in my list? Your good
advice may help my vacation to be happy

Answer-We think that Wilson &
Co. first mortgage 6s might well be
exchanged for q Swiss s. In our opin-
ION fG@eign government bonds, espe-
cially those of country having as
high credit and as few pressing so
cial and industrial problems as
Switzerland, are attractive. Otherwise
your List appears to us to be strong,
conservative one. 1t would further
strengthen it to diversity it, as you
suggest, by the purchase of q good
public utility and we suggest the

safety. although the stock Will Yield quite
some more profit. I hsve little doubt OF
the stab,lity OF it's stock, yet bonds are
prior lfSns,-W. s. d.
AnswerWe agree with you that
the bonds are safer than the common
stock of the American Telephone ard
Telegraph. You probably have made
profit on your American Telephone and
Telegraph bonds The reason for this
is that since the bonds are convertible
into stock at los, as the price of the
stock approached this figure and then
passed it your bonds were quoted at q
higher market price because of the con-
version privilege. You can sell your
bonds at profit and buy another bond
with equal security which does not
have a conversion privilege at con-
siderably lower price than the market
price of the American Telephone and
Telegraph convertibles Since you do
not care to exercise the conversion
privilege, why not sell your bond and
get an equally safe one at lower prize
without the privilege For instance,
Northwestern Bell Telephone rs. The
Driver Harris Company bond is a first
mortgage on ali the fixed assets of the
company, the replacemenS, value Of the
properties being estimated at about
s. 100000 The issue is s1,250,0 600. Net

Answer-we fail to sec why you
should worry about your Anaconda
Copper per cent bond, due in 1880.
The bond was recently selling at about
$685. per $1,000 bond. However, you do
appear to worry over it, and we think
that safer investment with a lower
yield, such as the Northwestern Bell
Telephone rs, due 1941. recently selling
at about 90, would be we'll worth the
small loss that you are taking in max
ing che shift.
