to note that in the Old Colony mag
azine of April, 1920, there was pub
Ilished an article by Governor Hard
ing of the Federal Reserve board en-
titled, "The Process of Defation," in
the course of which he said:
at would be recognized that credit
extended to Europe created de-
mand for commodities that competes
with the domestic demand, and this
competition is one of the potent
causes of high prices. The demand
for commodities from domestic as
we'll as foreign sources is so far in
excess of supply that the increased
cost of credit due to an advance in
rates is absorbed in the price, and
speculation anticipating large profits
is not checked by any reasonable ad-
vance in rates of interest"
Thus Governor Harding was ex-
pressing the same thought as that of
Secretary Houston in suggesting that
the demand from foreign sources for
our farm products is zone of the po-
tent causes Of high prices" and high
prices seem to have been to the Fed
eral Reserve board worse than a red
flag to a bull.
Further on Governor Harding said:
''It should, however, be repeated
that the time has come for the system
in the interest of commerce and bus
mess to exercise its power to regulate
and coutrol the credit situation
The conditions of business in the
country were such that Governor

a vicious instrument of initiation, but
it does mean that the thing is not
fool-proof and it has to be rightly
controlled If it is to function bene-
fcially. Political control is the last
thing it should be subject to, but this
is the thing it is most likely to be
subject to as the Federal Reserve
board is now composed.
Mr.. Vanderlip's Characterization Of
the Federal Reserve system as not
being fool-proof, and especially when
under political control such as he said
then existed, is an interesting side
light upon the management of the
Reserve board.

Harding wrote on them in the same
article as follows:
''The purchasing power Of the pub
lie growing out Of high wages and
large profits is greater than it has
ever been before, and this purchasing
power competing with export de-
mands arising out of the needs Of Eu-
rope, has raised prices to point that
takes no account Of prudence. = :: x
The expansion of credit set in motion
by the war must be checked. Credit
must be brought under effective con-
troll, and it's flow be once more regu-
lated and governed with careful re-
gard to the economic welfare Of the
country and the needs of producing
industries"
We wonder if Governor Harding
regards the present conditions as pre-
ferable to those which prevailed when
the purchasing power Of the public
was greater than ever before, and be-
fore he undertook the campaign
launched when he said that the time
had come for the Federal Reserve
system to exercise its power to reg
ulate and control te credit situation"
Mr.. F. A. Vanderlip in the same is
sue of the Old Colony magazine in
which Governor Harding's article ap-
peared, in urging a defation of cred
it, which of course has been in entire
harmony with the views of Wall
Street, said:
