and members of the Committee Public Buildings had
adopted the slogan "A building for every Congress-
and every CongreUman for the Omnibus Public

that his committee must keep out of the Treasury this

that might high 100000, 600, five six
times large any similar passed,

If the Committee aims that high, anything near
that mark, it should take a great deal effort
to have Governor Bones recommendation $500 600

EARNING ASSETS OF FEDERAL RESERVE
BANKS.

Adequate means for utilizing surplus funds
Federal reserve banks in periods of inactive bus
neSs are provided under the present Act accordiI
to Dr. Oliver c. Iockhart of the National Bank
Commerce in New York. Writing in the Decemb
issue of the banks magazine, Commerce Monthly, Z
Lcckhart opposes unnecessary undesirable Il
numerous proposals which have been made to expaI
the scope CT their operations, and points out tn
their and investment policies being d
velOped to secure the greatest elasticity and stab
cation of financial movements.
In this connection, he said
Profit making is not the reason for the
existence of the Federal reserve system. It's
primary functions rather, TO
through partial Capitalization an effective
control OF reserves against day of need,
and to afford elastic system of currency
and credit Earnings incidental to the
exercise of these functions although they
essential to the continued existence of sys-
TEN whose ownership is private rather than
governmental. Expenses of operation and the
statutory dividend should be earned. The
sources of these earnings determined by
the provisions OF the Federal Reserve Act.
They fall into two main classes: the pur
chase discount of commercial paper Of
specified types, and investment in certain
government securities.
In the autumn of 1920, security invest
ments of Federal reserve banks ranged be-
tween and Is per cent of total earning
assets since the middle of February 1922.
they have ranged between 80 per cent and
81 per cent. of the total, and have averaged
"A per cent The great bulk of these in
vestments has properly consisted of short
term certificates of Indebtedness, which
peculiarly suited to the open market opera
tions of Federal reserve banks. The change
in the relative amount of investments has
accompanied the reduced activity of business
and the progressive liquidation of member
bank Indebtedness at reserve banks
Although reviving business activity will
doubt result in increased borrowing by
member banks, by and large the rediscoun-
ing facilities Of the reserve banks may be
expected to be availed of freely only in
periods of emergency or of seasonable strain.
In any event not until business has grown
far beyond its present proportions will
dfscounting under normal conditions give en-
ployment any such volume of funds
go used during 1920.
There is little reason for thinking that
purchases of bills in the open Market
authorized by Section IA of the Federal Re-
serve Act, will afford adequate employment
for surplus funds Such bills do
rule originate in large volume in periods of
slack demand fer banking accommodation
Moreover experience indicates that reserve
hank purchases in the main confined to
bankers acceptance issued in foreign trade
out of which, indeed, possibly three-fourths
of all American bank acce2tances arise The
great decline in the dollar value OF our for
eign trade has therefore restricted the vol
ume of bills available for purchase, while
