Then they will ask for American

such an obligation would undoubted-

Of attempting to peg exchanges, but
it is believed that American gold at
times Is absolutely essential to help
the policy OF stabiliZation.
The British do not agree with
this view. They are inclined to be
a bit cocky and say II Is possible to
get on without America II she does
not chose to cooperate and take
the same risks as the banks here.
At the present time there is very
limited cooperation between the
central banks of Europe. Recently
there has been some extension or

Example OF Cooperation.
Take this concrete example as an
illustration of cooperation under
this plan of the financial section:
Saw the Rumania Central Bank
needs gold temporarily. All the
other European banks contribute in
proportion to their size to the loan
to the Rumanian bank. The di-
vision Of opinion in regard to the
American attitude in such a case
is this: The English hold that
America should participate in such
a loan taking the same risks as
the others. The other view Is that
all the central banks az group
should borrow from America. pledg-
ing their united credit. Under
such a scheme, American cooper
alton, it is felt, would be forthcom-
ing. The reply to the English view
Is this: The bankers or the neutral
nations are not impressed by the
English statement regarding Brltlsh
gold resources. The English bank.
ers believe they can bring the pound
sterling to parity and declare that
thew are furnished with sufficient
gold to at least perform useful
service to the entente of continental
banks.
Neutral Bankers Skeptical.
The neutral bankers said little or
nothing in reply to this at the confer
d1ce meeting, but privately they are
skeptical of the effort to bring the
pound sterling to parity and more
skeptical of it being kept there II
its parity be temporarily restored.
They believe it essential to work in
harmony with the American gold
policy and to draw on America con-
siderable gold credits II the scheme
OF cooperation is to be really ef-
fective. Seasoned European finan-
ciers think we play an amateurish

are making loans under conditions
that are not advantageous to us-in
some cases the loans are not help

bankers say America has loaned or

the last year. II other bankers had

am convinced that the best Eu-
ropean bankers, il placed in our po-
sitiun, would temporarily withhold
loans and would discourage the trans
fer of funds to make investments
here. They would reserve their
financial strength and use it later
more effectively for Europe and
more certainly for American prestige.
AS yet there has been no diplo.
matte approach toward holding the
conference of the central banks
in Washington. Perhaps the sug.
gestion has been made to the rep
resentatives of the Federal Reserve
system. The delegates here are not
clear about the powers OF the Fed.

an extension OF legislation would be
necessary II ii is brought in, on all
fOurs, to the European entente.
Personally, | believe there is need
of great caution in extending the
operation of the Federal Reserve
system. 1t was organized to hold
the reserves of the other banks,
not to take any risks, not to engage
in business on it's own account. If
real entente of the central banks
of Europe is formed and they pre-
sent their united credit for loans.
undoubtedly the American national
and State banks would respond. but
1t seems a dangerous course for the
Federal Reserve Bank.
Whether the German Russo lack
of tact ends this conference or not,
the financial section, at least, has
definitely lodged one program Of
action-the attempt to bring about
the cooperation OF the central
banks. 1t is doubtful If such a
coalition would approximate our
Federal Reserve system. If Europe
had a real recognition of economic
unity and was ready for team play,
the Federal Reserve Bank of the
United States of Europe would have
a beginning, but l do not think
Europe is ready. In fact, II is safe
to predict that such will not be the
next step although it may be the
ultimate step.

adopt a finding which, in the main
consists of the sound advice culled

ty-five Americans. including Will

number of other financiers, includ-
ing myself.
Nine months later the Amster-
dam memorial was presented to
seven governments. The United
States was cold to it. Today the
Amsterdam memorial is adopted by
experts because it sets forth the
best view there is among important
financiers of the methods to be
followed to affect economic recon

A charter of rights for woman
