system should be free from political in
huence, which is quite as important as its
independence Of domination by financial
combinations
THE council does not deem it its
function. or this the appropriate oppor-
tunity to refute the utterly false charges
that have been made regarding the adj
ministration and operation OF the sys-
TEN. The council feels it it's duty, how
ever. to point to the great danger to
which the country Is being exposed when
the people. puzzled and harassed by the
inevitable vexations of the wars after
niath. are melted by the wilful misstate-
ments OF unscrupulous or ambitious
demagogues.
"A consistent campaign has been car
ried on in order TO make the farmers
believe that they are suffering because
the Federal Reserve system sucked up
the peoples gold and. having corraled
1t, is Withholding II in order to make II
available to Wall Street and to exact
high interest rates. 1t is significant that
the agitators should have been able to
maintain this myth in the face OF the
fact that New York banks have reduced
their borrowings from the Federal Re.
serve system by 70 per cent. (from a
maximum of S1.203,364. 900 to 1861. $751;
00o) more than banks of any other part
OF the country. In any event, our past
experiences have shown that easy money
rates do not necessarily bring relief to
agricultural distress. any more than
high rates are responsible for it. II
may be interesting to recall that pres
sure for easy money in times adverse to
the farmer Is not a novel occurrence.
Similar pressure was also brought upon
The Federal Reserve Board shortly after
the Federal Reserve system began to
operate. when, in spite of the fact that
the country was swamped with easy
money due to the release Of reserve
money which had just taken place,
there was a most determined political
pressure in order to force the Reserve
banks to reduce rates and to flood the
country with loans on top of the al
ready existing plethora of money. If
the Federal Reserve Board had not
withstood this pressure, il Is safe to say
that the Federal Reserve system would
have squandered its strength before the
subsequent demands occasioned by the
war began, and il is not difficult to con-
ceive the consequences that might have
followed for the country and, indeed.
for the successful prosecution of the
war
''As to the accumulation of gold,
against which some are carrying on so
determined propaganda, it gives us an
unused loaning power of many billions
of dollars available for our country and
the world when the world gets ready to
use it. When that time comes nobody
will profit more from this vast reserve
power than the farmer.

Lays Down Two Principles.

THE council therefore. finally wishes
TO stress with all the emphasis of which
II is capable two principles:
IL The Federal Reserve System must
be kept inviolate as a reserve system; it's
assets must remain safe and liquid. II
must therefore. always restrict its In
vestinents to those having a reasonably
short maturity and 1t must not be per-
mitted 10 deal with customers direct and
thereby incur the risk of immobiliZing it's
funds in credits that conceivably may
become frozen Whatever relief Fed
eral Reserve banks may furnish must,
therefore, be granted through the inter-
meoiary and under the responsibility of
banking channels. If the existing coun-
try banking machinery is inadequate in
certain sections II ought to be strength
ened and supplemented. but tSere should
always be buffer between the Dor.
rover and the Federal Reserve Bank.
1t is as such that Federal land banks.
as above recommended, may be devel-
oped to render a distinct national ser
vice.
2. The independence of the Federal
Reserve Board must be strengthened and
protected. and every effort made to Sc
cure for service on it men of the highest
integrity. intelligence and strength The
board. like a court of supreme standing.
must be able to act from an entirely
judicial point of view uninfluenced by
the wishes of parties or classes. but
seeking to fashion it's policies with the
sole aim of serving the best advantage
OF the country as whole. If political
pressure or the interests of a single
classic 1t the farmer, laborer. big in
dustry or capital-are ever permitted to
dominate the Federal Reserve System. It
will become the gravest menace to the
future Of the United States. If the Fed

political domination. history will repeat
itself and from the great blessing that
this system is to-day it will turn into

Explains Loan System.

1T is most unfortunate that appar-
emily the public does not understand
even to-day. after the Federal Reserve
System, has been in existence for more
than seven years. that the Federal Re-
serve Board. as such, does not make
any loans. and has no money to lend ;
that all extensions of Federal Reserve
credit are carried out exclusively by
the Federal reserve banks, and that
they, in turn, are restricted to transac-
tions with their own member banks and
have no power whatsoever to direct
member banks as to what individual
customers they should make loans.
1T also has been generally stated that
the Federal Reserve banks curtailed
credit to the farmer in the autumn Of
1920. whereas exactly the reverse is true
The loans of the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn reached their highest point in No
vember, 1920. at which time the reserve
banks in industrial sections were lend
ing to reserve banks in agricultural Sec
tions $267 ,000.0 The testimony before
the Joint Commission Of Agricultural
Inquiry showed that between May 4.
1920 and April 2S 1921. the loans of the
Federal Reserve system to member
banks in non-agrcultural counties de-
creased 2s.5 per cent. and those to
member banks in semi-agricultural
counties decreased 0.2 per cent. while
loans to member banks in agricultural
counties actually increased $50 per cent.
During the same period the loans by the
900 member banks to their own GUS
toners decreased sss2. 100000 Ninety
four per cent. of this decrease took
place in the loans made by banks sit

war period that gold had not been ac-
cumulated and enabled the Federal Re-
serve banks to supply s1.700, 100000 of
additional currency and the banks of
the country $4,000. 100000 of additional
loans is serious question. at least for
those who believe that IL is not sound
finance TO meet the expenditures of our
Government by the Bolshevists' method
of printing an unlimited supply of paper
currency without any consideration Of
the gold cover.
1T is these grave questions that have
impelled the council not to disregard the
move involved in the Senate's bill. in
significant as it may appear, and not to
disregard the attacks against the Fed
eral Reserve System. no matter how i'll
founded they may be.
