Reserve Board Appointment
BY FREDERIC J. HAskrN

est. The Secretary is ex officio chair
man of the Federal Reserve Board
His influence was strong enough to
keep the discount rates down. He
exerted it because he knew that if
these rates were increased th inter
est rates the Government would have
to pay on bonds would have to be in.
creased also With low bank rates
business men, farmers and others
borrowed more money than they
would if rates had been high and
therefore circulation of paper cur
rency rose higher and higher and
the volume of the loans on the books
of the banks increased progressively
A Change of Policy
In the winter of 1919-20 Governor
Harding announced the emancipation
of the Board from the Treasury in
fluence saying that rates would be
regulated independently of the Treas
ury bond rate. Rates were increased
with the result that within two OF
three months $1,000, 100000 was
squeezed out of the stock market
This billion had been borrowed BY
stock market traders to speculate or
the Exchange. When their Interest
rates were raised they paid back the
money and reduced their operations
| This was the first effect of the new
policy The billion dollars was freed
to be lent to farmers and productive
| borrowers.
Next the Board .intimated to tbs
member banks that they should in
crease rates and reduce loans to prof
iteers in food and other essentials
| Especially was it desired that people
who had stored up food to hold fol
! higher prices and had borrowed mon
| ey to enable them TO make thissspec
ulation should be brought to terms
/ If these spectators in necessitie!
could borrow no more money the.
would have to sell their food at re
! duced prices. This resulted and i
constituted the first successful stel
taken by any governmental agenc.
| to reduce the cost of living
But the time had come for a reac
ton The japanese silk market col

ust with the "old hickory" aviation
and chemical foundation cases and
then to proceed with the other alien
property cases until the life of the
present grand jury expires in October.
Decide on Action
Determination to investigate all acts
of the alien property custodian's office
was said to have been. reached last
week, and after the presidents action
was taken ordering Custodian Miller
to proceed against the chemical foun-
dation for the return of the former
enemy owned patents.
This decision was said to have been
actuated by a desire on the part of
the administration to have "the only
qualified body"-a grand jury-pass on
the subject of alien property as the
best means of clearing up the situa-
ton which has been point Of attack
from congress, the press and public"
The grand jury investigation does
not mean, it was emphasized, that the
department of justice has been con-
vinced itself that fraud or criminality
has been disclosed. No indictments
will be asked of officials high in the
last administration or others unless
the grand jury is convinced that con
victions might reasonably be expected,
administration officials said.
Up to Grand Jury
The entire question was said to be
"up to the grand jury and officials
declared they hoped "for the sake OF
the country's honor" no occasion
would be found for any indictments
which might besmirch not only Off
cials of the last administration but
| the government itself.
It was also emphasized that It was
entirely possible acts of the alier
property custodian with reference tt
| former enemy property have gone be
yond the law without being necessarily
criminal, but rather mistaken iudg
ment concerning and in the stress o.
war time conditions.
| Return of the property to the pres
ent custodian it was said would as
sure protection of American interests
and those of the Germans as well.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July r. -
Bankers. business men and farmers
in all sections of the United States
are awaiting with almost breathless
impatience to learn whether or not
President Harding will reappoint w
P. G. Harding of Birmingham, Ala,
as a member of the Federal Reserve
Board. The reason for this interest
is that the act of reappointing Mr..
Harding, or failing to do so, will indi-
cate what the policy of the Federal
Reserve Board for the next few years
is likely to be.
1t is seldom that the appointment
of one official occupies such a key
position in relation TO broad nation
al policy. The reason is that Gov
ernor Harding stands for definite
credit policy and that factions which
are opposing his reappointment stands
for an opposite policy. Governor
Harding's term expires on August 10
and so far the President has declared
that he has not yet taken up the mat
ter. 1t is known that bankers and
business men have written him urg-
ing that he name Mr.. Harding and
that agricultural interests have writ
ten him opposing the reappointment OF
the Alabama banker
The issue is one of unlimited cur
rency issues and extensive credit for
farmers versus restricted currency
held absolutely to the gold standard
and restricted credits. The farmers
want the former and Governor Hard
ing stands for the latter
The events which brought the issue
before the American people are ia
miliar to most citizens but have been
presented under the color of the op
posing prejudices. There has been
bitterness between the factions which
on some occasions has led almost tc
blows on the floors of Congress and
In committee rooms.
The boom years of 1919-20 brought
about a tremendous expansion of cred

are regulated by the Federal Reserve
