ACTION IS EXPLAINED

Action of the Federal Reserve Board
in issuing simpler" new regulations
concerning the eligibility Of bankers
actions. which has been interpreted as
offering increased opportunity for
Americas foreign trade, was explained
by the Board in a letter Of transmittal
to bankers, made public yesterday as
intended merely to allow greater lati-
tude to federal reserve banks for the
exercise. each in it's own way, of their
discretion and judgment. observing al
ways, of course. the express and i'm
piled limitation OF the law
Experience of the banks in dealing
with increased business in accep-
tances during the war was pointed
to by the board as guiding the banks
where the former detailed regula-
tions are no longer necessary
Moreover. it is believed" said the
board. that the general advancement
of foreign trade, with the resulting
benefit to the agricultural and com
mercial interests, which are largely
dependent upon foreign markets, can
be furthered most effectually at the
present time by the substitution of
this simpler regulation applicable to
acceptances in export and import
The part of the new regulation
concerning eligibility OF bankers ac-
ceptances in export and import trans
actions was announced as follows:
"A federal reserve bank may redis-
count any such bill bearing the in
dorsement of a member bank and
having a maturity at time OF discount
of not more than three months, ex-
elusive Of days of grace. which has
been drawn under credit opened
for the purpose of conducting or set
thing accounts resulting from a trans
action or transactions involving any
one of the following:
"(l) The shipment of goods be-
tween the United States and any for
eiEn country, or between the United

the recovery of Germany will be very
sonn settled. Nobody talks of war.
There are no longer soldiers In masses
to be seen in the streets. Everybody
is peaceful and Industrious.
"As the prices are high the people
live very cheaply-1 mean on very
little food-and spend very little for
their amusement. l feel sorry for the
little children and for older people
who are past work.
'sYou would be amazed to see how
many old people go from street to
street every morning to seek old rags
and papers in the cans which the
residents put on the edge OF the foot
paths to be taken away by carts.

not through their ability to direct

Russia's new leaders have real
lied too late the utter fallacy of
their theories of industrial man
agement. Like landlubbers who
turn pirate on the high seas. they
seized the ship and threw the

They are likely to find, as pirates
would under similar circumstances
that they will not only fail to OPP
crate the ship themselves. but they
will soon lose the confidence of
the seamen and will themselves
meet the fate they decreed for
their betters.

II may be readily conceded that
in Russia at the time of Lenine's
advent, conditions were not per-
feet. That is true everywhere and
will be true as long as human be-
ings remain less than divine in
their attributes. But IL is also
true that no one man, like Lenine,
also partaking of the frailties of
human nature, can arbitrarily
. overthrow established principles
and customs and erect a different
set ,of principles and customs for
the arbitrary regulation of the po-
ltical. industrial and social affairs

That Is What Lenine and his as
sociates endeavored to do. They
accepted their own ideas az su-

from barbarism to civilization, and
they sought to force those ideas
