BANKING TALK
Herbert S. Downs Explains
Federal Reserve System
Charter Night January so

Members of the Kiwanis Club to-
day listened to an excellent talk on
the workings of the federal reserve
system given by Herbert S. Downs,
of the New York Federal Reserve
Bank. The speaker explained in a
clear and simple n the manner
in which reserve gold is held in the
twelve federal reserve banks of the
country so that currency will be
availa BILE at a few hours notice in
case of an emergency. The present
system dQes away with the POSSIBLE
ity of a currency panic, he said. as
the s is always in the vault
and not used by the federal reserve
banks in investing in bonds. As the
federal reserve banks do not invest
the money sent to them by the vari-
Gus banks in their district. no inter
est is paid by the federal reserve
banks to the various banks which
send their currency 10 them for
safe-keeping and to be used when
wanted.
The talk was given in such a way
as to make what appeared to be a
complicated banking system easily
understood. Mr.. Downs told of the
toibhALiOilo BliOA ~ biit III u
the federal eserv system and en-
phasized the fact that the directors
of the federal reserve banks are both
business men and bankers repre-
senting the large, medium and small
6anks and men appointed by the ma
tional federal reserve board at Wash
ington.
Mr.. Downs was procured by Harry
Il. Comings, a local banker. Sidney
Riddlestorffer, another local banker,
was another guest at today's meet
ing.
1t has been decided to hold the
charter night dinner and dance on
night. January 80. The
various committees are now at work
preparing the program and enter
tafnment. The place for this big af-
fair has not yet been selected.

ter of a century been developing
some plan for such a court.
This is all there. is left" he de-
clared, "of all the high idealism, the
exalted purposes, and the noble
promises of international co-opera-
ton of which we heard SO much at
the close of the war. and I beg you
