experience is absolutely essential to

that they will see to It that every

Reserve Board and that the Board
shah be constituted IN a majority or

There should be diversity o. in

that the majority OF the Board should
ever be constituted Of other than
men thoroughly trained by practical
experience in financial management
is to me utterly unthinkable and II
practiced will in the end lead 70
complete disintegration Of the
strength Of the System. II not to a
worse conclusion
We do not select bankers for our
