EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Federal Reserve Bank Rates. II.
ny GEORGE n. HUGHES.

The general banking policy under
the Federal Reserve system is. deter
mined by the Federal Reserve Board
This policy, however. is based on the
composite opinion of the members of
the Il regional banks, who are ex
pected to be in close touch with their
local conditions and to interpret these
to the central body. The conditions in
the industrial East may he entirely
different from those in the agricul-
tural West or South. and both at vari-
ance with those on the Pacific Coast.
and as the whole purpose of the Fed
eral Reserve act was TO mobilize the
banking reserves of the country and
employ them speedily when and
where most needed, il is necessary
also that there should be unity of
purpose and general agreement as TO
the policy that benefits the greatest
area and the largest number of indi-
viduals.
In their rate-making functions. the
Federal Reserve Banks are patterned
after the European banks Of issue. as
the Bank of England, the Bank of
France and the German Reichhank
However. due TO the much wider terri.
tory in which they operate and the
vastly different local conditions sur.
rounding them. they must have more
elasticity in their ratemaking policy
than their European models. The
discount rate of the Bank Of England
or that of the Bank of France affects
a comparatively few institutions.
whereas that of the Federal Reserve
Banks regulate the actions of thou
sands. There is no particular reason
why the rate in San Francisco, Dallas
or Minneapolis should be the same as
in New York as there may be an &C
tive demand for money in one Of these
sections and a moderate demand in
the others. Furthermore, the legal rate
Of interest varies greatly in different
States.
So far as possible, however, when
effort is being made to effect monetary
changes that will have a national
scope it is advisable to have the dis
count rates uniform. The opposing
points of view then will arise from a
discussion of what Is best for the
country as a whole. IT was on this
that the Chicago Reserve Bank gov
ernors split with some Of their asso-
ciates and with the Federal Reserve
Board at Washington.
