Federal Reserve Board Is
Target of Criticism
for Policy.
BY DEXTER M. KEEZER
Times STAFF CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-When
and where is a break coming in the
three-cornered contest being waged
among the Federal Reserve system
Wall Street, and the commercial in
terests Of the country?
This question is uppermoSt in the
minds of financial experts here to-
day, and it is crowding itself into
the attention of political leaders, be-
cause an early break in the contest
might have a profound effect on
the presidential campaign.
At present the reserve system is
holding it's ground with the tight
money policy which it inaugurated
in an effort to cut down the ire
mendous volume of credit being
used for New York speculation, and
in it's official statement for Sep
TENDER, just issued, gives no in
timation that this policy will be
changed.
Arrayed against 1t, however, is
an army of stock spectators, who
are attacking this tight money
policy as an unfair discrimination
against the stock market. Credit
resources Of the reserve system are
bountiful enough to warrant lower
rates for credit, they contend.
Claim Production Cut
And now business interests, de-
sirous of having cheap credit to
finance production, are contendine
that the tight money policy of the
reserve banks, although aimed to
curb use of credit for speculation
is retarding production and dis
tribution of essential commodities
The result is that the Federal Re-
serve Board is under fire from two
directions: "a From the specula-
tive army that wants cheaper
credit to finance stock market
betting, and Cd from business
groups that want cheaper credit
to finance production.
It was with a view of cutting
down the use of credit for stock
speculation in favor of production
that the reserve system embarked
on its tight money policy few
months ago, and raised its re-
discount rates from 312 to 5 pei
cent by three changes in quick
succession.

Other Pressure Used

Other forms of pressure also we're
used to squeeze credit out of the
stock market.
So far the reserve system barely
has been able to hold its own, and
has yet to drive brokers loans, used
to finance speculation, below four
billion dollars from their record
level of $4,563,000,000 on June 6,
representing an increase of more
than $1,0O0,000,O0O during the
previous year.
The latest figure for brokers' loans
by New York member banks of the
reserve system is $4,235, 100000.
