were under study when the board
went into session today.
Board To Be Cautious
There is every reason to believe
that if the market recedes, resulting
in a reduction in the volume of
bank credit going into speculation.
the board will act to ease money
for the benefit of spring expansions
in commerce, industry and agri"
culture.
The leasing up" move would
take the form of reduction in re-
discount rates, heavy purchase of
: Government securities in the open
market, or a combination Of both.
No easy money policy will be
adopted, however, until market
tendencies are carefully studied, and
Mntil brokers loans are far under
the record set up last Thursday Of
$5.793, 100000.
If the board is able to drive bank
credit out of the market by a cam"
paign Of psychology and appeal for
cooperation by the member banks,

wholesome fear into the hearts of
spectators and can hold this weapon

Difficult To Control
With this situation established, the
board might be in position to
create an easier money market with
out the danger Of another unprece'
dented demand for speculative cash.
Experiences Of the past, however,
show that the financial machine Is
delicately balanced mechanism and
that upward or downward ten

to stop.
The board hopes to get the credit

of March. It was pointed out that
business is beginning to feel the
pinch of higher priced money. The
demand for commercial money is in.
creasing, according to reserve board
reports. The country is believed to
be facing another year Of prosperity,
barring excessive interest rates.
Officials declared that the board
has no thought of seeking to regu'
late stock prices and is concerned
with values and speculation only SO
far as these activities force money
rates to figures that act as mag
net for funds from all oyer the couI1-
try, cutting down the supply Of cash
and forcing rates higher.

C|V|TANS HEAR
PEACE TALK

World peace is no longer the
dream Of disorganized minorities
in widely separated points Of the
globe. but the demand Of the ma
jority of the civilized population Of
the world. Pierre De Lanux, a
speaker of the League Of Nations
Association, declared at the lunch
con meeting yesterday Of the Wash
ington Civitan Club, at the Lafayette
Hotel.
Several factors now face those
who would begin wars that were
undreamed of at the outbreak OF the
world war. One Is that peace has
been taken out OF the hands of the
small minorities and is now the
prayer and demand of three-Quarters
Of the poulation of the earth.
Another important factor the
speaker declared, is that business in.
terests of all nations have learned
that there are greater profits from
peacetime industry and trade than
have learned that u war anywhere
in the world impoverishes some
vitality necessary world market.
