BANKERS SEE n
SAFE AS MEN
ON BOARD
BY b. c. FORBES

Which are ADLER the members of
the Federal Reserve Board at
Washington or the responsible
heads of the largest banks in
America?
In the open market, whose
services would command the
higher price, the Reserve Board
members or such men as Charles
f. Mitchell head of the countrys
largest financial institution; AL
bert II. Wiggin. head of the bill
lion.and-a-half dollar Chase Ma
tional Bank; William {. Porter,
head of the mammoth Guaranty
Trust Company; Melvin A. Tray
lor, George NJ. Reynolds, Walter
w. Head, of Chicago, and the fore
most bankers in Philadelphia.
Boston, Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco. Detroit, New Orleans. ST.
Louis. etc?
The members of the Federal
Reserve Board. conscientious and
esteemable gentlemen, would be
the first to admit that their bank
ing achievements never equaled
these other men 5.
Will Think Twice
This being so, the board mem
bers are likely to think twice be-
fore telling the ablest bankers in
America that they don't know their
business, that they should not have
done this and that they should
have done the other thing. Sena-
tor Carter Glass, of Virginia, in his
outburst against Mr.. Mitchell for
preventing a panic, declared We.
hemently that Mr. Mitchell had
violated his oath of office as a
class \ director of the Federal Re
serve Bank of New York. There
was no such oath. Mitchell was
not chosen by the Federal Reserve
Board. but by his fellow bankers
in New York district. Were Wash.
ington officials to attempt to throw
him off the board those who elect
ed him doubtless would have some.
thing to say.
In Britain, when a banking giant
takes courageous action to check
threatened banking disturba nee, he
is knighted. Washington idea ap-
parently is that he should be in
dicted
Is Cooling Down
The main thing to keep in mind
is the well-being Of the SO per cent
ordinary folk throughout the
country. Keeping them in mind, it
is important that nothing be done
to stop prosperity, which means
employment and good wages. TO
keep everybody busy is of more i'm.
portance than to keep Wall Street
strictly reined. The only legiti-
mate reason under the sun for the
Federal Reserve Board, or anybody
else. to attempt to quiet down spec
ulatiOn would be to prevent ex-
Cesses from reaching limits danger.
Gus to the stability of industry,
