to the problem which will relieve lot

prev mt the return of similar conditions.
Our officers and committees, being
thoroughly conversant with the prob
lens involved and also recognizing that
nothing but the soundest economic and
financial remedies should be made use
of. have given most serious study to the
subject and feel that the financial
structure Of this country should in
clude a Federal mortgage bank to serve
the needs of the institutions dealing in
long time paper much as the Federal
Reserve Bank assists the institutions
dealing in short-time paper.

such a bank and we pledge our organ
