II recommend to the congress the

date modification of the Volstead
act, in order to legalize the manufac-
ture and sale of beer and other bev-
erages of such alcoholic content as is
permissible under the Constitution;

doors under licenses from the Treas

ing house cities that had applied for

federal treasury or, in the case of
state banks. by state banking depart
ments, began opening on Tuesday,
and those in the smaller cities and
towns on Wednesday.
There were no restrictions placed on
the banks in the way of limiting with
drawals, except where, the depositor
was attempting to secure sums that
would indicate boarding, when the per-
son making the withdrawal was re-
quired to state his purpose and give
his name and address.
The banks were also required not
to pay out gold or gold certificates,
the embargo the President had placed
on gold being continued, and vast
amounts of the metal were being re-
turned to the banks. Up to March ID
it was estimated the Federal Reserve
bank in New York had received more
than $100,000,000 of boarded gold and
in Chicago more than $23,0O0,OO0 had
been returned. The returns through
out the nation indicated a larger

banks than the total withdrawal Of

the government did not give out any

The President, in published state
ment and also in a national broad
cast, detailed in simple language the
reasons for the national bank holiday
and the plans for opening. He was
careful to emphasize the point that
the time of opening any bank was
not determined by. it's relative condi-
ton, but by the ability Of the officials
of the Federal Reserve banks and of
the Treasury department to make the
proper check for the issuing of licenses.
He explained that banks that were not
sound would not be permitted to open
except under government supervision
for the purpose of recognizing them.
The reopened banks were supplied
with liberal allowance of the new
currency based on bank assets, but in
practically no case was any of this
needed as the deposits exceeded the
Withdrawals, and in many cases the
new currency was returned to the Fed
