SENTIMENT VEERS
ON CENTRAL BANK
Expanded Federal Reserve
System to Achieve Same
Ends Talked.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

Sentiment for placing control Of
money and credit more definitely un-
der Federal authority has veered
within recent weeks from actual crea-
tion of a new central bank OF issue
toward expansion of the Federal Re
serve System, which would achieve the
same ends.
This became evident today when a
responsible fiscal authority declared
that the banking act of 1898, with two
exceptions, vested in the Federal Re-
serve Board ample power and author
ity to regulate and control the none
tary policy Of the country.
These two exceptions, he explained,
was veto power at present lacked by
the board to confirm the appointment
of governor of the various Federal
Reserve banks. and the creation of
Federal Open Market Committee, one
member selected by each Reserve bank
directorate, to regulate open market
activities. This, he pointed out, gave
to the Reserve Board no supervisory
powers over open market policies, and
might result in a program being
adopted running directly counter to
that desired by the Government.
The banking act of 1888, he said,
gave to the Federal Reserve Board
broad powers in the monetary func-
tions Of the nation, which, if fully
utilized, would create in effect an in
stitution with all the powers of a
central bank of issue. This, he held,
would be more practicable in view Of
the apprehension existing at this time
than to create a brand-new structure
with identical functions.
1t was indicated that legislation
would be sought at the new session Of
Congress which would make the au-
thority of the Federal Reserve Board
virtually absolute in the banking field.
Additional powers granted to the
Reserve Board by the banking act Of
1888 provided for the coordination of
Federal Reserve open market activi-
ties, for the prevention Of speculative
uses of credit, for regulation of inter-
bank control, for the insurance of de-
posits in member banks, for regulation
Of their operations, for separation Of
security aff1liates, and permitted
branch banking
The act embraced, in its scope, ma
tional banks, Federal Reserve and
member banks, including State, Nor
ris Plan, mutual banks and postal
savings.
1t also provided that undue use Of
credit might subject member bank
to suspension, and forbade member
banks to act as agent in security
loans to brokers or dealers, to extend
credit to purchase securities under
repurchase agreement from any affll-
late, to invest in affiliate obligations,
or to accept obligations of afhliates
as collateral on loans exceeding 10
per cent of capital or surplus.
