MONEY CONTROL
MOVES WATCHED
How Far Washington Will
Go on Newest "Tack"
interests Street,
BY FREDERICK GARDNER.
Associated Press financial Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 16-HoW far
Washington would go on its present
monetary control tack is the big ques-
ton of the moment in speculative
quarters
The latest Step-the move for vir-
tual suspension of the gold sterillza-
tion policy by limiting the amount of
imported and newly mined metal for
impounding henceforth-was a re-
minder boom" controls have been
operating in the reverse since last
summer, analysts point out.
The first definite hint of reversal
came in the release of $500, 900 900 in
"desterilized" gold to the money mar
ket early last autumn, followed by re-
taxation of margin requirements
against stock market purchases around
the late october elimination of the
autumn break in share prices. Mean
while, Wall Street gossipS have pic
tured q possibility the reversal might
carry so far as to lead to strong re-
vival of imitation psychology Thus far
the action has been mainly in way OF
releasing partly the boom brakes
used in 1896 and 1887.
Moves Made Carefully.
From look backward it appears
Federal strategy is to move cautiously.
a step at a time. in applying "infla-
ton" and "deflation" controls. Wash
ington began to tighten the credit
brakes against speculation in the
spring of 1886 by upping margin re-
quirements for stock purchases. It
was about a year later before the
brakes really began to pinch on sec
ond increase in reserve requirements
for Federal Reserve member banks.
In retrospect, some economists hold
that second reserve requirement hike
began to hurt by causing banks to
sell United States Government Sc
curities.
More potent than the actual imme-
diate results in expanding or contract
ing the available supply of credit, ex-
perts contend, is the influence Of the
step-by-step strategy upon speculative
and business psychology Washington,
they insist, has served notice to Wall
Street it would 60 ahead in reversing
its boom" controls if further deflation
in commodities and business threatens.
Two Big Aces in Hole.
Washington still has two big aces
in the hole to play on the reverse tack
from the 1867 efforts to keep rising
prices and costs from running away.
They are release of the 81 ,20O, 900 900
still held in the sterilized gold fund
and the lowering of reserve require
ments to where they were before the
boom brakes began to 60 into action
IN 1896.
Together, bankers figure, these two
aces in the hole would expand surplus
bank funds for member banks of the

RATE
BOOST IS URGED
Western Union Head Says
IS Per Cent Rise Vital
to Meet Costs.

oS tiie ASSOClAIeO TTe6S.
Roy B. White. president of Western
Union Telegraph Co., urged the Com
munications Commission today to ap-
prove promptly the application Of the
principal telegraph companies for a
IS per cent increase in practically all
domestic rates.
I'VE are convinced there is no other
way by which We can obtain the funds
necessary to meet present-day costs of
taxes labor and material, maintain
reasonable and essential credit. and
continue to maintain the dependable
service the public has a right to ex-
pect," Mr.. White said.
Telegraph officials fully realize" he
added, that . narrowing of the spread
between the rates for telegraph service
and the rates for competing commune
cation services. such as long distance
telephone service. might tend to divert
some telegraph business to the tele-
phone.
I'VE have also felt quite severely
the competition of the Governments
subsidized airmail, which becomes
more acute with each extension or
expansion Of such service and with
each improvement In the speed of the
service" Mr.. White said.
He told the commission that taxes
under the Social Security Act added
an obligation which the company
must meet out of its income. For IS
years. he said, Western Union has
maintained q liberal voluntary pen-
sion and benefit plan for its employees.
The social security law, he said.
places us in position of choosing
between abandoning about 100 pen
sioners we now have throughout the
United States, which we will not DO
II We can avoid it, or obtain addi-
tional relief which will permit Us to
not only pay them but also to continue
sickness, disability and death benefits
in accordance with our plan and pay
the social security tax as we'll"
The commission barred yesterday
any discussion Of a possible merger
between Postal and Western Union.
Lee Pressman, representing the
American Radio Telegraphists Asso-
citation. and Percival E. Jackson, rep
resenting Postal bondholders, had
sought to bring up this possibility.
Commissioner Paul A. Walker, pre-
siding at the hearing. ruled, however,
that questions on this line were not
proper cross-examination of r. G.
Kramer, co-trustee Of the Postal Tele-
graph & Gable Corp. Walker also
commented that 1t was not . ques-
ton for commission consideration at
this time because congressional action

surpass anything the banking system
has known in this country and might
exert some real "inflationary" pressure
by giving banks an incentive to hunt
outlet for idle funds through loans and
investments.
Member banks of the Reserve sys-
tenn. as condition reports show, have
been buying United States Govern
ment obligations steadily for some
weeks to offset loss of about 81 ,OOO,-
100000 in brokers' and commercial
loans since the 1887 business setback.
Logically. bankers explain, accelera-
ton of this trend might be expected
as surplus funds continue to climb
with the return of currency from cir
culation and Treasury action to ex-
pand deposits, such as the latest gold
move. The gold move is not expected
to add substantially to excess reserves
Immediately, for the chief acquisitions
to the country's metal supply lately
have come from the Nations mines
and small imports from other pro-
ducing countries. The big drain on
Europe's gold supply stopped last year
when American business and markets
went into tailspin.
But the current pool of bank funds
is considered ample to permit pur-
chases of hundreds of millions of dol
lars in additional investments to re-
place partly or wholly what banks
sold last year.
Street Watches With Interest.
Why Washington has been stepping
SO cautiously in releasing the boom"
brakes exc:tes the money streets in
terest. Many have expected more dras-
tic "inf1ationary' action than has been
taken and the drop in most stocks
yesterday seemed to point that way.
The inference some draw is that
the administration is trying to avoid
violent return of imitation psychol-
ogy," such as was blamed for the ris-
ing price spiral year ago and heavy
accumulation of inventories of raw
materials and goods.
The Government, they note, has
been working to aid business recovery
through long-range housing and other
spending projects, including arms. A
resumption OF the imitation spiral. the
reasoning goes, probably would inter-
fere with this program, especially
building revival, by raising costs. In
fact. administration strategy widely
has been pictured in Wall Street and
Washington as working for elimina-
tion OF at least part of the hump put
in building costs in 1896 and 1897 be-
cause that rise was considered a major
obstacle in stopping the promising re-
covery in building under way q year
ago.
