Reserve Bank, called an "inher-
ent" conflict between the objec-
tives of the two agencies. The
Senator said there is no legal ma
chinery for determining which
policy should prevail, and. there
fore, the two agencies fall back
on the magic word cooperation.

ator Douglas, "and you should

happen?"
Mr.. McCabe replied that he
could see the possibility of grave
danger if you had in the person
mel the type of people who just
refuse to discuss these broad ques-
tions in the public interest"
The, Federal Reserve chairman
pointed out, however. that If the
two agencies reached an impasse
their first recourse would be te
go to the President. If the Re-
serve Board still felt it's position
was not being considered. he sale
it could then appeal to the Con-
gress.
Would it help if Congress gave
a directive to both agencies?'
asked Senator Douglas.
Mr.. McCabe said he has
thought about that. but has ap-
prehensions over the difficulty OF
drafting satisfactory directive
The witness said your greatest
insurance" lies in the character
of the men in the Reserve Board
and the Treasury.
He added that smost of the
Treasury Secretaries he has
known have taken a much
broader view of monetary policy
than the mere interest rate on
Government bonds. He pointed
out, also, that the Secretary Of the
Treasury is a member of tile
Cabinet and should be influenced
by the policies Of the President.
Speaking of present relation
ships, Mr.. McCabe said 1--WE spend
hours each week" discussing fis-
cal problems with the Treasury
Secretary, and that he has always
found the Secretary anxious and
willing to consult and get our
point Of view"
You're a little afraid that If
we tried to issue congressional
directive the cure might be worse
than the disease?" asked Senator
Douglas.

sion along that.line." Mr.. McCabe

Question From Audience.
In asking Mr.. McCabe about
the report of a disagreement last
week between the Treasury and
the Open Market Committee,
Senator Douglas said he. had no
knowledge of the incident, but was
relaying to the witness question
sent up to the committee table by
someone in the audience. The
Senator read the question as fol-
lows:
Last week the Federal Reserte
Board strongly requested the
Treasury to withhold any an
of refunding terms on
the certificates maturing on jan
uary !. The board wanted to be
free to let the market decline in
order to establish a IA per cent
(ratel as opposed to 1hs per cent
if conditions made this advisable
the Treasury, a
month in advance, announced
that the January / certificates
would be refunded into one year
1h's."
Mr.. McCabe said he questioned
whether he should make any COM
ment on that, because it involved
"a confidential relationship be-
tween the Open Market Commit
tee and the Treasury"
The reply prompted Senator
Douglas to inquire jokingly, 1T it
true, then. that you live in a per-
feet goldfish bowl?"
The Senator was referring to an
earlier statement by Mr.. McCabe
that the Federal Reserve Board
does not live "in an ivory tower, {"
but rather in a'goldf1sh bowl.
Senator Douglas told reporters
last night he is considering the ad-
visibility of a congressional direc-
tive, defining the relative powers
and jurisdiction of the Treasury
and Federal Reserve Board, but
has reached no conclusion.
The Illinois Senator said the
situation existing between these
two agencies in the field of none
tary control is a good deal like
the problem of unifying the Army
and Navy for defense purposes.
Senator Douglas said that, ir-
respective Of personalities, the
Treasury has an inevitable desire
to hold down interest charges on
the public debt, since Congress has
charged it with responsibility for
managing the debt.
At the same time, he said, the
Reserve System will always have
a natural desire, when prices are
rising, to check that rise by rails
ing interest rates to restrict credit
expansion.
Senator Douglas said this pro-
