U. S. WARNS BANKS
TOLD OF DANGER TO INDUSTRY
IN WAR LOAN NOTES.
Federal Reserve Board Sees Peril In
the Purchase of Short-Term
Notes.
Washington, Nov. 20. Tho federal
reserve board Issued a statement on
Monday warning bunks and the public
against the purehnso of short-term for
eign notes.
The statement will be n severe blow
to tho financiers who were planning to
float thoso Ionns In the .United Stntes.
Tho statement snys In part:
"In view of contradictory notes
whlcl have appeared In tho press re
garding Its attitude toward the pur
chasing by bank,? In this country of
trensury bills of foreign governments,
the board deems It a duty to define Its
position clenrly. ,
"Tho board believes that at this
tlmo banks should proceed with much
caution In locking up Uielr funds In
long term obligations which arc short
term In form or name, but which,
either by contract or through force of
circumstances, may have to be re
newed until normal conditions return.
Tho bourd's concern and responsibility
lies primarily with tho banking situ
ation. "If, however, our bnnklng" Institu
tions have to Intervene because for
ilgn securities nro offered faster than
they can bo absorbed by investors
that Is, their depositors an clement
would be Introduced which, If not kept
under control, would tend toward In
stability and ultimata Injury to tho
economic development of this coun
try. "Whllo the loans may bo short in
form and severally may bo collected at
maturity, tho object of tho borrower
must bo to attempt to renew them col
lectively, with the result thnt tho ag
gregate amount placed hero will re
main until such time ns It may be ad
vantageously converted Into a long-
term obligation. It would, therefore,
seem that funds of our banks, which
should bo available for short credit
facilities to our merchants, manufac
turers and farmers, would bo absorbed
for other purposes to a disproportion
ate degree, especially In view of the
fact that many of our bunks nro al
ready carrying foreign obligations
which they uro under agreement to re
new. "Tho board deems, therefore, Its
duty to caution tho member banks that
It does not regard it in tho Interest of
tho couutry nt this timo that they In
vest in foreign treasury bills of this
character."

been so much In excess of regular dip

Its consent for such diplomats to travel
