RESERVE BOARD
ASKS AMENDMENTS
Six Channel in Banking Act Aiked
in First Annual Report to
Congreu.
PROVIDES FOREIGN BRANCHES
WASHINGTON. Feb. 14. Si
amendments to tha federal reserve
act were recommended to congress
today in the report of the Federal
Reeerre board for the first full year
of operation of the new banking
system.
"A year's experience in the op
eration of the Federal Reserve act,"
saya the report, "baa confirmed the
hoard In its profound conviction
that the act has been one of the
most beneficial plecea of legislation
eer adopted by congress. Not only
have its fundamental principals
been fully vindicated, but in most
details the working of the measure
has been successful."
FroTlsloas f A wcn-Bieats.
The emendmenls recommended would:
Permit national banks to subscribe end
hold stock in banks orgsnlsed for the
I'ledal purpose of doing a banking bust
ness in forelsn countries.
Permit, with She'epprovsl of th board,
the Issue of Federal Reserve notes to
federal Reserve banks either against ths
deposit of commercial pa per or gold, pro j
vtded that the cold so deposited shall
count as part of ths required reserve
of tha bank. j
Extend the acceptance system to ths
domestic trsde so fsr es It relates to
documentary acceptance secured by ship
ping documents or warehouse receipts,
covering readily marketable commodities
or against ths pledss of roods actually
sold.
Permit national banks to establish
brunch offices within the city or oounty
In which they are Iocs ted.
Permit advances to member banks
sgalnst ths member banks' secured prom
iKwory notes or against the deposit or
pledge of United Ftstes government
bonds.
Authorise a wide discretion In the mik
ing of farm loans by national banks, so
that a Federal Reserve bank might make
loans of tills kind within a radius of lftO
miles of Its plsce of business, whether in
its dlntrlct or snothcr district.
'It la believed.J says ths report, "that
ths enactment of these amendments will,
besides enlarging the usefulness of the
national banks, result In greatlr strength
ening the operation of the Federal Re
serve act, snd more completely realise
the purposes ef Its framers."
The board announces that It does not
consider that It can direct the business
operations of Federal Reserve banks In
respect to foreign losns, hut that Its
function is to oversee these banks. A
plea is made In the report for the en
trance Into the system ef more state
banks and trust eompsnles.
Iwaae "orwlsraers.
In speaking of foreign borrowing the
United States the board points cki that
It has received many Inquiries) en this
subject, snd has given them careful at
tention, ft has reached the conclusion,
it says, supported by competent legal ad
Men, that the purpose for which goods
are sold er exported, or Uis use to which
such Roods are ultimately put." does not
fall within Its province or Jurisdiction.
The board expresses regret thst In some
states suits have been instituted to test
the validity of the provisions of the re
serve act by which it may grant certain
fiduciary powers to national banks, an
nounces Its intention to have tta counsel
Intervene In these case and says that
eery effort will be msde to have Uy
question settled by the supreme court at
an early date. It Is pointed out that only
thirty-two state banks have been ad
mitted to the system end eighty-four
others neve come in by conversion lata
national banks.
Monrr Market Eur AH Ytar.
The report declares that a condition of
xiiiarKMil fm was the outstanding fea
tum of the country's money market dur
ing the year. It says that the nation's
jort .trade has reached high water
umrk, .that manufacturing In nearly all
, lines Is active and that It has been the
port of wisdom for reserve banks te con
serve their reaourcea "and hold them
selves in readiness to meet any unex
pected developments, la the situation."
An Increasa of almost a billion dollars In
the combined loans ef national banks In
the year and an Increase of deposits of
resrly t-.ooo.ooo.ooo are pointed to as
pertinent In considering the situation.
Thejso facts." the report says, "would
eeem to Indicate that It la pnident to be
prepared for a time when the reserve
r sources of the country will be subjected
to & severe test and when the leadership
snd operations of ths Federal Reserve
banks wlil become correspondingly more
Influential"
Dlaeaaat Poller Wtrki Well.
The discount policy of the board dur
ing the last year Is declared to have been
the proper one under the existing cir
rumstanees. but It is pointed out thst
ss time goes on there will be a disposition
to maka these, rates as nearly equal In
all parts ef the country as Is possible.
Ths reserve banks have not been greatly
encouraged to Indulge In such commer
cial banking operations as the law per
mits, open market operations as the act
terms there, ths board, says, because
thereby the danger of Inflation might
have been Increased and money rates
further depressed. More active par
ticipation In eurh transactions by reserve
Units may be espected In the future.
The board, the report aanounoas. Is
considering the establishment of branch
sendee of reserve banks In cities other
than thoee where such banks are. lLtt
and for tho present does not expect to
approve the establishment of branch re
serve banks. The clearing o Deration. r
the banks, it says, have proved a success
put too rew or the hanks have taken ad
vantage 0f this function.

In California for any republican men
tioned for the presidential candidacy ex
cept Hughes and Roosevelt, although
Borah has some friends. If Governor
Johnson were to authorise the use of
his name as a presidential candidate, he
could win the republican delegation from
California,
Colorado. 1
Delegates are to he chosen by -state
convention which is here called a state
assembly, for which the date has not yet
been fixed. The prospect. Is for a fac

an unlnstructed delegation. Present sen
timent Is nesrly equally divided between
Root and Hughes, with soms support for
Cummins.

Delaware's six delegates are to be

Presidential candidates have been crys

Idaho.
All the delegates will be elected by
state convention yet to be called by the
state committee, but which will be held
some time In March. The Idaho repub

agreed to give undivided support to Sena

be given at this tlms.
Kansas.
The state committee has called the
state convention (or March Jl, but the
district conventions have not yet been
called. It Is not possible to prophesy
with any accuracy as to- the make-up of
the delegation, for there is sure to oe
a contest. The conservatives seem to be
getUng behind .Weeks, while the progres
slvea are for Hughes. There. Is little
doubt that' a majority of the delegation
will be for Hitfhea

given to him so long as his name Is

Maine.
A state convention is to held March S3
to choose the four dologatee-at-large and
district convention to chooae district
delegates on the same day. Maine rarely
instructs Its delegatee and they will prob
ably be unlnstructed. There Is a great
2eal of Hughes sentiment in this state
nd If he Is a possibility, the delegation
will be (or him.
Maryland.
The delegates will be chosen by conven
tion, but no steps have yet been taken In
that direction. All the talk so far is In
favor of an unpledged delegation.
Minnesota.
Minnesota is the first presidential pref
erence primary state, the date for choos
ing the delegates and voting on presi
dential preference being March 14. The
filings (or president have been made for
Cummins of Iowa, Lstabrook of New
York and William Grant Webeter of
Illinois. Theer Is much sentiment for
Hughes and some for Root, but on the
vote on those on the ballot. Cummins la
expected to carry the state easily.
Mlssonrl.
Convention delegates are chosen' by
state and district conventions, one of the
districts already having acted, selecting
two unlnstructed delegates, but supposed
to favor Weeks. If there were a chance
tor Iladley, be could have the Missouri
support, but with him out of It, the dele
gates will be divided. Fairbanks la a
favorite, and also Root, and even mora
Hughes, but Instructions are not likely
for anyone.
Mantaaa.
Convention delegatee are to be chosen
by primary about the middle of April.
The state committee waa to meet at
Helena February ' H. with a view te
reaching an amicable arrangement aa to
the make-up of the delegation so as to
avoid any primary contest. Hughes sen
timents preponderates, but with him
eliminated there Is a tremendous lot ef
talk regarding Roosevelt. If people were
convinced Hughes would run. the senti
ment in thl state would favor Hughes.

candidates have until March IS to file.
At present the names of Cummins, Ests

the ballot subject to wlthdrewal, the
names of Roosevelt and Hushes having
already been withdrawn. Efforts te ar

dates for delegatee have publicly an
nounced their preference for Hughes

Inner of the preference vote. The
HtiKhes sehtiment Is very strong through
out the state.

The four delegates-at-large and the four
district delegates have already been se

The entire Pennsylvania delegation will

delegates-at-large havs been submitted,
one by Governor Brumbaugh's asso

if there will ybe an agreement on the
other four, and in the Interval, district
delegates-at-large have been alow In an

probably Include Governor Brumbaugh,

any possibility ef nominating Philandsr
