FEDERAL RESERVE
HIS SUGGESTIONS
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Feb. 14.—Six
amendments to the federal reserve act
were recommended to congress today
in the report of the federal reserve
board for the first full year of opera
tic n of the new banking system.
“A year's experience in the opera
tion of the federal reserve act,” says
the report, “has confirmed the Board
in its profound conviction that the act
has been one of the most beneficial
pieces of legislation ever adopted by
congress. Not only have its fundamen
tal principles been fully vindicated but
in most details the working of the
measure has been successful.”
The amendments recommended
would:
Permit national banks to subscribe
and hold stock in banks organized for
he special purpose of doing a banking
business in foreign countries;
Permit, with the approval of the
beard, the issue of federal reserve
■notes to federal reserve banks eithe •
against the deposit of commercial pa
per or gold, provided that the gold
so deposited shall count as part of the
required reserve of the bank;
Extend the acceptance system to the
domestic trade so far as it relates to
documentary acceptances secured by
shipping documents or warehouse re
ceipts, covering readily marketable
commodities or against the pledge of
goods actually sold.
Permit national banks to establish
branch offices within the city or county
in which they are located.
Permit advances to member banks
against the member bank's secured
promissory notes or against the deposit
or pledge of U. S. government bonds; !
Authorize a wide discretion in the
making of farm loans of this kind
with a radius of one hundred miles
of its place of business whether in its
district or another district.
