The measure also provides that hereafter no federal reserve bank may enter into a contract for banking homes if thsir cost is to exceed $150,000 unless with ths consent of congress.

Senator McLean, republican, Connecticut, chairman of the senate banking and currency committee, which was overriden by the acceptance of the substitute bill, also defended the board, but assailed extensively those, who he said, ware going ahead deliberately to "fool the farmer." He declared that the solution of the present economic situation lay not in class legislation, but In a return of the paopls to working and saving.
