SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1920 Hindy Tells Arthur of lum Island to Go and Get a Reputation WASHINGTON, Dec. congressional joint committee hearing on the agricultural situation developed today into a dispute, at times quite heated, between Governor Harding of tr.e Federal Reserve Board and members of Congress. Chairman, what is the purpose of this Governor Harding finally demanded, while being questioned by Representative Byrnes, Democrat, of South Carolina.

the Federal Reserve Board on trial, am I on trial he continued, declaring he had been a target for kinds of BANKS CRITICISED rtrculars Issued by the regional reserve bank of Richmond, to member banks, and which Mr. Byrnes w-as attempting to show had resulted In rigid restriction of credlt.s, were under discussion. Governor Harding said such circulars were not submitted to the board until printed, when they were looked over, and attention of the Issuing regional banks called to anything the board deemed unwise. The board, he added, was not a central bank. At one point Governor Harding told Representative Byrnes he to read the federal reserve act and try to understand It." Mr.

Bymes replied that he did understand the act as he had helped frame it. Senator-elect Hefling, Alabama, asked Governor Harding If the lawmakers could issue a statement to the public as understandftig his testimony to be that the reserv'e board was favorable to banks extending all the credit possible to farmers. Federal Reserve Board prefers to issue Its own Governor Harding replied. Upheld Richmond Bank Approving efforts of the Richmond bank to restrict loans for non-essential purposes In 1919, Governor Harding said: know some banks In South Carolina had been carrying large loans on cotton, some since 1917, in the face of an active Holding such cotton then, he added on reserve bank funds, was Governor Harding declared farmers need have no fear that the banks would not do their part and carry over loans on staple crops for which there is no market, provided the farmers would make a fair statement of their condi- bankers. He cited figures which he said showed there had been no restriction on rediscounts of agrricul- tural paper.

Secretary preceded Governor Harding, strongly opposed projects to revive the war finance corporation for the purpose of financing sales abroad of surplus farm products. Present price declines were due to readjustments following the war, he said, and he saw no solution for the problem, although the Treasury Department had devoted more thought to it than to any other subject for the last two months.

He had been asked as to his proposal of Senator Hitchcock for employment of these funds for relief.

Says Banks Will Do Share The situation of the cattle growers. Governor Harding said, stood by itself and demanded relief. The suggestion of Senator Hitchcock, he continued, was outside the province of the board, and a matter with which It was not concerned. Governor Harding said there was no cause for fesr on the part of the pro-! ducers that the banks would not do their part in the present situation. Answering the charge of profiteering on the part of the reserve banks.

Governor Harding said they had earned 6.9 per cent on their capital stock of 000,000, and the reserve balances of banks amounting to 11,800,000,000. Doubt that the exports could be in- i creased unless some way was for Increasing buying power' and ability to furnish requisite securi- ties was expressed by Secretary Houston. He did not see, he added, how much relief could be extended at this time in that way. He had no doubt, Mr. Houston said, that the war finance corporation would should Congress recreate it, but he added believe it would be against the pub- i lie The secretary said he believed that the country- was in for a period of price i recession, and that more fate- ful could happen than that this nation i embark on unsound fiscal policy in banking in seeking relief for the grow- i 1 HINDY GOT HIS BACK UP AS SOON AS HE READ THE CHALLENGE.
