SYSTEM NOW INOPERATION Dozen Institutions, With Most Re- markable Powers Ever Granted Such Concerns by the United States Gov- ernmient, Begin Business in as Many Cities of the Country. Washington, Nov. 17.—Finanecial panics in the United States are a thing of the past. This was the posi- tion taken by Secretary of the Treas- ury McAdoo and members of tha fed- eral reserve board. Their advices from the twelve cities in which the new federal reserve banks threw open their doors for the first time indicated that every prepa- ration had been made for good work by these institutions. Through them the federal reserve board believes it will be able to ad- Jjust, modify and alter the finances of the country so that a financial panic with its resultant disaster will be im- possible hereafter. The new regional banks opened ac- cording to a set program. Not all had permanent quarters and some were doing business with borrowed staffs. Will Keep Money Moving. But they were started out with the most remarkable powers of any banks ever established in the United States and they will, the officers here de- clare, so manipulate the national finances that there will always be a flowing stream of currency moving steadily from point to point in the country, so that- hereafter the so called Wall street banks, with their| “big city” connections, cannot corner the supply and so force the rural banks to pay high premiums for need- ed cash. It is also «leclared that with the new banks in“existence there is pos- sible for the first time in the United States a definition of what is really commercial paper. The operations of the reserve board and the operations of the banks they comtrol, will, it is claimed, legitimatize transactions and clear up much that in the past has been debatable ground between the banker and the legitimate borrower. | Had Taken His Weight in Medicine.
