Replying to Mr. Gold, Representative Kerr wrote: “I heartily concur with you in your position.

NEW YORK, August 29.—Announce- ment of the resignation of Roy A. Young as governor of the Federal Reserve Board to accept a pesition as gevernor of the Federal Reserye Bank has caused s revival of diseussion ‘Wall Street of Federal Reserve policy during the last two years. The policy pursued by the Federal Reserve Board in 1928 and 1029 fre- quently has been held to hlame for tI big crash in the stock market last It was alleged that the board erred first in 1928, when it deliberately adopted measures to keep money rates dcwn, aup dly to facilitate exports of urope with & view to assisting m-- elgn countries to strengthen their bank- ing structure. By adopting such a policy the board, it was contended, em- boldened speculators in this country to proceed with plans to create the biggest inflation of Stock Exchange prices .nd brokers' loans ever known. ‘The Discount lnte. The second count against the board was that last year, after it hm “vecame apparent,_that a de'nnroua candition of credit inflation and security prices had been created, it was dilatory in taking direct action to check the movement by authorizing advances in discount raes. It was revealed, subsequent to the stock market. break, that at least three re- serve banks had sought permission early last year to boost their rates to 6 x:r cent to halt credit inflation, but t the board refused to approve their ap- plications. Finally when the board did authorize such advances last August the action came too late to eavul«tl the stock market panic that ensued. While few believe t a crash could t:vu been avaided, the contention u en that by acting more rmmpu Federal Reserve Board could have mm- gated the violence of the break and venlld‘ t‘he wholesale losses suffere by lic g wbl perfectly fair to the Reserve admitfed that Gov. assaciates early showed hlind to_the penlu i 1 Board, it must be Youni that ¢ S:ey were not. esh | of the situgtion; they merely differed | from other bankers regarding . the cor- vect, mgthod of coping with them.
