B4 FEDERAL RESERVE POLICY MODIFIED Interest Rates Increased, but Care Is Taken to Not Hurt Trade. “Adjustment” of interest rates to a natural level rather than a trend from cheap money to high money is the new policy of the Federal Reserve System. This development, es outlined au- thoritatively here yesterday, coincides with the desire of the Federal Reserve authorities to ald in the recovery of business by making it possible on the one hand to maintain a steady flow of credit and at the same time to keep funds from being unemployed because of the low rate of return. For many months the cheap money policy has been maintained on the theory that the cheaper money became the more readily it would seek invest- ment, and, of course, bolster up the Jong-term credit operations of the country as reflected in the bond mar- ket. But funds continued to remain idle just the same or to seek short- term investment. The banks of the country complained that the Federsl Teserve rediscount rates, which act more or less as a barometer of interest rates generally, were too low to give them a chance to pay anything material on time deposits, and that it practically blocked the opportunities of the banks to earn money on their lendings. Several Factors Seen. During the last week a number of influences combined to change the Federal Reserve policy. There was, of course, the desire to make it attractive for foreign interests to retain their large foreign balances in the United States to prevent any precipitate out- flow of gold. and there was, too, th wish to enable banks to adjust them- selves to a better interest rate all along the line. The move was promptly interpreted this week as a reversal of Federal Re- serve policy, with a tendency toward high money rates, especially for com- mercial borrowers. Nothing of the kind is contemplated and the explana- tion made in official quarters today is that rediscount rates were too low and required readjustment to a somewhat higher but not prohib.tive level. There 1s, on the contrary, every desire to ease credit and this is shown in the ex- pansion by the Federal Reserve System of its credit structure, so that the total amount of borrowings from the Federal Reserve and purchases of bankers’ ac- ceptances and Government _securities has increased substantially. This is an index of how the Federal Reserve feels about credit conditions. Gold Outflow Anticipated. There is not the slightest feeling of anxiety here either about an ultimate outflow of gold. All of France's hold- ings in America of about $800,000,000 could be withdrawn, for example, and still the American pot of gold would be in excess of two and a half billion dollars, which is more than necessary as a gold reserve for the banks of the country. But any disorderly movement or too rapid exit causes concern. Hence the authorities here in consultation with the experts from the Bank of France may undertake a collaboration which eray amount to a joint effort on the part of France and the United States to stabilize the gold situation in both countries and with respect to the rest of the world. The courses open to France and the United States are for each to go it alone, with both nations thus compelled eventually to bear the consequences of a situation in which all the world virtually will be off the gold standard, or for France and America to combine gold resources so as to redistribute gold in a way that will at some not far dis- tant date bring the gold standard back to those countries that have lost it. Isolation Is Feared. Financial isolation might mean costly results to American trade with dump- ing of goods manufactured by payrolls of cheaper money standards and with foreign purchasing power less able to buy American exports. The next 10 days are certain to bring a turning point in the gold situation, for with the synchronization of discount rates between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of France a beginning has been made toward a united front against depreciating currencies. (Copyright, 1931) CIVIL SERVICE FILLS JOBS ON OLD BASIS Residents of States Near District Are Assured of Equality in Selection by Quota. Assurance is «given by Civil Service Commission officials that residents of the District, Maryland and Virginia will not meet any additional barrier to their entry into the apportioncd departmental service of the Government in Washing- ton as a result of the commission’s recent action in breaking away from & method employed since 1910. The District, Maryland and Virginia, with their large populations close neigh- bors to the Government offices, and a couple of other States have employes in the Federal service far in excess of their apportioned quotas, while the other States fall far below their quotas. It was explained at the Civil Service Commission vesterday that the same method will be followed as heretofore in selecting District, Maryland and Vir- ginia eligibles for positions, because they have been taken on only after all those of higher rating from other States had first chance at the vacan- cies under their apportioned quota. In other words, where the qualification averages are the same, the residents of other States will be given the positions to the full limit of their quota before local or nearby applicants who have equally high marks will be considered. BRAZIL REVEALS PLAN TO PAY LOANS IN SCRIP! Inability to Transfer Funds to Markets, Where Coupons Are Payable, Is Given as Reason. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 17.—A state- ment from the Brazillan government saying it would pay all loans except funding loans of 1898 and 1914 in special scrip was made public today by Sebastian Sampaio, Brazil's consul gen- eral here. ‘The sinking fund and interest on the 5 per cent funding loans of those two years will be paid in cash, the statement said. The action is being taken, it was explained, because of “the impossibility of acquiring foreign exchange for the transfer of funds to the markets where the coupons of the external debt are payable.” ‘The scrip, bearing interest at 5 per cent, will be divided into two series. e i Man Killed by Engine.
