of Generel and Transcript as follows: r 16, 1915, w the grst’ of the establishment of tional Bayk act, and because of this fact and because of the great prom- is that the tun;:fdon- otlthed :Tietd reserve banks, properly developed, offer for the future business of the. United States, the operations of the first year of the banks’ existence .should be of general interest not only to the bankers of the country but to ! the business men as well, for, at best, | the banks are but servants of the com- ‘manflxl interests of the community, and what pi &« successful | achievement for one is of vital and ! essential interest to the other. ‘The federal reserve banks were es- tablished at a time in which the fi- ances of the world were in a state of unparalleled confusion because of the Buropean war. - General business in this country had been poor before the | breaking out of the war the last of July, 1914, and with the actual cat- astrophe upon us, affairs in the Unit- ed States became rapidly worse. Our domestic situation was most unsatis- | factory, particularly in the South which is dependent for. its commer- cial existence on the successful mark- eting of the cotton crop. Confronted with a’'crop of over 16,000,000 bales the cotton planters ware unable to sell it, and they were thregtened with the necessity of carrying over a larger amount of cotton than ever before. Be- cause of the fact that the farmers of the: Sq 80 into debt to their banks for the funds to plant and cultivate their crops they faced bankruptcy un- less some way could be found to re- lieve them of the embarrassment in which they found themselves .through their inability to sell their crop in the fall and liquidate the debt which they had created for its planting and culti- vation. Our foreign situation was al- most equally bad, for at the time of the outbreak of the war the United States was a heavy debtor to England, iprobably to the extent of $400,000,000 ‘or $500,000,000, and with the complete iinterruption of trans-oceanic com- merce we were unable to move our crops, particularly the cotton crop, to the Eurcpean markets to provide the ordinary means for paying our debts abroad. Resources Depleted. The resources of the banks of the country were very depleted so that by Auvgust 15, 1914, the banks of York. alone, were under their reserve ! requirements to the amount of $48,- . What Alfred L. Aiken Thinks of Promise for Future. R | so-callea s |a centralized New | extended through rediscount ,000, and this condition of string- cy existed to an almost equal de- very high flgure and accomm uon ‘was difficult to obtain at any price. Currency associations, under the terms of the Aldrich- Vtulm;l act, were promptly organized where this had not already been done, and rihe ‘emergency currency was is- sued under the terms of that act to tig emount of $386,000,000. In the face of !his domestic flltnlfim with our for- commerce at a standstill, the United States was under the necessity of paying its maturing debts abroad, and an English commission, headed by Sir George Paish, was sent here to grarnge for such payment, as, because of the war, England was, so far as possible, calling her outstanding credits. Under the old system provided by the National Bank Act the gold re- serves of the country were scattered through the vaults of the 7500 or more national banks and more twice as many state banks and trust companies. As a result of this lack ‘of centralization no great amount of gold was available at any one point ‘to meet the situation, whici was final- ‘ly met by the organization of a gold pool to the amount of $100,000,000, made up of voluntary subscriptions by the larger banks throughout the coun- try, which was placed at the disposal of a_committee to be used in meetinm ‘the Buropean demands. It is not my ‘purpose to enter upon the operations of this gold pool, but, obviously, such a voluntary association was hardly a safe dependence in times of emergen- Under these extraordinary condi- ‘tions - the federal reserve banks were opened ‘oniNovember 16, 1914, by order of the secretary of the treasury, In measuring the results of the first year's operations the purposes for Wwhich these banks are established should be kept in mind. They were to serve, in the first place, as a reser- voir for the accumulation of the gold reserves of the country, so that in times of stress instead of having out reserves scattered through the vaults of approximately twenty-five thous- and commercial banks there should be organization, which would take the gold from the smaller banks, where it wag_ of little use as a basis for credit, and that entirely local, and make it available as part of a great fund for use wherever and when- ever demand should arise. Further than this, the banks were to provide credit facilities for the national banks | of the country so that in time of strain and based on the gold reserve in the federal reserve banks credit could Do to e !
