The| city bank was then required to keep & reserve of 25 per cent, of which it could deposit one-half in Chicago, St. Louis or New York (the central reserve cities), where the reserve re- quirement also wax 26 per cent, and| where the money stopped. Under the Federal Reserve bank | cepted, altho they made believe to} disapprove strongly, the cash re serve requirements were changed. Where a country bank was required to keep 15 per cent before, it now keeps only 12% per cent; where @ city bank was required to keep 25 ber cent, it now keéps only 15. By reducing the amount of cash required agninst deposits, the lend ing power of a dollar is increased. National banks are now required to deposit part of their cash with the Federal Reserve bank, in its region, instead of sending it thru the funnel to the three central reserve cities. Now suppose @ bank is all loaned |up; Chat a city national bank keep. jing 15 per cent reserve has loaned [$6,656 against each $1,000 cash in its poesearion, and @ sudden demand in made by depositors for, say, $25,000 To relieve this situation the bank 1s required to select from among its assets $25,000 worth of drafts, bills of exchange and merchants’ notes, Baptist Pastor Editor The Star: Kindly allow me to answer H. Elwood tn his charge of the Baptists being “narrow. minded” and a “menace” because the Northern Baptist convention went on record against the movies. First let me say it is sometimes hard for an unsaved worldly man to get the viewpoint of a Christian as to why they do not go after everything that has @ good appear ance. I can take our offended friend to the garbage can on the public market and show him some pertectly good fruit in that can; and in spite of the fact that it is good, he will not eat it, nor allow his children to do so. And if this ts not so with FL Eh wood, if Wo is too broad-minded for | that, there are thousands of narrow- minged people in this eity who are not ashamed of their narrowness in this respect.

The Federal Reserve bank is not a gov ernment owned institution, as the name might imply, but is owned ab. solutely by the various national banks tn the region In which it ts located, and managed jointly by its owners and a federal reserve board at Washington, D.

Therefore it Is obvious ff a bank j!s unable to provide 100 per cent |commercial paper thaturing within {90 days, and 40 per cent cash, of the jamount required to maintain its ol vency, there is no alternative but to jclose its doors. In such cases the ‘ederal rewerve act, In effect, has permitted the city banker to let loome 10 per cent and the country banker 2% per cent of the reserve funds required under the old na tional bank act, which ts a decided benefit to the bankers but works against the depositors because of the smaNer amount held in reserve against deposits.
