Eooles, Governor, Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D.C. Dear Go»/ernor Ecoles: Yesterday I reoeived your letter of February 27th, with which you enclosed a copy of your address at Columbus, Ohio on February 12th, mailed to First Milton National Bank, Milton, Pennsylvania of -which institution I am the President, reprinted from the Congressional Record of February 14th, for whioh kindly aooept my thanks. Shortly after its introduction on February 5th, 1935 I received a copy of House Bill 5357 whioh I read very carefully and I must say that I was inclined to criticize Title II but I decided to "withhold criticism until I had an opportunity to further study and disouss the Bill and I not only refrained from passing judgment on it but I used my influenoe as best I could to prevent opposing resolutions being adopted at five annual Pennsylvania Bankers Assooiation Group meetings held in February. I xvas successful in this connection at the meetings of Group Two, Group Three and Group Eight. Resolutions were adopted at the meetings of Group Five and Group Six. I do not know whether copies of these resolutions have oome to your attention or not. I have read and re-read your address and I am still withholding judgment. You have oertainly presented most convinding arguments and I congratulate you. If there are any late developments which you can consistently give me in connection with this Bill in order to bring my files to date I will appreciate it if you will let me have them* Respectfully yours, Chairman.
