SEELY January 19,1950 Hon Marriner S Eccles, Federal Reserve Board Washington 25, D # C # Dear Mr Eccles The American people are greatly indebted to you for your courageous efforts to stop inflation by control of consumer and commercial credit, through the Federal Reserve Board. Sen Douglas* Committee on Money, Credit and Fiscal Policies, fortunately accepted your viewpoint, as sound statesmanship. For eighteen years, with two exceptions, we have been passing the buck to Providence and the bill to ppsterity. That is enough for this century, at least, if America is to be the worldfs light house, and not bug house. You may be interested in enclosed leaflet on the Consumers1 Program.

Sincerely yours, M. S. Eccles. CM: am
