Marriner S. Eccles
Chairman
Federal Reserve Board
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Eccles:
Allow me to congratulate you on the ideas advanced
by you recently before the National Association of Supervisors of
State Banks. Especially needed in these times were your comments
with regard to the ratio of spending on military forces to the
amounts to "be made available "to maintain peace through provision
of food and productive facilities. *
We do not hear enough of this kind of talk in high
circles in Washington today. That your voice, carrying the weight
that it does, should bring this message at this time is, indeed,
fortunate.
I would appreciate a copy of the text of the speech,
if one is easily available.
Sincerely yours

JMRîel
