NATIONAL POWER POLICY COMMITTEE
INTERIOR BUILDING
WASHINGTON

December 20, 1937

Honorable Marriner S. Eccles,
Chairman, The Federal Reserve Board,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Eccles:
I have read with great interest your address before
the American Farm Bureau at Chicago on December 14. It is really
an excellent presentation and I hope it may serve to correct much
of the loose economic talk which we hear about the present re­
cession.
I hope you will continue to plug away at your thesis
that successful functioning of private enterprise depends upon a
price policy which will encourage a maximum interchange of goods
and services.




With the season*s best greetings, I am
lours sincerely,

Benjamin V. Cohen

Mr. Benjamin V. Cohen,
National Power Policy Committee,
Interior Building,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Cohen:
This is to thank you for your very kind
and thoughtful note of December 20th with reference
to my talk before the American Farm Bureau Federa­
tion at Chicago. Your generous comments are very
much appreciated. While this speech fell far short
of what 1 hoped it might be both as an analysis and
in its discussion of remedial measures, I am natur&lly much gratified to have your favorable opinion
of it so far as it went.
May I not add to this acknowledgement the
Season's Greetings and my earnest good wishes to you
for a Merry Christmas and a happy and successful New
Year.
Sincerely yours,

M. S. Iccles,
Chairman.
