HIE SECRETARY" OF THE TREASURY
WASHINGTON

December 2 0 ,

Dear Marriner:
I have your letter of December 16, 1%!}-, advising
that the supervision of indirect bank subscriptions in the
Sixth War Loan Drive was both difficult and harmful to
member bank relations with the Federal Reserve Banks and
suggesting that before the next War Loan Drive a meeting be
held with the Presidents of the various Federal Reserve
Banks and representatives of the Treasury and the Board of
Governors with a view to formulating a uniform program of
policing the subscriptions.
We shall, of course, be glad to have the meeting
suggested. If you will advise me the next time the
Presidents intend to be in town for one of their periodic
meetings, I shall be glad to arrange for such a meeting.

c

Sincerely yours,
(Signed)

H. Morgenthau, Jr.

Secretary of the Treasury.

Honorable Marriner S. Eccles
