Mariner S. Eccles, Esq.,
Chairman, Board of Governors,
of the "ederal Reserve System,
Office of the Chairman,
Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. Eccles:
Thanks you so much for yours of the 20th instant,
I have taken the liberty of sending a copy of this
letter to Senator A. D. MoHae, pointing out to him that it
be treated as a personal message to me, which I am sure he
will respect, but I know he will be very pleased to have
the facts as stated by yourself.
I have long been a great admirer of your conception
of the form, creation, and use of money, but I have never
had the privilege of meeting you. The next time I am in
Washington I hope that I may have the privilege of a few
minutes of your time.
Somehow or other, I have the feeling that we in the
United States and Canada are facing a most critical period
in our economic development and expansion, and I cannot
help but feel that our success or failure is going to depend
to a very large degree upon our ability to manage the issue
and the circulation of the medium of exchange. At the present
moment I am not very optimistic as to what the outcome will be.
1.th best wishes snd thanks, I beg to remain,
Yours very sincerely,

}£y dear Senator;
May I take this occasion to thank you
for your letter of December 31* which deserved a
prompter acknowledgment and would have had one
but for the fact that I was absent from Washing**
ton during the holidays and have found an overcrowded desk on lay return.
I want saarely to say that I hope I may
have the opportunity of meeting you when you
have occasion to come to Washington and trust
you will not fall to let ae know when you nay
be visiting us.
Sincerely yours,

Honorable 0» G, MoGoer,
1*812 Belmont Avenue,
Vancouver, B. C ,
Canada.
