Dear Mr. Eccles:
lour statement before the Banking and Currency
Committee of the Senate on the British loan is
the best reason for approving it that I have as
yet read* I hope that the Congress will have
sense enough to agree to it, but I am not sanguine
enough to expect anything good out of Congress —

Hon* M. S. Eccles, Chairman
Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System
Washington* D. C.

March 18, 1946.

Dear Mr. von Windegger:
Let me thank you for your letter of March
12 and your comment on my statement in regard to the
British loan.
Your reference to a certain appointment
naturally disturbs me very much because I have a high
opinion of your judgment, iae you know, and if reasons
exist for rejection of this appointment it would be a
surprise to me. My favorable opinion is based on statements of reliable friends .in whose judgment I have every
confidence.
Sincerely yours,

M. S. Eccles,
Chairman.

Mr. F. it. von Mndegger, President,
The Plaza Bank of St# Louis,
1230 Olive Street,
St. Louis, Missouri.
