Eccles, Governor, Federal Reserve Board* Washington» JB*C* Dear G o v e rn o r Ecclest Yesterday I reoeived your letter of February 27th, with which you enclosed a copy of your address at Columbus, Ohio on February 12th, sailed to First Hilton National Bank, Milton, Pennsylvania of whieh insti tution * a® the President, reprinted from the Congressional Record of February 14th, for whieh kindly accept my thanks* Shortly after its introduction on February 5th, 1935 I reoeived copy of I&use Bill 5357 whieh I read very carefully and 1 must say that I was inclined to criticise Title II but I decided to withhold criticism until I had an opportunity to further study and discuss the Bill and I not only refrained from passing judgment on it but I used my influence as best I could to prevent opposing resolutions being adopted at five annual Pennsylvania Bankers Association Group meetings held in February* I was successful in this connection at the meetings of Group Two, Group Three and Group Eight* Resolutions were adopted at the meetings of Group Five and Group Six* I do not know whether copies of these resolutions have come to your attention or not* a I have read and re-read your address and I am still withholding judgment* Tou have certainly presented most convincing arguments and I congratulate you. If there are any late developments which you can con sistently give me in connection with this Bill in order to bring my files to date I will appreciate it if you will let me have them* Respectfully yours, w w w /f f . Chairman*
