Washin-ton, D.C.
Dear Senator ByrdS
1 appreciate your remembering me with a copy of your letter
to Honorable Marr&ner 3. ccles, Federal Reserve Chairman,dated
January l^th and on page k9paragraph 11, you make an exceedingly
important statement as follows:
"with the proper proportion among the different kinds
of industrial activity, the producers themselves will
clear the markets of th# goods that other producers create.*
You are absolutely, 100$ correct and I am thoroly convinced
that if the Federal Reserve System were directed by law to KEEP THE
PROPER PROPORTION in effect BY GRANTING CREDIT IN THAT PRQPORTIOH,
want in the midst of plenty and all the other unnatural phenomenon
with us today would evaporate into thin air.

Then government could

retire to us proper sphere and stay there*
It seems as plain as the nose on your face that until every
line of activity as well as

automobiles get their fair share of

the use of credit, HO ONE can be prosperous*

If building and new

busines had its share, do YOU think they would lagt
Sincerely yoursf

P.S. My father WAS James H. Price
