This is in further reference to your letter of August 18, 1942, inquiring as to whether·guarantee fees paid by
Federal Reserve Banks on advances made by them under Section
13b of the Federal Reserve Act and guaranteed by the War Department, Navy Department, or Maritime Commission should be
included with expenses or deducted from gross earnings.
After further· reviGwing this matter, it seems to us
on the whole that iJUch fees should be deducted from gross
earnings a11d it will be appreciatea if you will have them so
deducted in reports submitted to the Board by your Bank.
Very truly yours,

E. L. Smead, Chief,
Division of Bur.k Operations.
