BOARD OF G O V E R N O R S

X-9731

OF THE

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

:

WASHINGTON
ADDRESS

November 6, 1936

OFFICIAL C O R R E S P O N D E N C E
TO THE

BOARD

Dear Sir:
Inclosed are copies of a pamphlet issued by Editorial
Research Reports which it is believed will be of interest to
your officers and directors. This pamphlet is, I understand,
part of a service to newspaper editors supplied by an established, independent and non-political research organisation
here which made available to us enough copies of this report
so that we could distribute them among members of the Board
of Governors as well as among officers and directors of the
Federal reserve banks.
While the Board, of course, does not stand sponsor for
this material and it is not being sent to you with official
endorsement, it is believed that the contents of this report
are substantially correct. The only error noted by members of
the staff is a minor one to the effect that the recent suit
challenging the constitutionality of the Federal Reserve Act
was filed in Philadelphia, whereas, in fact, it was filed in
this jurisdiction.
Since numerous communications are received here as well
as at the banks raising questions which this report undertakes
to answer, it is felt that the material herein contained would
be informative and perhaps of some value in answering such inquiries in the future.
A limited number of additional copies are available to
us in case you should care to have a few more for distribution
within the bank.
Very truly yours,

Chester Morrill,
Secretary.
Inclosures.
TO ALL PRESIDENTS
