Dear Sir: The Board is desirous of ascertaining the practice of local newspapers regard~ the use of matter appearing in the Federal Reserve Bulletin. As y~ know, the present practice of the Board is to issue first a preliminary press bulletin stating what the forthcoming ~ulletin will say on business conditions, which statement is followed within. a few days by a statement of the contents of the Bulletin, under the head~ing "Review of the Month", and then, when the Bulletin itself corres from the printer it is given to the newspaper men in order that they may piCk out such special features for publication as they may see fit. It is believed that this method has resulted in giving to the Bulletin better publicity than prevailed prior to the adoption of the present syst~• Will ~ou be good enough, thereforet to send to the Board clippings from the leading newspapers of your District, containing either editorials or news matte~ based on the contents of the Federal Reserve Bulle tin• . In this connection, will you please instruct that greater care be exercised in the selection of newspaper clippings for transmission to the Federal Reserve ibard. Xn some instahQes, we receive clippings from Federal Reserve Banks in the original ertvel~es in which they are transmitted to the B~nks by the clipping bureaus. lt is not the desire of the B6ard to receive all clippings merely mentioning the Federal Reserve System. What it does desire is, as above, all clippings bearing upon the Federal Reserve Bulletin and all editorial and~~rtinent news bearing on the Federal Reserve System as such, or, of oourse, particular Federal Reserve Banks .. We ·receive ma:qy Clippings in connection with the Liberty Loan Campaigns, in which the only reference made to the Federal Reserve System is that "Banks in the - - - District have subscribed,"etc. · Very truly yours, Secretary. 269 W.
