LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM,
Washington, May 5, 1936.
The
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Pursuant to the requirements of section 10 of the Federal Reserve
Act, as amended, I have the honor to submit the Twenty-second
Annual Report, prepared by direction of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System, covering operations during the calendar
year 1935.
Yours respectfully,
M. S. ECCLES, Chairman.
ANNUAL KEPOKT OF THE BOAED OF GOVERNORS OF THE
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
For the Federal Reserve System an outstanding development of
the year was the enactment of the Banking Act of 1935 which made
important amendments in the Federal Reserve Act. The new law
represents a recognition of broader functions of the System as a
factor in the country's economic life and emphasizes and clarifies
the distribution of responsibility between the component parts of
the System. It preserves the autonomy of the regional banks in
matters of local concern, but places responsibility for national monetary and credit policies on the Board of Governors and the Federal
Open Market Committee.
In the credit situation important developments during 1935 were
a further growth of bank reserves, resulting from a continued inflow
of gold that was due chiefly to- a movement of foreign capital to the
United States. Bank deposits increased, reflecting in part the gold
inflow but in larger part expenditure by the United States Government of funds raised through the sale of its obligations to banks.
Banks increased their other investments as well, and their loans,
following declines in earlier years, showed a small growth. Rates
charged customers by member banks in leading cities declined during
the year and open-market money rates and yields on high-grade
bonds remained at near the low levels reached early in the year.
The large volume of deposits accumulated in the financial centers
and the inflow of capital from abroad were important factors in the
activity of the security markets during the year. There was more
extensive use of available investment funds than in other recent
years. Prices of securities rose sharply and trading on stock exchanges increased, but there was little growth in the amount of
bank credit used in the stock market until the last 2 months of the
year. New security issues were in larger volume than in the 4
preceding years, but were almost entirely for the purpose of refunding at lower interest rates previously existing obligations. Issues to obtain new capital showed some increase but continued small
in total amount as compared with predepression years. The small
volume of issues to obtain new capital reflected the fact that the
1
2
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
accumulated cash resources of business were nearly sufficient to
finance such expansion as business recovery made necessary.
In business there were further increases in production, especially
in the durable-goods industries, larger sales of goods to consumers,
little evidence of accumulation of inventories, relatively stable commodity prices at a level higher than in 1934, and an increase in profits
of corporations. Improvement was widespread, but the volume of
business remained substantially belowT the level attained before the
depression and unemployment continued large. The principal elements of the national income, however—earnings of workers in
industry and trade, agricultural income, and corporate profits—
showed increases during the
FEDERAL RESERVE POLICY
Federal Reserve policy during 1935 continued to be directed
toward monetary ease. In the first 5 months of the year eight Federal Reserve banks reduced discount rates to 2 percent and one to
iy2 percent. After these reductions rates were 1% percent at the
Federal Reserve banks of New York and Cleveland and 2 percent at
the other 10 Reserve banks. These rates were continued through the
remainder of the year, as there were no developments in the business
and credit situation which warranted a change in existing policy
with respect to discount rates. Minimum rates on industrial advances were also reduced at three Reserve banks in 1935. Following
passage of the Banking Act of 1935 revising provisions of section
10 (b) of the Federal Reserve Act under which advances may be
made to member banks, each Federal Reserve bank established a rate
on such advances of one-half of 1 percent in excess of the discount
rate. These rates represented a considerable reduction from the
levels in effect at the time the previous provisions of section 10 (b)
expired on March 3, 1935.
In November the Board of Governors announced that effective
January 1, 1936, maximum rates of interest that could be paid on
time and savings deposits by member banks would be 1 percent
on time deposits payable in less than 90 days, 2 percent on time
deposits payable in less than 6 months and not less than 90 days,
and 2y2 percent on all other time deposits and on savings deposits.
A uniform maximum of 2y2 percent had been in effect on all time
and savings deposits since February 1, 1935. Previously the rate had
been 3 percent.
In view of the large and growing volume of excess reserves, no
further action directed toward obtaining easier money conditions
was necessary during 1935. On the contrary, the continued growth
of excess reserves raised the question of taking measures to reduce
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
3
them. In the last 2 months of 1935 total reserves of member banks
averaged about $5,700,000,000, required reserves about $2,700,000,000,
and excess reserves about $3,000,000,000, while holdings of United
States Government securities by the Federal Reserve banks -totaled
$2,400,000,000. Thus excess reserves substantially exceeded the total
amount of open-market securities held by the Reserve banks and
were likewise in excess of $2,700,000,000, the amount by which reserve requirements could at that time be increased under the law,
which provides that requirements can be raised to not more than
double existing requirements.
In the latter part of the year the Board gave frequent consideration to probable future changes in the volume of excess reserves, to
possibilities of excessive credit expansion on the basis of these reserves, to methods of reducing the reserves and controlling credit
expansion, and to the proper timing of such action. After a meeting
of the Board of Governors with the Federal Open Market Committee
on December 17 and 18, at which these matters were considered, the
Board and the Committee issued the following statement:
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and
the Federal Open Market Committee have given extended consideration to the general business and credit situation and to
the recommendation of the Federal Advisory Council and are of
the opinion:
1. That continued improvement has been made in business
and financial conditions but that the country is still short of a
full recovery.
2. That the primary objective of the System at the present
time is still to lend its efforts to a furtherance of recovery.
3. That there is at the present time no evidence of overexpansion of business activity or of the use of business credit.
4. That the present volume of member bank reserves, which
have been greatly increased by imports of gold from abroad,
continues to be excessive, far beyond the present or prospective
requirements of credit for sound business expansion.
Therefore, the special problem created by the continuing excess of reserves has had and wTill continue to have the unremitting study and attention of those charged with the responsibility for credit policy in order that appropriate action may be
taken as soon as it appears to be in the public interest.
During the course of the year the Board took action on a number of other questions of policy not directly concerned with interest
rates, open-market operations, or member bank reserves. The more
important of these actions are described in other appropriate sections of this report. A record of all actions taken by the Board on
4
ANNUAL, REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
matters of policy on and after August 23, 1935, together with reasons
for such actions, is given in an appendix to this report, which is
presented in accordance with the provisions of section 10 of the
Federal Reserve Act, as amended by the Banking Act of 1935.
During the year the Federal Open Market Committee held four
meetings and its executive committee held a number of interim meetings. Matters relating to the size, composition, and distribution of
the System investment account, to the problem of excess reserves,
to new United States Government security issues, and to other aspects of the business and credit situation were discussed at these
meetings. Recommendations were made regarding changes in securities held in the System account and regarding transfers of participations among the various Federal Reserve banks. No specific
changes were recommended as to the total amount of securities to
be held in the account. In accordance with the provisions of section
10 of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended by the Banking Act of
1935, a record of actions taken by the Open Market Committee from
August 23, 1935, to the end of the year is published in the appendix
to this report.
INDUSTRIAL ADVANCES BY FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the year 1935 the Federal Reserve banks received approximately 2,500 applications for industrial advances under the provisions of section 13b of the Federal Reserve Act. This is a little less
than half the number received in the 6 months following the enactment on June 19, 1934, of the amendment empowering the Reserve
banks to make such advances. The amount of applications received
in 1935 was $116,000,000, compared with $190,000,000 in 1934. The
Federal Reserve banks approved 973 applications during 1935 representing an aggregate of $72,000,000, as against 1,020 applications in
1934 for an aggregate of $52,000,000. In other words, although the
number and amount of applications received in 1935 was much less
than in 1934, the number of applications approved was nearly as
large and the amount approved was considerably larger than in 1934.
The smaller proportion of approvals in 1934 was due largely to the
fact that, during the first few months of operation under the new authorization, a relatively large proportion of the applications were
found to be either unsatisfactory credit risks or ineligible under the
law.
The total amount of applications approved by the Federal Reserve
banks up to the end of 1935 was $124,000,000, including $26,000,000
conditionally approved. The largest amount of advances and commitments outstanding at any one time has been $61,000,000, but the
total of such credit actually made available to borrowers up to the
ANNUAL REPORT OE FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
5
end of 1935 (including $3,000,000 of approved advances and commitments in process of completion) was $98,000,000, part of which had
been repaid, part unused, and part advanced by participating institutions.
Vigorous steps were taken by the System to inform the public
that working capital advances might be made by the Federal Reserve banks directly to borrowers. It was realized at the outset
that the new facilities offered by the Federal Reserve banks for
making loans for working capital purposes must be actively
brought to the attention of potential borrowers, since the general
public was not accustomed to dealing with the Federal Reservebanks nor was it aware of the fact that these banks might now make
direct loans to industrial and commercial concerns. Articles descriptive of the facilities which the Federal Reserve banks have for
making industrial loans appeared during the year in magazines,,
newspapers, and trade papers. Radio talks were also made, and
pamphlets were issued by various Federal Reserve banks.
Through the medium of conferences in Washington and visits by
a member of the Board to the Federal Reserve banks, the Board has
kept closely in touch with the work of the Reserve banks and industrial advisory committees on industrial loans.
Before making advances directly to borrowers the Federal Reserve banks usually encourage local banks to make the advances
under protection of commitments from the Federal Reserve banks,
or to participate with the Federal Reserve banks in the advances that
they make. A commitment, as authorized by the law, obligates a
Federal Reserve bank, upon request of the financing institution, to
discount or purchase an obligation representing an advance by that
institution for the purpose of furnishing working capital to an
established business. The Reserve bank, in assuming such an obligation, will obligate itself for as much as 80 percent of any loss
thereon. The commitment, therefore, assures the local bank of the
loan's liquidity, and protects it against a loss in excess of 20 percent
of the loan.
BANKING ACT OF 1935
Important amendments were made in the Federal Reserve Act
by the Banking Act of 1935, which was signed by the President on
August 23. The act incorporates into law much of the experience
acquired by the System during the more than two decades of its
operation. It reflects a broader conception of the System's functions
in the country's economic life than existed at the time the System
was established, and it defines more clearly and fixes more firmly
the responsibilities of the Board in Washington and of the regional
Reserve banks. It permanently removes from the operations of the
6
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
Federal Reserve banks and the member banks some of the restrictions which at critical times prevented them from effectively rendering the services for which they were established, and it clarifies and
simplifies a number of features of the administration of the System.
The more important provisions relating to the Federal Reserve
System are contained in title I I of the act. Title I revises the provisions relating to the insurance of deposits, and title I I I contains
many clarifications and improvements in the technical provisions of
existing banking law. The principal provisions of the act are discussed more fully in a subsequent section of this Annual Report.
Title I I provides for reconstitution of the Federal Reserve Board
under the name of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System with longer terms and larger salaries for its members. As
reconstituted effective February 1, 1936, the Board, instead of consisting of six appointive members and the Secretary of the Treasury and the Comptroller of the Currency as ex-officio members, will
have seven appointive members and no ex-officio members. The law
provides for reorganization of the Federal Open Market Committee
as of March 1, 1936, to consist of the seven members of the Board of
Governors and five representatives of the Federal Reserve banks, instead of, as previously, one representative from each of the 12 Federal Reserve banks. This change, together with other powers vested
in the Board, places greater responsibility for the exercise of national
credit policies upon the Board of Governors. The law, however,
preserves the local autonomy of the regional banks in their dealings
and relations with the member banks in their respective districts, and
provides for participation of representatives of the regional banks in
the formulation of national monetary and credit policies.
Other provisions broaden the lending powers of the Federal Reserve banks by permitting them to make advances to member banks
on paper heretofore ineligible except in exceptional circumstances
and liberalize the conditions under which national banks may make
loans on real estate. The act clarifies and alters the power of the
Board to change reserve requirements of member banks and provides for periodic review by the Board of discount rates established
by the Reserve banks. Changes are also made in the administrative
organization of the Federal Reserve banks.
The act provides that the Board shall keep a complete record of
actions taken by the Board and the Federal Open Market Committee
upon all questions of policy relating to open-market operations, including votes taken and a statement of reasons underlying the action,
and that the Board shall also keep a similar record with respect to
all questions of policy determined by the Board and shall include

The record of actions taken on questions of policy, as required by
the law, for the period from the date of the passage of the act,
August 23, 1935, to the end of the year, is published as an appendix
to this report. Discussion of the more important of these actions
is included in the appropriate sections of this report.
After the passage of the banking act, the Board gave consideration to revision of its regulations affected by provisions of the
act. Before the end of the year revisions of five existing regulations
and one new regulation were issued. These regulations are discussed in a subsequent section of this report, and the considerations
governing the Board in their adoption are given in the record of
policy actions published in the appendix.
INCREASE IN GOLD AND SILVER RESERVES
Monetary reserves of the country were further increased during
J935 by gold imports and Treasury silver purchases. In the 2
years 1934 and 1935 the gold stock showed an increase of $6,100,000,000, of which about $2,800,000,000 represents the increment accruing to the Treasury from revaluation of gold on January 31,
1934, from $20.67 per ounce to $35 per ounce. This increment has
not yet increased member bank reserves to a material extent, for
$1,800,000,000' of it is still held in the stabilization fund and the remaining $1,000,000,000 is either in the general fund of the Treasury
or has been utilized in ways that for the most part have left member bank reserves unaffected. One of these ways—the use of part of
the gold increment for retiring national bank notes—is described on
page 27. Disregarding the gold increment resulting from revaluation, additions to gold and silver stocks affecting member bank reserves during the 2 years amounted to $3,900,000,000, of which $200,000,000 represents gold acquired by the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and the Treasury before revaluation in January 1934,
but not taken up into gold stock Until that time, and $600,000,000.,
the issuance of silver certificates and coins.
The growth of $3,100,000,000 in the monetary gold stock of the
United States in the period of less than two years since revaluation
was unprecedented in the history of the country. During the 20
years 1914-33, which included the great movements of the war and
post-war periods, gold stock increased by $2,400,000,000. In part the
difference is accounted for by the higher price at which gold now
enters into the account, but a more important feature has been the
unprecedented volume of the gold flow, even when measured in
ounces.
Factors behind gold and silver movement.—Additions to the monetary
gold and silver stocks since revaluation, totaling $3,700,000,000, were
8
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
to the extent of $400,000,000 of domestic origin, such as mine output
of the metals, sale of scrap gold by the public, and nationalization of
silver holdings. The remaining $3,300,000,000 came from abroad.
The sustained movement of gold from abroad, notwithstanding the
heavy purchases of silver by the Treasury, was the outcome of several
factors in the international balance of payments of the United States.
Chief among these factors were an influx of capital from foreign
centers and, to a less extent, a surplus of merchandise exports.
Surplus of merchandise exports.—Reduction in the gold content
of the dollar came after the value of the dollar on the exchanges had
declined, with a consequent stimulus to exports. In the closing
months of 1934, however, with decreased supplies resulting from
the drought and from production-control measures and with the
advance in agricultural prices, exports of farm products diminished, though exports of manufactured goods continued to
increase. There was also a considerable growth of imports,,
reflecting in part the agricultural situation and in part the effects of
recovery in this country both on the demand for imported raw materials by industry and on the demand for other imported commodities by the American public. As a consequence, the export surplus
that developed in the year ending October 1934 to the amount of
$510,000,000 was reduced to $180,000,000 in the succeeding 12 months.
In the closing months of 1935, however, a substantial increase in
several agricultural exports and the continued widening of the market
for American industrial products abroad led to the largest surplus of
merchandise exports since 1930. For the entire period from revaluation to the end of 1935, exports exceeded imports by nearly $700,000,000.
Inflow of capital.—A far larger part of the imports of gold and
silver since January 1934 is attributable to the influx of capital from
abroad. The heavy inward movement of capital immediately following revaluation represented in part the return of funds that
had been transferred abroad in 1933. But there were also political
difficulties in France at the time such as have dominated other periods of international capital movements. A special problem has been
created for the gold-bloc countries as a group by the general abandonment elsewhere in the world of previously existing exchange
parities and the introduction of exchange controls by several countries that still officially adhere to the old parities. A series of crises
has occurred, differing in intensity, but each characterized by a sharp
outward movement of capital and gold from the gold-bloc countries.
The most general movement of this sort, although not the firstr
occurred in the spring of 1935 after Belgium had devalued its currency. During the ensuing movement Switzerland, the Netherlands,.
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
9
and France lost large amounts of gold. In July and again in September there were further gold withdrawals from the Netherlands
as a result of political difficulties connected with the Government's
economy program. When the substance of this program was approved early in October, the movement of gold was reversed; but
in November a similar crisis developed in France during the preparations for the meeting of the French Parliament at the end of the
month to debate the 1936 budget. With settlement of the most pressing fiscal and political issues the capital outflow ceased.
In addition to the recurrent difficulties of the gold-bloc currencies
other factors operated upon the flow of capital to the United States
in 1935. At the beginning of the year the approaching adjudication
of the gold-clause cases by the Supreme Court led to a movement of
capital to this country. Little of this capital went abroad again
after the Court's decisions were handed down, because the European
difficulties that preceded the gold-bloc crisis in the spring were
already developing. Later in the year another factor became operative in the growing tension in Europe over the Ethiopian situation.
A transfer of liquid balances from London to New York began in
September and reached its height early in October. The nationals of
many countries who had employed London as a financial center, as
well as the British themselves, were active in the movement.
Toward the end of October this movement subsided, but the continuance of disturbed conditions abroad militated against a return
flow of the balances during the remainder of the year.
Another type of movement developed in 1935 and was continuing
on a substantial scale at the end of the year. Foreign purchases of
American secur~4ies began to exceed sales in May 1935. The intensification of this movement in the autumn may be attributable in some
degree to disturbed political conditions abroad, but the movement
as a whole appears to reflect a feeling among foreign investors that
an opportunity for profitable investment of their funds is offered
by the American market. In the final month of the year it was the
sustained purchases of securities in this country by foreign interests
that more than offset a small withdrawal of foreign balances and
continued the net inward movement of capital which had characterized the year.
World gold supplies.—The increase in the monetary gold stock of
the United States in the period of nearly 2 years since revaluation
has not meant a corresponding decline in central gold reserves abroad.
While gold was being shipped to the United States it was being produced by the world's mines at the rate of $1,000,000,000 a year and
the Indian public continued to make sales from the accumulated
hoards of the past.
56048—36

10
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
This was in contrast to the situation that existed before the depression. For a number of years before the depression, world gold production, valued on the old par basis, was at a rate of about $400,000,000
a year. Of this amount from $100,000,000 to $200,000,000 was annually taken for industrial uses or for Indian hoards, leaving $300,000,000 or less available for central reserves. Today the sale of
Indian gold exceeds the demand for industrial uses, and mining output has not only increased b}r 50 percent in terms of ounces, but an
ounce of gold is now the equivalent of $35 instead of $20.67. Except
as hoarding develops in Europe, therefore, the amount of new gold
available for central gold reserves exceeds $1,000,000,000 a year.
As a result of this situation the increase of $3,100,000,000 in monetary gold stocks of the United States in the period from February 1,
1934, to the end of 1935, was accompanied by a decline of only $1,100,000,000 in the gold reserves of foreign central banks. The larger
part of this decline occurred in gold reserves of the Bank of France,
although there were also substantial reductions in central reserves of
the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Italy.
Silver purchases.—The increase of $600,000,000 in silver certificates
and coin in the United States in 1934 and 1935 reflected, in the main,
operations carried out in accord with the silver-buying program
of the Government. Up to December 27, 1935, acquisitions of
silver, as announced by the Treasury, amounted to 835,000,000 ounces, of which 59,000,000 ounces were received from domestic mines, 112,000,000 ounces represented the nationalization of
silver in the United States on August 9, 1934, and 664,000,000 ounces
were purchased abroad under authority of the Silver Purchase Act.
The two principal sources of American silver acquisitions have
been new production and withdrawals from Chinese stocks. The
bulk of this silver has been bought in the London market, where
Treasury operations were the dominant factor during most of 1935,
but considerable amounts of silver have been shipped direct to the
United States from Mexico, Canada, and other producing countries, and during 1934 direct importations from China were in substantial volume. The direct shipment of silver from China to the
United States ceased soon after the Chinese Government in October
1934 imposed prohibitive charges on silver exports, but the drain
of silver from China was not stopped by this action. The subsequent depreciation of the yuan against its theoretical silver parity
provided a strong incentive to smuggle silver out of the country, and
during 1935 the amount of Chinese silver that reached the London
silver market through various channels was comparable in volume to
the supplies from this source in 1934. Effective November 4, 1935,
the Chinese Government issued a series of decrees providing for the
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
11
compulsory delivery of all silver coin and bullion to the Government
and for the issue of an inconvertible paper currency to be managed
with the object of maintaining a stable value for the yuan in terms of
foreign currencies. The effect of these measures was to remove China
definitively from the silver standard. Subsequently the profit on
smuggling silver out of China was largely eliminated by the sharp
decline in the world market price for silver.
MEMBER BANK RESERVES
Growth of reserves in 1935.—As a result of the increase in gold and
silver stock, the reserves of the Federal Reserve banks and the reserve balances of member banks increased further by large amounts
in 1935. as in 1934. Member bank reserve balances showed a growth
of $1,500,000,000 in 1935. The increase in reserve funds resulting
from the growth of $1,900,000,000 in the country's monetary gold
stock and of $400,000,000 in silver money was partly offset by reductions in reserves arising from increases of $350,000,000 in the
amount of money in circulation, of $400,000,000 in funds held by the
Treasury on deposit in the Reserve banks, and of nearly $100,000,000
in nonmember deposits and other accounts at the Reserve banks.
The net increase of $1,500,000,000 in total reserve balances was
partly absorbed by an increase of nearly $500,000,000 in reserve requirements in consequence of a continued growth of member bank
deposits, and excess reserves showed an increase of more than
$1,000,000,000.
Early in December excess reserves reached a total of $3,300,000,000,
a new high level in the history of the Federal Reserve System, but in
the 10 days preceding Christmas a large increase in Treasury deposits at Reserve banks, arising from the sale of new securities and
income-tax receipts, together with seasonal currency withdrawals, resulted in a decrease of over $600,000,000 in member bank reserves.
This reduction had no effect on the money market, and before the
end of the year the return flow of currency increased the bank's
reserve funds. At the end of December excess reserves amounted to
$2,850,000,000, and early in January 1936 they again exceeded
$3,000,000,000.
Changes in reserve situation since 1929.—Growth of bank reserves was
a part of a series of developments that, since the reversal of Federal
Reserve policy in the latter part of 1929, have been contributing to
easier money conditions. The nature of these changes is shown in
part on the accompanying chart.
At various times between the autumn of 1929 and the end of 1933
the Reserve banks purchased $2,300,000,000 of Government obligations. Not all of this amount, however, constituted a net addition to

•member bank reserves. The major part of the reserves thus made
available was utilized by member banks to reduce indebtedness to
the Reserve banks in existence at the beginning of the period and
incurred during the depression at times of currency and gold withdrawals. The more important net changes for the period as a whole
were a decrease of nearly $900,000,000 in member bank borrowings,
an increase of about $1,000,000,000 in currency in circulation, and an
increase in member bank reserves of $400,000,000. Since, however,
:as shown in the second chart, required reserves of the member banks
had declined by $400,000,000 as a result of the decline in deposits,

member banks had more than $800,000,000 of excess reserves at the
end of 1933. This was a much larger volume of excess reserves than
had ever before been held by member banks. These excess reserves
should be compared with a portfolio of $2,400,000,000 of Government securities which were available for sale in the open market if
absorption of reserves should become desirable.
This was the situation at the end of 1933. During the next 2
years the relationship between the Federal Reserve banks and the
money market was fundamentally altered. Because of developments previously explained, excess reserves increased from $800,000,000 to about $3,000,000,000, while the portfolio of Government securities of the Federal Reserve banks remained at $2,400,000,000. It is
14
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
partly for this reason that Congress gave to the Board the power
to absorb excess reserves through increasing reserve requirements
for member banks to a maximum of double the percentages prevailing in 1935, thus providing the Board with an additional instrument
for preventing injurious credit expansion.
Distribution of member bank reserves.—All classes of member banks
in all Federal Reserve districts held reserves in excess of requirements
throughout 1935. On December 31, 1935, total reserve balances held
with Federal Reserve banks by member banks were more than
double the amount required. As shown in the following table, the
percentage of total to required reserves of all member banks was 204
percent, as compared with 177 percent at the begining of the year.
Similar percentages by classes of banks and by districts as of December 31, 1935, ranged from 110 percent at reserve city banks in
the New York district to almost 300 percent at country banks in the
Minneapolis, Kansas City, and Dallas districts.

The increase in the percentage of total to required reserves was
largest at New York City banks, -while at Chicago banks there was a
slight decline. Country banks in all districts showed substantial
increases, owing in large part to the reduction in required reserves
that resulted from changes under the Banking Act of 1935 in the
method of calculating net demand deposits, described on page 18.
The increase in the percentage of total to required reserves for all
reserve city banks was relatively small, and in the Minneapolis,.
Kansas City, Dallas, and San Francisco districts decreases were
shown in the percentages for banks in this class.
Since, as previously explained, the increase in member bank reserve balances during 1935 arose mostly from gold imports, additional reserve funds were generally received first by banks in New
York City. A large part of these reserves were widely distributed
among banks in other sections by the flow of payments from one
region to another. An important factor in this flow of payments
was the investment by banks in Government obligations and the
expenditure of the proceeds by the Treasury, which thus gradually
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
15
transferred the funds to other banks and to other sections of the
country. Reserve city banks and country banks held a part of the
reserve funds thus acquired in the form of excess reserves, invested
another part, and deposited the remainder with correspondent
banks.
The table shows changes in loans and investments and reserves of
the three principal classes of member banks during 1935; figures
showing changes in the various types of deposits at these banks are

A large part of the increase in reserve balances with Federal Reserve banks was at central reserve city banks (New York and Chicago), while country banks, where the increase in reserve balances
was smaller, showed a substantial growth in balances held with
other banks. At reserve city banks the total increase in balances
held with the Federal Reserve banks and with other banks was relatively smaller than at other classes of banks.
City banks used a considerable part of their surplus funds in the
purchase of investments, mostly United States Government securities.
Country banks, on the other hand, which showed a smaller increase
in investments and a decline in loans, deposited with other banks the
larger part of the increase in their available funds. Country banks,
therefore, had available a larger volume of idle funds than is indicated by the figures for excess reserves, while a large part of the
excess reserves of the central reserve city banks in New York and
Chicago represented redeposited idle funds held for country banks,
the withdrawal of which would reduce the excess reserves of the
central reserve city banks. Reserve city banks also held a substantial
amount of balances due to banks, which increased in 1935 and which
might be considered as an offset to their excess reserves and balances
with other banks.
16
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
Keserve position of individual member banks.—Substantial excess reserves were held in 1935 not only by the various groups of banks but
also by the majority of individual banks. With a view to determining the reserve position of individual member banks and the possible
effect upon them of an increase in reserve requirements, the Board
of Governors made a study of required and excess reserves of each
member bank on the basis of the call reports of November 1, 1935.
Between that date and the end of the year there wTas little change
in the total volume of excess reserves and probably few important
changes in the distribution of these reserves among individual banks.
These reports showed that on November 1 about 4,200 of the total
of 6,400 member banks held reserve balances that were 50 percent or
more in excess of reserve requirements. The following table shows
a distribution of the number of central reserve city, reserve city, and
country banks according to the ratio of excess reserves to required
reserves.

On the basis of these figures it appears that the proportion of
member banks holding a large amount of excess reserves was greater
among country banks than among city banks. The number of banks
with excess reserves of 100 percent and over amounted to 47 percent
for country banks, 33 percent for central reserve city banks, and 30
percent for reserve city banks. About 19 percent of all country
member banks held reserves that were less than 25 percent in excess
of requirements, while about 35 percent of central reserve city and
reserve city banks were in this group.
In view of the fact that many banks had deposited, a large part
of their available funds with other banks and could transfer these
funds to the Federal Reserve banks in case additional reserves were
needed to meet an increase in reserve requirements, attention was
also given to the amount of demand balances carried by member
banks on deposit with other domestic banks. Such balances do not
represent additional reserves of member banks taken as a whole,
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
17
but may be a means of shifting reserves from one bank or group of
banks to another.
Of the 1,283 banks which would have had to increase their reserves to meet a 25-percent increase in reserve requirements, all but
41, as shown in the following table, had balances with correspondent
banks sufficient to supply the additional reserves required. Of all
the member banks 345, or 5 percent, had excess reserves plus balances with other banks insufficient to meet an increase of 100 percent in reserve requirements, while 6,055 banks had excess reserves
and other balances sufficient to meet such an increase.

As already shown, there were 1,283 member banks on November 1
which were either deficient in reserves or held excess reserve balances
amounting to less than 25 percent of required reserves. The amount
of additional reserves that these banks would have needed in case
of a 25-percent increase in reserve requirements was $95,000,000 in
the aggregate, representing 2 percent of the total volume of reserve
balances held by member banks on that date. Of this total
$22,500,000 would have been needed by central reserve city banks in.
New York, $14,000,000 by other banks in the New York district,
and $15,000,000 by banks in the San Francisco district. But, as
explained, all but 41 banks had sufficient balances on deposit with
correspondent banks to supply these needs. These 41 banks would
have needed $13,000,000, in addition to their balances with correspondents, to meet a 25 percent increase in requirements.
To provide all banks with excess reserves of 50 percent, i. e., to
enable them to meet a 50-percent increase in reserve requirements,
the 2,239 banks that were short of the necessary reserves on November
1, 1935, needed additional reserves of $266,000,000, and, if bank
balances had been used in full, 112 banks would still have needed
$50,000,000. To meet an increase of 100 percent in reserve requirements, nearly $800,000,000 additional reserves would have been
needed by 3,466 banks, and, if other bank balances were employed
18
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
for the purpose, there would still have been 345 banks with an aggregate shortage of $240,000,000. Of this amount $200,000,000 would
have been required by banks in New York City.
These computations make no allowance for the effect upon banks
holding balances of other banks of the withdrawal of a part of such
balances. Eecognition would also need to be given to the fact that
banks would probably not wish to use all of their balances with
correspondents to build up reserve balances. Thus the amounts
which would have to be obtained by member banks in case of an
increase in reserve requirements would be somewhere between the
two sets of figures given above—those assuming no withdrawal of
bankers' balances and those assuming withdrawal of these balances
to the fullest extent needed.
Individual member banks needing additional reserves could borrow from the Federal Reserve banks, or they could obtain funds from
other banks holding large surplus reserves not only by drawing on
their balances but also by borrowing from them or by the sale to them
of marketable assets. The sale of assets to others than banks and the
calling of open-market loans would also redistribute reserve funds
among member banks.
New York City banks, which hold large balances for other banks
subject to withdrawal in case of need and which carry practically no
balances with other banks, have relatively large amounts of readily
marketable assets, such as Treasury bills, bankers' acceptances, and
brokers loans, which can be sold or called or allowed to run off without replacement at maturity. It is possible by this method for a
member bank in case of need to tap the large supply of excess reserves
held by other banks. Banking operations of this nature, as well as
the usual flow of payments in connection with governmental, commercial, industrial, and financial transactions, may considerably alter
the distribution of reserves among individual banks without changing the aggregate amount of reserve balances of all member banks.
Change in method of computing required reserves.—In the Banking Act
of 1935 a change was made in the method of computing net demand
deposits against which reserves must be carried by member banks
with Federal Reserve banks.
Previously net demand deposits were computed for each reporting
bank separately by adding to demand deposits, other than those of
banks and the United States Government, any excess of amounts due
to banks over amounts due from banks. The Banking Act of 1935
prescribes that reserves be carried by member banks against United
States Government deposits and permits deductions to be made from
gross demand deposits instead of only from balances due to banks.
As a consequence, when the new provisions went into effect on August 24, banks in New York City, which hold large Government
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
19
deposits, showed an increase in net demand deposits, while country
banks, whose balances due from banks exceed their balances due to
banks and their Government deposits, showed decreases.
It is estimated that as of June 29, 1935, the new method of computing net demand deposits would have resulted in a reduction of
about $35,000,000 in reserve requirements of all member banks.
Requirements of central reserve city banks would have been increased by $45,000,000, while those of country banks would have
been reduced by $75,000,000. Some reserve city banks would have
shown increases and others decreases, with a small decline in the
total for the group.
Late in November the Board issued a revised Regulation D relating
to reserves of member banks. This regulation incorporates the
•changes described above, and also, in accordance with the authority
conferred upon the Board by the Banking Act of 1935 to change reserve requirements, provides that the actual net balance which each
member bank is required to maintain on deposit with the Federal
Reserve bank of its district shall be changed by such percentage,
within the limits prescribed by law, as the Board shall prescribe
from time to time in order to prevent injurious credit expansion or
.contraction.
MEMBER BANK CREDIT
Part of the additional lending power obtained from the increase
in reserves was used by member banks during 1935 in the purchase
of investment securities and part was held as excess reserves. Investments were principally in direct and guaranteed obligations of
the United States. Deposits of individuals, partnerships, corporations, and local and State public bodies showed a further increase of about $3,800,000,000 during 1935, reflecting
principally the inflow of gold and Treasury expenditures from balances previously accumulated as well as from funds newly borrowed
from banks during the year. United States Government deposits
at member banks consequently declined. Interbank balances showed
a further substantial increase, reflecting the continued growth of
idle funds held by banks.
Xoans and investments.—Total loans and investments of all member
banks, as shown in the chart, increased by $1,835,000,000 during 1935.
The largest increase occurred in obligations fully guaranteed by the
United States Government, which rose by $780,000,000, while direct
obligations of the Government increased by $600,000,000 and other
securities by $310,000,000. Holdings of direct Government obligations by all member banks showed a smaller increase during the year
1935 than in any other year since 1930, owing in part to the retirement
of the bonds securing national bank notes, which bonds were almost

wholly held by banks. The increase in fully guaranteed obligations,,
which occurred in the first three-quarters of the year, reflected in
part exchanges of previously held securities guaranteed only as to
interest, that were retired during the year, in part exchanges for
mortgage loans held by the banks, and in part purchases from other
holders.
Loans to brokers and dealers in securities, which had shown little
change during the first 10 months of the year, increased by more than
$200,000,000 in the last 2 months, and loans to customers on securities,
which had declined steadily since 1930, showed little change in the
last few months of 1935. Other loans to customers, comprising prinALL MEMBER BANKS

Most of the increase in total loans and investments during 1935
was at central reserve and reserve city banks, which showed increases
in all three classes of investments and in loans to customers other than
on stocks and bonds. Brokers' loans increased at New York City
banks and declined at other banks, owing largely to an increase in
commissions charged by New York City banks for making such loans
for other banks. Country banks increased their holdings of Government-guaranteed obligations and of other securities, but showed
decreases in holdings of direct Government obligations, reflecting

Growth of member-bank deposits.—Deposits of the general public at
member banks increased by $3,840,000,000 during 1935 and at the
end of the year were $8,650,000,000 larger than in June 1933, the
report date showing the smallest total in the depression period.
Deposits of foreign banks, including balances due to own foreign
branches, increased by $350,000,000 in the year, and the excess of
deposits of domestic banks over balances due from domestic banks,
representing principally balances due to nonmember banks, increased
by about $500,000,000.
Thus during 1935 deposits at member banks of the public and of
nonmember and foreign banks showed a total growth of $4,700,000,000,
which was derived principally from the following sources: (1) The
increase of $1,900,000,000 in monetary gold stock, from which
should be deducted about $200,000,000 representing the withdrawal
of balances held abroad by member banks; (2) Treasury expenditures
of $800,000,000 withdrawn from their deposits with member banks,
of $600,000,000 derived from the increase in holdings of direct Government obligations by member banks, of $200,000,000 obtained by
sale of securities to the Postal Savings System in return for funds
withdrawn from member banks, and of $400,000,000 from silver
certificates issued; and (3) funds made available by member banks
by additional purchases of nearly $800,000,000 of fully guaranteed
Government obligations and by an increase of about $500,000,000
in their other loans and investments. The principal factor reducing
deposits was an increase of about $300,000,000 in money in circulation
outside of banks.
22
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
Adjusted demand deposits at member banks, representing the checking accounts of individuals, partnerships, corporations, and local and
State public bodies, increased by $3,100,000,000 in 1935. At the close
of the year they amounted to $18,800,000,000, as compared with
$12,100,000,000 at licensed member banks on June 30, 1933, the lowest point for any call-report date in recent years, and $16,600,000,000*
on December 31, 1929, the pre-depression maximum. Time deposits,,
other than balances of banks and of the Postal Savings System, increased by $730,000,000 in 1935 and on December 31 amounted to about
$10,000,000,000 as compared with $8,100,000,000 in June 1933 and
$12,900,000,000 at the end of 1929. United States Government deposits at member banks showed a decline of nearly $800,000,000 in
1935. There was also a decrease of $230,000,000 in postal-savings
deposits, representing funds withdrawn by the Postal Savings System,
because of the inability or unwillingness of banks to pay the required
rate of interest on these deposits. These funds were invested in Government obligations by the Postal Savings System.
Further growth in balances held for domestic banks, amounting to*
$1,140,000,000 for the year as a whole, reflected the continued abundance of funds available to banks. The total of these balances at the
year-end reached a new high level of $5,850,000,000. From 1922 to
1929 they generally fluctuated between $3,000,000,000 and $4,000,000,000. Balances of foreign banks increased by $300,000,000 during
1935 and amounts due to own foreign branches increased by $50,000,000. At the same time balances with banks in foreign countries
were reduced by $130,000,000 and amounts due from own foreign
branches by $90,000,000. These changes reflected the movement of
balances to this country from abroad by both domestic and foreign
holders, which was an important factor in the large gold imports
of 1935.

ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS

Adjusted demand deposits, figures of which were first published
by the Board in 1935, are computed by adding to demand deposits
other than those of banks and the United States Government the
items of certified and officers' checks and cash letters of credit and
travelers' checks outstanding and subtracting checks and other cash
items reported as on hand or in process of collection. Beginning
December 31, 1935, cash items on hand but not in process of collection, amounting to about $15,000,000, were reported separately and
on that date the figure for adjusted demand deposits was computed
without deducting that item. These collection items, given on the
asset side of the call report, show in part the amount of so-called
"float" outstanding, which varies considerably from time to time and
together with interbank balances involves a double counting of
deposits. Cash items forwarded to correspondent banks for collection and credit and charged to such banks are in large part included
in balances due from banks and to that extent cannot be deducted in
computing adjusted demand deposits.
Increases during 1935 in adjusted demand deposits, time deposits,
and deposits held for banks, as well as declines in United States
Government and postal-savings deposits, as shown in the table, were
common to all groups of member banks. The increase in adjusted
demand deposits was relatively somewhat larger at city banks than
at country banks. This is in contrast to 1934 when the increase in
deposits was relatively larger at country banks than at city banks.
The increase in time deposits occurred chiefly outside New York and
Chicago, the two central reserve cities. Withdrawal of United States
Government deposits was largely concentrated at city banks. Increases in deposits held for domestic and for foreign banks occurred
almost entirely at banks in New York City, Chicago, and other largo
financial centers.
Increase in deposits at all banks.—Although adjusted demand deposits of member banks in 1935 were above the 1929 maximum, similar deposits of all banks in the United States were still somewhat
below 1929 levels. Available figures for nonmember banks for
earlier years are less accurate than those for member banks, because
some of the States did not obtain reports of deposits classified
according to kinds, and also because nonmember banks probably included a larger amount of collection items in amounts reported as
due from banks than did member banks, which diminishes the accuracy of any computation of adjusted demand deposits. On the
basis of such information as is available, it appears that adjusted
demand deposits of all banks in the United States declined by about
$8,000,000,000 from June 1929 to June 1933 and increased by about
$6,000,000,000 to June 1935. By June 1935, time deposits of all banks
had recovered nearly $2,000,000,000 of the total decline of about
24
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
$7,500,000,000, while United States deposits and bankers' deposits
were much larger than in 1929. Deposits held by the Postal Savings
System and not redeposited in banks increased by about $800,000,000
between June 1929 and June 1935, and, for reasons subsequently explained, the amount of currency in circulation outside of banks in
1935 was about $1,000,000,000 larger than in 1929. The total amount
of bank deposits and currency held by the public in June 1935 was,
therefore, about $5,500,000,000 less than in June 1929. This difference
was considerably reduced by a further increase in deposits in the lasthalf of 1935, amounting to'$1,800,000,000 for insured banks.
Bank debits and turn-over of deposits.—Volume of debits to individual
depositors' accounts at banks was larger in 1935 than in any of the
3 previous years, reflecting increased business and stock-market activity. At banks in 140 cities outside of New York City debits in
the year were 15 percent larger than in 1934. In New York City,
where debits are to a considerable extent affected by stock-market
activity, the increase amounted to about 10 percent. In the last
quarter of 1935 debits in New York City were approximately 25
percent larger and in other cities 20 percent larger than in the last
quarter of 1934.
The increase in debits was not so rapid as the growth in deposits,
and therefore the rate of deposit turn-over continued at a low level.
Member-bank earnings.—Member banks, taken as a whole, showed
net profits in 1935 for the first time since 1931, notwithstanding the
low. level of money rates and the large volume of idle funds on which
the banks received no return. For the first half of 1935 member
banks reported net income of about $80,000,000. Results for the
second half year are not yet available. No other 6-month period
since the first half of 1931 has resulted in net profits for the member
banking system principally because the banks have been obliged to
write off heavy losses. In the first half of 1935 the amount of losses
written off b}^ member banks was much smaller than in similar periods
of other recent years and recoveries on assets previously written off
were large.
MONEY IN CIRCULATION
Increase in 1935.—The amount of money in circulation increased by
$350,000,000 during 1935, reflecting principally demands for currency to meet an increase in wage payments and in retail trade.
At. the seasonal peak toward the end of the year the amount of
money in circulation wa$ $6,000,000,000, a larger amount than at
any time in the past, except during the banking crisis in March
1933, and $1,200,000,000 above the seasonal peak in 1928, when the
level of retail trade and pay rolls was considerably higher than in
1935. The larger amount of money in circulation as compared with
25
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
1928 reflects a continuation in private hoards of a substantial amount
of currency which was withdrawn during the period of banking difficulties, the practice of a number of State and local governmental
bodies of holding funds in currency rather than on deposit in banks,
and the increased use of cash instead of checks to meet current payments, due to the absence of banking facilities in some localities
and to the growth of service charges by banks.

i Total shows amounts outside of Federal Reserve banks and the Treasury, while figures by denominations include holdings of small amounts of unassorted currency in Federal Reserve banks and the Treasury.
Some indication of these various tendencies is afforded by figures
on denominations of currency in circulation, which are shown in the
table, giving the amount of coin and of various denominations of
notes in circulation as of selected dates in recent years. In October
1930, which is the earliest date for which comparable figures on this
basis are available, the amount of currency in circulation was near
the low level for recent years. Wage payments and retail trade had
declined somewhat and the hoarding movement had not begun. Figures for December 1932 show, on the one hand, the effects of hoarding, without the sharp and temporary movement in the 2 following
months which immediately preceded the bank holiday, and, on the
other hand, the influence of a further decline in the use of currency
in trade and pay rolls. Figures for the later dates illustrate developments during the subsequent period of business recovery and banking
reconstruction.
From October 1930 to the end of December 1932 circulation of
currency of denominations of $50 and over increased by about
$800,000,000, and that of $10 and $20 denominations increased by a
total of over $300,000,000, and circulation of gold coin increased by
more than $100,000,000, reflecting widespread withdrawal of deposits
from banks and hoarding of currency. Circulation of smaller denomination currency and of other coin, on the other hand, decreased
somewhat, reflecting the decline in industry and trade.

ANNUAL EEPOET OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
111 1933, except during the period preceding the bank holiday when
currency withdrawals were widespread, and in 1934 the return of
hoarded currency was responsible for declines in notes of $50 and
over. In those years, however, there were increases in circulation
of small-denomination notes and of coin other than gold, which may
be attributed in part to the demand for currency to meet the expansion in retail trade and pay rolls, in part to a growth in vault cash
holdings of banks, and in part to a tendency to use cash rather than
checks.
The tendency toward the greater use of currency rather than checks
in current payments is in part responsible for the fact that the
amount of currency in active use is larger at present than during the
years before the depression, despite a lower level of pay roils and
retail trade. Figures of currency in circulation by denominations
are not available for 1928, but some indication of this tendency is
afforded by the circulation figures for subsidiary silver, silver dollars,
and $1 notes, which do not reflect the influence of hoarding. From
the end of 1928 to the end of 1935 the amount of subsidiary silver in
circulation increased by $20,000,000 or 7 percent, and the estimated
total of $1 notes and silver dollars in circulation increased by about
$50,000,000, or more than 10 percent.
In 1935 the increase in circulation of small-denomination currency
continued in response to increases in retail trade and pay rolls. Circulation of large-denomination notes also increased in 1935, reflecting
at least in part the holding of public funds in currency because, in
view of low yields on investments and legal restrictions on rates that
banks may pay on deposits, many banks were unable to pay the interest rates which the public bodies were required by law to demand.
That the amount of large-denomination currency in circulation at the
end of 1935 was still some $700,000,000 larger than in October 1930
reflected principally, however, the continued holding in currency of
a part of the savings of the public.
There were substantial shifts during 1935 in the kinds of currency
in circulation, as shown in the following table. All liability for
national bank notes outstanding was transferred from the issuing
banks to the Treasury, and these notes were retired from circulation
to the extent of $360,000,000. The process of eliminating national
bank notes from the circulating medium is described in some detail
below. The retirement of gold certificates and of Federal Reserve
bank notes from circulation also continued during 1935. The reductions in these classes of currency totaled $420,000,000, and there were
increases of $490,000,000 in Federal Eeserve notes, $240,000,000 in
silver certificates, and $40,000,000 in other forms of money in
circulation.

Retirement of national bank notes.—Final retirement of national bank
notes was begun in 1935 with the calling of bonds permanently bearing the privilege of being pledged by national banks as collateral for
circulating notes and with expiration of the temporary grant of that
privilege to other bonds. In March 1935 the United States Treasury
called for redemption on July 1 all outstanding 2 percent consols of
1930 and for redemption on August 1 all 2 percent Panama Canal
loan bonds. These issues were the only outstanding United States
Government securities that carried permanently the circulation privilege. The temporary circulation privilege granted in 1932 to Treasury bonds bearing an interest rate of not more than 3% percent
expired on July 22. Thus all provision for issuing national bank
notes had ceased by August 1.
From early in March, when the bonds were called, to the end of
June national banks deposited with the United States Treasury about
$410,000,000 of funds, thereby transferring to the Treasury the liability for redeeming these notes upon return from circulation. During this period about $90,000,000 of national bank notes were retired,
largely as they became unfit for further circulation and were returned
to the Treasury. The difference between these two amounts, $320,000,000, represented funds temporarily placed at the disposal of the
Treasury. These funds were not specifically earmarked but were
placed in the general-fund balance of the Treasury. Receipts by the
Treasury from this source, as well as from income taxes and payments
for securities in March, increased Treasury balances of cash and deposits with Reserve banks and resulted in a temporary decline in
member bank reserve balances, but subsequently these reserves were
replenished by Treasury disbursements from its balances.
28
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
The next stage in the elimination of national bank notes from the
circulating medium of the country was the retirement of the bonds.
On July 1 national banks which still had national bank notes outstanding against the pledge of consols were allowed to offset this
liability against amounts due to them for redeemed consols and
against balances remaining in their redemption fund with the Treasury applicable to these notes. Funds needed by the Treasury to
redeem consols were acquired principally by withdrawals from depositary banks. As a result these transactions w^ere completed without any significant change in aggregate member bank reserve balances. The expiration of the temporary circulation privilege on
July 22 necessitated the deposit of funds with the Treasury to cover
the liability for national bank notes secured by these bonds. Since
no bonds matured on this date the only offsetting item consisted of
the relatively small balance remaining in the redemption fund applicable to notes outstanding against these bonds. Practically all
of these transactions were completed prior to July 22. The redemption of Panamas on August 1 required the same sort of transactions
as the redemption of consols, but the amounts involved were much
smaller.
The final stage is the actual redemption of national bank notes.
When the Federal Reserve banks ship unfit national bank notes to
the Treasury for retirement payment is made by a charge against
the Treasury's account at the Reserve banks. The Treasury replenishes its account from time to time by depositing with the Reserve
banks gold certificate credits, based upon the gold increment arising
from the revaluation of the dollar. In this way retirement of these
notes is effected without reduction in member bank reserve balances or in the Treasury's working balance. That part of the gold
increment not reserved for other uses, amounting to about $640,000.000, was set aside for this purpose. This amount was closely
similar to the amount of bonds bearing the circulation privilege
outstanding at the date of the call and also to the amount of national
bank notes secured by bonds. There was at that time an additional
$220,000,000 of national bank notes outstanding for the retirement
of which funds had already been deposited with the Treasury. By
the end of the year $390,000,000 of the gold increment had been
used by the Treasury to retire notes, there were still $470,000,000 of
national bank notes outstanding, and the Treasury held $250,000,000
of the gold increment for further retirement of these notes.
MONEY RATES AND BOND YIELDS
Continued growth during 1935 in the volume of idle funds, held
both in bank reserves and in deposits at banks, was accompanied
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
29
by little further change in short-term open-market money rates and
only small declines in the yields of the highest-grade bonds. Yields
on lower-grade bonds of railroads and public utilities, however, declined substantially during the year.
Short-term money rates continued at low levels during 1935, with
rates on open-market commercial paper at three-fourths of 1 percent
from the middle of January and on 90-day bankers' acceptances at
one-eighth of 1 percent throughout the year. The rate on call loans
on the New York Stock Exchange was reduced from 1 percent to
one-fourth of 1 percent in April and remained at that level until
October, when by joint action of New York banks the rate was increased to three-fourths of 1 percent. Ninety-day time money, which
early in the year was offered at 1 percent with three-fourths percent
bid, beginning in April was quoted at a flat rate of one-fourth of 1
percent, but toward the end of the year was raised to a nominal rate
of 1 percent. Yields on 9-month Treasury bills declined in July to .05
of 1 percent, increased to as high as .25 of 1 percent in September,
and subsequently declined to an average of .09 percent in December.
During the first half of the year nine of the Federal Reserve banks
reduced their discount rates. By Ma}^ 15, 1935, 10 Federal Reserve
banks had established a rate of 2 percent and the other two, New
York and Cleveland, had a rate of iy2 percent.
Rates charged by member banks in principal cities on prime loans to
customers, as indicated by averages compiled by the Board, declined
somewhat more than open-market rates during the year. At the end
of the year rates at New York City banks averaged about 2% per*
cent, those in other northern and eastern cities, 3% percent, and those
in southern and western cities about 4 ^ percent.
Yields on the highest-grade bonds, including long-term United
States Government bonds and high-grade municipal and corporate
bonds, declined further during the first half of 1935 but at a slower
rate than in 1934. In August and September yields on these bonds
increased as prices declined, and subsequent price increases were not
sufficient to carry the yields back to the record low levels of midsummer. At the end of the year the yields on long-term United
States Government bonds averaged about 2% percent as compared
with nearly 3 percent at the beginning of the year. Average yields
on high-grade municipal bonds declined during the year from 3*/o
percent to 3 percent, and those on the highest-grade corporate bonds
from slightly above to slightly below 3% percent.
Average prices and yields of lower-grade corporate bonds did not
follow the same course as the highest-grade obligations. During
March the prices of the lower-grade railroad bonds declined sharply,
with a consequent increase in yields. In the subsequent months prices
30
ANNUAL EEPORT OF FEDERAL, RESERVE GOVERNORS
of these bonds increased and by the end of the year were again at their
February levels. Prices of lower-grade utility bonds also increased,
with the consequence that average yields on lower-grade corporate
bonds included in Moody's compilation of bond yields reached new
low levels since 1928. At the end of the year average yields on these
bonds were below 5y2 percent as compared with over 6 percent at the
beginning of the year.
STOCK PRICES AND SECURITY LOANS
During 1935 the stock market was more active than at any time
since the summer of 1933. Beginning in March prices advanced
during most of the remainder of the year, and the volume of transactions increased. For the most part the increase in prices reflected
cash purchases and was not accompanied by a corresponding increase
in bank loans on securities. In the absence of flotation of new
security issues, other than for refunding outstanding issues, this
demand from investors was influential in raising the prices of existing
securities.
After a moderate decline in the early part of the year which
was terminated in March, prices advanced during the remainder
of the year, except for brief interruptions beginning in August and
again in November. This was the most sustained advance in
the stock market since 1929. Average prices of the 421 stocks
compiled by the Standard Statistics Co. increased by a little more
than 50 percent from the low point in March to the end of the
year. By the latter part of the summer this average had passed the
previous high point reached in July 1933 and by the end of the year
it was near the level of the middle of 1931. Average prices of 351
industrial stocks increased by 50 percent from March to the end of
the year. Prices of utility stocks, which had declined steadily for
more than a year prior to March 1935, increased by nearly 80 percent
from that month to the end of the year. At the latter date, however,
they were still below the highest levels reached in 1933. Railroad
stocks did not participate fully in the advance until November and
December. By the end of the year average prices of railroad stocks
were 50 percent above their low level of March but considerably
below their high point of 1933.
Security loans.—As indicated in the accompanying chart, during the
first 9 months of 1935 security loans by member banks in leading
cities to borrowers other than brokers and dealers in securities continued the decline which had been almost uninterrupted since 1930.
Loans by these banks to brokers and dealers in securities to finance
customer^' transactions and dealers' holdings showed increases during the year. The increase in April reflected in large part the tak

correspondents. Other fluctuations during the year reflected principally borrowings by dealers in Government securities in connection
with public-debt operations. The sharp increase in November and
32
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
December reflected in part Government security operations and temporary borrowing to meet usual end-of-year cash requirements of
brokers and their customers, but was in part sustained during January.
Brokers' advances to their customers on margin accounts showed a
continuous increase after the middle of the year. These advances
were financed by brokers in part by increasing their borrowings
from banks and in part from credit balances held with brokers by
such of their customers as were not indebted to them.
It is an unusual development for a rise of 50 percent in stock prices
in a short period of time not to be accompanied by a substantial increase in the amount of bank credit used for carrying securities.
The abundance of funds in the hands of investors is in large part
responsible for this unusual condition, and the margin requirements
prescribed in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
for loans by brokers to their customers appear also to have been a
factor. These requirements limited withdrawals of cash from margin accounts for the purpose of realizing profits from a rise in stock
prices, and thereby reduced the need of borrowing by brokers.
Effect of margin requirements on loans.—The formula for determining margin requirements, stated (but not required) in the law
and adopted by the Board in its regulation concerning extension
of credit by brokers and dealers in securities, provides that a loan
on a security must not be greater than whichever is the higher of:
(1) 55 percent of the current market price of the security, or
(2) 100 percent of the lowest market price of the security since
July 1, 1933, but not more than 75 percent of the current market
price.
The theory on w^hich the statutory margin formula was based
was to provide for a constant increase of restraining influences as
the prices of stocks advanced above their lows. So long as the
price of a stock was less than 133 percent of the low price in the
period prescribed, a customer might borrow from a broker as much
as 75 percent of its market price, because up to that point 75 percent of the market price would not exceed 100 percent of the low
price. When the price of a security advanced above 133 percent of
its low price, the amount that could be borrowed on it did not
increase and the percentage margin requirement, therefore, increased
as the price advanced. Under the statutory formula this condition
continued until the price rose above 182 percent of its low, when a
constant 45-percent margin requirement became effective. The reason that the situation! changed at the 182-percent line was that 55
percent of 182 is 100, so that at prices above 182 percent of
the low a loan of 55 percent of the market price would be more than
a loan of 100 percent of the low price and would, therefore, be the
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
33
alternative chosen as the basis of calculating margin requirements
and loan values.
One effect of this formula was that, during the rise of the price of
a security from 133 to 182 percent of the low price, no additional
amount could be borrowed on the security, and consequently the
profits arising out of the rise could not be withdrawn or used as
margin for additional borrowing. In other words profits could not
be pyramided, and the stretch of value between 133 and 182 percent
of the low price of a stock came to be known as the "antipyramiding
zone." When a rise in the price of a stock carried it above 182 percent of its low, however, each additional advance of $1 enabled the
borrower to withdraw 55 cents of his profits or to use that amount as
margin for additional borrowing. Profits could once more be
pyramided.
Toward the end of 1935 stocks in which three-fourths of the trading
was done, including most of the more active and important stocks,
were subject to the 45-percent margin requirement; less than 8 percent required a margin of 25 percent, the lowest permitted under the
regulation; and on the remainder required margins ranged from 25
to 45 percent of their current market prices.
It is estimated that at the end of 1935 margins required on active
issues averaged about 40 percent of current market prices, as compared with about 30 percent at the time the Board's Regulation T was
put into effect in October 1934. This automatic increase in margin
requirements as stock prices advanced represents the effects of the
operation of the statutory formula. During a part of the advance
pyramiding of profits was not possible for most stocks, but the rise
in prices brought an increasing number of stocks to the level at which
pyramiding (with a 45-percent margin) was again possible. Thus
the statutory formula had ceased to operate as a prevention of pyramiding on the majority of active stocks.
It was largely because of this situation that in January 1936 the
Board announced that effective February 1 the margins required on
securities which had risen most in price would be raised from 45 to
55 percent of current market price. This had the effect of raising
from 182 to 222 percent of the low price the level to which the price
must have advanced before pyramiding of profits again becomes possible, because not until the price rises above 222 percent is 45 percent
of the market price more than 100 percent of the low price.
It is estimated that after this change stocks with a volume of
trading amounting to about one-third of the total dollar volume of
trading in stocks on the New York Stock Exchange were in the socalled antipyramiding zone and stocks in which nearly two-thirds
of the trading is done were subject to the maximum margin requirement of 55 percent. On this group of stocks, pyramiding of profits
34
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
would still be possible, since for each dollar of price advance 45 cents
would become available to margin additional borrowing.
-/administration of Securities Exchange Act of 1934.—The Board's
Re filiation T, issued in September 1934, relating to the extension and
maintenance of credit by members of national securities exchanges
and brokers and dealers transacting a business in securities through
the medium of such members, continued in effect during 1935 without substantial amendment. Six amendments promulgated during
the year related to matters of detail, with the exception of an amendme it fixing at 100 percent the margin requirement on certain shorttern warrants. This amendment, which was issued simultaneously
wii h rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning
the registration of warrants for "when issued" trading, was designed
to bring into conformity the margin requirements applicable to all
shcrt-term warrants registered on national securities exchanges,
whether such warrants be issued or unissued. These amendments,
ther with a number of rulings issued during the year in interpretation of Regulation T, were published currently in the Federal
Re erve Bulletin.
he Board established during the year a system of monthly repo *ts from brokers and dealers in securities, giving customers' debit
ances of the reporting firm, the amount of money borrowed, and
a number of other related items. The reporting firms include not
on y member firms of the New York Stock Exchange but also membei firms of other important exchanges. The purpose of these repo ts is to provide current statistical information for the use of the
Bo ird in the performance of its duties under the Securities Exchange
Ac of 1934, and particularly the duty to prevent, by prescribing
ma rgin requirements, the excessive use of credit for the purpose of
pu •chasing or carrying securities. Current changes in the reported
fig ires, for all reporting firms as a group or for classes of such firms,
wi 1 provide information needed for this purpose. It is the Board's
int ention, after the reliability and accuracy of the figures have been
tes ed, to arrange for their current publication.
CAPITAL ISSUES
'. during 1935 the capital markets began to respond to the extremely
low level of money rates and the large volume of funds awaiting investment. Increased activity was confined largely to new security
issues to replace existing obligations bearing higher coupon rates,
me st of which were called for redemption before maturity dates. The
vo ume of refunding issues in 1935 greatly exceeded that of any other
post-war year. Securities issued by domestic corporations to raise
new capital, that is to secure funds for working capital, expansion of
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
35
plant, and repayment of bank loans, were substantially larger than
in the immediately preceding years, but the total was still of nominal
proportions as compared with more nearly normal periods.
Although the large refunding operations during 1935 represented
merely the substitution of one security for another and not a flow of
new investment funds through the capital market into industry, they
were important as indicating the first major step undertaken by corporations and other organizations to take advantage of the easy conditions in the money market. Through them, furthermore, costs of
fixed debt were reduced.
New security issues, including those for refunding other issues,
began to be offered in larger volumn near the end of the first quarter
of 1935 and offerings continued to be large during the balance of the
year. Issues during the entire year, excluding those of the Federal
Government, totaled $4,700,000,000. This compares with average annual issues of $1,700,000,000 during the period 1932-34 and of $8,500,000,000 during the period 1925-28. Of the total issues during 1935,
$3,300,000,000, or about 70 percent, were for refunding purposes. Refunding operations by domestic corporations, chiefly public utility
companies, aggregated about $1,900,000,000 and those of the Federal
land banks and other Federal credit agencies $1,000,000,000.
Security offerings by domestic corporations were larger during
1935 than in any year since 1931. Issues to raise new capital, which
include issues to repay bank loans, totaled $400,000,000, as compared
with annual averages of $220,000,000 during the period 1932-34, and
of $4,300,000,000 during the period 1925-28.
The larger part of the securities offered during 1935 to secure new
funds came from Federal, State, and local Governments. Outstanding bonds and notes of the Federal Government, excluding the
Consols and Panamas retired during the year from the gold increment, increased about $1,800,000,000 and issues of State and local
governments to secure new funds totaled $900,000,000, making an
aggregate amount of $2,700,000,000 of new funds acquired during
the year by the various governments through the sale of obligations
with maturities of 1 year or more.
The refinancing of farm- and home-mortgage loans through the
exchange of mortgages for bonds fully guaranteed by the United
States continued at a slower rate during 1935. Refunding of mortgage obligations in this manner has been the work of agencies under
the Farm Credit Administration and of the Home Owners' Loan
Corporation. A large part of these refunding operations were completed in 1934 when a total of $2,800,000,000 of bonds fully guaranteed by the United States were issued, $1,000,000,000 by the Federal
Farm Mortgage Corporation and $1,800,000,000 by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation. Except for about $700,000,000, which included
36
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL, RESERVE GOVERNORS
bones sold at public and private offering, a small amount sold directly to the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation and
thosj exchanged for partially guaranteed obligations, these securities were issued in exchange for mortgage loans. During 1935 the
amo mt of these fully guaranteed bonds outstanding increased
furt ler by $1,400,000,000, including an increase of $400,000,000 in
the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation bonds and of $1,000,000,000
in 1 ome Owners' Loan Corporation bonds. From the proceeds of
these issues, however, $325,000,000 was used to refund outstanding
Hone Owners' Loan Corporation bonds guaranteed as to interest
only, and $100,000,000 of the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation
bom s were sold publicly and small amounts sold privately to secure
cash to make mortgage loans and for other purposes.
BUSINESS CONDITIONS
E ;onomic activity in the United States showed a sustained increase
in 1935 following irregular upward movements in 1933 and 1934.
Industrial production for the year, as measured by the Federal Reserv} index, was 14 percent larger than in 1934 and was about half
way between the low level of 1932 and the high level of 1929. Emplo} ment also increased, but the volume of unemployment continued
muci larger than in predepression years. Distribution of commodities increased, and there was no general accumulation of inventories.
Industrial output, which had increased in the latter part of 1934,
was maintained during the first half of 1935 and increased considerably after the middle of the year. In the fourth quarter the Board's
index of industrial production averaged 99 percent of the 1923-25
avei age as compared with an index of 90 percent for the year.
In the two and a half years preceding 1935 there were four periods
of i icreasing industrial activity; each of the first three of these was
foil >wed by a sharp decline, whereas the upturn in late 1934 was
mai itained in 1935.
T he nature of these developments is indicated in the accompanying
cha *t, which shows the Board's seasonally adjusted index of industria \ production, together with important component indexes of production for various industries or groups of industries, all expressed in
terns of points in the total index, so that it is possible to see how
much of a movement in the total index was accounted for directly by
cha lges in activity in any of these industries.
I i the summer of 1932 there was a small increase in industrial
pro iuction, reflecting in large part an increase in textile output from
an unusually low level. This increase was followed by a decline and
by March 1933, at the time of the banking crisis, the index of industrial production was at about the same low level as in the summer of
37

1932. Output increased rapidly from March 1933 to July of that
year, stimulated by the reopening of banks, the low level of stocks

tween November 1933 and May 1934, and the subsequent decline in
activity in the summer of 1934 reflected primarily fluctuations in the
outp it of steel, which had been produced in substantial quantities
for s ock in anticipation of price advances in the third quarter. The
advaice from September 1934 to January 1935 was general for the
industries shown on the chart, except for meat packing.
Di ring 1935 production increased further and in most individual
industries was larger than in 1934, with the greatest expansion in
outp it of durable manufactures, such as automobiles, machinery,
steel and lumber, which had been produced in extremely small volume during the depression. In the industries producing nondurable
manufactures, the principal changes were a sharp increase in activity
lat woolen mills and a considerable decline in activity at meat-packing
estat lishments. There were increases in output of most other nondurable products.
Construction work continued at a relatively low level, and as in
othe • recent years a large part of the work was publicly financed.
Eesi lential building, which had been exceptionally small in amount
in t i e three preceding years, showed a widespread and sustained
growth, reflecting improvement in the real estate situation and in
the availability of mortgage funds. For the year as a whole the
volune of residential building was nearly double that of the precedi: lg year but still only about one-fifth as large as in the peak years
of t i e post-war period. Value of contracts awarded for other constru ;tion increased sharply in the last part of 1935 and for the year
as a whole was slightly larger than in 1934.
Ir agriculture, output of crops, particularly grain crops, was substantially larger than in 1934, when drought conditions prevailed,
but marketings of livestock showed a sharp decline.
Accompanying larger output in 1935, employment and pay rolls
also increased. The growth in employment at factories, however,
was considerably smaller than that in production or pay rolls, owing
in large part to an increase in the average number of hours worked
by employees, particularly in the last half of the year. Unemployment, although somewhat reduced from the large volume of the
three preceding years, continued at a much higher level during 1935
than in the peak years of business activity in the post-war period,
reflecting a rate of activity which was still considerably lower than
in that period and also an increase in the number of persons of
working age and further technical improvements in industrial
ope: -ations.
The volume of domestic trade was larger in 1935 than in 1934.
Dej artment-store sales increased during the year, and the Board's
ann ual index was 79 percent of the 1923-25 average, compared wTith
i ercent in 1934. Sales of general merchandise in rural areas were
Digitized for75
FRASER
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
39
substantially larger than in any year since 1930. The number of
automobiles sold showed a considerable advance during 1935 and was
the largest since 1929. The dollar volume of sales at chain grocery
stores increased somewhat, owing in part to higher food prices, while
at chain variety stores sales were about the same in amount as a
year earlier. Freight-car loadings increased slightly during the
year.
Value of foreign trade in 1935 was 14 percent larger than in 1934.
Exports increased by about 7 percent, while imports were about 24
percent greater, and the excess of exports amounted to $234,000,000
as compared with $478,000,000 in 1934. In the last part of the year
exports showed a substantial increase. Of the commodities exported, machinery and vehicles showed the largest increase, while
exports of animal products and wheat declined considerably. The
growth in imports was general, with food products and industrial
raw materials showing the largest increases. The increase in imports
of food products reflected in part the effects of the drought in 1934
upon domestic output.
Wholesale commodity prices, w^hich advanced rapidly in 1933 and
1934, showed little further increase during 1935 from the general
level reached early in the year. The average for the year, according
to the index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was 7 percent above
that for 1934 and 23 percent above 1932. During 1935 there were
substantial increases in prices of livestock, meats, and hides, while
prices of coffee and of grains other than wheat declined considerably.
Commodities other than farm products and foods continued to show
little change in the average level of their prices from that reached
in the latter part of 1933. Prices of leading basic raw materials,
which had risen most sharply in 1933 and had as a group increased
further in 1934, on the average were at about the same level at the
end of 1935 as a year earlier.
Retail prices of foods, according to the index of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, advanced considerably during the first quarter of
1935, reflecting increases in the price of meats and fruits and vegetables, but showed relatively little change during the remainder of
the year. The Bureau's index of the cost of living wTas somewhat
higher in 1935 than in the three preceding years.
Income in both urban and rural areas continued to increase. Pay
rolls at manufacturing establishments, mines, railroads, and public
utilities showed a combined increase of about 11 percent over the
1934 level. The largest increases were at factories, while smaller
increases were reported by mines, railroads, and public utilities.
Farm income, including Government benefit payments, was about
9 percent larger than in 1934.

ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
Profits of large industrial corporations during 1935 were larger
than in the previous year. Although the recovery of profits from
the deficits of 1932 has been substantial, the levels attained in 1935
were less than half those of 1929. Industries showing the most
marked improvements in profits during the year 1935 included
manufacturing of automobiles and automobile accessories, electrical
equipment, machinery, building materials, steel, and textile products.
Owing to profits from operations during the last 4 months of the
year, railroads as a group reported a substantial increase in earnings,
which almost covered their annual fixed charges, as compared with
large aggregate deficits in every other year since 1931. Profits of
public utilities were somewhat larger than in 1934. Dividend declarations also increased in 1935, and, according to one compilation,
were larger in December than for the same month of any year since
1931.
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE BANKING STRUCTURE
During 1935 the country's banking structure showed a greater
degree of stability than in any other recent year and the number of
banking offices was approximately the same at the end of the year
as at the beginning. According to preliminary figures, 149 new
banks were organized and 84 suspended or unlicensed banks wrere
reopened during the year, while 34 banks were suspended and 307
banks were merged, absorbed, consolidated, or liquidated, making
a net decrease of 108 in the number of banks. There was, on the
other hand, an increase of 133 in the number of branches in 1935,
as shown in the table on page 42, so that the number of banking
offices increased from 18,950 to 18,975 during the year.
Changes in membership.—The number of member banks of the Federal Reserve System decreased by 55 in 1935 to 6,387 at the end of
the year. This decrease was due largely to the merger, absorption,
consolidation, or liquidation of 122 banks, partly offset by the organization of 33 new national banks and the admission of 38 State banks
to membership in the Federal Reserve System. The 6,387 member
banks on December 31, 1935, included 5,386 national banks and 1,001
State member banks. At the end of December 1935 loans and investments of member banks constituted 66 percent of the total loans
and investments of all banks and 84 percent of the total loans and
investments of all banks other than mutual savings banks. Changes
in the number of member banks during 1935 are summarized in the
following table.

Branch offices.—There was a net increase during 1935 of 133 in the
number of branches maintained by banks (including mutual savings
banks and private banks). The number of branches of national banks
increased by 84; the number of branches of State member banks decreased by 29; and the number of branches of nonmember banks increased by 78. The number of banks maintaining branches increased
from 796 to 883. Of this net increase of 87, 72 were nonmember
banks, the number of national banks with branches increasing only
by 6 and the number of State members by 9. For the most part the
nonmembers responsible for this increase maintain only 1 branch
each.
The increase in branches maintained was accounted for wholly by
branches outside head office cities, there being a decrease of 29 in the
number of branches maintained inside head office cities. The banking offices at the beginning and end of the year 1935 are shown in the

NOTE.—Figures for banks not members of the Federal Reserve System are preliminary.
Insured deposits.—The Banking Act of 1935 established the Federal
deposit insurance fund on a permanent basis, continuing the insurance
of each depositor in each insured bank in a sum not exceeding $5,000.
Banks participating in the fund were made subject to annual assessments equal to one-twelfth of 1 percent of their deposit liabilities as
defined in the law.
On December 31,1935,14,177 banks with deposits of $45,101,000,000
were participating in Federal deposit insurance. Of these, 6,387

Bank suspensions and receiverships.—Bank suspensions in 1935 numbered 34, compared with 57 in 1934, and were fewer than in any
other post-war year. Of the 34 banks with deposits of $10,099,000
which suspended during 1935, 26 with deposits of $9,160,000 were
participating in the Federal deposit insurance fund.
The Comptroller of the Currency has reported that all of the
1,417 * national banks which were unlicensed after the banking holiday of 1933 have since been licensed or placed in liquidation or receivership. In 489 of them the creditors were paid in full and for the
group as a whole unsecured depositors recovered 75 percent of their
claims.
At the end of 1935 there were about 1,400 active receiverships of
national banks which had deposit liabilities of $1,842,000,000 at the
time they closed. To the end of 1935, unsecured depositors in
these banks have been repaid more than $1,068,000,000. Comparable
figures for State bank receiverships are not available.
During the year the Eeconstruction Finance Corporation made
aggregate loans of $114,000,000 to further the disbursement of funds
to depositors of banks in process of liquidation. The investment of
the Eeconstruction Finance Corporation in the capital structure of
bank's increased slightly during the year to $882,000,000.

Earnings on total bills and securities were about $6,200,000 less in
1935 than in 1934. This decrease in earnings was due primarily to
a reduction from 1.91 percent to 1.68 percent in the average rate of
earninge, but also in part to a reduction of about $26,000,000 in average daily holdings of bills and securities. Average daily holdings of
bills and securities together with average rates and amounts of earnings thereon are shown for recent years in the following table.

NEW BUILDING FOR BOARD OF GOVERNORS
In the Annual Eeport for 1934 the steps which had been taken up
to the point of holding a competition for the selection of an architect
for the Board's new building and the selection of a jury to pass upon
the designs submitted were described. On May 18, 1935, the Board
selected Paul P. Cret, of Philadelphia, as its architect on the basis of
the results of the competition, Mr. Cret's design having been given
first place by unanimous choice of the jury. The studies prepared
by Mr. Cret following his selection as architect were approved by the
National Capital Park and Planning Commission and the Fine Arts
Commission and on January 8, 1936, the plans and specifications
drawn as a basis for letting a contract for the construction of a new
building were approved by the Board. Invitations to builders to
submit bids for the construction of the new building were issued
immediately and January 29, 1936, was fixed as the date for opening
47
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
the bids, with a view to the completion of the new building before
July 1, 1937. In the meantime a ^contract was awarded for the
demolition and removal of the existing temporary building on the
Board's property; but, because of occupancy of the building by another Government agency which had difficulty in finding suitable
quarters elsewhere, the work of demolition was not started until
January 2,1936. In the development of the plans for the new building and in arrangements for beginning its construction the Board has
had the benefit of the constructive advice, assistance, and cooperation
of the Procurement Division of the Treasury Department, the Architect of the Capitol, and the National Park Service, as well as of the
National Capital Park and Planning Commission and the Fine Arts
Commission.
BUILDING OPERATIONS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
Construction of additions to the buildings occupied by the Federal
Reserve banks of New York and Philadelphia was nearing completion
at the end of 1935. All Federal Reserve banks and their branches
are now housed in buildings owned by the banks except the Cincinnati, Charlotte, Portland, Seattle, and Spokane branches.
BRANCHES AND AGENCIES OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
The 25 branches and 2 agencies which were in operation at the end
of 1934 continued to function throughout the year 1935. Beginning
June 1, 1935, the agency located at Habana, Cuba, has been operated
by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta as a System agency instead
of as an agency of the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank as heretofore.
The following table shows a comparison of the volume of work handled in certain departments by branches during the years 1932, 1933,
1934, and 1935.

FEDERAL RESERVE INTERDISTRICT COLLECTION SYSTEM
At the end of 1935 there were* 12,653 banks on the Federal Reserve
par list, comprising all member banks (6,387) and 6,266 nonmember
banks that pay, without deduction of exchange charges, such checks
drawn upon them as are presented or forwarded for payment by the
Federal Reserve banks. During the year the number of nonmember
banks on the par list decreased by 198, partly as a result of the reduction in the number of banks in operation, and the number not on the
par list increased by 51. Of the 2,694 banks not on the par list at
the end of 1935, 1,447 were located in 11 Southern States and 1,129
in the West North Central States and the adjoining State of Wisconsin. As will be seen from the following table, all of the banks
in the Boston, New York, and Philadelphia districts and all but two
banks in the Cleveland district were on the Federal Reserve par list.

made before June 16, 1933, to be renewed or extended for not more
than 2 years if in accord with sound banking practice. By joint
resolution of Congress, approved by the President June 14, 1935,
it was provided that loans made to an executive officer prior to June
16, 1933, may be renewed or extended for not more than 5 years from
such last-mentioned date where the board of directors of the member
bank shall have satisfied themselves that it is in the best interest of
the bank and that the officer indebted has made reasonable effort
to reduce his obligations, these findings to be evidenced by resolution
of the board of directors spread upon the minute book of the bank.
A similar provision was later included in the Banking Act of 1935,
referred to below.
JOINT RESOLUTION OF JUNE 2 8, 1935
By a joint resolution of Congress, approved by the President June
28, 1935, the insurance of bank deposits under the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund was extended from July 1, 1935, to
August 31, 1935. Before the expiration of the period as thus extended, the Banking Act of 1935 was passed, which set up an immediately effective permanent plan of deposit insurance superseding
the temporary plan of insurance.
ACT OF AUGUST 23, 193 3, "BANKING ACT OF 1 9 3 5 "
The Banking Act of 1935 contained many important amendments
to the Federal Reserve Act and to the laws relating to the Federal
Reserve System, some of the more important of which are summarized below. The act consisted of three divisions, title I, Federal Deposit Insurance; title II, Amendments to the Federal Reserve Act, and title III, Technical Amendments to the Banking
Laws.
Federal deposit insurance.—-The act contained a complete revision of
section 12B of the Federal Reserve Act relating to insurance of
bank deposits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At
the time of the enactment of the Banking Act of 1935, bank deposits
were insured under the provisions of a temporary plan of insurance
and, although the law had contained provisions for a permanent
plan of insurance, this had not come into effect. The Banking Act
of 1935 set up a new permanent plan of insurance, effective immediately, superseding the existing temporary plan. Onty a few of
the most important provisions of this section as revised are noted
here.
In lieu of the previous provisions of the permanent plan of deposit insurance, under which there would have been insured 100
percent of deposits up to $10,000, 75 percent of deposits between
$10,000 and $50,000, and 50 percent of deposits above $50,000, the
50
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
act provided that $5,000 shall be the maximum amount insured for
one depositor, conforming in this respect to the amount of deposits
insured under the temporary plan of insurance existing at the time
of the enactment of the Banking Act of 1935. Under the amended
law deposits of trust funds are insured to the extent of $5,000 for
each trust estate in addition to the insurance of other deposits owed
the trust beneficiary.
In lieu of the assessments aggregating not more than 1 percent
of insured deposits to which banks insured under the temporary
insurance plan were subject and of the requirement that banks which
were to be insured under the permanent plan purchase stock in the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and then be liable for
unlimited assessments, insured banks under the plan set up in the
act are subject to an annual assessment of one-twelfth of 1 percent
of their deposits payable semiannually. It was provided that a
separate insurance fund for mutual savings banks may be established by the Corporation and for such separate fund a lower rate
of assessment may be provided.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was directed to prohibit by regulation the "payment of interest on demand deposits in
insured nonmember banks." For that purpose the directors may
define the term "demand deposits", but such exceptions must be made
to the prohibition as are made for member banks. The Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation directors also "shall from time to
time limit by regulation the rates of interest or dividends which may
be paid by insured nonmember banks on time and savings deposits."
The directors are required to "define what constitutes time and savings deposits in an insured nonmember bank" and they shall "prescribe different rates for such payment on time and savings deposits
having different maturities, or subject to different conditions respecting withdrawal or repayment, or subject to different conditions by
reason of different locations, or according to the varying discount
rates of member banks in the several Federal Reserve districts."
The regulations must prohibit the payment of any time deposit before maturity except upon conditions prescribed by the directors,
and must prohibit the waiving of any requirement of notice before
payment of a savings deposit except as to all savings deposits having
the same requirement. A penalty of $100, recoverable by the Corporation, is provided for violation.
It was provided that any nonmember bank of the Federal Eeserve
System may under certain conditions become an insured bank. The
insured status of a member bank is terminated when it ceases to be
a member bank; but for 2 years thereafter the bank remains liable
for assessments and retains the insurance on insured deposits held
by it when it ceased to be a member bank, less subsequent withdraw
ANNUAL KEPOET OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
51
als. In lieu of the former provisions which would have terminated
the insurance of all nonmember banks on July 1, 1937, it was provided that no State bank which during the calendar year 1941 or
any succeeding calendar year has average deposits of $1,000,000 or
more shall be an insured bank or have any part of its deposits
insured after July 1 following the calendar year in which it had
such deposits, unless such bank be a member of the Federal Reserve
System; but the restriction was made inapplicable to a savings bank,
mutual savings bank, Morris Plan bank, or trust company doing
no commercial banking business, or to a bank located in Hawaii,
Alaska, Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands.
President and vice presidents of Federal Reserve banks.—Paragraph
"Fifth" of section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act was amended, effective March 1, 1936, to provide specifically for a "president" and
"vice presidents" at each Federal Reserve bank. Under the amended
law, the president is the chief executive officer of the bank and is
appointed by the board of directors, with the approval of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, for a 5-year term; and
all other executive officers and all employees of the bank are directly responsible to him. The first vice president is appointed in
the same manner and for the same term as the president, and is
to serve as chief executive officer of the bank in the absence or disability of the president or during a vacancy in that office. Vacancies in the office of president or first vice president are filled in the
same manner as original appointments, and for the remainder of
the term of the predecessors.
Requirements for admission to Federal Eeserve System.—A new paragraph was added to section 9 of the Federal Reserve Act so that, in
order to facilitate the admission to membership of any State bank
which is required to become a member bank in order to be an insured
bank, the Board of Governors may waive in whole or in part the
requirements of section 9 relating to the admission of such bank to
membership. If such a bank is admitted with capital less than that
required for the organization of a national bank in the same place
and its capital and surplus are not, in the Board's judgment, adequate
in relation to the bank's liabilities to depositors and other creditors,
the Board may require such bank to increase its capital and surplus
to such amount as the Board may deem necessary within such period
as the Board may deem reasonable; but no such bank shall be required
to increase its capital beyond that required for the organization of a
national bank in the same place.
NOTE.—Under the law it cannot be determined before the end of the year 1941
what banks will be required to become members of the Federal Reserve System
in order to be insured banks and, therefore, the Board cannot exercise its
authority to waive eligibility requirements before the end of the year 1941.
52
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
Names of Board, governor, and vice governor.—The act provided that
hereafter the Federal Reserve Board shall be known as the "Board
of Governors of the Federal Eeserve System" and that the governor
and vice governor shall be known as the "chairman" and "vice chairman", respectively, and shall be designated from among the members
of the Board by the President for a term of 4 years.
Organization of Board.—Section 10 of the Federal Eeserve Act was
amended to provide that the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System shall be composed of seven members appointed by
the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. Under the
amendment, it was provided that the Secretary of the Treasury, the
Comptroller of the Currency, and the six appointive members in
office on the date of the enactment of the Banking Act of 1935 should
continue to serve as members of the Board until February 1, 1936:
and the term of each successor is fixed by the President at not more
than 14 years, so that not more than one term will expire in any
2-year period. Thereafter, instead of serving a 12-year term, each
member will hold office for a term of 14 years from the expiration of
the term of his predecessor, unless sooner removed for cause by the
President. Upon the expiration of their terms of office, members
of the Board will continue to serve until their successors are appointed and have qualified. A member appointed to fill a vacancy
shall serve for the unexpired term of his predecessor.
Salaries and reappointment of Board members.—The act increased
Board members' salaries from $12,000 a year to $15,000; and added
a new provision that a person appointed after enactment of the act
shall not be eligible for reappointment after he has served a full
term of 14 years.
Record of action by Board and Open Market Committee.—Section 10 of
the Federal Reserve Act w^as amended so as to require the Board
to keep a complete record of action taken by it and by the Federal
Open Market Committee, and the reasons underlying such action, on
all questions of open-market operations and all other questions of
policy, and to include in its annual report a full account of all
such action together with a copy of the record required to be kept.
Advances to member banks.—Section 10 (b) of the Federal Eeserve
Act, which, prior to its expiration on March 3, 1935, authorized any
Federal Reserve bank, under rules and regulations prescribed by
the Board, to make advances to any member bank on its time or demand notes secured to the satisfaction of such Federal Reserve bank,
was reenacted as permanent law and amended in certain respects.
The requirement that such advances be made only "in exceptional
and exigent circumstances" and when the member bank cannot obtain adequate credit accommodations under other provisions of the
Federal Reserve Act was eliminated; and the requirement that such
ANNUAL REPORT OE FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
53
note must bear interest at a rate not less than 1 percent per annum
higher than the highest discount rate in effect at such Federal Reserve bank on the date of such note was changed to a requirement
that the rate of interest be not less than one-half percent per annum
higher. A provision was added requiring the notes of the member
bank to have maturities of not more than 4 months.
Open-market operations.—Section 12A of the Federal Reserve Act
was amended, effective March 1, 1936, so that instead of the Federal
Open Market Committee consisting of one member from each Federal Reserve district, it consists under the amended law of the seven
members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
and five annually-elected representatives of the Federal Reserve
banks. One of the five Reserve bank representatives is elected by
the directors of the Federal Reserve banks of Boston and New York;
one by the directors of the Federal Reserve banks of Philadelphia
and Cleveland; one by the directors of the Federal Reserve banks of
Chicago and St. Louis; one by the directors of the Federal Reserve
banks of Richmond, Atlanta, and Dallas; and one by the directors
of the Federal Reserve banks of Minneapolis, Kansas City, and San
Francisco. An alternate for each representative is elected in the
same manner as the representative. The Committee is required to
''consider, adopt, and transmit to the several Federal Reserve banks,
regulations relating to the open-market transactions of such banks."
Not only are Federal Reserve banks forbidden to engage in openmarket operations except in accordance with such regulations, but
they also are forbidden to "decline to engage" in such operations
except in accordance with the direction of and regulations adopted
by the Committee.
Purchase and sale of Government obligations and Government guaranteed
obligations.—Section 14 (b) of the Federal Reserve Act was amended
to provide that obligations of the United States and those fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States may be
bought and sold without regard to maturities, but only in the open
market.
Discount rates of Reserve banks.—Section 14 (d) of the Federal Reserve Act which provided that Federal Reserve banks may from
time to time establish discount rates, subject to review and determination of the Board, was amended to require that "each such bank
shall establish such rates every 14 days, or of tener if deemed necessary
by the Board."
Reserve requirements of member banks.—Section 19 of the Federal
Reserve Act was amended to permit the Board to change the reserve
requirements of member banks "in order to prevent injurious credit
expansion or contraction"; and to eliminate the necessity for first
having a declaration, upon the affirmative vote of five Board mem
54
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
bers and the approval of the President, that "an emergency exists
by reason of credit expansion." The changes may be made for
member banks located in reserve and central reserve cities, for
member banks not in reserve or central reserve cities, or for all
member banks; but the affirmative vote of not less than four Board
members is required for such a change, and the reserves required of
a member bank as a result of such a change may not be less than the
requirements on the date of enactment of the Banking Act of 1935
nor more than twice such requirements.
Real-estate loans by national banks.—Section 24 of the Federal Reserve Act, relating to real-estate loans by national banks, was
amended to eliminate the requirement that the real estate upon which
such loans are made must be located in the bank's Federal Keserve
district or within 100 miles of the place in which the bank is located.
The requirement that the bank take the entire amount of an obligation secured by real estate was retained as to such an obligation purchased by the bank. The limitation to 50 percent of the
actual value of the property was changed to 50 percent of the appraised value; and in addition to retaining the exemption of mortgages insured under title I I of the National Housing Act from the
5-year limitation on maturities and 50 percent limitation on appraised values, the amendment permitted amortized loans to be
made in amounts not exceeding 60 percent of the appraised value of
the real estate and for terms not longer than 10 years if installment
payments are sufficient to amortize at least 40 percent of the principal
within 10 years.
The permissible aggregate of real-estate loans of a national bank
was changed from 25 percent of the bank's paid-in and unimpaired
capital and surplus or 50 percent of its savings deposits, whichever
is greater, to 100 percent of its paid-in and unimpaired capital and
surplus or 60 percent of its time and savings deposits, whichever is
greater.
Salary and appointment of Comptroller of the Currency.—Section 325
of the Revised Statutes was amended to increase the Comptroller of
the Currency's salary as Comptroller from $5,000 a year to $15,000
a year, thus replacing the portion of his salary which he formerly
received as a member of the Federal Reserve Board and also increasing his salary to the same extent that Board members' salaries were
increased. The provision that his appointment be made upon the
recommendation of the Secretary of the Treasury also was
eliminated.
"Accidental" holding company affiliates eliminated.—Section 2 (c) of
the Banking Act of 1933 was amended to eliminate from all the
provisions regarding "holding company affiliates" (except section
23A of the Federal Reserve Act, which deals with a member bankV
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
55
loans to such affiliates and investments in and loans on the securities of such affiliates), any corporation all the stock of which is
owned by the United States or any "organization which is determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
not to be engaged, directly or indirectly, as a business in holding
the stock of, or managing or controlling, banks, banking associations,
savings banks, or trust companies."
Section 21 of the Banking Act clarified; inapplicable to banks selling
mortgages.—Section 21 (a) (1) of the Banking Act of 1933 was
amended to make it clear that it does not prohibit any financial
institution or private banker from engaging in the securities business to the limited extent permitted to national banks under section
5136 of the Revised Statutes. (Section 5136 limits national banks,
in dealing in and underwriting securities, to United States Government obligations, general obligations of States or subdivisions, obligations issued under the Federal Farm Loan Act or by the Federal
Home Loan banks or the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, and
certain obligations insured under section 207 of the National Housing Act.) I t also was made clear that section 21 (a) (1) does not
prohibit a bank from selling, without recourse or agreement to
repurchase, obligations evidencing loans on real estate.
Receipt of deposits by persons not subject to State or Federal regulation.—
Section 21 (a) (2) of the Banking Act of 1933, which prohibited any
person not subject to examination and regulation under State or
Federal law from engaging in the business of receiving deposits unless such person submitted to examination by the Comptroller of the
Currency or the Federal Reserve bank of the district, was amended
so as to prohibit any person from engaging in such business with other
than his or its own officers, agents, or employees, unless such person
(1) is incorporated under and authorized to engage in such business
by Federal or local law; or (2) is permitted by local law to engage
in such business and is subject under such law to examination and
regulation; or (3) submits to periodic examination by the banking
authorities of the locality where the business is conducted and makes
and publishes periodic reports of condition under the same conditions as required by local law in the case of incorporated banking
institutions.
Seasonal agencies of national banks.—Section 5155 of the Revised
Statutes was amended to permit a national bank in a State which by
statute permits State banks to maintain branches within county or
greater limits, to establish, with the approval of the Comptroller of
the Currency, without regard to the capital requirements of the sec
tion, a "seasonal agency in any resort community" in the same county
as the main office of such bank. However, the privilege applies only
if no other bank is doing business in the place where the agency is to
56
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL. RESERVE GOVERNORS
be located, and any permit for such an agency must be revoked upon
the opening of a State or national bank in such community. By
reason of the provisions of section 9 of the Federal Reserve Act, State
member banks may, with the approval of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System, establish such agencies under the same
conditions.
Interlocking relationships between member banks and securities com^
panies.—Section 32 of the Banking Act of 1933 was rewritten, effective January 1, 1936, to make the prohibitions against interlocking
relationships between member banks and securities companies extend
to the employees of both such organizations in addition to their
officers and directors; and individuals engaged in the securities business are subjected to the same prohibitions as officers, directors, and
employees of companies and members of partnerships so engaged.
Permission of the Board for such interlocking relationships may be
given "in limited classes of cases" and by "general regulations"
rather than by individual permit. Such relationships may be permitted when they "would not unduly influence the investment policies
of such member bank or the advice it gives its customers regarding
investments", rather than when they would be "not incompatible with
the public interest." The description of the securities businesses in
question was changed from those "engaged primarily in the business
of purchasing, selling, or negotiating securities" to those "primarily
engaged in the issue, flotation, underwriting, public sale, or distribution, at wholesale or retail, or through syndicate participation, of
stocks, bonds, or other similar securities." The prohibition against
correspondent relationships between member banks and securities
companies was eliminated.
Change in amount of investment securities of one obligor that may be
held by member bank.—Section 5136 of the Revised Statutes was
amended to eliminate the existing prohibition against a member bank
purchasing and holding more than 10 percent of a particular issue
of investment securities, but the total obligations of one obligor
which may be purchased and held by a member bank was reduced
from 15 percent of the bank's paid-in and unimpaired capital and
25 percent of its unimpaired surplus, to 10 percent of each, though
banks were not required to dispose of securities lawfully held on the
date of enactment of the bill.
Purchase of stocks for account of customers.—It was made clear, in
conformity with previous rulings of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board, that national and other member banks may
purchase and sell stocks for the account of their customers but not
for their own accounts.
Obligations insured under section 207 of National Housing Act.—Section
5136 of the Revised Statutes was amended to include within the group
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
57
of securities that may be dealt in by member banks free from the
restrictions of that section, obligations insured under section 207 of
the National Housing Act, if the debentures to be issued in payment
of such insured obligations are guaranteed as to principal and interest
by the United States.
Separation of member bank stock certificates from those of other corpora-
tions.—The requirement of section 5139 of the Revised Statutes and
section 9 of the Federal Reserve Act that stock certificates of national
banks or State member banks may not "represent the stock" of any
other corporation, except a member bank or a corporation existing on
the date the requirement became effective "engaged solely in holding
the bank premises", was changed so that such certificates merely may
not "bear any statement purporting to represent the stocks" of any
other corporation, and the transfer of such a certificate may not be
conditioned upon the transfer of stock of any corporation, except a
member bank or a corporation "engaged on June 16, 1934, in holding
the bank premises." A provision also was added to the effect that
the section shall not operate to prevent the transfer of stock of
another corporation being conditioned upon the transfer of a member
bank stock certificate.
Yoting permit unnecessary for liquidation.—Section 5144 of the Re-
vised Statutes was amended to eliminate the necessity for a voting
permit in cases where shares of a member bank held by a holding
company affiliate are to be voted merely in favor of placing the bank
m voluntary liquidation or taking any other action pertaining to
voluntary liquidation of the bank.
Limited voting permits and cumulative voting clarified.—Section 5144
of the Revised Statutes was amended to make it clear that holding
company affiliates which have obtained a voting permit are entitled
to the right of cumulative voting given other shareholders by the
section, and also to make it clear that the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System may issue limited voting permits and is not
confined to issuing general voting permits.
Assets required of holding company.—Section 5144 (c) of the Revised
Statutes wa3 amended to relieve a holding company affiliate, to the
extent that the bank stock owned by it is not subject to statutory
liability, from the provisions of section 5144 (b) which require a
holding company affiliate after June 16, 1938, (1) to possess and
maintain readily marketable assets other than bank stock in an
amount not less than 12 percent of the aggregate par value of all
such stock controlled by it and to increase such amount by 2 percent per annum of such par value until such assets amount to 25
percent of the par value of such bank stock; and (2) to reinvest in
readily marketable assets other than bank stock all net earnings
over 6 percent per annum on the book value of its own shares until
56048—36
5
58
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
such assets amount to 25 percent of the aggregate par value of all
bank stock controlled by it. In lieu of these requirements, a holding
company affiliate, to the extent that the shares of bank stock held
by it are not subject to statutory liability, was made subject to the
provisions of section 5144 (c) which require the holding company
affiliate after June 16, 1938, to establish and maintain out of the
net earnings over 6 percent per annum on the book value of its own
shares, a reserve of readily marketable assets of not less than 12
percent of the aggregate par value of such bank stock controlled
by it.
Reduction in Federal Reserve bank stock to conform to reduction in member bank's surplus.—Section 5 of the Federal Reserve Act was amended
to require member banks to reduce their holdings of Federal Reserve
bank stock upon a reduction in their surplus, just a$ they were
already required to do upon a reduction in their capital.
Certification to Comptroller of the Currency upon change in capital stock
of Federal Reserve bank.—The provisions of section 5 of the Federal
Reserve Act requiring the directors of a Federal Reserve bank to
execute a certificate to the Comptroller of the Currency upon an
increase in the capital stock of such bank, and the provisions of
section 6 of the Federal Reserve Act requiring a similar certification
upon a reduction in such capital stock, were repealed.
Publication of condition reports of State member banks.—Section 9 of
the Federal Reserve Act was amended to authorize the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System to prescribe the information to be contained in, and form of, condition reports of State
member banks, and to require publication of such reports under
regulations of the Board.
Limitation on loans by member banks on Government obligations.—Section 11 (m) of the Federal Reserve Act was amended to place
State member banks on a parity with national banks in lending on
the security of bonds or notes of the United States issued since April
24, 1917, certificates of indebtedness of the United States, Treasury
bills of the United States, or obligations guaranteed as to principal
and interest by the United States, by changing the limitation on loans
to one individual on such security, from 10 percent of the bank's
unimpaired capital and surplus to 25 percent thereof, as provided for
national banks in section 5200 of the Revised Statutes. The latter
provision was amended to make it cover Treasury bills of the United
States and obligations guaranteed as to principal and interest by the
United States, as well as the other Government obligations listed
above.
Indorsement or other security sufficient for Reserve bank discounts for
individuals.—The third paragraph of section 13 of the Federal Reserve
Act was amended to require either indorsement or othor security,
• ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
59
rather than both, for paper discounted by Federal Reserve banks for
individuals or corporations unable to secure adequate credit accommodations from other banks.
Definition by Board of various classes of deposits.—The definitions of
"demand deposits" and "time deposits" were stricken from section 19
of the Federal Eeserve Act, and instead the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System was authorized to define for the purposes of the section the terms, "demand deposits", "gross demand
deposits", "deposits payable on demand", "time deposits", "savings
deposits", and "trust funds", to determine what is to be deemed a
paymeet of interest and to prescribe regulations to effectuate the
purposes of the section; but the term "time deposits" continues to
include "savings deposits" for the purposes of the provisions regarding member bank reserve requirements.
Deduction of "amounts due from banks" in computing reserve requirements.—Section 19 of the Federal Reserve Act was amended so that,
for purposes of computing member bank reserves, amounts due from
other banks (except Federal Reserve banks and foreign banks) and
cash items in process of collection payable immediately upon presentation in the United States may be deducted from gross demand deposits rather than merely from amounts due to other banks.
Payment of deposits and interest thereon by member banks.—Section 19
of the Federal Reserve Act was amended to add to the exemptions
from the prohibition against the payment of interest by member
banks on demand deposits: (1) contracts existing when a bank joins
the System, and (2) deposits payable outside the States of the United
States and the District of Columbia (rather than merely those payable in foreign countries). The exemption of deposits made on
behalf of any State or subdivision thereof as to which interest is
required by State law and of deposits made by mutual savings banks,
is terminated, under the amended law, 2 years after the date of
enactment of the Banking Act of 1935; and during this 2-year period
there are added to these exemptions deposits made by savings banks
and deposits of trust funds on which interest is required by State
law. So much of existing law as requires the payment of interest
on funds deposited by the United States or any territory or possession thereof as is inconsistent with the provisions of section 19 was
repealed.
The provision authorizing the Board, in limiting the rate of interest which may be paid by member banks on time and savings deposits, to prescribe different rates in different circumstances, was
changed to a provision that the Board "shall prescribe different rates
for such payment on time and savings deposits having different maturities, or subject to different conditions respecting withdrawal or
repayment, or subject to different conditions by reason of different
60
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
locations, or according to the varying discount rates of member
banks in the several Federal Reserve districts." The absolute prohibition against the payment of time deposits before maturity was
relaxed to permit such payments under conditions prescribed by the
Board; and deposits payable only at offices of member banks located
outside the States of the United States and the District of Columbia were exempted from all restrictions on payment before maturity
and all restrictions on interest rates.
Eeserves required against Government deposits.—At the end of section
19 of the Federal Eeserve Act a new paragraph was added requiring
member banks to keep the same reserves against deposits of the
United States as against other deposits, thus repealing the contrary
provisions of the Liberty Bond Acts.
Waiver of reports or examinations of affiliates.—A new paragraph was
added to section 21 of the Federal Reserve Act to permit the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Comptroller of
the Currency, as the case may be, to waive examination of, or reports
from, affiliates of a member bank, when they are '"not necessary to
disclose fully the relations between such affiliate and such bank and
the effect thereof upon the affairs of such bank."
Criminal provisions clarified, extended to insured banks.—Section 22 (a)
was amended to make it clear that the prohibitions against loans or
gratuities to bank examiners from member banks, and their officers
and employees, apply only to banks subject to examination by such
examiners; and also to make it clear that the prohibitions and penalties set forth in section 22 (a) apply to State examiners examining
member banks as well as to Federal examiners, but not to private
examiners. The prohibitions were extended to cover insured banks.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation examiners subjected to criminal
provisions.—The prohibition in section 22 (b) of the Federal Reserve
Act against a national bank examiner receiving compensation from
any bank, or officer or employee thereof, was extended to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation examiners; and the restrictions
against examiners revealing the borrowers or collateral of member
banks was extended to cover insured banks.
Borrowings by executive officers of member banks; elimination of criminal penalty.—Section 22 (g) of the Federal Reserve Act forbidding
executive officers of member banks to borrow from their banks was
amended by adding a provision giving the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System power to remove such officers for violations, in lieu of the provision subjecting such officers to fine or imprisonment. The $10,000 fine on the bank was eliminated. Such
loans as were outstanding on June 16, 1933, may, under the amended
law, be extended or renewed until June 16, 1938, if a finding by the
bank directors that such renewal is in the bank's interest and that
ANNUAL REPOKT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
61
the officer has made reasonable effort to reduce his obligation is
spread on the bank's minute book. With the prior approval of a
majority of the bank's directors, loans not exceeding $2,500 from a
member bank to an executive officer are permitted. Borrowing by
a partnership in which one or more executive officers have individually or collectively a majority interest are within the prohibition.
It was made clear that executive officers may, for the protection of
the bank, indorse paper previously taken by it in good faith or may
incur indebtedness to the bank for the purpose of protecting the bank
against loss or giving financial assistance to it. The Board was
given power to define terms used in the section and prescribe regulations to effect its purposes.
Restrictions on loans to affiliates relaxed.—The exemptions from the
limitations of section 23A on member banks' loans to affiliates and
loans on any investments in the securities of affiliates were broadened
so as to include among such exemptions (1) affiliates "engaged on
June 16, 1934", in holding the bank premises (the old law required
them to be "solely" so engaged) or in maintaining and operating
properties acquired for banking purposes prior to that date; (2)
wholly owned subsidiaries of foreign banking corporations organized
under the Federal Reserve Act; (3) wholly owned subsidiaries of
similar corporations in which national banks are authorized to invest
under section 25 of the Federal Eeserve Act; (4) affiliates engaged
solely in holding obligations of, or fully guaranteed as to principal
and interest by, the United States (the previous exemption applied
only to affiliates holding such direct obligations) ; (5) affiliates which
became such through a bona fide previous debt; and (6) affiliates
which are such because their shares are held by the bank as fiduciary
(except when the beneficiaries are a majority of the bank's stockholders).
The section also was made inapplicable to affiliate indebtedness
arising from the unpaid balance due on assets purchased from the
bank, and to loans secured by, or extensions of credit against obligations of, or fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the
United States.
Industrial loans relieved of real-estate restrictions.—Section 24 of the
Federal Eeserve Act was amended to exempt from the restrictions
of that section on real estate loans, all "working capital" loans to industry in which the Reconstruction Finance Corporation or a Federal Reserve bank has participated or made a commitment, or which
it has discounted, loaned upon, or purchased.
Interlocking bank directorates.—The provisions of the Clayton Act
relating to interlocking bank directorates were rewritten to provide
that "no private banker or director, officer, or employee of any mem
62
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
ber bank of the Federal Reserve System or any branch thereof shall
be at the same time a director, officer, or employee of any other bank,
banking association, savings bank, or trust company organized under
the National Bank Act or organized under laws of any State or of the
District of Columbia, or any branch thereof, except that the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System may by regulation permit such service as a director, officer, or employee of not more than one
other such institution or branch thereof." However, the prohibition
does not apply in the case of (1) a bank of which more than'90 percent of the stock is owned by the United States or by any corporation
of which the United States owns more than 90 percent of the stock;
(2) a bank formally in liquidation or receivership; (3) a corporation
principally engaged in foreign banking which has entered into an
agreement with the Board pursuant to section 25 of the Federal Reserve Act; (4) a bank of which more than 50 percent of the common
stock is owned by persons who own more than 50 percent of the common stock of the member banks; (5) a bank not located and having
no branch in the same place where the member bank or branch thereof
is located, or in a place contiguous or adjacent thereto; (6) a bank
not engaged in a class or classes of business in which the member bank
is engaged; and (7) a mutual savings bank having no capital stock.
Until February 1,1939, the amended section will not affect the service
of any director, officer, or employee of any member bank or branch
thereof who was lawfully serving on the date the amendment was
enacted.
Reduction in stock of national bank.—Section 5143 of the Revised
Statutes was amended to eliminate the necessity for a national bank
obtaining the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System in addition to the approval of the Comptroller of the
Currency, before reducing its capital stock.
Branches of State member banks.—Section 9 of the Federal Reserve
Act was amended to require the approval of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System instead of the Comptroller of the
Currency, for State member banks to establish or maintain out-oftown branches.
Interest on postal-savings deposits.—Section 8 of the Postal Savings
Depository Act of June 25, 1910, was amended so as to permit the
withdrawal of postal-savings deposits by depositors without notice
and without loss of interest, except that no interest may be allowed
for any period of less than 3 months. Under the amended law, the
rate of interest paid on such deposits may not exceed the rate which
may lawfully be paid on savings deposits by member banks located
in or nearest to the place where the depository office is situated, and
postal-savings depositories may deposit funds on time with member
banks subject to the provisions of the Federal Reserve Act and regu
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
63
lations thereunder regarding payment of time deposits and interest
thereon.
Preferred stock and capital notes and debentures.—It was provided by
the act that in a case in which a national bank, State member bank,
or bank applying for membership in the Federal Reserve System has
outstanding preferred stock, the determination of whether or not its
capital is impaired and the amount of such impairment shall be
based upon the par value of its stock, even though the amount which
the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to receive in the event
of retirement of the stock or liquidation of the bank shall be greater
than the par value of such stock. Capital notes and debentures of
the type which the Reconstruction Finance Corporation may purchase, and obligations expressly subordinated thereto, may be excluded from the total liabilities of such a bank in determining
whether its capital is impaired.
Other provisions.—In addition to the provisions which have been
specifically referred to above, the Banking Act of 1935 contained a
number of other provisions relating to national banks and to nonmember banks whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, as well as certain miscellaneous provisions
of lesser importance.
CHANGES IN THE REGULATIONS OF THE BOARD
During the year 1935, a number of changes were made in the regulations of the Board. These will be mentioned briefly below.
Payment of interest on deposits.—Late in the year 1934 the Board
announced a change in its Regulation Q relating to the payment of
deposits and interest thereon by member banks, effective February 1,
1935, under which the maximum rate of interest payable on time and
savings deposits by member banks was reduced from 3 percent to 2y2
percent, and certain other detailed amendments were made.
In the latter part of November 1935, this regulation was revised,
effective January 1, 1936.' Up to that date the maximum rate payable by member banks on both time and savings deposits had been
2y2 percent per annum. Under the revised regulation, the maximum
rate payable on savings deposits continued to be 2y2 percent, but with
regard to time deposits the following schedule of maximum rates was
prescribed: On time deposits having a maturity of 6 months or more
or payable upon written notice of 6 months or more and on postalsavings deposits, 2y2 percent; on time deposits having a maturity of
less than 6 months and not less than 90 days or payable upon written notice of less than 6 months and not less than 90 days, 2 percent;
and on time deposits having a maturity of less than 90 days or payable upon written notice of less than 90 days, 1 percent.
64
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
In lieu of the requirement theretofore contained in the regulation
that savings deposits shall consist of funds accumulated for bona fide
thrift purposes, there was substituted a requirement that they shall
consist of funds of one or more individuals or of an organization
operated primarily for religious, philanthropic, charitable, educational, fraternal, or other similar purposes, and not operated for
profit. The provision of the regulation requiring the presentation
of the pass book whenever a withdrawal is made was liberalized so
as to permit withdrawals through payment to any authorized person
presenting the pass book and to permit withdrawals without presentation of the pass book where payment is made to the depositor in
person or is remitted by an instrument payable to the depositor.
The revised regulation defined the term "interest" so as to include, among other things, the payment or absorption of exchange
or collection charges which involve out-of-pocket expenses. However, pending action by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on its regulation relating to the payment of interest on deposits by insured nonmember banks, the Board, on December 28,
1935, deferred until further action by the Board, the effective date
of subsection 1 (f) of the regulation, which contains the definition
of the term "interest." The regulation also permitted the payment
of time deposits before maturity in certain circumstances, and authorized loans to depositors on security of time or savings deposits
at a rate of interest not less than 1 percent in excess of the rate paid
on the deposits.
Reserves of member banks.—The Board also issued, effective January
1, 1936, a revision of Regulation D relating to the reserves which
member banks are required to maintain with the Federal Reserve
banks, making a number of changes in the regulation to conform
to amendments to the law contained in the Banking Act of 1935.
Reserve requirements were not changed in the revised regulation
but, in accordance with the authority conferred upon the Board by
the Banking Act of 1935 to change reserve requirements, the revised
regulation provides that the actual net balance which each member
bank is required to maintain on deposit with the Federal Reserve
bank of its district shall be changed by such percentage, within the
limits prescribed by law, as the Board shall prescribe from time to
time in order to prevent injurious credit expansion or contraction.
Loans to executive officers.—The Banking Act of 1933 amended section 22 of the Federal Reserve Act by adding thereto a new subsection which prohibited member banks from making loans to their
executive officers and prohibited such officers from borrowing from
such banks, under a criminal penalty. The criminal penalty was
discontinued by the Banking Act of 1935 and the Board of Govern
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
65
nors was authorized by that act to issue regulations with respect
to this subject and to remove offending officers from office for violation. The Board's new Regulation O was issued pursuant to this
authority to become effective January 1, 1936, and contains, among
other things, definitions of the terms "executive officer", "extension
of credit", and similar terms. The Board's old Regulation O, issued
in 1915, and containing instructions to Federal Reserve agents regarding the issuance and retirement of Federal Reserve notes, was
revoked, and revised instructions on the subject were issued in a
letter addressed to the Federal Reserve agents.
Extension of credit by brokers, dealers, and members of securities exchanges.—During the year the Board approved six amendments to its
Regulation T relating to the extension and maintenance of credit by
brokers, dealers, and members of national securities exchanges. Four
of these amendments became effective on May 10, 1935, one on August
8, 1935, and one on October 29, 1935. The amendments, which were
largely of a clarifying or technical character, related to cash transactions and such administrative matters as maintenance of credit in
limited cases without collateral or required collateral, the payment of
interest and dividends from restricted accounts under certain limitations, the transfer of accounts from one customer to another, and the
elimination of loan value for short-term warrants evidencing rights
to subscribe to securities.
Membership of State banking institutions in the Federal Reserve System.—The Board also approved a revision of its Regulation H relating to membership of State banking institutions in the Federal Reserve System to become effective January 1, 1936. A number of
changes made necessary by recent amendments to the law were incorporated in the revised regulation, and the standard conditions of
membership to be accepted by State institutions upon admission to
the Federal Reserve System were revised and simplified.
Issuance and cancelation of Federal Eeserve bank stock.—The Board's
Regulation I, relating to the increase or decrease of capital stock of
Federal Reserve banks and the cancelation of old and the issue of
new stock certificates, was revised, effective January 1, 1936. The
procedure for the issuance and cancelation of Federal Reserve bank
stock was simplified in the, revised regulation, which also contains
certain changes necessary to conform to recent amendments to the
statute.
Holding company affiliates—voting permits.—Regulation P relating to
holding company affiliates and voting permits was amended, effective
January 1, 1936, so as to incorporate certain changes, mostly of a
technical character, made necessary by amendments to the law contained in the Banking Act of 1935.

ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
CREDIT AGREEMENTS WITH FOREIGN CENTRAL BANKS
Federal Reserve participation in the two credits granted to the
National Bank of Hungary in 1931 by the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, with the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and in association with other Federal Reserve
banks, the Bank for International Settlements, and a number of
foreign central banks, was reduced during 1935 from $3,140,000 to
$2,520,000. Most of the reduction occurred on April 18, partly by
anticipation of the schedule of repayments embodied in the consolidated agreement of 1933, to which reference was made in the annual
report of the Board for that year. Federal Reserve participation in
the credits takes the form of purchases of prime commercial bills
guaranteed by the National Bank of Hungary.
The demand deposit at the Bank for International Settlements
made by the Federal Reserve banks with the approval of the Board
of Governors for the purchase from time to time of bills guaranteed
by that bank, as well as Federal Reserve holdings of bills purchased
under the arrangement, remained substantially unchanged during
1935. At the end of the year the deposit amounted to $540,000 and
bill holdings amounted to $2,000,000.
On February 20, 1935, the Federal Reserve banks, acting through
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and with the approval of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, granted a
credit of $200,000 to the National Bank of Nicaragua secured by
gold. The credit was to run for a period of approximately 4 months,
but by May 8 it was completely repaid. Between November 6 and
December 23, additional short-term credits secured by gold were
granted by the Federal Reserve banks in an aggregate amount of
$350,000, to mature between February 8 and April 21, 1936. These
credits were granted to the National Bank of Nicaragua for the purpose of meeting a seasonal shortage of dollar exchange pending the
sale abroad of the Nicaraguan coffee crop.
BANK EXAMINATIONS
Under the provisions of the Federal Reserve Act, State member
banks are subject to examinations made by direction of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or of the Federal Reserve banks by examiners selected or approved by the Board of
Governors. The examination of State member banks made pursuant to such provisions are made by examiners for the various Federal
Reserve banks, whose appointments are approved by the Board of
Governors and who work under the direction of the Federal Reserve
agents. The policy approved by the Board of Governors of the
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
67
Federal Reserve System provides that at least one regular examination of each State member bank, including its trust department, be
made during each calendar year by examiners for the Federal Reserve banks, either independently or jointly with State banking
authorities.
In accordance with the policy of making joint examinations wThereever practicable in order to avoid duplication of examinations and
minimize any inconvenience to the banks examined, most of the
examinations of State member banks made during the year by examiners for the Federal Reserve banks were joint examinations
made in cooperation with the State banking authorities.
In the latter part of 1933 and in accordance with the procedure
approved by the Board of Governors, each of the Federal Reserve
agents made arrangements to add to his staff one or more examiners
especially qualified to make examinations of trust departments. The
development of more complete examinations of the trust departments of State member banks was an important feature of the examinations of such banks during the year 1934 and this phase of
examination procedure was further developed in the program of
examinations of State member banks in 1935. Particular emphasis
in the examination of trust departments of State member banks continued to be laid upon policies and practices of the banks in the
investment of trust funds and the discharge of their fiduciary
responsibilities.
A conference of the assistant Federal ^Reserve agents in charge
of examinations for the Federal Reserve banks, the chief examiners
and the trust examiners for the Federal Reserve banks, and representatives of the Board of Governors, was held in Washington in
the fall of 1935. The conference, similar to the one held in 1934,
was called at the request of the Board of Governors for the purpose
of further coordinating the examination activities of the various
Federal Reserve banks and developing a more uniform procedure
with respect thereto.
Under the provisions of section 12B of the Federal Reserve Act,
as amended June 16, 1934, the Board of Governors was required to
certify to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, in connection
with the inauguration of the permanent plan for insurance of deposits which had been postponed until July 1, 1935, whether or not
the assets of each State member bank which had made application
to become a class A stockholder of the Corporation were adequate
to enable it to meet all of its labilities to depositors and other creditors as shown by the books of the bank. As had been the case in the
preceding year, a program of examinations of State member banks
was developed by the Board of Governors and the Federal Reserve
68
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
agents to provide current reports of examination on the basis of
which the required certifications might be made. In anticipation
of the inauguration of the permanent plan of insurance on July 1,
1935, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation submitted to the
Board of Governors the names of a number of Slate member banks
which had made application to become class A stockholders of the
Corporation and requested the Board to make the required certifications of the banks named. A number of certifications were made
by the Board of Governors to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation prior to July 1, 1935, but the necessity for further action
in this connection was removed by the postponement of the effective
date for permanent insurance of deposits and the subsequent enactment of the Banking Act of 1935 which eliminated the requirement
for certification.
All of the 12 Federal Keserve banks were examined during the
year by the Board's Division of Examinations.
An examination by the Board's Division of Examinations was
made during the year of the head office of the only banking corporation now in operation organized under the provisions of section
25 (a) of the Federal Keserve Act, generally referred to as the Edge
Act, to engage in foreign and international banking business,
TRUST POWERS OF NATIONAL
BANKS
During the year 1935 30 national banks were granted authority
by the Board to exercise tone or more trust powers under the provisions of section 11 (k) of the Federal Keserve Act? and 15 national
banks surrendered their right to exercise such powers.
In addition to granting trust powers as stated above, the Board
also gave consideration to a number of applications for trust powers
where the condition of the bank, the character of the management,
the need for fiduciary powers or other related matters were such
that the grant of unrestricted trust powers did not appear to be
warranted. The disposition of such applications varied according
to the facts and circumstances in each case. Certain applications
were denied; others were approved in restricted form to permit the
applicant bank to acquire certain trust accounts from a predecessor
bank but not to acquire new fiduciary business; while in other cases
action by the Board was deferred pending an examination of the
applicant bank, the strengthening of its capital structure, or action
in connection with changes or corrections in the asset condition of
the bank, its management or other pertinent factors.
On December 31, 1935, 1,923 national banks were holding permits
to exercise trust powers. A list of such banks appears on pages
273-292 of this report. In addition, 13 national banks were authorized at that time to exercise restricted trust powers only.
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS

REDUCTIONS I N CAPITAL STOCK OF NATIONAL BANKS
The Banking Act of 1935, effective August 23, 1935, eliminated
the requirement that reductions in capital stock of national banks
be approved by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. During the period from January 1, 1935, to August 23,
1935, the Board approved the applications of, 76 national banks for
permission to reduce the amount of their capital stock. In a great
majority of the cases the reductions were in connection with the issuance of preferred stock, the released capital being used to provide
for the elimination of worthless and undesirable assets.
ADMINISTRATION OF SECTIONS 8 AND 8A OF THE CLAYTON ANTITRUST ACT
Section 329 of the Banking Act of 1935 amended the Clayton
Antitrust Act by repealing section 8A thereof and by substituting
for the first three paragraphs of section 8 a provision prohibiting
a private banker or a director, officer, or employee of a member bank
of the Federal Reserve System from being at the same time a director, officer, or employee of any other bank, banking association,
savings bank, or trust company organized under the National Bank
Act or organized under the laws of any State or of the District of
Columbia except in certain classes of cases described in the statute
and in such other cases, involving not more than one other such
institution, as the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
may by regulation permit. Under the provisions of the act as
amended individual permits are no longer issued by the Board.
From January 1, 1935, to August 23, 1935, the effective date of the
Banking Act of 1935, the Board acted upon the applications of
approximately 680 persons for individual permits to serve at the
same time as director, officer, or employee of more than one bank,
banking association, savings bank, or trust company where such
service was, without such a permit, within the prohibitory provisions
of the law.
On August 23, 1935, the applications of 20 persons not previously
acted upon by the Board were pending in the Board's offices in
Washington. A number of these cases involved relationships which
were no longer prohibited by the Clayton Act as amended. In addition a small number of cases consisting of applications previously
disapproved were awaiting reconsideration.
Pursuant to the authority contained in the act as amended, the
Board granted permission to any person who had filed an application
for permission to serve two or more banks within the prohibitions
of section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act which had been received
at the offices of the Board in Washington on or before August 23,
70
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
1935, and on which the Board had taken no action prior to such
date, to serve as director, officer, or employee of any member bank
named in such application and of any other one bank, banking association, savings bank, or trust company named in such application, in
addition to any service otherwise lawful under the Clayton Antitrust
Act, until the adoption of general regulations by the Board or until
March 1, 1936, whichever was the earlier. On January 4, 1936, the
Board adopted and issued a revision of its Regulation L relating to
Interlocking Bank Directorates Under the Clayton Act based upon
the provisions of section 8 as amended by the Banking Act of 1935.
In the revised regulation the permission above referred to was made
applicable to individuals whose applications were pending on August
23, 1935, at the offices of the Federal Reserve agents as well as at
the Board's offices in Washington, and was made effective until the
next election of directors of the institutions involved or until March
1, 1936, whichever was the earlier, provided the Board had taken
no adverse action on such application prior to August 23, 1935.
Permission was granted under similar circumstances to a private
banker to serve one bank included in his application.
ADMINISTRATION OF SECTION 3 2 OF THE BANKING ACT OF 193 3
Section 32 of the Banking Act of 1933 made it unlawful for an
officer or director of a member bank to be an officer, director, or
manager of an organization engaged primarily in the business of
purchasing, selling, or negotiating securities, and prohibited correspondent relationships between such organizations and member
banks, except when authorized by a permit therefor issued by the
Board; and the Board was authorized to issue such permit if in its
judgment it was not incompatible with the public interest and to
revoke such permit if the public interest required.
During 1935 the Board acted upon 28 applications of individuals
under the provisions of that section. Of this number, 5 were denied,
and in the remaining cases, it was found that the statute was not
applicable. In connection with such cases, there was no change in
the policy of the Board which was outlined in its annual report
for 1934. The Board also considered a number of requests for rulings
as to the applicability of this section in cases in which formal applications were not filed, and also gave further consideration to a
number of applications which had previously been denied.
The Board also extended until January 1, 1936, the blanket permit
referred to in its annual report for 1934 authorizing member banks
to have correspondent relationships in connection with underwriting
and dealing in United States Government obligations, municipal
bonds, and certain other specified types of securities which member
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
71
banks are authorized to underwrite and deal in under other provisions of law.
As indicated elsewhere in this report, section 32 of the Banking
Act of 1933 was amended, effective January 1, 1936, by the Banking
Act of 1935. The amendments eliminated the provisions dealing
with correspondent relationships, and made several other changes,
one of which authorized the Board to permit interlocking personnel
relationships between member banks and securities organizations of
the kind referred to above in limited classes of cases, by general
regulations rather than by individual permits.
AFFILIATES OF MEMBER BANKS
The Banking Act of 1935 amended former provisions of law pertaining to reports of affiliates by authorizing the Comptroller of
the Currency and the Board to waive the requirement of reports of
affiliates of national banks or State member banks, respectively, in
cases in which, in their judgment, a report is not necessary to disclose fully the relations between the affiliate and the bank and the
effect thereof upon the affairs of the bank. Under authority of the
amended provisions both the Board and the Comptroller of the Currency have prescribed conditions with respect to the waiving of such
reports. In substance, the waiver applies in all cases where the
member bank has no financial interest in the affiliate, either as stockholder or creditor, in an amount in excess of $5,000 or 1 percent of
the bank's capital and surplus, whichever is the less, and in all
cases where the affiliation arises purely from a fiduciary relationship. The effect is to exempt banks from furnishing reports of
organizations which technically are their affiliates, but where the
relationship has no practical effect upon the affairs of the banks
concerned.
Section 301 of the Banking Act of 1935 amended section 2 of the
Banking Act of 1933 by providing that the term "holding company
affiliate" shall not include (except for purpose^ of section 23A of
the Federal Eeserve Act) any organization which is determined by
the Board not to be engaged, directly or indirectly, as a business in
holding the stock of, or managing or controlling, banks, banking
associations, savings banks, or trust companies. Under authority
of this provision the Board made such determinations with respect
to 72 organizations.
During the year 1935 the Board acted upon the applications for
voting permits submitted by holding company affiliates of member
banks in accordance with the provisions of section 5144 of the Revised Statutes, as amended, and section 9 of the Federal Eeserve
Act, as amended, and authorized the issuance of permits as follows:
72
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
For general purposes, 34; for miscellaneous limited purposes only,
such as issuance of preferred stock, reduction of common stock, etc.,
72; for the election of directors for the year 1935 and the transaction
of routine matters only, 7; for the election of directors for the year
1935, the transaction of routine matters and for other miscellaneous
purposes, 8; for the election of directors for the year 1936 and the
transaction of routine matters only, 9.
In connection with the issuance of general voting permits, the
Board approved, after careful consideration, a form of agreement
containing certain standard provisions which, in its opinion, would
be appropriate to accomplish the purposes of the law, to be executed
by each holding company affiliate as a condition precedent to the
issuance of a general voting permit, in addition to such special conditions as the Board might see fit to prescribe in authorizing the
issuance of general permits in particular cases. The standard form
of agreement is discussed more fully on page 217.
MEETINGS OF FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE
In accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph of section
12A of the Federal Reserve Act, four meetings of the Federal Open
Market Committee were held in Washington during 1935. These
meetings were held on February 5, May 27-28, October 22-24, and
December 17-18, 1935. The executive committee of the Federal
Open Market Committee met from time to time throughout the
year as occasion required.
MEETINGS OF FEDERAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
Four meetings of the Federal Advisory Council were held in Washington during 1935 on the following dates: February 19-20, April 10;
September 23-24, and November 20-21.
ORGANIZATION, STAFF, AND EXPENDITURES
On January 2, 1935, Philip E. Bradley was appointed assistant
chief of the Division of Security Loans.
Effective May 1, 1935, George B. Vest and B. Magruder Wingfield
were appointed assistant general counsel to the Board; R. F. Leonard and C. E. Cagle were appointed assistant chiefs of the Division
of Examinations; and J. E. Horbett was appointed assistant chief of
the Division of Bank Operations.
On May 9,1935, Elliott Thurston was appointed as special assistant
to the Governor of the Board. Mr. Thurston's title was changed to
special assistant to the Chairman, effective August 23, 1935.
ANNUAL KEPOET OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
73
Effective August 23, 1935, the title of Lawrence Clayton, formerly
assistant to the Governor, was changed to assistant to the Chairman.
The total cost of conducting the work of the Board during the
year 1935 was approximately $1,457,435.70. This is exclusive of
expenditures in the amount of $825,431.38 made in connection with
the acquisition of a site for, and expenses in connection with, the
new building to be erected by the Board. Two assessments were
levied against the Federal Reserve banks aggregating $1,405,897.96,
or somewhat less than one-half of 1 percent of their average paid-in
capital and surplus for the year. Under an arrangement with the
Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland the accounts of the Board were
audited four times during the course of the year 1935 by the auditor
of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and certify by him to be
correct.

Includes Government overdrafts in 1918, 1919, and 1920.
2 By proclamation of the President dated at 3:10 p. m. Jan. 31, 1934, the weight of the gold dollar was
reduced from 25Mo grains to 15%! grains, nine-tenths fine. The resulting increase of $2,806,000,000 (as
of Feb. 1, 1934) in the value of the monetary gold stock was covered into the Treasury as a miscellaneous
receipt and is reflected in an increase in the item "Treasury cash and deposits with Federal Reserve banks."
3 Comprises outstanding United States notes, national bank notes, silver certificates (included in lieu of
the silver dollars or silver bullion pledged against them), Treasury notes of 1890, standard silver dollars
(excepting those pledged against silver certificates), subsidiary silver and minor coin, and the Federal
Reserve bank notes for the retirement of which lawful money has been deposited with the Treasurer of the
United States, including the currency of these kinds that is held in the Treasury and the Federal Reserve
banks
as well as that in circulation.
4
Government funds on deposit with the Federal Reserve banks and cash (including gold bullion) held
in the Treasury excepting (a) gold and silver held against gold and silver certificates and (6) amounts held
for the Federal Reserve banks.
s Item includes all deposits in Federal Reserve banks except Government deposits and member bank
reserve
balances.
6
This item is derived from the condition statement of the Federal Reserve banks by adding capital,
surplus, reserve for contingencies, and "all other liabilities" and subtracting the sum of bank premises and
"all other assets."
i Figures not available prior to 1929 and since April 1933 are for licensed member banks only.

1 Gold released from earmark at Federal Reserve banks less gold placed under earmark (with allowance
made when necessary for change in gold earmarked abroad for account of Federal Reserve banks). See
table 31, note 1, and table 33.
2
Derived from preceding columns, reflecting net result of such factors as domestic production, movements into and out of nonmonetary use, imports and exports that do not affect gold stock during m o n t h or
year, and increment resulting from reduction in weight of gold dollar.
3 Differs from Department of Commerce figures, since $8,900,000 declared for export on F e b . 28 was not
actually taken from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York until Mar. 1.
4
Increase in gold stock during February 1934 results principally from reduction in weight of gold dollar
on Jan. 31; see note to table 1. Figures based on rate of $20.67 a fine ounce through J a n u a r y 1934 and $35 a
fine ounce thereafter.
Back figures.—For data b y months in earlier years, except total monetary gold stock, see Annual Report
for 1932 (table 47) and similar tables in previous annual reports; see table 31 for revised monetary gold stock
figures by m o n t h s in earlier years.

Money outside Treasury and Federal Reserve banks (prior to November 1914, money outside Treasury). Figures after Jan. 31, 1934, do.not include gold coin and priorfiguresfor purposes of comparison with
currentfigureshave been reduced by $287,000,000, the estimated amount of gold coin in circulation on Jan.
31, 1934. See also footnotes to table 1. Forfiguresas of other dates see tables 1, 3, and 4.
2 Figures prior to June 21, 1917 (when legislation became effective changing reserve requirements of
member banks), while comparable with one another, are not strictly comparable with those for succeeding
dates; the transfer to the Federal Reserve banks of that part of legal reserves of member banks formerly
held in own vaults reduced the volume of money outside Treasury and Federal Reserve banks (see note 1).
The increasing membership of State banks in the Federal Reserve System after June 1917 had a similar
elfect upon the figures.

NOTE.—Figures relate to rates charged by reporting banks to their own customers as distinguished from
open-market rates, which are given in tables 42 and 43. All averages are based on rates reported for 3
types of customer loans—commercial loans, and demand and time loans on securities. The method of
computing the averages takes into account (a) the relative importance of each of these 3 types of loans and
(6) the relative importance of each reporting bank, as measured by total loans. In the 2 group averages
the average rate for each city included is weighted according to the importance of that city in the group, as
measured by the loans of all banks.
Backfigures.—SeeAnnual Report for 1934 (table 57) and similar tables in previous annual reports.

Comprises all national banks in the continental United States and all State commercial banks, trust
companies, mutual and stock savings banks, and such private and industrial banks as are included in
abstracts issued by State banking departments. Also includes, during the period June 1934-June 1935,
private banks which, under the provisions of sec. 21 (a) of the Banking Act of 1933, submitted condition
reports to the Comptroller of the Currency; under the amended provisions of sec. 21 (a) private banks no
longer report to the Comptroller of the Currency. For comparative figures of private banks included in
the abovefiguresfrom June 1934 to December 1935, see Federal Reserve Bulletin for December 1935 (p. 883)
and May 1936 (p. 398).
2 Date of reports of member banks;figuresfor nonmember banks are as of nearest available date.
3
Figures for this date, which preceded establishment of the Federal Reserve System, relate to national
banks and banks other than national, respectively, rather than to member and nonmember banks.
* Beginning June 30, 1933, all figures (other than for mutual savings banks) relate to licensed banks
only, with some exceptions as to nonmember banks.
« Prior to Dec. 30, 1933, member bank figures include interbank deposits not subject to immediate
withdrawal, which aggregated $103,000,000 on that date.

Includes mutual savings banks and private banks under State supervision (see table on p. 42 for the
number of such banks in operation and for the number of branches maintained by banks at the end of
1934 and 1935). In addition, the figures for the beginning and end of 1934 and 1935 include 46 private banks
not under State supervision which reported to the Comptroller of the Currency during the period June
1934-June 1935 pursuant to the provisions of sec. 21 (a) of the Banking Act of 1933 and which were placed
under State supervision during the year 1935; the total number of private banks which reported to the
Comptroller of the Currency under the provisions of sec. 21 (a) of the Banking Act of 1933 was 131 on June
30, 1934, 140 on Dec. 31, 1934, and 144 on June 29, 1935. Under amended provisions of law, private banks
no2 longer report to the Comptroller of the Currency.
Includes 3 new banks which were admitted to membership in the Federal Reserve System on the
dates of opening.
NOTE.—The differences between the number of nonmember banks in operation as shown in this table
and the number shown in table 47 are due principally to the fact that the figures in this table exclude trust
companies and other financial institutions which do not receive deposits but which are included in State
bank abstracts and are consequently also included in the figures in table 47 (these institutions numbered
72 on Dec. 31, 1935). Minor differences in the 2 sets of figures are due to the exclusion from this table and
the inclusion in table 47 of a few banks absorbed by other banks, banks in liquidation, and banks operating
under restrictions, which were included in State bank abstracts, and to the fact that for some States (as
shown in a footnote appended to table 47) the figures in table 47 are as of call dates prior to the end of the
year.

1 The ratios are based upon data taken from the customary abstracts of reports of condition and of earnings and dividends. It should bs borne in mind in using them that the
statistics employed represent aggregates for all member bants reporting on the various dates, an:i r,ne ratios ara tharefora ratios of aggragates in which figures for large banks have a
statistical influence somewhat disproportionate to their number in comparison with the figures for small banks. No adjustments have, been made in the underlying data for changes
during a given year in the number of banks whose reports underlie the statistics, sinca the figures presented are for sufficiently large groups that the results appear not to be appreciably
affected
by these changes.
2
For 1933, figures of loans, investments, deposits, and capital funds are averages of amounts from reports of condition for 3 call dates (June 30, Oct. 25, and Dec. 30, 1933); for
other years they are averages of amounts for all call dates during the year and the last call date in the previous year.
<* Figures for 1928-31 have been revised by transferring profits on securities sold from ''Earnings" to "Recoveries, profits on securities, etc."
4
Includes interest on capital notes and debentures.
* By "capital funds" is meant the aggregate book value of capital stock, capital notes and debentures, surplus, undivided profits, reserves for contingencies, reserves for stock dividends on common stock, and retirement fund for preferred stock and/or capital notes and debentures. Prior to July 1932, reserves for dividends were also included in capital funds.

NOTE.—Figures represent debits or charges on the books of reporting member and nonmember banks
to deposit accounts of individuals, partnerships, corporations, and the United States, State, county, and
municipal governments. The figures include debits to postal savings accounts, other savings accounts,
payments from trust accounts on deposit in the banking department, and certificates of deposits paid;
they do not include debits to the accounts of other banks or in settlement of clearing house balances, payments of certified and officers' checks, charges to expense and miscellaneous accounts, corrections, and

fall within a single calendar month being prorated on the basis of the number of business days falling
within the respective months.
Back figures.—See Annual Report for 1934 (table 78) and similar tables in previous annual reports;
series begins with 1919. Corresponding figures for each Federal Reserve district and for each reporting

1 Deposits of nonlicensed national banks (in 1933) are as of dates of conservatorship; deposits of nonlicensed State bank members are as of the nearest call dates prior to the date of liquidation or receivership;
deposits of nonlicensed nonmember banks are based on the latest data available at the time the banks were
reported as having been placed in liquidation or receivership; deposits of suspended national and State bank
members are as of dates of suspension; and deposits of suspended nonmember banks are as of dates of suspension or the latest available call dates prior thereto.
2 Includes 39 banks with deposits of $15,080,000 which were placed in receivership during the banking
holiday (Mar. 6 to Mar. 15, 1933).
3 At the close of the banking holiday, Mar. 15, 1933, 1,400 national banks with deposits of $1,942,574,000
and 221 State bank members with deposits of $924,177,000 had not been licensed to reopen. As indicated
above, 866 of the nonlicensed national banks and 74 of the nonlicensed State bank members were placed in
liquidation or receivership; the remainder were licensed during 1933-35. On Apr. 12, 1933, the first date
following the banking holiday for which complete data for both member and nonmember banks are available, there were 1,108 nonlicensed national banks with deposits of $1,818,541,000,148 nonlicensed State bank
members with deposits of $841,382,000, and 2,938 nonlicensed nonmember banks with deposits of
$1,317,607,000. The net reduction in the number of nonli censed banks by Apr. 12,1933, was a result principally of the licensing of additional banks and secondarilyof the placing of nonlicensed banks in liquidation
or receivership, but certain other minor adjustments in the figures of nonlicensed banks came about by reason
of miscellaneous changes in the status of banks. Of the 2,938 nonlicensed nonmember banks on Apr. 12,
1933, all but 40 had either been licensed to reopen or had been placed in liquidation or receivership by
Dec. 31,1935 (the latter figure includes 3 banks which were suspended in 1932 and which were permitted to
operate on a restricted basis following the banking holiday in 1933 but which had neither been licensed
nor placed in liquidation or receivership by Dec. 31, 1935, and 10 banks whose licenses had been revoked
after the banking holiday and which had not been relicensed or otherwise disposed of by Dec. 31, 1935).
NOTE.—Corresponding data by classes of banks, by Federal Reserve districts and by States appear in
the Annual Reports for 1933 (tables 103-104) and 1934 (tables 81-84) and 1935 (table 70); monthly figures for
the period 1921-32 appear in the Annual Report for 1932 (table 94).

* Computed by Division of Research and Statistics of U. S. Treasury Department.
23 Standard Statistics Co.
Moody's Investors' Service. Since the early part of 1934 less than 40 industrial bonds have been
included, owing to the fact that the number of industrials with Aaa ratings has been reduced from 10 to 4
and with Aa ratings from 10 to 3.
Backfigures.—SeeAnnual Report for 1934 (table 94), and similar tables in previous annual reports, and
for U. S. Government bonds, Federal Reserve Bulletin for June 1934, p. 322, and August 1935, p. 500.

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS—BOARD OF GOVERNORS
Following is a copy of record of actions by the Board of Governors of the Federal Eeserve System on questions of policy, required to be kept by the last paragraph of section 10 of the Federal
Reserve Act, as amended by the Banking Act of 1935.
MEETING ON MONDAY, AUGUST 2 6, 19 35
Present: Mr. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr. Hamlin, Mr. Miller,
Mr. James.
Action on section 10 (b) rates established by Federal Reserve banks.
There was presented for consideration a telegram from the Federal
Reserve Bank of Kansas City stating that the board of directors of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, on August 24, 1935, made
no change in the existing schedule of rates of discount and purchase,
except to establish a rate of 2y2 percent per annum for loans to member banks under section 10 (b) of the Federal Reserve Act as amended.
In this connection, attention was directed to the fact that the rate in
effect at the Kansas City bank at this time on discounts for member
banks under the provisions of sections 13 and 13 (a) of the Federal
Reserve Act is 2 percent per annum and that, under the law, the
rate on advances under section 10 (b) of the Federal Reserve Act as
amended may not be less than one-half of 1 percent per annum
higher than such discount rate. The Board's Secretary was authorized to advise the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City that the
Board of Governors has noted with approval that the bank made
no change in its existing schedule of rates of discount and purchase,
and that the Board approves for the bank a rate of 2y2 percent per
annum on advances to member banks under section 10 (b) of the
Federal Reserve Act as amended, effective immediately.
Approved unanimously.
In accordance with the policy established by the above action the
Board on subsequent dates, by unanimous votes of the members
present, approved rates established by the other Federal Reserve
banks on advances under section 10 (b) which were in each instance
one-half of 1 percent higher than the discount rate in effect.
Monthly reports from member firms of national securities exchanges.
Consideration was given to a recommendation from the Chief of
the Division of Security Loans that, in accordance with subsection
(b) of section 17 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, monthly
reports, in a form which was submitted for approval, be required
from member firms of national securities exchanges. Attention was
directed to the fact that information which had been received indicated that customers' debit balances had begun to increase in recent
199
200
ANNUAL KEPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
months and that the development of a dependable reporting service
would take considerable time.
In this connection, the Board was advised that, in the opinion of
its counsel, reports in the proposed form may be properly and legally
required by the Board from all members of national securities exchanges who extend credit, "as necessary or appropriate to enable
it to perform the functions" conferred upon it by the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.
It was unanimously directed, in accordance with subsection (b)
of section 17 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that monthly
reports in the form submitted be required from time to time, as necessary or appropriate to enable the Board to perform the functions
conferred upon it by that act, from all firms extending credit, of
which any partner is a member of the New York Stock Exchange or
of any other national securities exchange and which are subject to
the rules and regulations prescribed by the Board. The right was
reserved to require such amended or additional report or reports as
the Board might from time to time deem necessary or appropriate
to enable it to perform the functions conferred upon it by the act.
MEETING ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2 8, 19 35
Present: Mr. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr. Miller, Mr. James,
Mr. Szymczak.
Publication of reports of condition of State member banks.
In view of the amendment to section 9 of the Federal Eeserve Act
contained in the Banking Act of 1935 providing in part that reports
of condition of State member banks of the Federal Reserve System
rendered to their respective Federal Reserve banks as of call dates
fixed by the Board "shall be published by the reporting banks in such
manner and in accordance with such regulations as the said Bourd
may prescribe",, and, in order that State member banks would be required to publish reports of condition in a manner similar to that
followed under existing law in the publication of reports of condition
by national banks, it was unanimously voted that the following regulation covering the publication of condition reports be adopted and
printed on the reverse side of the form of condition reports submitted
by State member banks:
Each report of condition made by a State bank member of
the Federal Reserve System, which is required to be made to
the Federal Reserve bank of its district as of call dates fixed by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, shall
be published by such member bank within 20 days from the
receipt of the call therefor.
The report must be printed in a newspaper published in the
place where the bank is located or, if there is no newspaper published in the place where the bank is located, then in a newspaper
published in the same county and in general circulation in the
place where the bank is located. By "newspaper", for the purpose of this regulation, is meant a publication with a general
circulation published not less frequently than once a week, one
of the primary functions of which is the dissemination of news
of general interest.
POLICY ACTIONS—BOAED OF GOVERNORS
201
The copy of the report for the use of the printer should be prepared on the face side of form 105e. The published information
must agree in every respect with that shown on the face side of
the condition report rendered to the Federal Keserve bank, except that any item for which no amount is reported may be
omitted in the published statement. All signatures must be the
same in the published statement as in the original report submitted to the Federal Keserve bank, but the signatures may be
typewritten or otherwise copied on the report for publication.
A copy of the printed report must be submitted to the Federal Reserve bank attached to the publisher's certificate on the
reverse side of form 105e.
Waiver of reports of affiliates of State member banks.
The Banking Act of 1935 amended section 21 of the Federal
Reserve Act to authorize the Board to waive the requirement for
reports of affiliates of State member banks with respect to any report of any affiliate if in the judgment of the Board such report is
not necessary to disclose fully the relations between the affiliate and
the member bank and the effect thereof upon the affairs of such bank.
Pursuant to such authority and in order to carry out the purposes
of the law, it was voted unanimously to amend the Board's instructions governing the preparation of reports of affiliates of State member banks to incorporate therein the following provisions, such action being taken with the understanding that the Comptroller of
the Currency would adopt similar provisions relating to the waiver
of reports of affiliates of national banks since it was deemed important that the waiver of the requirement for reports of affiliates be
the same for affiliates of both national banks and State member
banks:
Pursuant to section 21 of the Federal Reserve Act, as
amended, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System waives the requirement for the submission of reports of
affiliates (other than of holding company affiliates, as denned in
section 2 (c) of the Banking Act of 1933, as amended) of State
bank members of the Federal Reserve System, except:
(a) Where the affiliation exists by reason of control by the
member bank as defined in section 2 (b) ( l ) o f the Banking Act
of 1933, as amended, which provision reads a$ follows:
"Except where otherwise specifically provided, the term 'affiliate' shall include any corporation, business trust, association, or
other similar organization—
"Of which a member bank, directly or indirectly, owns or
controls either a majority of the voting shares or more than 50
per centum of the number of shares voted for the election of its
directors, trustees, or other persons exercising similar functions
at the preceding election, or controls in any manner the election
of a majority of its directors, trustees, or other persons exercising similar functions."
(b) Where the affiliate has been indebted to the member bank
for more than 6 months in the 12 months preceding the report
date in an amount in excess of 1 percent of the bank's unimpaired
capital and surplus or $5,000, whichever amount is the smaller,
56048*—36
14
202
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
regardless of whether the affiliate is so indebted on the report
date.
(c) Where the affiliate on the report date is indebted to the
member bank or the member bank owns obligations of or an
interest in said affiliate on said date and the aggregate amount
of such indebtedness, obligations, and interest is in excess of 1
percent of the member bank's unimpaired capital and surplus
or $5,000, whichever amount is the smaller.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System also
waives the requirement for the submission of reports of affiliates in all cases where the affiliate relationship is based solely
on ownership or control of any voting shares of the affiliate by a
member bank as executor, administrator, trustee, receiver, agent,
depositary, or in any other fiduciary capacity, except wThere
such shares are held for the benefit of all or a majority of the
stockholders of such member banks.
The above provisions with respect to the waiving of the requirements for submission of reports of affiliates are subject to
change whenever deemed advisable by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System in order to require the submission
of reports which are necessary to disclose fully relations between
member banks and their affiliates and the effect thereof upon the
affairs of member banks.
(SECRETARY'S NOTE.—On September 3, 1935, the Board was advised that the Comptroller had approved the provisions set forth
above, and these provisions were included in the instructions issued
in connection with the next succeeding call for reports of condition
of State member banks and their affiliates.)
MEETING ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1 9 3 5 .
Present: Mr. Eccles, Chairman; Mr. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr.
Hamlin, Mr. Miller, Mr. James, Mr. Szymczak.
Rules of Securities and Exchange Commission, and amendment to Regulation
T, affecting warrants and unissued securities.
Consideration was given to a draft of a proposed amendment, No.
6, to Regulation T, recommended by the Division of Security Loans
with the concurrence of the Board's counsel, to the effect that any
warrant or certificate which evidences a right to subscribe to or
otherwise acquire any security and which by its terms expires within
90 days of issuance shall be without loan value, provided that
in any case in which an account contains, in addition to such warrant
or certificate, the security in respect of which such warrant or certificate has been issued, the current market value of such security
shall for the purpose of calculating its maximum loan value, be increased by the current market value of such warrant or certificate.
In this connection consideration was also given to certain provisions regarding margins which the Securities and Exchange Commission proposed to incorporate in its rules for the registration of
unissued warrants or unissued securities for "when issued" trading
on national securities exchanges.
The Board was advised that the proposed amendment to Regulation T had the effect of extending to such short term issued warrants
POLICY ACTIONS—BOARD OF GOVERNORS
203
as may be registered on a national securities exchange the principle
embodied in the Commission's rules for the registration of unissued
warrants, namely, that purchases of short term warrants should be
on a cash basis. The Board was also advised that the Securities and
Exchange Commission did not wish to issue its registration rules
without suitable provision being made at the same time with respect
to margin requirements applicable to issued warrants. It was
pointed out that the proposed amendment would associate the Board
with the Commission in an action which would enable the exchanges
to resume under appropriate safeguards, "when issued" trading in
securities which had been suspended by the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, the issued warrants covered by the proposed amendment of
Regulation T being chiefly warrants which will first be traded on a
"when issued" basis; and that it was expected that the proposed action
would facilitate somewhat the raising of capital by corporations
through giving to stockholders warrants with rights to subscribe to
new issues of securities. It also appeared that a reason for the
exception, included in the proviso to the amendment, was to conform
to the desire of the Securities and Exchange Commission that the
maximum loan value of securities in an account should not decline
if short-term warrants were issued in respect thereof.
Upon consideration of the entire matter it was agreed that the
action proposed was desirable and proper for the reasons stated, pending the adoption and issuance by the Board of a revision of Regulation T covering this subject. Thereupon, by unanimous vote, the
proposed amendment was approved. In this connection, the Board
decided to advise the Securities and Exchange Commission that it
interposed no objection to the provisions regarding margins which
the Commission contemplated incorporating in its proposed rules but
that it reserved the right to issue in the future such regulations of its
own as would fix margin requirements on unissued securities and
unissued warrants.
MEETING ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3 1 , 19 35
Present: Mr. Eccles, Chairman; Mr. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr.
Hamlin, Mr. Miller, Mr. James, Mr. Szymczak.
Procedure in connection with action by Board on discount rates established
by Federal Reserve banks.
Consideration was given to a draft of a letter to the Governor of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, reading as follows:
Reference is made to your letter of October 7, 1935, from
which it is noted that your directors, on October 4, 1935, established rates of discount and purchase for a period of 14 days
commencing October 5, and that your bank had been advised
by its counsel that it was at least open to question whether the
rates of discount and purchase fixed by your bank on September 20, 1935, and approved by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, continued in effect until the rates fixed
by your board at its meeting on October 4, 1935, were reviewed
and determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System as provided in subsection 14 (d) of the Fed
204
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
eral Reserve Act, as amended by the Banking Act of 1935, and
you had received advice of the Board's approval thereof.
Your letter suggests that, in view of this opinion, the Board
establish a procedure whereby advice of the Board's action
on rates established by your directors will be sent to your bank
on the date of receipt by the Board of information from the
bank as to rates fixed for a future period, in order that there
shall be at all times rates of discount and purchase for the bank
without any possibility of question as to the validity of rates
in effect.
It has been the experience of the Board in the past that, because of the important questions of policy involved in rate
changes, it was not always possible to reach a decision on rates
submitted to it by a Federal Reserve bank on the date advice of
the bank's action was received. In view of the increased responsibilities placed upon the Board by the Banking Act of
1935, there undoubtedly will be occasions in the future when
the Board will require more than 1 day in which to review all
of the important factors which must be taken into account. For
this reason, the Board believes that it would not be advisable
to set up a procedure which would require it to pass upon rates
of discount established by the banks upon the date upon which
advice of the bank's action is received.
The only change in subsection 14 (d) of the Federal Reserve Act as amended by the Banking Act of 1935 is the addition of a provision by which the Federal Reserve banks are
required to establish their rates of discount every 14 days, or
oftener if deemed necessary by the Board. Therefore, the
Board takes the position that when a bank has established rates
of discount in accordance with this requirement upon which
action by the Board is pending, the existing rates continue in
effect until rates subsequently established with the approval
of the Board become effective. This is on the assumption, of
course, that the language used by the bank in establishing the
existing rates did not otherwise limit the period for which they
were to be in effect. In this connection, the Board feels that
it would be preferable for the bank not to place a limitation on
the time during which rates established are to remain in effect.
Of course, the Board will consider rates of discount submitted to it by the Federal Reserve banks, and will act thereon
and advise the banks of its action, as promptly as possible in
the circumstances.
The letter was approved by unanimous vote for the reasons stated,
with the understanding that copies of the letter would be sent to
all Federal Reserve banks.
MEETING ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 193 5
Present: Mr. Eccles, Chairman; Mr. Hamlin, Mr. Miller, Mr.
James, Mr. Szymczak.
Loans to National Bank of Nicaragua.
By letter dated November 1, 1935, the Board was informed by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York that advice had been received
POLICY ACTIONS—BOARD OF GOVERNORS
205
from the National Bank of Nicaragua that it was necessary for the
bank at that season of the year to borrow dollars for a period of
several months to meet its requirements for dollar exchange in connection with the export of the Nicaraguan coffee crop, which loan
would be repaid as soon as foreign exchange representing the proceeds of the sale of the crop was received, and that, therefore, it desired to obtain a loan of $100,000 from the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York for a term of 120 days to be secured by gold earmarked
with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York had voted, subject to
the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, to authorize the loan, interest on such loan to be at the discount
rate in effect at the New York bank.
The members of the Board were of the opinion that a loan by the
New York bank to the National Bank of Nicaragua for the purpose
stated was a proper one and, therefore, approved unanimously the
action taken by the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York and the participation in the loan by the other Federal
Reserve banks.
On the basis of this action, the Board on November 11, and
December 17, 1935, by unanimous vote of the members present,
approved actions of the board of directors of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York in authorizing additional loans of $200,000 and
$50,000, respectively, to the National Bank of Nicaragua for the
same purpose as that for which the original loan was made and participation in the loans by the other Federal Reserve banks.
MEETING ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 19 3 5
Present: Mr. Eccles, Chairman; Mr. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr.
Hamlin, Mr. Miller, Mr. James.
Advisability of reducing excess reserves of member banks.
The Board gave further consideration to the question of the advisability of taking action for the purpose of absorbing a portion of
the excess reserves of member banks, and in this connection considered the resolution adopted by the Federal Open Market Committee on October 23, 1935. After reviewing all aspects of the
matter in the light of discussions which had taken place and information which had been considered at previous meetings it was agreed
unanimously that, since there was at this time no indication of an
undue expansion of credit, there was at present no real need for
action of this kind by the Board, and that to take such action might,
although in the opinion of the Board it should not, result in a more
hesitant attitude on the part of business and the banks and might
therefore retard the forces of recovery which should be given an
opportunity to gain additional momentum.
Therefore the Board, by unanimous vote, decided to take no action
at this time to increase reserve requirements, but that the situation
should be watched carefully, so that the Board would be in position to act whenever developments in the situation indicated that
action was necessary.

ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
Sale by a Federal Reserve bank of securities from its own investment account.
Consideration was given to a letter from a Federal Reserve bank
stating that the board of directors had authorized the officers to sell
from time to time approximately $23,800,000 of United States Government bonds held in the bank's own investment account, as and
when the market for such securities would conveniently permit of
such disposal, and to purchase an equivalent amount of Government
securities of shorter maturities.
The members of the Board voted unanimously to interpose no
objection to the sale and purchase of securities by the bank in accordance with the program authorized by the directors, with the understanding that these transactions would result in no change in the
total amount of Government securities held in the bank's investment
account, as it appeared that the transactions would be in the interest
of the proper administration of the investment account of the
Federal Reserve bank.

Eligibility for membership of State banks which have outstanding certificates
representing waived deposits.
The Board had given consideration on several previous occasions
to the question whether a State bank which had issued to certain
depositors certificates (representing waived deposits) which were
payable after other claims of depositors and other creditors were provided for, but before the payment of any dividends or the distribution of any assets of the bank to its shareholders, was eligible for
admission to membership in the Federal Reserve System, and had
taken the position that the obligation on such outstanding certificates
was a liability of the bank and that, in cases where the excess of
the bank's assets over liabilities to depositors and other creditors,
including the holders of certificates representing waived deposits, was
less than the amount of the outstanding capital stock of the bank, the
bank's capital was impaired, and therefore, the bank was ineligible
for membership in the Federal Reserve System. This position was
discussed on various occasions in connection with the question of the
eligibility of certain banks for membership in the Federal Reserve
System.
At this meeting, following consideration of a recommendation of a
special committee of the Board appointed to consider the matter, it
was agreed that depositors in a bank which had issued certificates
representing waived deposits, under the terms of which the certificates were subordinated to claims of depositors and other creditors
but were to be paid before any distribution of assets to stockholders,
were as fully protected as they would be if such certificates were not
outstanding. Therefore, by unanimous vote, the Board took the position that the capital of such a bank would not be impaired for purposes of admission to membership in the Federal Reserve System,
and that such a bank would be eligible for membership upon condition (in addition to such other conditions as the Board might see fit
to prescribe) that there be indorsed on each certificate of stock
or subsequently issued a statement setting forth the

obligation to the holders of the certificates representing waived deposits or, in lieu thereof, that there be included in each published statement of condition of such bank a statement setting forth the obligation to the certificate holders.

Procedure in connection with action by Board on discount rates established by
Federal Reserve banks.
Consideration was given to a letter addressed to the chairman of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York which read as follows:
The members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System have read with interest your letter of November
14, 1935, with regard to changes in discount rates at the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York.
In reaching the conclusion set forth in its letter of October 31,
1935, to Governor Fleming, the Board had in mind the procedure followed by your bank in submitting changes in discount
rates to the Board for approval, as well as the possibility that
there will be occasions when expeditious action by the Board
on rates established by a Federal Reserve bank will be especially
important, and the fact that in all cases the banks desire to
receive prompt advice of the Board's action. For these reasons,
the Board stated in its letter that it would consider and act upon
rates of discount submitted to it by the Federal Reserve banks
as promptly as possible in the circumstances, and it may be
added that it is the desire of the Board to take action, if reasonably practicable, on the date upon which advice is received from
the Federal Reserve banks.
However, the Board is charged by law with the final responsibility for the review and determination of the rates established
by the Federal Reserve banks and its action in some instances
may be of such importance and may involve such difficult questions of policy that a decision cannot be reached immediately
and may require a special inquiry into and discussion of the
basis for action in addition to the consideration ordinarily given
by the Board to the business and credit situation. In this connection you will recall that the Banking Act of 1935 emphasized
the necessity for careful study of the grounds upon which the
Board's action may be based by requiring that a record be made
of the votes with the underlying reasons therefor and that such
record be published with the Board's annual report. With the
various possibilities in mind, the Board feels that it would
not be justified in committing itself to a procedure that would
require it in every case to pass upon rates of discount established
by a Federal Reserve bank on the date on which advice of the
bank's action is received.
With respect to your suggestion that an opportunity be afforded to discuss the matter at some appropriate time the
Board will be glad to meet a committee of your directors for
this purpose at any time that is convenient.
208
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
The letter was approved, by unanimous vote, for the reasons
stated.
Salaries of officers and employees of Federal Reserve banks during 1936.
The Board considered what policy should be followed with respect to the approval of salaries at the Federal Reserve banks for
1936 and voted unanimously that a letter should be sent to all of the
Federal Reserve banks expressing the view that the principles set
forth in the Board's letter of January 5, 1935, to the chairman at
each Federal Reserve bank should be followed with respect to salaries during the year 1936; that no increases should be made in existing salaries of officers and senior employees at Federal Reserve banks
unless special circumstances clearly justified particular increases;
and that no increases Should be made in the salaries of junior employees unless there had been sufficient change in the character or
quantity of work performed clearly to warrant the increases.
The letter of January 5, 1935, referred to, contained the statement that the Board felt that any readjustments in salaries that
might be found necessary should not result in increasing the aggregate pay roll; that it would be the expectation of the Board under
existing conditions that notwithstanding any increases in salaries in
individual cases there would be some decrease in the total pay roll
as the result of deaths, resignations, and retirements; and that it was
the view of the Board that the boards of directors of the Federal
Reserve banks and the Federal Reserve Board shared in the responsibility of seeing that every reasonable effort was made by the
banks not only to build up the efficiency of their organizations but
also to be watchful against increases in expenses which could be
avoided without impairing the quality and adequacy of the service
which the banks were called upon to render, as would be their duty
if they were operating privately owned commercial banking institutions, and therefore that all changes in salaries as well as other
expenses should be made the subject of special scrutiny in the light
of this responsibility.
MEETING ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2 3, 19 3 5
Present: Mr. Eccles, Chairman; Mr. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr.
Hamlin, Mr. Miller, Mr. Szymczak.
Action on resolutions adopted by Federal Open Market Committee.
Consideration was given to a draft of a letter to the Chairman of
the Federal Open Market Committee, which had been prepared as
a result of discussions during previous meetings of the Board, in
regard to the resolutions adopted by the Federal Open Market Committee on October 23, 1935, and, by unanimous vote, the Board approved the following letter, for the reasons stated therein:
Reference is made to the resolution adopted by the Federal
Open Market Committee at its meeting on October 23, 1935, in
Washington.
The Board has given careful consideration to the Committee's
statement about the present credit situation and the possible
desirability of taking steps to absorb some of the excess reserves
of member banks, either through the reduction of the System's
POLICY ACTIONS—BOARD OF GOVERNORS
209
portfolio of Government securities, or through the raising of
member bank reserve requirements.
In view of the Committee's observations, with which the
Board concurs, that there is nothing in the business or credit
situation which at this time necessitates the adoption of any
policy designed to retard credit expansion, and that the primary
objective of the System at the present time is still to lend its
efforts to a furtherance of recovery, the Board feels that it
would not be timely to undertake at this stage of business recovery any measure for the absorption of excess reserves.
The Board is alive to the injurious consequences that will be
caused by the excess reserves if they are permitted to go uncontrolled beyond the point where it will become reasonably clear
that further pursuit of the policy followed thus far by the Federal Reserve System during the depression will be attended with
economic hazards to the country which the System could not
safely assume. When and as that point approaches the Board
will act.
A preliminary study has been made of the possible effects on
the position of member banks of any change in reserve requirements that might be made by the Board. A summary of the results of this study, as presented by the Division of Bank Operations, is attached.
The authority granted in the motion adopted by the Federal
Open Market Committee at its meeting with respect to the
purchase and sale (which it is understood would include allowing maturities to run off without replacement) of Government
securities by the executive committee, is in the same form as
that approved by the Federal Open Market Committee at its
meeting on May 27, 1935, and, inasmuch as it provides that before any purchases or sales are made by the executive committee
telegraphic approval of a majority of the Federal Open Market
Committee and the approval of the Board will be obtained, there
appears to be no necessity for the Board to take action on the
authority at this time. However, the Board will hold itself in
readiness to consider any action proposed by the executive committee with the approval of a majority of the Federal Open
Market Committee, as provided in the motion.
The second motion adopted by the Federal Open Market
Committee authorizes the executive committee to make shifts
of maturities of Government securities in the System account
up to $300,000,000, provided that the amount of securities maturing within 2 years be maintained at not less than $1,000,000,000 and that the amount of bonds in the account be not over
$500,000,000. The Board has carefully considered the reasons
given for the adoption of this motion, but feels that a substantial
shift in maturities of securities held in the account would not be
desirable at this time. Therefore, the Board approves the authority given to the executive committee only to the extent necessary to enable the committee to replace securities maturing between now and the date of the next meeting of the Federal
Open Market Committee which will be held sometime before
the end of the current year in compliance with the requirement
of the law that at least four meetings be held each year.

MEETING ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2 6, 19 3 5
Present: Mr. Eccles, Chairman; Mr. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr.
Hamlin, Mr. Miller, Mr. James, Mr. Szymczak.
The Board took up for discussion and consideration drafts of
revisions of certain regulations which had been prepared following
the enactment of the Banking Act of 1935.
Regulation I—Relating to capital stock of Federal Reserve banks.
Attention was directed to the fact that the Banking Act of 1935
amended existing law so as to require that when a member bank
reduces its capital stock or surplus it shall surrender a proportionate
amount of its holdings of Federal Beserve bank stock. It was also
pointed out that, while the existing regulation of the Board requires
that all applications for the issuance and cancelation of Federal
Eeserve bank stock shall be approved by the Board, there is no provision of law making such action necessary except in the case of
applications for admission to and withdrawal from the System. It
was agreed that in addition to such changes as were necessary in
order to conform to the law as amended it was desirable to simplify
the procedure for handling applications by providing for their approval by the Federal Eeserve agents without sending them to Washington for such action except in the cases of applications for admission to and withdrawal from the System, as such a change in procedure would eliminate duplication of labor and consequent delays.
Thereupon, by unanimous vote, the Board approved and adopted
revised Regulation I—Increase or decrease of capital stock of
Federal Eeserve banks and cancelation of old and issue of new stock
certificates, to become effective January 1, 1936.
Regulation Q—Relating to the payment of interest on deposits.
The more important questions which received the consideration
of the Board in connection with the draft of the revision of Eegu1 at ion Q were those relating to the maximum rates of interest the
member banks would be permitted to pay on time and savings deposits ; the determination of what should be considered to be savings deposits; and the definition of the term "interest" for the
purposes of the regulation.
It was pointed out that the provisions of section 19 of the Federal Eeserve Act with respect to the payment of interest on deposits
had been amended by the Banking Act of 1935 in a number of important respects, among which were included the granting of authority to the Board to define certain terms, to determine what
should be deemed to be a payment of interest, and to prescribe
such rules and regulations as the Board might deem necessary to
effectuate the purpose of the section and prevent evasions thereof.
POLICY ACTIONS—BOARD OF GOVERNORS
211
The Board was also required, in limiting by regulation the rate
of interest which may be paid by member banks on time and savings
deposits, to prescribe different rates for such payment on deposits
having different maturities, or subject to different conditions respecting withdrawal or repayment, or subject to different conditions by
reason of different locations or according to the varying discount
rates of member banks in the several Federal Reserve districts.
Prior to the consideration of the revised regulation at this meeting,
the Board had consulted its general counsel and had been advised
by him that the determination of different rates was not required
to be based on all four of the classifications stated in the statute and
that the establishment of different rates on the basis of one or more of
such classifications would constitute full compliance with the law.
This opinion was based in part on the fact that the four bases for
prescribing different rates were separated by the disjunctive particle "or", the use of which indicated clearly an alternative or choice
of one or more of such classifications and not an injunction to use
all four classifications. The Board, after obtaining the comments
and suggestions of the Federal Reserve banks and a committee of
the American Bankers Association, reached the conclusion that it
was impracticable to prescribe a schedule of two different rates based
on each of the four classifications of deposits. Careful thought
was given to each of these classifications and the Board decided that
the classifications of deposits according to different maturities and
different conditions respecting withdrawal or repayment were the
most practical bases for prescribing different rates. It was the
judgment of the Board that the establishment of different rates for
different sections of the country would result in serious discriminations and competitive inequalities between member banks in the
lower interest rate areas and member banks in the higher rate areas,
which could not be justified. The maximum rate of 2y2 percent prescribed by the existing regulation had been adopted by the Board
after a careful review of interest rates throughout the country and
after consultation with the 12 Federal Reserve banks. The general trend of rates had been steadily downward, the interest yielded
by loans and investments had been declining, and many banks were
finding it necessary to make further reductions in the rates paid
their depositors because of their decreased earnings. It was evident also that banks were not justified in paying as high rates of
interest for time deposits having shorter maturities in view of their
greater availability for withdrawal and therefore that the rates
fixed by the Board on such deposits should be graduated according
to maturities. Accordingly, the Board decided that the existing
maximum rate of 2y2 percent per annum should be continued in
the revised regulation only as to savings deposits, postal-savings
deposits, and time deposits having maturities of 6 months or more
or payable upon written notice of 6 months or more; that the
maximum rate for time deposits having maturities of less than 6
months and not less than 90 days, or payable upon written notice of
less than 6 months and not less than 90 days, should be 2 percent
(except in the case of postal-savings deposits) ; and that the maximum rate should be 1 percent for time deposits having maturities,
or payable upon written notice, of less than 90 days (except in the
case of postal-savings deposits).
212
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
With respect to the definition of savings deposits, it had been
found that two requirements of the former definition were impractical
in operation, i. e., that savings deposits should consist of funds
accumulated for bona-fide thrift purposes and that passbooks should
be presented in all cases when withdrawals were made. Various
possible definitions were considered and the conclusion was reached
that a requirement that savings deposits should consist of funds of
one or more individuals or of organizations operated primarily for
religious, philanthropic, charitable, educational, fraternal, or other
similar purposes and not operated for profit would not only provide
a clear line of distinction between savings and other deposits but
also would include the deposits of all classes of customers to whom
the advantages of savings deposits should properly be made available. The new definition liberalized the requirement of the previous
regulation that passbooks be presented whenever withdrawals are
made by permitting withdrawals by authorized persons presenting
the passbooks and also, without presentation of the passbook, when
payments are made to depositors in person or are remitted by instruments payable to them. It was felt that this provision would
enable member banks to take care of the classes of cases in which
for meritorious reasons the passbooks could not be presented and at
the same time prevent the continuance of the practice which had
existed in some sections of the country of permitting the withdrawal
of savings deposits through the use of checks, thus converting them
in effect into ordinary commercial accounts and evading the statutory
provision against the payment of interest on demand deposits.
Prior to the enactment of the Banking Act of 1935 the Board had
found it necessary to issue a number of rulings on the question
whether the payment or absorption of out-of-pocket expenses should
be considered as the payment of interest on deposits, and the opinion
had been expressed that expenses so paid or absorbed must vary with
or bear a substantially direct relation to the amount of the depositor's balance in order to be considered as the payment of interest.
However, the rulings in question had resulted in confusion and uncertainty, and experience had shown that they were not adequate.
The Board concluded that in order to accomplish the purpose of
the law the term "interest" should be defined as a payment, credit,
service, or other thing of value which is made or furnished by a
bank as consideration for the use of funds constituting a deposit and
which involves the payment or absorption by the bank of out-ofpocket expenses, regardless of whether such payment, credit, service,
or other thing of value varies with or bears a substantially direct
relation to the amount of the depositor's balance. Under this definition the payment or absorption of exchange or collection charges
which involve out-of-pocket expenses would constitute the payment
of interest, as careful study of the question had shown that otherwise the prohibition of the payment of interest on demand deposits
would become ineffective in many cases.
For these reasons and upon the basis of the conclusions as to the
questions of policy involved, the Board, bv unanimous vote, approved
and adopted a revised Eegulation Q relating to payment of interest
on deposits, to become effective January 1, 1936.
POLICY ACTTONS—BOARD OF GOVERNORS
213
Regulation D—Relating to reserves of member banks.
A revision of Regulation D had become necessary not only to conform to certain changes made by the Banking Act of 1935 with respect to reserve requirements but also to harmonize the definitions of
various classes of deposits with those contained in the revised Regulation Q relating to interest on deposits. In addition, various questions had arisen under the existing regulation and rulings had been
made which it was felt should be taken into consideration in a revision. Among these were certain rulings permitting member banks to
deduct the amount of balances payable in dollars which were due
from domestic branches of foreign banks and from foreign branches
of domestic banks. In this connection it was noted that the Banking
Act of 1935 prohibited a member bank from deducting from gross
demand deposits the amount of balances due from foreign banks,
and it appeared that it would not be consistent to continue these rulings in effect. In view of the enlarged power granted the Board with
respect to reserve requirements it was agreed that such changes in
reserve requirements as the Board might make in the future pursuant to the Banking Act of 1935 should be incorporated in supplements to be issued from time to time instead of in amendments to
the regulation. Other changes were necessitated by amendments contained in the Banking Act of 1935. Upon consideration of all these
matters, Regulation D as revised, relating to reserves of member
banks, was approved and adopted, by unanimous vote, to become
effective January 1, 1936.
Revocation of Regulation O, issued in 1915, and substitution therefor of letter
containing instructions to Federal Reserve agents regarding issuance and
retirement of Federal Reserve notes.
Attention was called to the fact that the Board's Regulation O,
entitled "Regulation for the Guidance of Federal Reserve Agents in
the Matter of Issuance and Retirement of Federal Reserve Notes",
had not been reissued since it was adopted in 1915; that many of the
provisions of the regulation were now obsolete; that the regulation,
covering the Board's instructions to the Federal Reserve agents with
respect to the issuance and retirement of Federal Reserve notes, did
not contain any provisions applicable to operations of member banks
or to the relations of the Federal Reserve banks with member banks
and the public; and that, therefore, it was desirable that Regulation
O be revoked and in lieu thereof a letter containing such instructions
as were necessary with respect to the issuance and retirement of Federal Reserve notes be sent to all Federal Reserve agents. For these
reasons, and by unanimous vote, Regulation O was revoked and in
lieu thereof a letter of instructions to all Federal Reserve agents was
approved.
Present: Mr. Eccles, Chairman; Mr. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr.
Hamlin, Mr. Miller, Mr. James, Mr. Szymczak.
Regulation O—Loans to executive officers of member banks.
Prior to the Banking Act of 1935 the Board was not vested with
express authority to make regulations on this subject and as a violation of the provision with respect to loans to executive officers of
214
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
member banks was a criminal offense great difficulty and uncertainty
had arisen as to the meaning which should be given to the term
"executive officer" and as to the conditions under which extensions of
credit might be held by the courts to be prohibited loans. The Banking Act of 1935 authorized the Board to define the term "executive
officer"; to determine what should be deemed to be a borrowing, indebtedness, loan, or extension of credit; and to prescribe rules and
regulations to effectuate the provisions of the law in accordance with
its purpose and to prevent evasions. The criminal penalties were
removed as to violations occurring after the amendment and executive officers violating the law after such amendment were made
subject to removal from office. Under these new powers it was
clear that the Board could by regulation eliminate many of the
existing uncertainties which had troubled banking officers. It was
agreed that the term "executive officer" should mean the chairman
of the board of directors, the president, every vice president, the
cashier, secretary, treasurer, and trust officer of a member bank and,
in addition, every other officer of a member bank who participates
in the management of the bank or any branch thereof, regardless
of whether he has an official title or whether his title contains a
designation of assistant, and regardless of whether he is serving
without salary or other compensation, but that the term "executive
officer" should not include a director or member of a committee who
is not also an executive officer within this definition. The Board
realized that many banks throughout the country, particularly in the
smaller communities, have what may be called honorary or inactive
officers who take no part as officers in the management of the affairs
of the banks, but who are elected to such offices largely for the purpose of lending the influence of their names to the institutions, and
that such a definition might result in their severing their official connections with the banks or in preventing them or their interests from
obtaining desired credit accommodations from the banks of w^hich
they were officers. However, as such individuals are held out to the
public as regular officers of the banks and as being responsible at
least in part for their proper management, and as it was believed
that the public would assume that the prohibitions of the law applied
to them as well as to other officers, it was concluded that such officers
should be included in the definition. Other provisions of the regulation were also considered necessary and appropriate to accomplish the
purpose of the applicable provisions of law as amended. Upon consideration of the new Regulation O in detail, it was approved and
adopted, by unanimous vote, to become effective January 1, 1936.
Regulation P—Holding company affiliates—Voting permits.
The Banking Act of 1935 made a substantial change in existing
law by providing that the term "holding company affiliate" shall not
include, except for certain limited purposes, any organization which
is determined by the Board not to be engaged, directly or indirectly,
as a business in holding the stock of, or managing or controlling
banks. In addition, experience had shown the desirability of
changes in the existing regulation in the interest of simplification
and clarification of its operation. The revised Regulation P was
drawn accordingly and was adopted and approved, by unanimous
vote, to become effective January 1, 1936.

Action on resolution adopted by the Federal Open Market Committee.
The Board gave further consideration to the resolution adopted
by the Federal Open Market Committee at its meeting in Washington on October 23, 1935, which authorized the executive committee of the Federal Open Market Committee to make shifts in
maturities of securities held in the System account, and the following letter to the Chairman of the Committee was approved by a
unanimous vote; the reason for the Board's action being stated in
the letter:
Keference is made to the Board's letter of November 23, 1935,
to you with regard to the resolution and motions adopted by
the Federal Open Market Committee at its meeting in Washington on October 22-24, 1935.
While the Board took the position that a substantial shift
from short to long maturities in the System account would not
be desirable at this time, the statement of this position was
intended to apply only to a shift to bonds and was not intended
to apply to such shifts in the maturities of the bills and notes
held in the portfolio as might be advisable in the judgment of
the executive committee. Therefore, the Board has requested
me to advise you that it approves the authority given to the
executive committee to the extent necessary to enable it, during
the period before the next meeting of the Federal Open Market
Committee, to make shifts, in an aggregate amount not exceeding $300,000,000, in maturities of Treasury bills and Treasury
notes held in the System account.
A copy of this letter is being forwarded to the chairman of
the board of directors of each of the Federal Reserve banks.
Before consideration was given to the following matters Mr.
O'Connor had left the meeting.
Regulation H—Relating to membership in the Federal Reserve System of
State banking institutions.
The existing Regulation H had been issued in 1930 and had not
been amended or revised. Since its issuance a number of changes
had been made in the provisions of law relating to State member
banks of the Federal Reserve system and the standard conditions
under which banks were admitted to membership had increased in
number and scope. Experience had shown that the regulation and
the standard conditions of membership could be greatly simplified,
and as the regulation had become virtually obsolete a revision had
been undertaken. For these reasons, the Board adopted and approved, by unanimous vote, the revised Regulation H, to become
effective January 1, 1936.
Purchase by a Federal Reserve bank from a Federal land bank of Government
bonds under repurchase agreement.
Consideration was given to a letter received under date of September 24, 1935, from a Federal Reserve bank, which stated that for
216
ANNUAL BEPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
many years the bank had purchased Government bonds from time
to time from a Federal land bank under repurchase agreements, providing for the repurchase of the bonds within not to exceed 15 days,
that the Board had previously approved such action by the bank,
and that the bank desired to know whether any further action by
the bank was necessary at this time.
Inasmuch as the amounts of bonds purchased by the Federal
Reserve bank from the Federal land bank were small, and, in
most instances, the bonds were repurchased within a week, it was
voted unanimously to advise the Federal Reserve bank that, under
the provisions of section VI of Regulation M, Open Market Operations, approval of the Board is required for all purchases and
sales by a Federal Reserve bank of Government securities for its
own account (other than in an emergency) and that, in view of
the fact that the securities purchased from the land bank were
repurchased in most instances in less than a week, the Board granted
its consent to the Federal Reserve bank to acquire Government
bonds from the land bank at the request of, and for the convenience of that bank in financing its needs, under agreements obligating the land bank to repurchase the bonds within a period not
exceeding 15 days in each case, provided that the aggregate principal amount of bonds embraced within the terms of such outstanding repurchase agreements shall not at any time exceed $1,500,000
and that every such transaction would be reported promptly as
required by Regulation M.

Question of exchange by a Federal Reserve bank of maturing United States
notes for securities of a new issue carrying conversion privilege.
The Board gave consideration to a letter from a Federal Reserve
bank stating that the bank had a certain amount of United States
notes maturing on December 15, 1935, and asking whether, in the
opinion of the Board of Governors, an exchange directly with the
Treasury Department of these notes for a corresponding amount of
a new issue carrying the conversion privilege would be contrary to
the provisions of the third paragraph of section 14 of the Federal
Reserve Act, as amended.
The members of the Board were of the opinion that it would be
preferable for the bank to effect the exchange in the open market
rather than directly with the Treasury, in order that there might be
no doubt as to the procedure of the bank being fully in accord with
the law, and, therefore, it was decided, by unanimous vote, to advise
the Federal Reserve bank that, without regard to the determination of
the legal question as to the right of a Federal Reserve bank to make
such an exchange directly with the Treasury, the Board felt that as a
matter of policy it would be advisable for the bank to effect the exchange in the open market.

Standard provisions of agreement required as condition precedent to granting
general voting permits.
The Board had previously addressed letters to all Federal Reserve
agents setting forth seven tentative provisions which were under consideration for incorporation in an agreement which the Board proposed to require all holding company affiliates to execute as a condition to the granting of general voting permits pursuant to section 5144
of the Eevised Statutes. The Federal Reserve agents had been requested to forward to the Board their comments and criticisms, and
those of the holding company affiliates in their respective districts,
with respect to such tentative provisions.
At this meeting, the Board's committee having supervision of voting permit matters submitted a form of agreement prepared after

are required tc be charged off or otherwise eliminated,
this agreement shall be deemed to have been complied with to
the extent of any valuation reserve that may be set up for the

and published statements of condition, the amount of such reserves be deducted from the respective assets against which
they are allocated.
C. Whenever the stock of any of its subsidiary or affiliated
organizations is carried on the books of the undersigned at less
than its adjusted value, as determined in accordance with the
foregoing clause numbered 1, nothing in this agreement shall

such stock is carried on its books to an amount not exceeding
such adjusted value.

valuation by any examiner, auditor or appraiser, or any recommendation or suggestion of such designated representative, the
undersigned shall have the right to appeal to the Board for
review and final determination.

ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
The Board's committee recommended that the Board, in addition
to prescribing such special conditions as it might see fit in connection with the granting of general voting permits to particular holding company affiliates, require in each case the execution by the holding company affiliate of an agreement, in the form submitted to the
Board, as a condition precedent to the issuance of the permit, except
that if the holding company affiliate be a national bank paragraph
numbered 1 be omitted and paragraph numbered 4 be extended to
apply to the holding company affiliate as well as its subsidiary
national banks.
It was agreed by the members of the Board that, in view of the
responsibility with which the Board is charged by section 5144 of
the Revised Statutes in acting upon applications of holding company
affiliates for voting permits; that as the law expressly provides that
the Board may in its discretion grant or withhold such permits as
the public interest may require; that as the Board, in acting upon
such applications, is required to consider the financial condition of
the applicants, the general character of their management, and the
probable effect of the granting of such permits on the affairs of the
subsidiary banks; that a$ general voting permits entitle the holding
company affiliates to vote for all purposes for an unlimited period
of time subject to revocation of the permits; and that as voting permits
are revocable only for violations of the Banking Act of 1933 or violations of agreements pursuant to section 5144 of the Revised Statutes; it is proper and desirable in granting such permits to require
each holding company affiliate to execute an agreement containing
certain standard provisions which, in the opinion of the Board, will
be appropriate to accomplish the purposes of the law.
Accordingly, the standard provisions having been carefully considered, the report of the Board's committee and the form of agreement were approved by unanimous vote.

Trust powers for small national banks in competitive situations.
Consideration was given to an application received from a small
national bank, having a capital and surplus of $60,000 and located
in a community with a population of 5,700, for permission to exercise trust powers. The Federal Reserve agent and executive committee of the Federal Reserve bank, in submitting the application,
recommended that the bank be authorized to act as administrator,
executor, and guardian of estates, but made the recommendation
subject to a reservation as to the question of policy involved of the
advisability of granting even the limited powers recommended in
any cases where the applicant institution was a small one and probably would not engage in trust business except in a minor way, the
application being predicated mainly upon the desire to be on an equal
competitive basis with State institutions in the same community,
rather than on a desire to engage actively in fiduciary capacities.
It appearing to the satisfaction of the Board that, aside from the
question of policy raised, the bank was qualified to act in the fidu-
POLICY ACTIONS—BOARD OF GOVERNORS
221
ciary capacities recommended, and, in view of the fact that the
national bank was operating in competition with State banks in
the same community, it was decided, by unanimous vote, to grant
the application.
MEETING ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1 3 , 193 5
Present: Mr. Eccles, Chairman; Mr. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr.

Retirement of preferred stock, capital notes, and debentures of State member
banks.
Consideration was given to the question what position should be
taken by the Board with respect to the retirement of preferred stock,
capital notes, and debentures issued by State member banks. Reviews made under the direction of the Board of the condition of
State member banks, of which the Reconstruction Finance Corporation held preferred stock, capital notes, or debenutres, indicated that
some banks were in position to retire all or part of the capital investment held by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and still
have capital in an amount adequate for the protection of depositors
and other creditors, and it was believed that as recovery continued
to progress and further corrections were made of the conditions
which weakened the capital structure of the banks there would be
other cases in which retirement of excess capital would be justified.
It was decided, therefore, by unanimous vote, to send letters to all
Federal Reserve agents containing the following instructions with
respect to cases involving proposed reductions of preferred stock,
capital notes, and debentures of State member banks:
The Board requests that the Federal Reserve agents give full
consideration to the capital ratio of the bank, the general type
of assets held by the bank, its investment in fixed assets, quality
of investment securities, trend of deposits, size and activities of
trust department, competency of management, and other tangible
and intangible factors bearing on the adequacy of the amount of
net sound capital of the bank. The Board believes that if, after
consideration of the various factors enumerated above, it appears
that a bank is in a position to retire with safety part or all of the
preferred stock or capital notes or debentures lield by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation or local investors, it should
be permitted to do so. It has been indicated, however, that there
is a tendency among some banks, in view of improving conditions and a surplus of liquid assets, to retire prematurely part
of the capital structure and the Board is strongly of the opinion
that such action should not be taken until it is clearly demonstrated that the capital proposed to be retired is no longer needed
for the protection of the depositors or in the conduct of the
bank's business.
It is, of course, desirable that local investors acquire as early
as possible the Reconstruction Finance Corporation's holdings
of capital in banks. While the Board does not feel that it would
be advisable at this time for the Federal Reserve agents to undertake a campaign to promote such transfers to local interests,
it desires that such action be encouraged in particular cases when
such transfers appear to be practicable.

Hamlin, Mr. Miller, Mr. James, Mr. Szymczak.
Publication of reports of condition of State member banks.
Consideration was given to a letter from a Federal Reserve agent
to the effect that the State Banking Commissioner and the State
member banks in his State desired to work out some arrangement
whereby the requirements of both State and Federal law could be
satisfied by the publication on the part of the banks of only one form
of report at each call for reports of condition; and that the State
Banking Commissioner wished to know whether, in the event the
State form were revised in such manner that it would be identical
with the form approved by the Board of Governors for State member
banks, the Board would be willing to accept one publication as covering Federal as well as State requirements. As the members of the
Board felt that the unnecessary preparation and publication of reports should be avoided wherever possible and that one publication
should be sufficient to satisfy both State and Federal requirements if
the form of the two reports were identical, it was decided, by unanimous vote, to authorize the Federal Reserve agent to advise the
State Banking Commissioner that, if and when the form of condition
report prescribed for State banks in his State by the State Banking
Department is identical with the corresponding form prescribed by
the Board, the Board will be glad to accept a single publication of
reports of condition rendered to the State Banking Department pursuant to the requirements of State law and to the Federal Reserve
bank pursuant to the requirements of the Federal Reserve Act, provided the following words appear in the publication report immediately above the caption "Assets": "Published in accordance with
calls made by the State Banking Commissioner of
and the
Federal Reserve bank of this district."

Investment by member banks of trust funds in insured mortgages.
Consideration was given to a draft of a letter to a Federal Reserve
agent which had been prepared in response to an inquiry from him,
and following several conferences by members of the Board's staff
with representatives of the Federal Housing Administration, with
regard to the possible investment of trust funds held by a member
bank in mortgages insured under title I I of the National Housing
Act.
The letter referred to a copy of a circular forwarded to the Board
by the Federal Reserve agent which had been addressed to financial
institutions by the Federal Housing Administration and which specifically stated that it was not to be construed as permitting the
pooling of insured mortgages in the hands of a trustee for the purpose of issuing participation certificates or other such evidences of
POLICY ACTIONS—BOARD OF GOVERNORS
223
interest. The letter stated that the authority of a member bank to
invest trust funds in mortgages or other securities depended upon
the terms of the particular trust instruments, court orders, and State
laws; that a bank, however, should, of course, exercise proper discretion within the limits thus prescribed and act at all times in accordance with the principles of sound trust practices governing the investment of trust funds with careful consideration of the needs of
each particular trust; and that, within the above considerations, first
mortgages, including mortgages insured under title I I of the National Housing Act, would constitute a proper investment for trust
funds.
The letter also stated that it was understood that the Federal
Housing Administration contemplated that institutions exercising
fiduciary powers would conform to the fundamental principles of
trust administration in connection with insured mortgages; that in
a letter which the Federal Housing Administration had forwarded
to institutions to which had been forwarded tentative drafts of proposed trust agreements by the Federal Housing Administration it
was stated that it was essential that all trust agreements be prepared
in accordance with recognized trust practices and that this basic
principle, obviously, could in no way be affected simply by reason of
the inclusion of insured mortgages in the corpus of any trust, and
that it was believed that the enclosed letter from the Federal Housing
Administration disposed of the questions raised by the agent relative
to the applicability of fundamental principles of trust administration to the investment of trust funds in insured mortgages.
The letter was approved, by a unanimous vote, for the reasons
stated.
MEETING ON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 193 5
Present: Mr. Eccles, Chairman; Mr. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr.
Hamlin, Mr. Miller, Mr. James, Mr. Szymczak; and Governors
Young, Harrison, N orris, Fleming, Seay, Newton, Schaller, Martin,
Geery, Hamilton, McKinney, and Calkins, members of the Federal
Open Market Committee.
Adoption of statement on open-market policy.
Chairman Harrison, of the Federal Open Market Committee, submitted the following recommendation which he reported had been
adopted by the Committee at its meeting earlier in the day after a
thorough review of the present business and credit situation:
The Committee has considered the preliminary memorandum
and a memorandum on excess reserves and Federal Reserve
policy and has discussed various aspects of the credit situation.
The Committee finds that continued improvement has been
made in business and financial conditions since its last meeting but the country is still short of a full recovery, and there
does not appear to be anything in the situation which makes
it necessary for the Reserve System now to reverse its policy
of easy money. It is still the unanimous opinion of the Committee that the primary objective of the Reserve System should
be to lend its efforts toward the furtherance of recovery.
224
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
It is the view of the Committee, however, that the amount
of excess reserves of member banks constitutes a source of danger for the reasons expressed in the reports before the Committee at its October meeting and those considered at this meeting. The Committee believes, therefore, that action should be
taken as soon as possible without undue risk to absorb a part
of these excess reserves as a safeguard against possible dangers,
and not as a policy of credit restraint.
Two principal methods of accomplishing this have been
discussed by the Committee: (a) Permitting the present system
holdings of Treasury bills to mature without replacement, and
(b) raising reserve requirements. Some of the members of the
Committee would prefer the employment of method (a) and
others would prefer method (b).
Those members of the Committee who prefer method (&), that
is, the reduction of holdings of short-term Government securities by the system, are so strongly of the opinion that some early
action should be taken that they join with those members favoring method (5), an increase in reserve requirements, in a recommendation that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System should consider some early and substantial increase in
the present reserve requirements of member banks which were
fixed at a time when the gold base of the country was substantially lower than it is now. The Committee refrains from recommending or suggesting any precise time or percentage of
. increase or the classes of banks to be affected believing that the
time or amount and character of action would, of course, have
to be determined by the Board of Governors in the light of all
the conditions as they appear at the time action is actually taken,
not only business and credit conditions but also the banking
situation particularly as it may be affected by the Government's
fiscal policy.
Following a recess, during which the matter was further discussed
by the members of the Board in a separate session, the joint meeting
was resumed and, by unanimous vote of the members of the Board
and of the Committee, the following statement was approved for
the reasons stated therein and authority was given to release it for
immediate publication:
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and
the Federal Open Market Committee have given extended consideration to the general business and credit situation and to
the recommendation of the Federal Advisory Council and are
of the opinion:
1. That continued improvement has been made in business
and financial conditions but that the country is still short
of a full recovery.
2. That the primary objective of the System at the present
time is still to lend its efforts to a furtherance of recovery.
3. That there is at the present time no evidence of overexpansion of business activity or of the use of business
credit.
POLICY ACTIONS—BOARD OF GOVERNORS
225
4. That the present volume of member bank reserves, which
have been greatly increased by imports of gold from
abroad, continues to be excessive, far beyond the present
or prospective requirements of credit for sound business
expansion.
Therefore, the special problem created by the continuing
excess of reserves has had and will continue to have the unremitting study and attention of those charged with the responsibility
for credit policy in order that appropriate action may be taken
as soon as it appears to be in the public interest.
MEETING ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 19 35
Present: Mr. Eccles, Chairman; Mr. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr.
Hamlin, Mr. Miller, Mr. James, Mr. Szymczak.
Determination of the fair value of the assets of member banks.
Consideration was given to a letter from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation inquiring whether the Board would be willing to
designate a person or persons to determine the fair value of the assets
of a State member bank, in accordance with a proposed amendment
to the charter of the bank which would provide that the determination of the fair value of the assets of the bank for the purposes mentioned below, unless otherwise provided for, should be made by such
person or persons as might be designated to make the same by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, that it should
be based upon the last available report of examination of the bank
made under the direction of or approved by the Board of Governors,
that it should be in writing and filed with the corporation, and that
it should be effective until the filing of another such determination.
The provision for the determination of the fair value of the assets
of the bank was made in view of other sections of the proposed
amendment to the charter which restricted the payment of dividends
on preferred stock "B" and common stock and gave special voting
rights to the holders of the "A" and "B" preferred stock in the event
the fair value of the assets of the bank should be less than specified
amounts. It appeared that the procedure to be established in this
case might serve as a precedent in other similar cases in which the
corporation was interested.
The members of the Board felt that the Board was the logical
supervisory body to undertake the performance of the function requested by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and, by unanimous vote, it was decided to advise the Reconstruction Finance Corporation that the Board would be willing to designate a person or
persons to make a determination of the fair value of the assets of
the bank as provided in the proposed amendment, it being assumed
that a request for the determination of the fair value of the assets
of the bank as provided in the amendment would not be made until
there was reason to believe that the fair value of the assets was
sufficient to permit the payment of dividends or until a question
arose as to the voting rights of the respective classes of stock.

Discontinuance of issue of Federal Reserve notes of the series of 1928.
The Board had received a letter dated December 13 from the Secretary of the Treasury stating that it was the view of the Treasury
that the issuance of new Federal Reserve notes of the 1928 series
which bear on their face the w^ords "redeemable in gold" should be
discontinued by the Federal Reserve banks as soon as a sufficient
stock of Federal Reserve notes of the 1934 series is available to meet
current requirements of the respective banks; that it was contemplated that instructions would be issued to the Director of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing to cease delivery of Federal Reserve
notes of the 1928 series and to cease working on any such notes as
might be in process of completion; but that prior to taking such
action it would be appreciated if the Board would communicate with
the Federal Reserve banks and inform the Secretary of the Treasury
whether the procedure proposed would be satisfactory. It was further stated that if this procedure should be followed the Secretary
of the Treasury would submit to the appropriate committees in Congress the question of making, at the next session of Congress, an
appropriation to defray the cost of printing notes to replace the existing stocks of unissued notes of the 1928 series, the cost of shipping
notes to the Federal Reserve banks to replace notes of the old series,
and the cost of returning to Washington and the destruction of the
old series notes.
At a meeting of the Governors of the Federal Reserve banks at
Washington on December 17, the proposed procedure was considered
and approved and a draft of a reply for the consideration of the
Board of Governors was approved containing the following statements :
After discussing this matter the Governors advised the Board
that they are in accord with the procedure set forth in your
letter, with the understanding that, if Congress does not at the
forthcoming session authorize the Treasury to replace the stock
of new Federal Reserve notes of the 1928 series, the question as
to whether the Federal Reserve banks should resume paying out
notes of the 1928 series will be given consideration promptly after
the adjournment of Congress.
It is understood, of course, the acquiescence of the Board and
the Federal Reserve banks at this time in the program outlined
in your letter will not in any way prejudice the right of the
Federal Reserve banks to resume the paying out of the existing
stock of notes of the 1928 series in case the Treasury Department
is not authorized to replace this stock with notes of the 1934
series.
At this meeting of the Board of Governors the proposed reply to
the Secretary of the Treasury was considered. It was pointed out
that the ninth paragraph of section 16 of the Federal Reserve Act
provides that Federal Reserve notes shall be in form and tenor as
directed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and, by unanimous vote,
the proposed reply to the Secretary of the Treasury was approved.

Financing of shipments of goods to belligerent nations.
The members of the Board voted unanimously to approve, for the
reasons stated therein, the following letter to the Governor of the
Federal Eeserve Bank of New York, which had been prepared as a
result of a discussion at a previous meeting:
Following receipt of your letter of November 6, 1935, with
respect to the financing of shipments of goods to belligerent
nations, a copy thereof was sent to the Secretary of State, with a
request for an expression of his views concerning the position
taken in your letter. A reply was received from the Secretary
of State under date of November 30, 1935, a copy of which
is attached, together with copies of the enclosures mentioned
therein.
It will be noted that the Secretary of State refers to the enclosed statements by the President and the Secretary as setting
forth the purpose and policy of the Government in respect to
commercial transactions with the belligerents; that he does not
feel that he can undertake to amplify these statements at this
time or to issue a special ruling in respect to any particular
case; and that it is assumed that all agencies of the Government
and all semigovernmental agencies will wish to conform their
action to the policy set forth in the statements.
It will also be noted that in the statement of November 15,
1935, reference is made to shipments of goods which are considered to be essential war materials as a class of trade which
is directly contrary to the policy of the Government, and that
the Secretary states in his letter that the policy with regard to
these abnormal shipments of primary war materials flowed
naturally from the general purpose and policy of the Government as expressed in earlier statements.
The Board suggests that, if other inquiries similar to the one
referred to in your letter be received by your bank, you reply
by forwarding copies of the statements issued by the President
and the Secretary of State as announcing the policy of the
Government, and that you state that you are informed that the
State Department advised the Board that it did not feel that it
could undertake to amplify these statements at this time or to
issue a special ruling in respect to any particular case.
The Board feels that the only proper course for the Federal
Reserve System to follow is to cooperate with the Government
in carrying out its announced policy in this matter and believes
that the banks of the Federal Eeserve System will agree with
the Board. It is not improbable, unless the situation should
improve materially, that questions involving not only the attitude of the Federal Reserve System but also the exercise of the
discount functions of the Federal Reserve banks may arise. It
is the feeling of the Board that such matters might well be left
to be dealt with when the occasion for their consideration ap

be brought to its attention.
Copies of this letter are being sent to the Chairmen of all
Federal Reserve banks and to the Secretary of State.

Waiver of reports of affiliates of State member banks.
Consideration was given to a draft of a letter to the Federal
Reserve agents at all Federal Reserve banks transmitting forms and
instructions for use in connection with the next call for condition
reports of State member banks and enclosing the following statement
of provisions with regard to the waiver of reports of affiliates of
member banks which would supersede the waiver provisions previously in effect:
Pursuant to section 21 of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended,
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System waives
the requirement for the submission of reports of affiliates (other
than of holding-company affiliates, as defined in section 2 (c) of
the Banking Act of 1933, as amended) of State bank members
of the Federal Reserve System, except:
(a) When indebtedness, if any, of the affiliate to the member
bank has been carried for more than 6 months in the 12
months preceding the report date as an asset on the bank's
books at a value in excess of 1 percent of the bank's capital and surplus, or $5,000, whichever is the smaller, regardless of whether the affiliate is so indebted on the report
date.
(b) When, on the report date, the affiliate is indebted to the
member bank, or the member bank owns obligations of,
or stock or other evidences of ownership in, the affiliate,
and the aggregate amount of such indebtedness, obligations, stock, or other evidences of ownership is carried as
an asset on the bank's books at a value in excess of 1 percent of the member bank's capital and surplus, or $5,000,
whichever amount is the smaller.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System also
waives the requirement for the submission of reports of affiliates
in all cases where the affiliate relationship is based solely on
ownership or control of any voting shares of the affiliate by
a member bank as executor, administrator, trustee, receiver,
agent, depositary, or in any other fiduciary capacity, except
where such shares are held for the benefit of all or a majority of
the stockholders of such member banks.
The above provisions with respect to the waiving of the
requirements for submission of reports of affiliates are subject
to change whenever deemed advisable by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System in order to require the submission of reports which are necessary to disclose fully relations

229
between member banks and their affiliates and the effect thereof
upon the affairs of member banks.
The foregoing statement of waiver provisions was approved by
unanimous vote in order to carry into effect in a practical manner
the purpose of the last paragraph of section 21 of the Federal Reserve Act which authorizes the Board to waive the requirement for
reports of affiliates of State member banks with respect to any report of any affiliate if in the judgment of the Board such report is
not necessary to disclose fully the relations between the affiliate and
the member bank and the effect thereof upon the affairs of such
bank.

Insured mortgages excepted from provisions of condition of membership re*
garding issuance and sale of evidences of indebtedness representing real
estate loans.
The Board had previously granted a request from a State member
bank that mortgages insured under the National Housing Act be
excepted from the provisions of a condition of membership, numbered 12, to which the bank was subject, which reads as follows:
Such bank shall not engage as a business in issuing or selling, either directly or indirectly (through affiliated corporations
or otherwise), notes, bonds, mortgages, certificates, or other evidences of indebtedness representing real-estate loans or participations therein, either with or without a guarantee, endorsement,
or other obligation of such bank or an affiliated corporation.
In adopting Regulation H as revised, effective January 1, 1936,
the Board had incorporated a provision to the effect that a similar
standard condition of membership, numbered 3, which was prescribed
in the regulation, should not apply to the sale of mortgages insured
under the National Housing Act.
In view of the conditions under which mortgages may be insured
under the National Housing Act and in view of the foregoing decisions of the Board it was decided, by unanimous vote, to request the
Federal Reserve agents at all Federal Reserve banks to advise all
State members in their respective districts which were subject to
the condition of membership quoted above, or any condition to the
same general effect, that it would not be treated as applying to the
sale of mortgages insured under the National Housing Act.
MEETING ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2 8, 19 35
Present: Mr. Eccles, Chairman; Mr. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr.
Hamlin, Mr. Miller, Mr. James, Mr. Szymczak.
Deferment of effective date of subsection 1 (f) of Regulation Q.
Attention wTas directed to the fact that subsection (f) of section 1
of the Board's Kegulation Q, which had been issued to become effective January 1, 1936, with regard to the payment by member banks
of interest on deposits contained among its provisions a definition of
230
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
interest which included the absorption by member banks of exchange
and collection charges involving out-of-pocket expenses; that a number of banking institutions and banking officials had advised members of the Board that in the absence of a similar provision in the
new regulations to be issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation pursuant to the Banking Act of 1935 insured nonmember
banks would be given a material advantage in soliciting business
which would constitute a serious handicap and source of embarrassment to member banks in view of the provisions of the Board's regulations: and that the suggestion had been made that pending the
issuance of the new regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation the Board defer the effective date of this particular
provision of its regulation. The Board agreed that the request was
justified in the circumstances.
It was decided, therefore, by unanimous vote, to defer the effective
date of subsection (f) of section 1 of Regulation Q of the Board of
Governors which had been issued effective January 1, 1936, until
further action by the Board and to send a telegram to the Federal Reserve agents at all Federal Reserve banks requesting them to advise
all member banks in their respective districts without delay that,
pending action by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on its
regulation relating to the payment of interest on deposits by insured
nonmember banks, the Board deferred, until such date as might be
fixed by further action of the Board, the date upon which the subsection designated above would become effective, all other provisions of
Regulation Q becoming effective on January 1, 1936.
RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS—FEDERAL OPEN
MARKET COMMITTEE
The following is a copy of record of actions by the Federal Open
Market Committee on questions of policy, required by the last paragraph of section 10 of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended by the
Banking Act of 1935, to be kept by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System:
MEETINGS ON OCTOBER 22-24, 1935
There were present: Mr. Harrison, Chairman of the Federal Open
Market Committee and Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York; Messrs. Young, Norris, Fleming, Seay, Newton, Schaller,
Martin, Geery, Hamilton, and Calkins, Governors of the Federal Reserve Banks of Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta,
Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, and San Francisco,
respectively; Mr. Gilbert, Deputy Governor of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Dallas; and Mr. Burgess, Secretary of the Federal Open
Market Committee and Deputy Governor of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York.
After a review of business and credit conditions the Committee, by
unanimous vote, adopted the following resolution. The reasons for
the Committee's action are set forth in the resolution:
The Committee reviewed the preliminary memorandum submitted by the Chairman and discussed at length business and
credit conditions and the banking position in relation to them.
It was the unanimous opinion of the Committee that the primary
objective of the System at the present time is still to lend its efforts towards the furtherance of recovery. While much progress
has been made, it cannot be said that business activity on the
whole is yet normal, or that the effects of the depression are yet
overcome. Statistics of business activity and business credit
-activity, both short and long term, do not show any undue expansion. In these circumstances, the Committee "was unanimously of the opinion that there is nothing in the business or
credit situation which at this time necessitates the adoption of
any policy designed to retard credit expansion.
But the Committee cannot fail to recognize that the rapid
.growth of bank deposits and bank reserves in the past year and a
half is building up a credit base which may be very difficult to
control if undue credit expansion should become evident. The
continued large imports of gold and silver serve to increase the
magnitude of that problem. Even now actual reserves of member banks are more than double their requirements, and there is
no evidence of a let-up in their growth. That being so, the Committee is of the opinion that steps should be taken by the Reserve
231
232
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
System as promptly as may be possible to absorb at least some of
these excess reserves, not with a view to checking some further
expansion of credit, but rather to put the System in a better
position to act effectively in the event that credit expansion
should go too far.
Two methods of absorbing excess reserves have been discussed
by the Committee: (a) the sale of short-term Government securities by the Federal Reserve System, and (&) the raising of
reserve requirements.
While the Committee feels that method (a), if employed,
would have the dual effect of absorbing excess reserves and
improving the position of the Eeserve banks, nevertheless, there
are two risks in this method, First, that it may be a shock to
the bond market, inducing sales of securities by banks all over
the country; second, that however it may be explained publicly,
it may be misconstrued by the public as a major reversal of
credit policy, since this method has never been employed except
as a means of restraint, which is not desired at this time. A
majority of the Committee is opposed to the sale of Government
securities at this time, believing that its advantages do not now
justify the risks involved in this method of dealing with the
subject.
There are also risks incident to method (i)—raising reserve
requirements. This method of control is new and untried and
may possibly prove at this time to be an undue and restraining
influence on the desirable further extension of bank credit.
The Committee feels, therefore, that before this method of dealing with the problem of excess reserves is employed, it would
be wise for the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to make a thorough study, through the 12 Federal Reserve
banks, of the amount and location of excess reserves by districts and by classes of banks, in order thus to determine whether,
or to what extent if at all, an increase in reserve requirements
might interfere with the extension of loans and investments
of member banks.
In view of the monetary powers now possessed by the Treasury, the Committee is impressed with the importance of advising
with the Treasury relative to any steps that may be taken by
the Reserve System in order as far as possible to insure reasonable coordination of action.
Furthermore, the Committee recognizes the possible dangers
of the public misunderstanding of any action which may be
taken in this matter, and would favor a careful public statement
before action is taken.
In making these suggestions to the Board of Governors regarding reserve requirements, the Committee recognizes that it is
going somewhat beyond its own immediate jurisdiction, but it
has found it impossible to consider open-market operations independently from the whole credit situation and other Federal
Reserve policies.
After discussion it was agreed that the authority previously granted
to the executive committee of the Federal Open Market Committee
to make shifts of maturities in the system open-market account should
POLICY ACTIONS—FEDEKAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE
233
be continued, as necessary in the proper administration of the account, to enable the executive committee to replace maturities from
time to time and to make shifts in maturities to meet changing market
conditions. Therefore, it was unanimously
Voted, that superseding previous authorizations, the executive
committee be authorized to make shifts between maturities of
Government securities up to $300,000,000, provided that the
amount of securities maturing within two years be maintained at
not less than $1,000,000,000, and that the amount of bonds be not
over $500,000,000.
It was also agreed that authority should be given to the executive
committee to buy or sell (which would include authority to allow
maturities to run off) securities for System account up to a certain
amount, in order that the committee might be in a position to act
promptly if circumstances not now foreseen should make action appear desirable before a further meeting of the full committee. Therefore, it was unanimously
Voted, that the executive committee be authorized to buy or
sell up to $250,000,000 of Government securities subject to telegraphic approval of a majority of the Federal Open Market Committee and the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System.
MEETINGS ON DECEMBER 1 7 - 1 8 , 19 35
There were present: Mr. Harrison, Chairman of the Federal Open
Market Committee and Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York; Messrs. Young, Noras, Fleming, Seay, Newton, Schaller,
Martin, Geery, Hamilton, McKinney, and Calkins, Governors of the
Federal Reserve Banks of Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas,
and San Francisco, respectively; Mr. Burgess, Secretary of the Federal Open Market Committee and Deputy Governor of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York.
After a joint discussion with the members of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System on business and credit
conditions and various aspects of credit policy, and after consideration of a preliminary memorandum on credit conditions and a memorandum on excess reserves and Federal Reserve policy presented by
the chairman, and after extended discussion of various proposals including a resolution by the Federal Advisory Council, the committee
by an 8 to 4 vote adopted the following resolution:
The Committee has considered the preliminary memorandum
and a memorandum on excess reserves and Federal Reserve
policy and has discussed various aspects of the credit situation.
The Committee finds that continued improvement has been
made in business and financial conditions since its last meeting
but the country is still short of a full recovery and there does
not appear to be anything in the situation which makes it necessary for the Reserve System now to reverse its policy of easy
money. It is still the unanimous opinion of the Committee that
56048—36
16
234
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
the primary objective of the Reserve System should be to lend its
efforts toward the furtherance of recovery.
It is the view of the Committee, however, that the amount
of excess reserves of member banks constitutes a source of danger
for the reasons expressed in the reports before the Committee
at its October meeting and those considered at this meeting.
The Committee believes, therefore, that action should be taken
as soon as possible without undue risk to absorb a part of these
excess reserves as a safeguard against possible dangers, and not
as a policy of credit restraint.
Two principal methods of accomplishing this have been
discussed by the Committee: (a) Permitting the present system
holdings of Treasury bills to mature without replacement, and
(b) raising reserve requirements. Some of the members of the
Committee would prefer the employment of method (a) and
others would prefer method (b).
Those members of the Committee who prefer method (a), that
is, the reduction of holdings of short-term Government securities by the system, are so strongly of the opinion that some
early action should be taken that they join with those members
favoring method (b), an increase in reserve requirements, in a
recommendation that the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System should consider some early and substantial increase in the present reserve requirements of member banks
which were fixed at a time when the gold base of the country
was substantially lower than it is now. The Committee refrains
from recommending or suggesting any precise time or percentage of increase or the classes of banks to be affected, believing
that the time or amount and character of action would, of course,
have to be determined by the Board of Governors in the light
of all the conditions as they appear at the time action is actually taken, not only business and credit conditions but also the
banking situation particularly as it may be affected by the
Government's fiscal policy.
The vote on this resolution was as follows: Yes, Governors Harrison, Fleming. Norris, Seay, Schaller, Geery, Hamilton, McKinney;
No, Governors Young, Newton, Martin, Calkins.
After discussion it was agreed that authority voted to the executive committee of the Federal Open Market Committee at two
previous meetings to make shifts of maturities in the System open
market account, should be continued, as necessary in the proper
administration of the account to enable the executive committee to
replace maturities from time to time and to make shifts in maturities
to meet changing market conditions. With respect to the amount
of authority which the committee should have in shifting from
shorter maturities to bonds it was agreed that some limited authority
was advisable in order to deal with any market situation that might
arise. It was therefore unanimously
Voted, that superseding previous authorizations, the executive committee be authorized to make shifts between maturities
of Government securities up to $300,000,000, provided that the
amount of securities maturing within two years be maintained

FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE
235
at not less than $1,000,000,000 and that the amount of bonds
be not over $300,000,000.
It was also agreed that authority should be given to the executive
committee to buy or sell (which would include authority to allow
maturities to run off) securities for System account within limits
as to amount, in order that the committee might be in a position to
act promptly if circumstances not now foreseen should make action
appear desirable before a further meeting of the full committee.
It was therefore unanimously
Voted, that the executive committee be authorized to buy or
sell up to $250,000,000 of Government securities, subject to telegraphic approval of a majority of the Federal Open Market
Committee and the approval of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FEDERAL ADVISORY COUNCIL TO THE
BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
NOVEMBER 21, 1935
TOPIC N O . 1.—Open-market operations and the excess reserves.
RECOMMENDATION.—The Federal Advisory Council, in view of the
fact that it has been advised by the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System that the Board does not have the
authority to initiate open-market operations, requests the Board to
submit the following recommendation to the Open Market Committee
and to call for that purpose a special meeting of said committee at an
early date.
The Federal Advisory Council of the Federal Reserve System has
received the communication of the Board of Governors of the System,
236
RECOMMENDATIONS OF FEDERAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
237
wherein reference is made to the statement of the Council made to
the Board at its meeting of September 24, 1935, concerning the
amount of Government securities held by the System, which has not
varied for a long time, and calling the attention of the Board to the
basic theory of open market operations: that there should at all
times prevail sufficient flexibility to prevent undue expansion and
contraction in the credit structure of the country. The Council
enquired whether the Board agreed with the principle enunciated.
The present communication of the Board recognizes "the necessity
ifor the consideration of the factors referred to in the statement as
elements in the determination of open-market policy" and closes with
the statement that "if the Council has any proposals to make with
respect to the operation of the open-market account of the Federal
Reserve System, which it believes to be pertinent in the existing situation, all factors considered, the Board will, as in the past, be glad to
receive them and consider them."
The Council is fully cognizant of and thoroughly appreciates the
importance and significance of the obligation imposed upon it by law
"to confer directly with the Federal Reserve Board" and "to make
recommendations in regard to discount rates, rediscount business,
note issues, reserve conditions in the various districts, the purchase
and sale of gold or securities by reserve banks, open-market operations
by said banks, and the general affairs of the reserve banking system,"
and it has given its most careful and earnest consideration to the
suggestion by the Board that it will be glad to receive from the
Council such proposals as it may make with respect to the open market
account of the system.
As a result of this consideration the Council desires to call the attention of the Board to the fact that, since the discontinuance, more than
2 years ago, of open-market purchases by the System, excess reserves
•of member banks held by the System have now reached the unprecedented total of more than 3 billion dollars, which may well be considered as a base upon which additional bank credit can be extended
to the extent of at least 30 billion dollars with a corresponding increase
of bank deposit liabilities.
The Council believes that there have now been some considerable
evidences of recovery in business, of an increase in prices generally,
and particularly in the security markets of the country, with the
possibility, at least, that a too rapid advance of security prices could
easily develop into a new wave of speculation such as preceded the
market collapse of 1929. The constant pressure of the very large
excess reserves of the member banks creating a plethora of the available supply of bank credit has a very distinct tendency to foster and
encourage speculative activity, increase prices, and raise the living
cost of the population. The Council believes that, even with the
practically complete elimination of excess reserves, the banking system of the country would still be prepared and ardently desirous of
meeting any and all legitimate and proper demands for bank credit,
and the Council is strongly of the opinion that, in order to obviate
the probability of an undue and dangerous credit inflation, it is
desirable from every point of view to eliminate or at least greatly
reduce the excess reserves now being carried in the System.
Since the enactment of the Banking Act of 1935, there exist two
methods by which this can be accomplished: (1) The selling or
238
ANNUAL REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNORS
"permitting to run off" of a portion or all of the System holdings of
Government securities. (2) Raising of reserve requirements.
The Council has most earnestly considered the question as to
which of these two methods might be the more desirable under the
present circumstances and has determined to recommend as strongly
as possible the first method.
The controlling reason for this is the indisputable fact that so long
as Government bonds are held under the ownership of the System,
either the currency of the country or the reserves of member banks, to
a corresponding extent, are dependent entirely upon a Government
obligation. The world history of currency and banking has demonstrated the dangers inherent in such a system or policy too many
times to make it necessary for them to be elaborated upon in this
communication.
There is, however, another reason for preferring the first method,
namely, the ease and flexibility with which it may be administered.
Under that method, Government security holdings may be permitted to run off or may be sold, rapidly or gradually, as in the
judgment of the Open Market Committee may seem to be feasible or
advisable. If at any time the effects seem to be too severe, it is
possible to suspend or even temporarily to reverse the policy.
Under the second method, namely, increase of reserve requirements, rigidity is substituted for flexibility, since it must be entirely
apparent to any one that frequent changes in reserve requirements
would create a chaotic condition in planning for the future by member
bank management.
Finally, the Council wishes to make perfectly clear to the Board
that, after Government security holdings of the System have been
eliminated or greatly reduced, and if, then, further curbs upon speculation should seem to be desirable, there would certainly be no
possible objection to an increase in reserve requirements. On the
contrary, it would become the clear and plain duty of the Board
fearlessly and promptly to take such action.
TOPIC NO. 2.—Regulations in respect to margin requirements on
collateral loans of banks.
RECOMMENDATION.—The Federal Advisory Council understands
that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is contemplating issuing regulations to deal with the control of collateral
loans to be made by banks. The Council, therefore, reaffirms
herewith its recommendation of May 15, 1934, reading as follows:
The members of the Federal Advisory Council are of the opinion
that the Federal Reserve Board before issuing regulations under
this bill (Stock Exchange bill, S. 3420), provided it is enacted
into law, should make a careful study as regards the needs of the
situation. It should be pointed out that the power conferred on
the Board is to be permissive and not mandatory. Consequently, there is no need for the Board to issue any regulations
until there is evidence that there is necessity for them. In
general the members of the Council feel that ii the Board conscientiously can refrain from adding unnecessarily to the innumerable regulations, orders, and laws of all kinds under which banks
are at present compelled to operate it will be doing a distinct
service.
RECOMMENDATIONS OF FEDERAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
239
If and when the Federal Reserve Board deems it necessary and
advisable to issue regulations under this provision of the proposed law then it is to be hoped that the Board will bear in mind
the need for maintaining adequate markets not merely for securities listed on the more important exchanges of the country but
also for securities which have merely a restricted local market
and those which are sold over the counter and not listed. Stringent regulations may result in destroying the market for the
securities of small worthy industries and thereby possibly
destroy these industries themselves by making it impossible for
them to obtain needed capital.
