Minutes)

44d (2) authorize
the printing of 60,000 copies for distribution to

the
Federal

Reserve Banks.

The memorandum stated that it might be

riecessarY to print additional copies as it was not possible at this
time
to forecast
whether more copies would be needed:
"Reference is made to the Board's telegram of De!
ember 31 regarding registration under Regulation W on
after January 1, 1942, notifying you that a new Form
R. 563-a
was in preparation but authorizing the Re

thiS form will be used, it will probably be desirable to

8, 191"Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of January
ma00 2 enclosing a copy of a letter from Mr. E. J.
:ermott of the M-A-C Plan Management Bureau, Worcester,
ua
'
a eachusetts, regarding the effect of Regulation W upon
cel
'
tain proposed transfer of equity in an automobile.




151

. "The facts appear to be that prior to September 1
an individual had purchased a car for 800 on a finance
Plan; that the outstanding balance has now been paid down
that the purchaser anticipates entering the Navy
and wishes to transfer his equity to his father; and that
the father wishes to borrow from the M-A-C Plan Management
Bureau a sum sufficient to pay off the outstanding balance,
new loan to be on an instalment basis. The question
ls whether the Bureau may lend the full amount, or only
t
wo-thirds.
"You point out that this case differs in at least
(1)/:le respect from that described in W-72, namely, that a
dlfferent lender is asked to finance the outstanding balance after the transfer of the equity. However, this is
e only
important difference if the terms of the loan
to the father
are the same as the terms upon which the
?
u tstanding
balance was to have been paid by the son, and
the son is liable on the loan. In view of section
5„(e) the son could have borrowed the full amount from the
,1 :ureau and could then have transferred his equity to his
1,_ather in exact compliance with V.-72, and consequently
• e making of the transfer in one operation as proposed
ln Mr. MacDermott's letter would be permitted.
, "Even if the terms upon which the money were borrowed
1Fom the Bureau were not the same as the terms upon which
,,Te outstanding balance was to have been paid by the son,
,ue provision in section 8(a)(1) to which you refer might
n11 cover the case. That provision permits a Registrant
e any renewal or revs on, or to take any action
that°makii
t
shall deem necessary in Good faith, with respect
any obligation of any member of the armed forces of
United States incurred prior to his induction into
0,
e Service. Of course the provision refers to a 'member'
tt the armed forces, whereas you point out that in pracalially all cases the individual wishes to rearrange his
thlalrs before joining the Service. It would seem that
,
e 8 difficulty could be met either by postponing the
e„!eution of the new contract until Some date after his
.
:
t1;6rY into the Service, or by providing in the contract
viat it would be effective upon his entry into the Sera ee. Obviously these methods would not be as convenient
t11
8 completin:; the transfer prior to his induction into
the
Service, but if section 8(a)(1) were made applicable
ises where an individual merely contemplated enterthe1
Service, there would probably be a great many




152
1/30/42

-7-

"Cases where revisions would be allowed for individuals
Who ultimately did
not join the Service.
"You also describe a transfer of equity which is accomplished by the following means: the husband sells his
equity to his wife who agrees to pay the outstanding balance due on the chattel mortgage, and the husband then
assigns this conditional sales contract to the finance
?ompany, thus completing the substitution of obligors.
some cases the husband guarantees the payment of the
conditional sales contract; but it is assumed that in
anY event the husband remains liable to the seller.
AS indicated above, the mechanics by which the
transfer of
equity is accomplished are not important,
Provided the other conditions of W-72 are met."

"Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of January

(Th
res reason for
such a schedule would be that the obligor
arceives his compensation semi-monthly and has already
0,ranged for his rent and certain other bills to fall due
u the
first payday in the month.
th "As you point out, such a schedule would not violate
.(3e sPirit or purpose of section 5(c)(2). However, as
advised Mr. Butler, the proposed schedule would not

..act comply with the provisions of that section, since
that
ti I,8eotion requires that instalments shall be substanme

a.nle ,"If you should feel that it would be desirable to
the Regulation so as to take care of this situation,
the

views.
"Of course, where a loan in reality represents two

separate transactions, Regulation Wwould not prevent
the parties from making two separate notes having different
instalment dates. Furthermore, if two such notes were
made, they could be consolidated subsequently under Option
1 in section 8(b) into an obligation having the same paym.ent schedule
as the two notes originally had. Obviously,
1:f there were actually only one loan, this could not be
clone, and it would not be permissible, for example, to
lake one note payable
in 18 instalments and the other note
ln a lump sum payable 19 months from date.”

as follows:
%len the Board wrote to you on November 12, 1941
in response to your invitation,
with regard to a new
subdivision
(14) which is proposed to be added to section 2 of the Securities Act of 1933, the Board stated
t:hat at an
appropriate time it might have comments which
would wish to submit to your Committee with respect
to other
proposals for amendments to the Securities Act
of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
"Since that time the views of the Board with respect

Of 1933, proposed section 17(c) of the Securities Act
relating to false reports, have been submitted
Your Committee. As shown on page 834 of Part III of
to
of the Hearings of your Committee, the Board
and other
;7c1
Other Federal bank supervisory agencies have recommended that the banks supervised by these various Federal
:gencies be exempted from the provisions of the proposed
13:!_i°n 17(c). As stated in that recommendation these
wnIKS are subject to section 5209 of the Revised Statutes
;4-eh, among other things, deals generally with the same
'Problems to which section 17(c) is addressed.

Act of 1933 and these companies under the
oraru's supervision are also made subject to the penalties

such companies should be exempted from the provisions
ot

and of duplication of supervision which might arise out
of the application of the proposed provisions of section
17(c)
"The
holding company affiliates
of banks proposed exemption of
has been discussed with representatives of the
ourities and Exchange Commission and we are advised that
t
btehe Commission feels that the question of exemption of
.hese
companies is one which the Reserve Board may wish
to present to your Committee and as to the adoption of
w
thi,oh the Securities and Exchange Commission has no posi2J3n. In this connection, it may be mentioned that when
re Investment Company Act of 1940, which was considered
a
L7
, your Committee, was pending in Congress the Board,
ilter considering the matter with representatives of the
v?curities and Exchange Commission, recommended that in
_lew of the Board's supervisory responsibilities with
1:espects to
holding company affiliates of banks these
av-ns
titutions be exempted from the provisions of the In4.??tment Company Act. Your Committee and Congress adopted
recommendation and exempted from that Act holding
srPanY affiliates which hold general voting permits isbY the Board under its supervisory authority.
The proposed section 17(c) now pending before your
,oMmittee reads as follows:
'It shall be unlawful for any issuer, by
use of the mails or in interstate commerce,
to send to its stockholders a report containing
any statement which is false or misleading with
to a material fact.'
The Board specifically recommends that the follow"The

'This subsection shall not apply to any
bank the officers of which are subject to section 5209 of the Revised Statutes, as amended,
or to any holding company affiliate, as defined in the Banking Act of 1933, which holds
a general voting permit issued to it by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve SysUnder the provisions of section 5144 of the
