At the close of business on April .10, this bank had $202,000,000 of loans se cured by government obligations, and 5.10,000,000 on commercial paper. In cluding acceptances bought. Our ratio was, therefore. 87-1H. We had loaned all that we had to loan and $21,000,000 borrowed from other Federal Reserve banks, nnd of this entire nmount nearly seven-eighths was on government ob ligations und only a little over one eighth on the kind of paper which the bank was created to handle. Still more regrettable is the fact that these loans on government obligations show no tendency to decline. Tor the hint four mouths they show no appreciable change. The result is that If an emer gency should develop In which member banks would be obliged to call upon this bank to rediscount for them liberally, its capacity to serve them would be very limited, and would be largely de pendent upon Its ability to secure ac commodations irom other Federal Re serve banks. Method of Reduction "We hie confident that you will agree with us that this condition should be corrected through a reduction in loans, particularly loans secured by govern ment obligations. As means to this end, wc venture to submit these suggestion: 'Tirst. That member banks uige upon customers for whom they nre car rying Libirty bond or Victory note sub scriptions, even moro strongly flian be fore, tho necessity of applying earn ings or savings to the liquidation of their loans. "Second. That banks receiving such payments from customers appl them promptly and exclusively to the reduc tion of any loans which the bank may have with the Federal Reserve Bank, ou securd paper. "Third. That in the case ofbnnks which have borrowed from the Federal Reserve Bank on bonds or notes owned b them. the reduce those loans monthly, hy the application of payments received on mnturinc miner, or of sur plus earnings. Where neither of those Is possible we would suggest the gradual liquidation of their holdings, as such liquidation can be effected without further depression of the market.
