CONTROL OF BANKS DENIED
Dy the Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 4. Governor
Harding, of the Federal Reserve Hoard,
begnn today a defense of his admin
istration before the Congressional Com
mission which hns heard a scries of
criticisms ngainst the board, including
those of John Skclton Williams, former
Comptroller of the Currency. Workings
of the nntlnnnl credit svstrm, Governor
Harding said, are In tho hands of the
reserve banks, and over theso the board
hns "general supervision," adding that
this did not mean "control."
"In law, the reserve banks nre
private corporations," he continued,
"controlled by their director. Con
gress did not attempt to establish a
central bank, but did furnish u means
of mobilizing credits."
Representative Funk, Republican.
Illinois, said that In 1020 there had
been a feeling in the West that reserves
were not being made available for their
banks.
"The feeling wafl not warranted,"
Governor Hording said, "and I want
to discuss it later. Tho difficulty wns
in the unsultablllty of some of the
available paper."
The question of individual credit
extension "clearly Is up to the reserve
banks," Governor Harding snid. "Now,
If through prejudice or other cnuf.e,
the district bank refused n rediscount,
the member bank might appeal to the
reserve board, but up to that polut wc
could not interfere.
"It Is true that the reserve board
has power to change an Interest rate on
rediscounts after it has been put Into
effect by a district bnnk. But thnt has
never been exercised. "

Staff, apropos of her dancing. It was
during the war, when she was perform
ing nt a private social function.
In the middle of her dance Sir Wil
