Perhaps those in rhurg of lh Federal Reserve do not intend to be hostile, but as the Observer views things the directorate of the system is largely composed of men who have had their llmiuing in circle other tlhan those of the producer, and as men are trained so they will be. Then-e is no way to get by that old rule. It is but natural for these men to handle the great reservoir of credits to use tlieir own measuring stick upon every application.

Therefore in tho Grande Hondo valley tho man who' owns a half section of the best land is prevented from using tho Federal' t Iteserve bnnk whereas the man who has a hunch of steel's and no land Is favored by the bank. The word "liquid', as applied by the Federal Reserve system, is going to be a breaking point with many a goo'd man.
