CATHOLIC SOCIETY COMPLAINTS HELD JUST Ex-Controller "Williams Tells Joint Commission, That Tanners Are ' Mistreated. OPENS CONVENT WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug-. 2. Pol icies of the federal reserve board dur ing the last 18 months or more were attacked today before a joint con gressional commission by John Skel ton Williams, ex-controller of the currency, who charged that the board had displayed undue favoritism In lending to New York banking groups while southern and western borrow ers were unduly curtailed. There was "abundant ground for complaints of discrimination by farmers generally," he said. The congressional commission was appointed to inquire into the agricul tural situation and summoned Mr. Williams In connection with its in vestigation into credit facilities for farmers. Many of Mr. Williams' assertions were challenged in cross-examination by Representative Ogden Mills, re publican. New York, a commission member. DlMiffrffmpnt In ExprMfd. "I did not agree with the policy cf the reserve board in indiscrimi nately raising interest rates in 1919," Mr. Williams said, "nor did I agree with it previously in a policy of mak ing prodigal advances to institutions in the east to the disadvantage of the west and south. "I found that the board In 1919. was advancing directly and indirectly a total sum of $130,000,000 to a single institution In New York City." Mr. Williams read statistics which he said showed New York, Chicago and other large city banks were get ting more reserve loans than all the country banks during the period. He was asked to present 1921 figures. too, and promised to do so. Borrowings Are Cited. The New York reserve bank, Mr. Williams said, always was a tre mendous borrower, "to the extent of four times its capital," for use in speculative operations and promo tions. It developed that the reserve board established "basic lines," compound ed from resource totals of banks which controlled amount of redis counts. "On December 26. 1919," the report showed, "the New York federal reserve bank had lent to one New York bank J130, 000,000," Mr; Williams said. He said he had protested to the board at the extent of the credit, "because the bank was conspicuous for its specu lative activities." "This was not a national bank?" Chairman Anderson asked. "It was not," Mr. Willi.fwis returned. "I asked a special examination of its condition but it was not allowed on the ground that the board's interven tion might alarm the state banking authorities." Law Declared Evdf4. Senator Harrison, democrat, Missis sippi, asked if the reserve law did not forbid "speculative borrowings." Mr. Williams said it did. "But that does not prevent an In stitution from borrowing $10,000,000 in liberty bonds," Sir. Williams added, "and rediscounting it with the reserve system and then lending the money to its president for speculative op erations. "The reserve board has always loaned largely and at low rates of interest," Mr. Williams continued, "to certain New York institutions and maintained the practice in good times and hard times alike, when the board was forcing liquidation at immense sacrifices to borrowers in Richmond, Atlanta and Dallas districts."
