System
A LMOST from thfe birth-of this Republic and up to a de
x cade ago, America's ablest statesmen, economists, and
financiers vainly sought a .remedy for the financial ills of
the country and a satisfactory Response to -the insistent de-'
mand fora banking system capable of adjusting itself to
the varying needs of the nation. ; iCongress twice sought to solve
the difficulty by the establishment of a central Bank of the United
States, but failed.. The vast extent of territory affd the totally dif
ferent. requirements of its various sections could not be served
adequately by a central bank. A period ofexperimentation In State1
and National Banking Systems followed, neither of .which was en
tirely successful, i Meanwhile panic followed panic, with disastrous
results. - . J . . ; : j. . -i 'x
The panic of 1907 caused Congress It give the situation its immedi-
is auenuon. created a xnonetary commission, which, after a
thorough study of the world's banking systems, made an exhaustive
report. The Pujo Committee also investigated the banking methods
in this country. With this data at hand, Congress, early in 1913,
took up the matter, of banking reform in earnest and in December
of that year the Federal Keserve Act was placed on; the statute books.
This Act is universally admitted to be a great constructive piece" of
legislation and is praised even by critics, ef the Federal Reserve
System. Under its wise provisions ; the money .of the country no
lonfr is mobilized in one or two sections but Is distributed regionally through
the 12 Federal Keserve Districts to the Federal Eeserve Bants, and . by tham.
redistributed to their Branch Banks. While formerly, as in 1907, the money
required to move the crops on this coast Was at the other side of the Bockies.
now credit is always available at opj moving time.', i
Born amid the confusion of the Great Warr the Federal Iteserve System met a.
test-whkh its most ardent supporters never anticipated. And if stood the test.
'In the opinion of the bankers of the country the age of 'panics is past, i It is
only a question of time until ALL banks! will become members of "the Federal
Keserve System. Nothing else can give that feeling; of security which the dis
criminating depositors of today demand,. ;
