Today and Wednesday Starts Thursday 2 MAJOR HITS Toiftrg Fugitive I "V . ! IVafiHceDEERY I nun IIOXGA (rSULUVAN jontzu waMW (McbExplains Bank Theories Qualitative, Quantitative Theories Said Factors I in Banking Ideas ' iThe conflicting theories "of qualitative and quantitative bank ing are paramount factors in the national development of banking theory today. Prof. Frank Chllds of the economics department of Willamette university said in an address at the Salem chamber of commerce lunfheon Monday. - The Quantitartre theory is : the sewed one and Involves the arti ficial , expansion or contraction of credit and of money in cir culation to stimulate business or to prevent too rapid .tnd un healthy an expansion, he explain ed. The difficulty has been, he added, that the federtl reserve board, though able to control these factors, has not been able to control velocity of transac tions; if credit is made easy, there is no certainty that money Will be borrowed, and It the open market operations committee puts money in circulation by buying securities, that money quickly finds its way back into the banks. Ecclee Is Exponent Marrlner Eccles, chairman of the board of governors of the federal reserve system. Is an exponent of this new quantitative theory; Secretary Morgenthau and some others on the board favor the older theory, Chllds said. The change whereby this board became responsible to the federal administration rather than to the member banks of the federal reserve system, is one reason for business uncertainty, the speaker explained, since the board's action in manipulating the rediscount rate and the re quired reserves of banks, may have important effect on bus iness. .' ' ' State banking regulations have been greatly tightened in recent years, Chllds said, pointing to an instance of a bank being es tablished In West Virginia with $2000. capital and without ex perienced bankers in charge. Prof. Chllds, a Salem high and Willamette graduate who obtained his master's degree at University of Southern California, goes to University of Minnesota under a teaching fellowship to obtain his doctorate next year. President Bruce R. Baxter said in introducing the speaker. Prof. William C. Jones will return to the chair' of economics at Willam ette this fall.
