THE F£MRAL RESERVE
A NATIONAL PROBLEM
By WILLIAM E. KNOX
President, American Bankers Assocto*

Th« Federal Reserve situation is the
paramount problem before American
banking today- The time is approach
ing when it will
be necessary for
the nation to
consider
t
question of
chartering t h e

through all the stress of war. Inflation,
depression and revival. It served this
country a« no country was ever served
by a banking Bystem. We know that
without it our nation wouM have bad
a financial disaster far more devaaat-
Ing than any that ever assailed It.
While we have this groat loyahy
and obligation to the System, we must
recognise that among its friends there
has risen serious controversy over
many matters of detail. There are
many demands for change In the
methods of its management and In de
tails of Its operation. Where these
demands represent broadly the great
est good of the greatest number we
should support them. Where they
represent merely narrow, diverse in
threats of one part of the country or
one type of bualneus or finance, they
should be subordinated to the common
good. Ws should meet on the great
broad ground of the coin mon wel
fare—first to preserve the system in
general as It to now coastructed, and
aecondly to bring about, carefully and
aoundly, such changes as are required
to adjuat it to circumstances of today
The tack of considering, sifting,
weighing and co-ordinating dlsqpssion
and suggestions regarding the Federal
Reserve System has boen eonflded to
the Economic Policy Commission of
the American Bankers Association. It
Is hoped that thereby the Federal Re
serve System will ba given the best
thought and the best support of bank
ing There to no greater service bank

It g<!es i’vht to the heart of rood

Portland Grain Firm
Building Bulk Elevators
Two large grain elevators are be
ing erected at Portland by Balfour,
Guthrie & Co. to supplement their
already extensive facilities at that
place for handling grain. The ele
vators wiien completed will represent
an investment of approximately
$250,000.
The building of these two ele
vators is not only significant of Port
land’s lead as a grain shipping center
but also of the fact that grain in
bulk is being handled more and more
as opposed to the old method of
handling it in sacks.
One of the two elevators, which
will have a capacity of 10,000 tons,
is now being built on proper'/ ad-
joining the company’s dock on the
east aide waterfront just below the
Broadway bridge. The'other is bt-
ing built as an addition to the firm’s
milling equipment at Front and Pet-
tygrove streets. This elevator will
have a capacity of approximately
6000 tons, making the bulk storage
capacity at the mill approximately
11,000 tons. The building of this
elevator is significant of plans for the
expansion of the firm’s Hour milling
business.
Mx. Pattullu, northwest manager
for the company, announced last

Why is Hay Fever
Asks Eastern Man
An eastern newspaper suggests
that men of medicine turn their at
tention to hay fever.
There is no
doubt that a remedy for this distress
ing and mysterious malady would
prove a great blessing for a large
number of persons throughout the
world. We call it a mysterious mala
dy because it is so. What is its cause
and why must its victims suffer an
nually in spite of all they do to pre-
vent its recurrence? Those upon
whom it has laid its hold know al
most to a day when they will be
called upon to again endure its
agonies.

Because hay fever is more preva
lent in August than in any other
month, it is popularly supposed that
pollen from flowers is the cause. But
why pollen from August’s flowers
and not from those blooming from
other months of the year? To answer
that the adherents of the pollen
theory pick on the golden rod. But
hay fever claims its victims in places
where there is no golden rod- and
residents of large cities who never
are within miles of that popular wild
flower at any time often suffer the
most severely. And if uollen to the
cause of the disease why are not all
who live in the country afflicted and
all who live in the cities immune?
The writer who suggested that
physicians turn their attention to hay
fever may or may not be a suff«|er
but in any event he puts up to them
a puzzle worthy of their fullest con
sideration.* That it is not ordinarily
a fatal malady does not make th« hay
fever problem less important. The
fact that it seemingly is such a sim
ple and more or less harmless afflic
tion makes jt qeem that the answer to
the problem should
easy to dis
cover.
Seemingly of a similar
«ature to influenza, it is not so often
fatal, but it causes a great amount
of suffering each year.
The very mysteriousnesa of th«
disease should be a sufficient motive
to cause some physician to conquer
it.
