He alluded to the new group as
what It members "were pleased to

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. P) Pres

Reciting that the government has
made many changes In Its monetary
and credit machinery In the last few
years. Mr. Roosevelt said that "It

th. banking system what It should
be."
"We must not complacently aup
pose that we have achieved perfec

"By the banking and security ex
change acts of 1933, 1034 and 1935,
the federal reserve system was given
Increased power to Improve banking
conditions and to aid the government
In combatting practlcea which were
evil In their results.
"Those powers have been concen
trated to a greater degree than before
In a single publlo body, so that they
can be used promptly and effective
ly In accordance with the changing
needs of the country."
The president served notice tho ad
ministration plans no reversal of its
banking policies, asserting: "1937 is
not 1913, nor do we want to turn the
hands of the clock back."

creation of the reserve system In
