OPPOSED TO PROPOSAL
wAHHivnTTiN. SeDt 7. With war
looming abroad, the president must
soon take time off to make peace In
his own official family Federal agen
cies, no less than European notions,
have their prides, their thirsts for
power, their mutual hatreds. And at
the moment, a furlouB conflict
threatens among the fiscal powers
of the government.
Chairman Marrlner Ecclcs of the
federal reserve board Is preparing a
raid on hi competitors In the bank
ing field. A big bee In the Eccles
bonnet Is the theory that bank
credit, carefully managed to make It
..-,. tn hnnm tlmeB and easy In
depressions, can be used as a buslnesW
stabilizer. For mis reatjuu. u uce.,
to concentrate virtually all control
over bank examination In the hands
of his board.
Ecclea wastes no love on Chalrman
Leo Crowley of the Federal Deposit
Insurance corporation, or on Secre
tary of the Treasury Henry Morgen
thau, Jr., to whom tho comptroller
of the currency pays allegiance. Mor
genthau's enthusiasm for Eccles Is
distinctly pallid, and Crowley regards
Bccles with mingled fear and distaste.
The consequences of the Eccles raid
on Crowley's agency and the comp
troller of the currency's office may
well be Imagined, therefore.
Last spring. Eccles made his first
aggression. Morgenthau and Crowley
... v,im head on. like angry but-
falos. Eventually a compromise was
reached, iy which the Eccles' easy
credit policies were partially adopted
by the competing agencies, without
any transfers of power to the reserve
board. Now Ecclcs Is understood to
want the power too.
In more detail, the Eccles theory
la that the rules of the bank exam
iners tie bank credit to the stock
market, so that when the stock mar
ket falls, contracting bank credit
exaggerates the business decline.
There is. actually, a good deal to
the notion. When tecurltles lose
value, bank loans lose liquidity. Busi
ness la pressed for more collateral.
The banks are reluctant to make
more loans. Thus credit contract
