The Federal Reserve Our Financial Safety-Valve Fortunately the Federal Reserve System came into existence . before — the outbreak of the European war and (yuvided the means by which all of the luinks of the Country are ublle to pool their strength, so that, in effect, the united strength of the bank- in' the country is back of the system. The system provides machinery by which Ihb individual luinks may shift their limited assets ami liabilities to a Wong Reserve Bank -v which, in addition to it* other functions, has the power to issue lawful money. • Restrictions on Note-Issuing Power / This power of the lianks to issuereserve notes is carefully? restricted by law, and such currency cannot be put jnto circulation untaov. it is amply secured by a gold reserve and by prime commercial paper' arising from actual transactions. That is, it protects the United States from any fiat money scheme, which means the attempted manufacture of money by means of a printing press. The stability of America's banking sj-drm today as compared with^ most of the European countries is due » --tniim fuct that an adequate reserve of gold and prime commercial paper * -taiils behind every dollar of currency in circulation, while in Europe rocdi.t devices for providing governments with money havtyonly r. suited in Vuch serious depreciation of their currencies that the ends attempted have fleen defeated. -But the Lederal Reserve Banks were never Intended to make easy* a great expansion of credit, such as wc had in this country .luring the V ' recent war- period. The primary purpose of the system is to make pos- , sihle the substitution in an easy -and sound manner of ope. kind of credit by replacing it with nnothcr just a* sound. It does this by replacing the sound credit obligations of small, local banks' with the note obligation A of a strong Reserve Bank having tho hacking of the national government. in fact, the reserve notes which are issued by the Federal Reserve ' Banks are actually obligations of the United States Government. . c FIRST NATIONAL BANK OCEAN CITY, N.
