"It is evident that the public at this
time ia more thaa ver before looking
to the Federal Beserve batk of Atlanta
to inane th agricultural aad com

rWhile the Federal Beserv bank of
Atlanta has beea able to take care of
th aituatioa by- extending credit e
eommodatioa to its member banks, aad
through those bank indirectly aiding
non-member institutions, it must . be
remembered that, indirect aid has Its
limitations. How taueh better would
w be able to cops with the problem
confronting as if th non-member stat
banks had mobilised their reserve de

to maip tain, with thoa of th 450 mem

burden. Thar ar approximately 1,800

The second is that they axe aot will-
