A Common Question
WHAT HAS THE Federal Rerserve System
ever done for me? That was the question a
working man asked us some days ago. He
said he considered it a good thing for the rich
man but of no value to men like himself.
“Do you remember the panic of 1907?“ we
asked.
“You bet I do,” he said. “The panic came so
quickly I could not get ready for it. Work
stopped. The hanks could not let us have
money. We were certainly up against it
good and proper.”
“That panic would never have happened,”we
told him, “if the Federal Reserve System had
been organized then. At that time each bank
had to stand alone. When danger appeared, we
simply had to protect overselves the best we
could.
“Strong banks help to make good times. The
Federal Reserve System is a benefit to every
body in America.”
