supported in time of stress by the cur-rency existing or treatable by the FederalReserve mechanism, and to this extentconfirms the views held by Senator Thom-as .

In the long range planning that mustfollow these emergency measures, itwould seem that the following must betaken into consideration :

(1) Return to the higher reserve ratiosprevailing prior to the Federal ReserveSystem, in order to restrain the specula-tive credit excesses such as that throughwhich we have passed, and to prevent arecurrence of deposit currency inflation.

(2) Since assets other than cash arewasting assets ; i .e . subject to loss, the"cushion" of bank capital should bestrengthened by minimum capital re-quiremcnts in relation to deposits . Banksmay be closed through inability suddenlyto convert sound assets into cash, butbanks become insolvent through wastingassets until there is no margin of reservebehind deposits . It is in this latter classof cases that the immense losses to de-positors have occurred .

(3) Unification of state and nationalbanks under a single system . There can

be no effective credit control under 49separate banking systems.

(4) Modification of Federal Reservetheory to permit wide discretion to Fed-eral Reserve banks in the kind of paperthey may discount, in order that the fullpower of the system may be thrown be-hind solvent institutions . At the sametime give them greater discretionary poweras to the amount of discounting they shalldo for member banks. This would enablethe System to exercise a closer control overthe use of credit by preventing banks incommercial centers from overextendingmerely because they possessed large quan-tities of the narrow classification of paperat present eligible, and allow banks inother communities to receive Federal Re-serve aid when needed .

(5) Fuller bank statements, at least asfull as are now obtainable from Canadianbanks, should be required . Secrecy breedsdistrust and encourages lax banking; com-plete frankness engenders confidence .While it is impossible to give a completepicture of a bank's condition in a state-ment, yet statements can be drawn thatwill give to the intelligent person a fairlyrepresentative picture .

longer go to bed at sundown, for elec-tric light has conquered darkness . Theautomobile, railroad, steamship, and air-plane have removed the bonds whichformerly shackled us to one small partof the earth's surface. Scientific agri-culture produces a surplus of food andthus releases a part of our population forother pursuits than the food quest whichabsorbs so great a proportion of the timeof primitive people . There is every rea-son to suppose that our control over ourphysical environment will be greatly ex-tended in the future ; new machines andtechnological processes will still more in-crease the complexity of our material ex-istence.

April

On the first of this year PresidentHoover's research committee on socialtrends published its findings . Reducedto a few words this 1,600 page reportpresented a tremendous array of factualevidence to show that the non-materialaspects of culture are lagging far behindits material and technological phases .Mechanically, our civilization has de-veloped at an extremely rapid rate but inmatters of government, law, social or-ganization and the like it is probablynot too much to say that they are ahundred years behind . In other words,these two major aspects of culture, thephysical and the social, are getting outof gear . No culture can survive unlessit is integrated and the increasing lackof such integration in our own cultureis a matter of the gravest consequence.At present there is a new word run-

ning up and down the land inspiring end-less discussion . Technocracy is widelytouted as a cure for all the ills whichbeset our civilization but its most con-crete suggestions seem merely a meansto further increase the efficiency of in-dustry and thus aggravate existing dis-harmony in the culture pattern. It isa belated recognition by engineers andother technologists of facts that havelong been known to the social scientists .The hope for the future lies not in theengineer suddenly grown conscious ofthe social consequences of extreme mech-anization but in the social sciences .Man is becoming conscious of his ownculture as an entity and is beginning tostudy this strange creation of his whichshapes and molds its own creator . Phy-sical science in the modern sense is fivehundred years old; the social sciences arestill in their swaddling clothes . It maybe that just as the former have enable(!its to exercise an increasing control overour physical environment, so the de-velopment of the latter may furnish thekey to control of our cultural environ-ment . Anthropology is basic and funda-mental to the other social sciences andits methods and viewpoint have alreadyaffected them . Within the past two dec-ades history and sociology have beenprofoundly influenced by anthropologyand there seems little doubt but that thisinfluence will extend still further. Atany rate, it is only by the objective studyof culture that we can hope to under-stand its complexities . For this reasonthe social sciences are becoming moreand more important as the vital natureof their potentialities is more widely re-alized . With knowledge of how changescome about may also come a knowledgeof control and the discovery of methodsand principles of integrating the variousphases of culture into a harmonious pat-tern . When that day comes man willno longer live in fear that his creationmay enslave and destroy him for he him-self will direct his own social destiny.
