Understanding state guarantees and Federal Reserve lending
States largely failed to pay depositors during the 1932 33 banking crisis due to funds limits. Banks are checked by inspecting loans for sound promissory notes and mortgages, with value stability as a factor. The FDIC, created by the 1933 Banking Act, insures deposits in sound non member banks. The Fed lends by discounting or rediscounting notes and mortgages, exchanging federal reserve notes for time bound promissory obligations, with repayment after borrowers pay. When leaving town, call 22 to have the Journal World mailed to summer address.
