Glass Drafts Bill To Provide Federal Loans For Industries
Senator Glass drafts a bill to let the Federal Reserve make direct five year loans to industry, replacing Roosevelt and RLPLC proposals with a plan to extend direct government credit. The measure, discussed after talks with President Roosevelt, would have the Fed banks lend from reserve funds rather than the treasury, aligning with the Banking Committee’s aim amid opposition to a new 12 credit bank system. The plan seeks to channel support through Fed banks under existing terms.
