Holland writes of gold imports flow to Gotham
Hollands assessment argues the Federal Reserve failed to prevent concentration of national financial resources in New York. W P G Harding predicts substantial gold imports within twelve months, mostly for war purchases. The piece argues New York's dominance may be maintained or expanded, with New York holding about 45 percent of member bank deposits and potential rediscounting power.
