It places notes with reserves, secured by commercial paper and bank assets, allowing automatic expansion and contraction with demand. Regional banks will concentrate resources, discount member paper, and ease money flow, praised as a vast progressive achievement led by President Wilson and Democratic lawmakers. The text also notes the Gardner family gathering on New Year’s Day at Three Bridges with numerous relatives attending.
