Williams Charges in Interest Quiz Prompted By Testimony
Former comptroller of the currency John Skelton Williams clashed with members of the joint congressional agricultural committee as he charged that federal reserve banks exacted excessive collateral from borrowers. He said some instances saw 0 to 100 percent extra collateral. Williams pledged to produce evidence if challenged. Governor Harding and other fed board members listened as Williams recalled a 1921 protest against ruling permitting progressive interests. He cited an Alabama bank paying 81 percent yearly for two weeks, while New York banks paid far less, calling such rates indefensible. Mills pressed Williams, who admitted the Alabama rate was later cut to 12 percent.
