    X-6737 TUB DISCOUNT RATE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD and THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK -1- November [1st approx., 1930. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in its Annual Report for the year 1929, stated: "For a number of weeks from February to May, 1929, the Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York voted an increase in the discount rate from 5% to 6%. This increase was not approved by the Board." Annual Report, Page 6. ~2~ The above statement makes clear the error of the prevailing view that the discount rate controversy lasted from February 14, 1929, - the date of the first application for increase in discount rates, - to August 9, 1929, the date of the Board's approval of the increase from 5% to 6%. The controversy began on February 14, 1929, but practically ended on May 31, 1929. On May 22, 1929, Governor Harrison and Chairman McGarrah told the Board that while they still desired an increase to 6%, they found that the member banks, under direct pressure, feared to increase their borrowings, and that they wanted to encourage them to borrow to meet the growing demand for commercial loans. 16 Diary 76 (69). Furthermore, on May 31, 1929, Chairman McGarrah wrote to the Federal Reserve Board that the control of credit without increasing discount rates Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis X-6737 - 2 - (direct pressure) had created uncertainty; that agreement upon a program to remove uncertainty was far more important than the discount rate; that in view of recent changes in the business and credit situation., his directors believed that a rate change now without a mutually satis- factory program, might only aggravate existing tendencies; that it may soon be necessary to establish a less restricted discount policy in order that the member banks may more freely borrow for the proper conduct of their business:; that the Federal reserve bank should be prepared to increase its portfolio if and when any real need of doing so becomes apparent.

  • The Titan's Curse
    THE TITAN'S CURSE Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book - 3 Rick Riordan ONE MY RESCUE OPERATION GOES VERY WRONG The Friday before winter break, my mom packed me an overnight bag and a few deadly weapons and took me to a new boarding school. We picked up my friends Annabeth and Thalia on the way. It was an eight-hour drive from New York to Bar Harbor, Maine. Sleet and snow pounded the highway. Annabeth, Thalia, and I hadn't seen each other in months, but between the blizzard and the thought of what we were about to do, we were too nervous to talk much. Except for my mom. She talks more when she's nervous. By the time we finally got to Westover Hall, it was getting dark, and she'd told Annabeth and Thalia every embarrassing baby story there was to tell about me. Thalia wiped the fog off the car window and peered outside. "Oh, yeah. This'll be fun." Westover Hall looked like an evil knight's castle. It was all black stone, with towers and slit windows and a big set of wooden double doors. It stood on a snowy cliff overlooking this big frosty forest on one side and the gray churning ocean on the other. "Are you sure you don't want me to wait?" my mother asked. "No, thanks, Mom," I said. "I don't know how long it will take. We'll be okay." "But how will you get back? I'm worried, Percy." I hoped I wasn't blushing.

  • Mythology, Greek, Roman Allusions
    Advanced Placement Tool Box Mythological Allusions –Classical (Greek), Roman, Norse – a short reference • Achilles –the greatest warrior on the Greek side in the Trojan war whose mother tried to make immortal when as an infant she bathed him in magical river, but the heel by which she held him remained vulnerable. • Adonis –an extremely beautiful boy who was loved by Aphrodite, the goddess of love. By extension, an “Adonis” is any handsome young man. • Aeneas –a famous warrior, a leader in the Trojan War on the Trojan side; hero of the Aeneid by Virgil. Because he carried his elderly father out of the ruined city of Troy on his back, Aeneas represents filial devotion and duty. The doomed love of Aeneas and Dido has been a source for artistic creation since ancient times. • Aeolus –god of the winds, ruler of a floating island, who extends hospitality to Odysseus on his long trip home • Agamemnon –The king who led the Greeks against Troy. To gain favorable wind for the Greek sailing fleet to Troy, he sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia to the goddess Artemis, and so came under a curse. After he returned home victorious, he was murdered by his wife Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus. • Ajax –a Greek warrior in the Trojan War who is described as being of colossal stature, second only to Achilles in courage and strength. He was however slow witted and excessively proud. • Amazons –a nation of warrior women. The Amazons burned off their right breasts so that they could use a bow and arrow more efficiently in war.

  • Greek God Pantheon.Pdf
    Zeus Cronos, father of the gods, who gave his name to time, married his sister Rhea, goddess of earth. Now, Cronos had become king of the gods by killing his father Oranos, the First One, and the dying Oranos had prophesied, saying, “You murder me now, and steal my throne — but one of your own Sons twill dethrone you, for crime begets crime.” So Cronos was very careful. One by one, he swallowed his children as they were born; First, three daughters Hestia, Demeter, and Hera; then two sons — Hades and Poseidon. One by one, he swallowed them all. Rhea was furious. She was determined that he should not eat her next child who she felt sure would he a son. When her time came, she crept down the slope of Olympus to a dark place to have her baby. It was a son, and she named him Zeus. She hung a golden cradle from the branches of an olive tree, and put him to sleep there. Then she went back to the top of the mountain. She took a rock and wrapped it in swaddling clothes and held it to her breast, humming a lullaby. Cronos came snorting and bellowing out of his great bed, snatched the bundle from her, and swallowed it, clothes and all. Rhea stole down the mountainside to the swinging golden cradle, and took her son down into the fields. She gave him to a shepherd family to raise, promising that their sheep would never be eaten by wolves. Here Zeus grew to be a beautiful young boy, and Cronos, his father, knew nothing about him.
