Did Doubling Reserve Requirements Cause the Recession of 1937-1938? A Microeconomic Approach Charles W. Calomiris, Joseph Mason, and David Wheelock NBER Working Paper No. 16688 January 2011 JEL No. E51,E58,G21,G28,N12,N22 ABSTRACT In 1936-37, the Federal Reserve doubled the reserve requirements imposed on member banks. Ever since, the question of whether the doubling of reserve requirements increased reserve demand and produced a contraction of money and credit, and thereby helped to cause the recession of 1937-1938, has been a matter of controversy. Using microeconomic data to gauge the fundamental reserve demands of Fed member banks, we find that despite being doubled, reserve requirements were not binding on bank reserve demand in 1936 and 1937, and therefore could not have produced a significant contraction in the money multiplier.

    Sit-Down Strike: the 1939 Alexandria Library Sit-In

    Lesson Plans: Teaching with Historic Places in Alexandria, Virginia America's First Sit-Down Strike: The 1939 Alexandria Library Sit-In America's First Sit-Down Strike: The 1939 Alexandria Library Sit-In Introduction Becoming the trademark tactic of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, the first sit-in occurred well before the era of social unrest that would characterize the decade of the 1960s. Prior to the famous Woolworth counter siti -in in Greensboro, North Carolina, five courageous African-Amerrican youths staged the firsst deliberate and planned sit-in at the Alexandria “public” Library in 1939. Located on the site of a Quaker burial ground, on a half-acre of land, the construction of Alexandria’s first public and “free” library was completed in 1937. Prior to 1937, the Alexandria Library Company operated a subscription service throughout various locations in the city. The Alexandria Library (also known as the Queen Street Library) would later become known as the Kate Waller Barret Branch Library after the mother of the benefactor of construction funds for the building. Located in the center of Alexandria’s African-American community, the Robbert Robinson Library was completed in 1940 to serve as the colored branch of the Alexandria Library in response to the 1939 sit- in. The era of legalized segregated public accommodations had been ushered in by the 1896 landmark case of Plessy vs. Ferguson, which stipulated that “separate but equal” accommodations were constitutional under the law. Thereafter, the Jim Crow system of segregation dictated the daily lives of African-Ammericans whereby the facilities they encountered were indeed separate, but substantially inadequate to ever be characterized as equal.

    An X-Ray of Chilean Right-Wing Attitudes Toward Jews, 1932–1940

    chapter 3 Indifference, Hostility, and Pragmatism: an X-Ray of Chilean Right-Wing Attitudes toward Jews, 1932–1940 Gustavo Guzmán 1 Introduction Convened to discuss the issue of Jewish refugees, the Évian Conference (July 1938) raised two main positions in Chilean politics. While leftists and centrists sympathized with Jews, asking President Alessandri to increase their immigration quotas, rightists remained indifferent to the Jewish plight, reject- ing any attempt to expand their numbers. A leading voice in this regard was Conservative senator Maximiano Errázuriz Valdés, according to whom Chile did not need traders or intermediaries but farmers. “Sadly,” he said, “Jews are not farmers but traders who will come to compete [with our businessmen] and become intermediaries.” Additionally, echoing a discourse that was com- mon at the time in other countries as well, their religion made them “elements difficult to assimilate” and likely “to create a hitherto unknown ethnic prob- lem.” Indeed, the ultimate responsibility for Jew-hatred, he stressed, lay with “the Jews themselves,” as “they create problems where previously they did not exist.” Consequently, Errázuriz Valdés asked the government “to restrict as much as possible the arrival of Jews and not to increase their quotas.”1 Similarly, after Kristallnacht (November 1938), while the leftist and centrist press largely condemned the pogrom, speaking of “barbarism” and “savagery,”2 influential right-wing media such as El Mercurio and El Diario Ilustrado embraced a less sympathetic approach. Although it might be “painful from a human point of view,” El Mercurio stressed, “the reasons that led the German government to expel members of the Jewish race are not for Chileans to dis- cuss because they belong to the right of every nation to govern itself.”3 El Diario 1 Senado de Chile, Boletín de sesiones ordinarias 1938, vol.

Note this excerpt, seldom surpassed in beauty of thought and diction, from his address to Governor Stevens: Why should I mourn at the untimely fate of my people? Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. It is the order of nature and regret is useless. Your time of decay may be distant — but it will surely come, for even the White Man whose God walked and talked with him as friend with friend cannot be exempt from the common destiny. We may be brothers after all. Let the White Man be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. Dead — I say? There is no death. Only a change of worlds.
