Post WW1 … 24 Sep 1919. Dear Mr Perrin, I have your letter of the 16th instant, and note your view that it might be well to fix highrer rates for loans upon Government obligations than for those growing out of commerical transactions. It will not be necessary to amend the Federal Reserve Act to provide for such higher rates, as it is entirely within the power of the banks to initiate them and of the Federal Reserve Board to approve then. We have decided that it would not be advisable to make any change in rates until after Christmas, and the whole matter will come up for discussion at the conference of Federal Reserve Agents which, as I wired you yesterday, has been called for Wednesday, October 22nd. Very truely yours, Governor. Mr. John Perrin. Chairman, Federal Reserve Bank, San Fancisco, California.[3]
