SECTION 37. That the board of directors of the American Reserve

Bank shall define from time to time the nature and character of the

promissory notes, checks, drafts, and bills of exchange that may be

purchased by the respective zones and the length of time they may have

to run: _Provided, however_, That every piece of paper purchased by any

commercial zone shall bear the unqualified indorsement of some national

bank in its zone.

COMMENT:--It would be unwise to fix now arbitrarily by statute just

what kind of paper the banks of every zone should buy. This ought to

be left to the board of the American Reserve Bank. They will meet it

wisely as it arises.
