  • Industrialist William C. Durant addressed telegrams to 100 leading executives asking them if they agreed with the suggestion of the Federal Reserve Board that market prices of the securities of their companies were artificially high. "At a time when banking reserves of the country are in no way threatened, the Federal Reserve Board, by questioning the right of banks to loan on stock market collateral, is giving the public the impression that our best securities are selling above their market value", Durant wrote in the telegram. "It is my belief that the attitude of the Board, the method of handling and the thoughtless character of the publicity are most harmful to our business interests and threatening the prosperity of the country."[1]
