He confessed that although on leaving AAA for the Federal Reserve Board he thought he was "sailing from a storm-tossed sea into a comparatively smooth and protected harbor." now, after a year, he was not so sure. Said he: "If another crisis finds the American banking system disorganized and ineffective, the American citizenry . . . may . . . seize a short cut. . . .
