Figure 1: The definition of “creature” in a vintage dictionary.

This figure, titled “The definition of “creature” in a vintage dictionary,” has excerpts from a 1936 dictionary entry on the word “create.” The entry indicates that the word “creature” does not receive a separate entry in the dictionary. Instead, reflecting the status of the word “creature” at this stage in English usage, the word “creature” is simply treated by the dictionary as a derivative of the word “create.” Specifically, the noun “creature” is given within this entry on “create” as “anything created, especially a living being; one dependent on the influence of another.”
Figure 2: The March 1951 Accord, as paraphrased in Sproul
(1964)
This figure, titled “The March 1951 Accord, as paraphrased in Sproul (1964),” reproduces the text of the 1964 article by Allan Sproul that provided a detailed paraphrase of the text of the 1951 Federal Reserve-Treasury Accord. The text reads: “1. Purpose—to reduce to a minimum the creation of bank reserves through monetization of the public debt, while assuring the financing of the Government's needs. “2. A conversion offering by the Treasury which would be designed to remove a substantial amount of the long-term restricted 2½ per cent bonds from the market. “3. Support of the market for the outstanding restricted 2½ per cent bonds by the Federal Open Market Committee at par or slightly above for a limited amount and only during the brief period of the conversion offering. “4. With the exception of this support, the maintenance of orderly market conditions, hereafter, to be without reference to the maintenance of the par value of any Treasury issues. “5. Reduction or discontinuance of purchases of short-term Government securities by the System Open Market Account, so as to permit yields on such securities to fluctuate around the discount rate (1¾ per cent) and thus to make that rate effective, with the understanding that it would not be changed during the remainder of the year, except in compelling circumstances. “6. Prior consultation between the Treasury and Federal Reserve on changes in debt management or credit policy, unless extraordinary circumstances made such prior consultation impossible. “7. The public statement of agreement to be brief, financial and nonpolitical.”
