white house. in that sense, the treasury could not mandate instructions to the federal reserve. chairman thomasmccabe believed the fed's role was to restrain inflation. treasury secretary john snyder and president truman wanted the fed to help finance the war. president truman, in his memoirs, described the experience he had in 1917. he bought liberty bonds. he didn't know, and most people didn't know, that those liberty bonds, certainly the series he bought, went up and down with market prices. after the war, interest rates rose, bond prices fell, and many people had to sell bonds below what they paid for them. truman never forgot that experience. he thought the government shouldn't cheat people. truman called the federal open-market committee to the white house for a tongue-lashing. never before had a president tried so directly to influence fed policy. there was so much misunderstanding on both sides that truman ordered a commission to study the matter. rather than let a third party dictate a settlement, the fed and the treasury met on their own to find a solution, resulting in the accord of
