NEW YORK VIEWS AS TO RESUMPTION
The House banking committee yesterday

Winder, of New York as to the permanency
of resumption. Mr.. Colgate said, although re-
sumption might, owing to present favorable
circumstances, take place January lSt, it could
not be permanent until the greenbacks are re-
tired. He also believed that there should be
gradual withdrawal of all bank and govern
ment issues, except the paper based alone on
gold and silver. The only safety was to have
dollar for dollar. Mr.. Winder was of opinion
that convertible money was a curse, and that
resumption was utterly impossible so long as
this is q debtor country.
