Question and extravaganza in private

business difficulties. The day had
passed when the volume of money

Improved facilities for transportation
ana methods ofexchanging had lessened
the Importance of large volume. Inn
proved credit was more important. The
first essential in this country was the
stability of public credit.
The current redemption of the de-
mand obligations of the government, he
said, was the chief problem of the treas

these obligations so that maintenance
OF gold reserve would be no longer
necessary was the most desirable pol
icy; whether it was the most practical
one was question. Mr.. Eckels added:
~ business man who constantly re-
