WASHINGTON. March aO.-Mr. Dawes.

THE chief reason for the growing de-
mand for paper money is unquestionably
the increase In the general volume of BUSH

amount of paper money which of itself
would cause scarcity. The situation in
reference to bills Is brought about by the
increased demand. and not by q decrease
in the supply.
The amount Of paper money in circula-

it was one year ago While the decrease
