in an interview yesterday, said
In my judgment the next congress will pass q
financial measure. My judgment also Is that
the finance committee will take up the financial
question anew. The bill agreed upon by the re-
publican committee of the house will, no doubt
be laid before US in the nature OF suggestion
and we will consider it, as we will other plans
which represent commcndnble features. Per-
haps in the future We will meet with the gem
tlemen OF the house, but nothing definite IN
that direction has been arranged.
Have you any idea along what lines
the currency legislation will be
framed?" he was asked, To which he
replied:
do not anticipate any very radical measures
We want to maintain our standard and nj the
