FAvORS CREDIT
CURRENCY PLAN

Washington, Dec. 15.-william ID. Ridge
ly, comptroller OF the currency, advo-
Gated before the house committee on
banking and currency today the proposed
credit currency plan. There was. he said.
no question regarding the necessity OF
some measure OF relief. He believed
graduated tax should be placed on the
credit notes, which would create an am
pie reserve for their redemption. This. he
thought. was a much surer method than
no reserves. Mr.. Ridgely strongly favored
having the government guarantee such
credit currency. No risk would be invol-
we'd in this as he said the five per cent
guarantee fund would make the govern
ment safe against possible loss. He did
not regard the proposed plan as necessa-
rily expensive 10 the government.
The proposed 21a per cent tax, he said.
would create fund OF some $2,50O,oo 10
s5,ooo,00O a year. which would meet all
expenses and create reserve fund. Re
demption agencies, he said. would neces-
sarily have TO be established In many
cities. but their maintenance would be
comparatively light expense.
Mr.. Ridgeley favored increasing the
present SO. 600 monthly limit on the re-
tirement OF National bank circulation OF
s12. 900 900 or $4,000. 900 and giving the Sec
retary OF the treasury discretionary pow
er To modify or suspend the limit 10 meet
any arising conditions.
This limit was fixed, he said. when the
circulation OF the country was something
like one hundred and eighty million dol
lars. 1t is now more than FIVE hundred
millions.
An important stipulation regarding the
credit notes. Mr. Ridgley said. would be
provision allowing state and private
hanks and trust companies credit on sub
treasures for credit notes returned by
them. This would prevent the accunua-
ton OF such notes In the vaults OF this
class of banks and consequent hardship on
rational banks issuing and consequently
unable to retire its credit notes.

The RUSSIAN foreign Office has been

by this as by Japana hrmnoss. Tho
result is that the idea has been created
at the Russian foreign office that
Japan might make her ambitions the
occasion for renewal OF the war with
Russia.
which the Russian foreign minister
NJ. Iswolsky had with the government
