Washington D. C., Nov, 7.--Pres,-
dent Roosevelt has returned to Wash

his attention to the financial situation.
He will recommend in general terms

The presidents recommendation to
congress, as he explained to several
callers today, will follow the general
line of that which he sent in last year
At that time President Roosevelt ad-
vised plan for emergency notes for
mulated by Secretary Shaw, which
differed only in minor details from
the suggestion Of the American Bank
ers' association. ,
Believes Shaw's PIan is Best.
On this subject President Roosevelt
said:
81 do not press any especial plans.
Various plans have recently been pro.
posed by expert committees of bank
ers. Among the plans which are pos
sibly feasible. and which certainly
should receive your consideration, Is
| that repeatedly brought to your at
tention by the present secretary ot
the treasury, the essential features o.
which have been approved by man,
| prominent bankers and business men
According to this plan, national bank:
should be permitted to issue speci
fed proportion of their capital ii
notes of given kind, the issue to b;
taxed at SO high a rate as to drive thu
notes back when not wanted in legiti
mate trade. This plan would not per
nit an issue of currency to give banks
additional profit, but to meet an,
emergency presented by times o
stringency.''
| In repeating this suggestion thi
! year President Roosevelt will give t
congress basis upon which to worl
in the direction Of currency reform
He will not permit himself to be lie,
