OTHER NATIONS HAVE GOOD
SYSTEMS OF THIS KIND
Until r, lief Comes Situation Must Be Met
By Clearing House Certificates--B
lin dominated BY New York

New York Nov. 3.-That permanen
relief from the monetary stringenc,
can only be had through credit cur
rency releemable in gold COIN was
the opinion expressed today by Repre-
sentative Chas. Fowler, of New Jer
sey, chairman of the banking and eur
rency committee. which will, at tht
coming session of congress, endeavol
to have law passed providing foi
credit currency issued by national
banks
Until such permanent relief is
made possible, Fowler asserts, the
situation must be met by clearing
house certificates, cashiers checks
and due bills.
Underlying business conditions,
he.veaid, "are essentially sound as
evidenced by the Increased earnings
OF the railroads and the fact that the
value Of our agricultural products this
year is $500, 100000 more than last,
the highest in our history, the pro.
duets bringing to our people about
$1,000, 100000
"The cause of the currency strin-
gency is that there are scattered
broadcast throughout the country, at
mints, in wheat, corn aud cotton
fields, In the pockets of the people, or
locked up, about $1,000, 0,o00,000 of re-
serve money, most OF which should
be in the banks.
"We have proceeded far enough in-
to the present crisis to get a pretty
clear perspective of the real situation.
First-The condition is now general,
reaching to every corner of the coun-
try.
"Second--If the gold certificates,
United States notes, silver certificates
or reserve money, which the banks OF
the country have sent into the four
corners of the republic were in the
banks, where they properly belong,
there would have been no panic this
fall
Proof of this assertion Is conclu
