ALDRICH EXPLAINS
HIS CURRENCY BILL,

Washington, Feb. 1o.-senator
Aldrich today addressed the senate
in explanation of the currency bill
which bears his name. The galleries
were well filled. A large number Of
bankers were present, including j.
Pierpont Morgan of New York, who
occupied seat in Vice President
Fairbanks row and came from New
York for the purpose.
Senator Aldrich said in closing n
long speech:
THE enactment OF the pending bill
Will furnish evidence that Congress
is not unmindful of its serious re-
sponsibilities in this regard. There
can be no reasonable doubt of the ef-
fecttveness of the measure. The
committee firmly believe that through
its enactment an atmosphere OF con-
fidence and feeling of security Will be
created which will be invaluable in
improving business conditions and In
giving a new impetus to the work Of
national development"
Characterizing the financial crisis
from which rhe country has Just
emerged which eliminated in SER
ious panic in October" as the most
acute and destructive in its immediate
consequences of any which has occur
red In the history of the country. Sem
but heroic measures taken by the
representatives Of the great business
and financial interests of the country,
acting in cooperation with the
treasury prevented a total collapse OF
private credit and n disastrous de-
struction of all values.
1T it," he added, Impossible to
conceive, much less to measure, the
losses which would have resulted
from such a calamity. The country
was saved by the narrowest possible
margin from an overwhelming ca
tastrophe whose blighting effect would
have been felt In every household. A
total collapse was avoided, but the
shrinkage In values In securities and
property and the losses from Injury
10 business resulting from and incl
dental 10 tho crisis amounted 10 thous-
ands of millions of dollars"
After reviewing the various eNped-
tents reBorted to for the relief OF the
banks, the senator said:
THE great losses which the people
OF the country suffered from the pur-
tial breakdown of our credit system
through bank suspensions and which
the abnormal increase In the volume
of money and It's substitutes legal
and illegal--failed TO avert, should
lead Congress 90 seriously consider
the question whether II was possible
to provide such n legislative remedy
as shall prevent the recurrence OF
these conditions in the future. II the
experience Of last year should be res
peated--and who can say that this Is
ble--tho methods Of relief
that were employed In 1907 VIII not
be available. certainly not to the same
extent"
