Secretary McVeagh Recommends
Associations Under Aldrich-

Dublin, N. H, July ia statement
favoring the formation OF currency

I per cont. additional for each sue
ceeding month up to ten; or by the
organization of ten or more national
banks having capital of 100000.
the secretary said:
ut has been my feeling for some
time back that the first impulse Of
the passage OF the Aldrich-y reeland
bill was the correct one. That I'M
pulse was to form at once the IA
tional currency associations provided
for in the act. The. effect was to,
interpret the authorizations Of the
Aldrich- Vreeland act as something
that should not await an emergency.
but should be adopted when the finan-
cial atmosphere was perfectly clear"
The secretary states that while that
impulse was general toward the for
nation OF national currency assocla-
tions, it. however, resultedsin the for
nation Of only one such association,
that in washington, D. 9, The secre-
tary explains that one of theyreasons
why this movement halted was that

ties in the law, one OF which was

should be revived" continues Secre-
tary Macveagh. while I am very
hopeful OF an ultimate and not too
long deferred reform OF our banking
and currency system. that reform Is
not as imminent as we hoped 1t would
be at this time. I have thought,
therefore, that the intention Of the
bill should be car
ried out. and that Its powers should
be organized for the interval before
the passage Of a bill permanently re-
forming tho banking and currency
system. 1 have felt that this is a
favorable time.
II therefore recommended some time
ago the formation of these associations
to some OF the national bankers, In
Guiding committee of the American
Bankers Association, who came to
Washington to confer as to other treas
ury matters My own view of the ma
tional associations Is that they should
be formed in such a time as this. when
no one contempiates any financial con-
ditions which would require the use OF
their powers. Personally, I do not ex-
pect that any rational currency asso-
Citations will ever. within the life of
the law, have to avail itself of it's
powers with respect to the issue IF
currency. Indeed, think that the
very formation and existence OF these
associations would strongly tend per-
haps effectually and finally. to prevent
the need Of the exercise OF their pow
ers. I therefore minimize the uses of
these associations in emergencies and
magnify the importance of their Infiu-
ence in preventing emergencies. They
are associated in my mind with times
OF financial peace and quiet, rather than
with times Of confusion and convul-
sion"
