PREPARING A
CURRENCY PLAN
Senator AIdriCh Will Resume
His Educational Trips
Next Autumn

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. March 12-Another
missionary tour next fall i'm the inter
est of the proposed new currency sys-
tenn and the central bank is planned
by Senator Aldrich. chairman of the
National Monetary Commission.
1t is his purpose to take with him
several members of the commission
and to make an investigation of the
varying monetary needs of different
sections of the country. For instance.
the banks of San Francisco complain of
the difficulties which they experience
in getting currency, the shipment Of
which across the continent takes from
seven to ten days. At Minneapolis
and other northwestern cities there is
always at certain seasons a big de-
mand for money with which to move
the grain crops, while IN the south there
is a similar demand at other seasons to
move the cotton crop.
Senator Aldrich SAYS the purpose of
the commission Is TO plan a currency
system designed to be universal In its
application to the whole country and to
meet the varying necessities of all sec
tions. Except in a tentative fashion.
the plans of the commission are not
formulated. The commission is now
publishing a large number of books
and pamphlets covering every phase OF
the banking and currency systems OF
the world.
BY next autumn, 1t is the hope of
Senator Aldrich that sentiment of the
bankers in all sections will have be-
come crystalized upon some plan, OF
az least that they will be ready to
discuss with the commission more in
diligently and from a more practical
standpoint the many problems upon
which the commission is engaged.
