CURRENCY SYSTEM

AIdrich -VreeIand Act Has Only
-Four Years Before Expiration;
Central Bank Proposition Up
Again
Morning Journal Bureau,

WashIngton. D. a. Ang- 6

An Increasing sentiment for some
form Of central bank system is
found by Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury A. Platt Andrews Mr.. An
drews is assistant to the national
monetary commission and has been
called on to take AN active part in
the Investigations OF the commission,
DR.. Andrews has Just returned from
New York where he went in conncc-
ton with the formation of cur
rcncy association under the emerg-
ency currency law. DR. Andrews says
the action of the banks is merely an
effort to carry out the Intent of the
emergency currency law and had no
particular bearing on the central
bank question,
Concerning the central hank, As
sistant Secretary Andrews says the
report OF the monetary commits
sion viii be made TO congress next
session. He does not attempt to say
what the report VIII be or even that
the commission favors a central bank
lie merely points out that some of
the Individual members Of the COM
mission are for a central banking
system.
He thinks the signs or q growth
OF sentiment for the central hank are
easily discernible. For one thing,
there is a growing tendency among
financial writer's to espOusc the cause
OF the central bank Among bankers
themselves. the assistant secretary of
the treasury believes the tendency Is
TO look with more and more favor on
some form of central banking system.
All indications now are that there
viii be a great struggle over the cen
tral bank question in the first session
Of the sixty second congress II viii
not come In the next session, the com
ing winter. That session viii be hricf
and II viii be out Of the question TO
enact any comprehensive financial
measure at that time.
A year from next winter the fight
for the central hank Is expected to
come to head In the meanwhile.
there VIII he much missionary work.
Senator Aldrich, IL has been an.
nounced, is planning TO make some
speeches in the south the coming fall.
The emergency currency measure,
the Aldrlch Vreeland act has a life OF
only six years. Two years Of It's cx-
istence have gone by II has only
four years more to run. When that
time Is up the country win ,be lust
where II was before with respect to a
financial crisis, unless the Aldrich-
Vreeland act is re-enacted or unless
the currency system is in some way
overhauled. at
In the meantime, the central bank
advocates are going to buss them
selves In getting congress TO do what
they want.
BY the more intelligent advocates
of Il central bank, il Is realized that
