In his plan for currency reform sub

mission, James J. Hin. chairman Of
the board of directors of the Great
Northern railroad, addressing the IlH-
nois Bankers Association here today,
urged the bankers of the country to
perfect a plan that would be under
their own control.
Mr.. Hill. admitting at the outset
that the United States has the most
inelastic currency system in the civil
lied world" declared that Mr. Aldrich
and his associates had done "A momor-
able work that should be received
with great respect" but that also
should BE studied with great care"
The political connection is inherent
IN the constitution of the proposed Re
serve Association was Mr.. Hills chief
criticism of the Aldrich plan. In this
connection Mr.. Hill asserted that If
currency reform was not carried
through under leadership of bankers OF
the country. it would be taken up by
congress and suffer the same fate that
has befallen every other great econ
omic issue after it became the foot
ball OF party politics.
Mr. Hin also made plea for agri-
cultural reform, declaring that unless
this is done the farm will fail and
the foundation of all our prosperity be
undermined"
