would try to overthrow the admnistra :

ALDRlcH ON cENTRAL BANK.
Former Rhode Island Senator Tells Of
Possibilities.

Boston, April -1.-The possibilities of
central bank as the bulWark of SOL
Nency and stability to lii" financial
institutions and business interests of
the country were described tonight
by Former Senator Nelson w. Aid
rich OF Rhode Island to half hun
| dre1 Boston property holders and
bankers at the annual dinner of the
Real Estate Exchange.
What the public needs" he said
lin times of threatened p&nics is the
extension of credit. 1t is the exper-
iencc in other countries that Il cen
tral institution lends its credit to
keep up confidence and stability, and
such Il plan should obtain here
He then proceeded to describe his
plan for ii central bank beginning
with all association of local hanks
each of which has a voice in it's man
agement. Such an association should
be one Of several similar associations
scattered throughout the country and
these should be members Of the CEN
trail body. Such institutions. he de-
clared, would be entirely free from
politics and the question of conduct
ing the monetary affairs OF the coun-
try would then be solved in a nom
partisan manner
The banks of the country would
then have voice in the management
of the monetary situation Such a
plan would also prevent large comr''r-
mites like New York, Boston or Chi
cago from obtaining control Neither
would there be any competition with
such plan, for banking would be
restricted to dealings with these banks
and the government.
