SENATORS DECLARE AGAINST

to the plan:
II am In entire sympathy with Sen
ator Aldrich in that / do not favor the
establishment Of Central bank.
II have followed to some extent the
work of the monetary commission,
though its extended publications, and
have faith In the ultimate recon-
mendations OF that body. | believe
Senator Aldrich's statement, which Is
concise and to the point, to carry some
very important suggestions as to the
mands.
I'm view of the present extent Of our
national banking system, whatever
plan Is evolved must be worked out
without the destruction OF that sys-
tenn, and in my opinion, 1t will be a
radual change
Henry H. Sanger, cashier OF the
National Bank Of Commerce, In dis
GUESSING the plan said that he could not
see where Il differed except in name
from the central bank, which has been
talked OF for some time.
1T will perform practically the
same functions planned for the Gen.
trail bank, he said, even though IL
is called an association. II is an ex-
tension of the Aldrich-Vreeland plan
for local bank associations, for the
purpose OF issuing emergency cur
rency. The widening of the scope of
activity Of the national banks is an
important feature"

as to the need for a central banking
power. with a board of governors who
can take the same broad view OF the
financial situation In this country that
the governors Of the Bank OF England
can take OF the financial situation of
