new RESOLUTION
FOR MONEY TRUST
Lindbergh Would Broaden
Scope of Probe.

A money trust'' resolution more
sweeping II its terms tnan the one he
previously introduced. was presented in
Charles A. Llndbergh, OF Minnesota. The
revised resolution specifically calls for an
inquiry into the Rockefeller and other
banks in New York. ana proposes 10
bring within the scope Of the inquiry the
combine as well as the so-called money
trust" It calls for a probe OF the affairs
OF life Insurance and railroad companies,
and seeks information as to the Identity
OF those who control credits and the
money supply" In a statement made
public in connection with his resolution
Representative Lindbergh objects to an In
quiry to be conducted jointly by the SEN
ate and the House. ''I' have the utmost
confidence in the good raith OF the MEM
hership Of the House to make an i'm
partial Investigation" said Mr.. Lind
sergh.
The revised Lindbergh resolution con-
tains a lot OF new matter. For example,
Mr.. Lindbergh takes a shot at the Aid
rich plan for banking and currency re-
form. The resolution recites that 1T IS
common knowledge that the larger and
more important national banking insti-
tutions In New York and Chicago are
owned and directed by those who are
also IN control OF the larger and more
important important Insurance and trust
companies and Industrial and railroad
corporations OF the country" II further
recites that frequent fluctuations in the
price OF stocks in the past have brought
great loss TO the general public and that
the directors OF national banks have
pronted by such fluctuations
The committee that Mr.. Lindbergh
wants to create Is directed ito ascer-
tain the lwnership Of stock and the
principal control OF the banks and trust
companies eligible under the latest pro-
posal OF the so-called .Aldrich plan, and
as the same shall hnally be submitted
to the National Monetary Commission
