Contrary to reports which have been in
circulation around the Capitol. the demo-

the banking and currency committee,
headed by Representative Carter Glass OF
Virginia. have decided that no attempt
will be made at the coming session of
Congress to introduce currency reform
legislation. Mr. Glass said that it would
be impracticable to report finished legis-

the published statement that bill had
been prepared and finished, and said that
no currency scheme has been evolved to
take the place of the Aldrich currency
plan.
