ALDRICH ATTACKS
THE CURRENCY BILL
BEFORE CONFERENCE.
Measure Unsound, Social
istic and Revolutionary,
Says Former Senator
in Speech

New York. October 15.-Former Sem
ator Nelson w Aldrich of Rhode
Island tonight attacked the Wilson ad-
ministration currency bill now before
Congress, which he declared embodies
the theories of William ], Bryan He
denounced the. bill as unsound, social
istic and revolutionary characterizing
it as an endeavor to secure by partisan
legislation the triumph of the doctrines
and principles which had received the
repeated condemnation of the Amer
lean people at the polls. He quoted
from Woodrow Wilson's writing to in
dicate that the President in his earlier
days had entertained beliefs contrary
to provisions of the bill.
IF the House bill should be enacted
into a law Mr. Aldrich asserted, "Mr.
Bryan will have achieved the purpose
for which he has been contending for
decade"
Opposes Many Features
Mr. Aldrich's speech was delivered at
the closing session of the national con-
no reference to the so-called Aldrich
plan for currency reform. lie opposed
many features of the Glass Owen cur
rency bill, but directed his strongest
criticism at the provision dealing with
the issue of government notes and pro-
viding for a central government board
with supervision over the system as a
whole.
"The proposals with reference to note
issues said Mr.. Aldrich. "are radical
and revolutionary in their character,
and at variance with all the accepted
canons of economic law.
II believe it will be found that there
is no substantial limitation upon the
amount of notes that can be issued un-
der the House bill except in require
ments for reserve
Pressure Brought to Rear
Mr.. Aldrich said 'extreme pressure
was being brought to bear on Congress
to enact the administration bin and
that the reason given was that the
adoption of the bill was necessary to
fulfill promises made by the demo-
cratic party. He traced the history OF
the democratic party's. attitude on the
subject in earlier years and quoted
President Cleveland saving that
.'the people of the United States are
entitled to sound and stable cur
rency" 81 =
"The theory that the United States
should issue currency in the form OF
its promises to pay" declared Mr. AL
.drich, lis a populistic doctrine. 1t Had
no standing as a democratic party

Bryan into the party platform,i in spite

Consider New Attitude
Both President Wilson and Secretary
BRYAN are turning over in their minds
+ the possihilitg o. more stsgressfva
course of action by the United states
Three methods of dealing with the sit
uation are being suggested as open to
the Washington government:
First. there is the ever-recurrent sug-
gestion in official circles Of a military
and naval demonstration. which would
serve as a precautionary move in case
a forcble policy is later required For
the present however the President and
his advisers are concentrating ON a con-
structive solution by the use Of peace
ful measures.
Second, many officials think series
of strong demands made upon the au-
thorities at Mexico City to force the im-
mediate elimination Of General Huerta
would complete the record Of the United
states In attempting to assist "as the
nearest neighbor in solving the diff
cuties of the southern republic 1t has
been suggested by some officials that
should such demands be ignored. the
American government would be justified
in throwing its support to the eonstitu-
tionalists in the north.
Terminate Relations
Third, the United States could formally
announce its absolute termination OF re-
lations with the Huerta officials. eav-
ing it TO the influence both of the con-
stitutionalists movement and various lib
eral elements in Mexico city to secure
the elimina ton of Huerta and the estab-
lishment Of a provisional government
with which che constitntionaists would
negotiate for peace and arrange a free
election in compliance with Mexican
law.
Secretary Bryan left here tonight for
Waterloo, Ia, and before his departure
told callers be did not expect the Amer
lean government to take any further
steps for a few days at least.
The dispatch OF an additional German
warship TO Mexican waters did not bring
forth any comment as the Washington
administration looks upon such action as
well as upon the conference OF the diplo-
mats in Mexico City today as the begin
ming of series of manifestations BY the
governments of the world generally that
may have a SOLDERING effect on Huerta.
