UNITED STATES TO
CONTROL THE BANK
CONTINUED from Page One.)

Objectionable provision that would
compel mutual rediscounting among
federal reserve banks and provides for
the issue Of true bank notes, instead Of
government fiat money"
After Mr.. Vanderlip had presented
his plan the committee heard Jacob 8,
Coxoy, "general" Of the "army of tho
unemployed, !" which descended on the
capital in 1893. He urged that the
government take over the entire bank
ing business, issue fiat money against
bonds for all public improvements and
generally eliminate banking operations
on which interest is charged.
The plan as detailed by Mr.. Wander
lip would allow the new bank to take
up the 2 per cent bonds, upon which
the present bank note currency is based
and to issue one-year notes at per
cent. These notes would be subject to
renewal at the option of the govern
ment for twenty years, and would be
used by the bank to buy gold abroad
when its reserves fell low, or to check
exports of gold
