Treasury's Emergency Currency
Fund Announced to Silence
Attacks by Banks.

WASHINGTON. June 12,-The real
reason for the statement Issued by
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
last night, in which he declared
S50OOO00O0 could be distributed
throughout the country to prevent a
panic. is that certain New York
banks are trying to discredit the
financial reform measures of the ad-
ministration. The information came
to-day from source near to the
secretary.
The direct announcement was made
to-day from the Secretary of Treas
ury's office that last nights state
ment had no relation to stock market
condition, but was made in response
to numerous inquiries during the past
few months as to what the treasury's
attitude would be in case of applica-
tion by banks for an issue of emer-
gency currency under the Aldrich-
Nreeland act
The department was informed, it
is stated by a number of bankers
that some difficulty might be eXpe-
rienced in moving the large crops
during the fall, and II they had the
assurance that Government relief
could be had they would meet the
situation
