NATHAN FRANK FAVORS
GLASS BILLS PASSAGE
Former Missouri Republican Repre-
sentative Says Legislators Should
Rise to Real Statesmanship.

Former Representative Nathan Frank.
of st. Louis. a Republican. who spent
yesterday in Washington on business, ex-
pressed the opinion that the Glass-owen
currency bill ought to be enacted.
The Glass-Owen tiII provides for dis
tribution through a chain of reservoirs
leading to general reservoir. the Fed
eral Reserve Board, enabling those in
control to mobilize the money and credits
for distribution at the points where they
are seasonably needed" Mr.. Frank said
in commenting upon the bill.
This talk of nat money of which we
hear has no place in the discussion be-
cause the currency or money contem-
plated in the pending bill is asset cur
rency and has assets behind IL, and the
use of the word nat in connection with
the money Of issue under the Glass-Owen
bill simply serves to muddle the matter
and to create an erroneous impression.
This may seem somewhat like treason
for Republican like myself to utter, but
the Republican Party was pledged to cur
rency reform for the last twenty years
and did net bring about needed Iegisia-
ton on that subject II seems to me to
be the duty Of disinterested legislators to
rise to statemanship and patriotism in
support Of well constructed piece Of
legislation like the Glas-Owen bill"
Mr.. Frank was a member of the Ffftieth
and Fifty-frst Congresses. He visited the
Capitol yesterday and heard part Of the
debate on the currency bill in the Senate,
Mr.. Frank left for St. Louis last night.
