HEARING ON CURRENCY
MEASURE CONTINUES

Washington, Sept. i6.-One OF tho
pcrpi.Ning and important problems
TO fall on the managers OF the new
banking system proposed by the ad-
minlstraiion bill will b. the curtail-
mont OF business activities and tho
restraining OF credits n, critical mo-
monts. according to Professor o. NJ.
w. Sprayue. OF Harvard University.
who testified today before the senate
banking committee.
Had these federal banks been In
existence the last year" he said.
they would have been bcsicgcd with
demands from business more money
and an extension OF discounts. As !.
is. ! think the moderate liquidation
business has had to go through in the
last six months has been of very
grca, advantage ana has greatly
strengthened the business commun-
ity.
Professor Spracue was the first OF
u number OF experts who will be-
next few days.
The plans for replacing national
bank notes with new treasury notes
was criticized adversely by Professor
Spragc. He advocated change that
would make government bonds secur-
ity for those notes as they are now
for national bank currency.
The general features of the admin
istration bill Professor Sprnsue ap-
proved. Properly managed. he said.
the new plan would remove most of
the defects OF the present system and
provide for emergencies and crop
moving demands.
