CITIZENS LEAGUE BACKS PLEA
Belief Expressed That Revision Will
Avert Business Disturbance, Fol-
lowing Cut in Tariff.

Urgent appeals for the enactment of
currency reform legislation at the extra
session of Congress are being received by
most of the democratic members of Con-
gress. as a result of the intimation re-
Gently given by Representative Carter
Glass of the banking and currency COM
mittee that currency matters might not
be included in President-elect Wilson :
call for the special session.
Business men in all parts of the coun-
try have awakened to the fact that the
best way to offset any danger of business
disturbance resulting from tariff slash
ing is to make the currency more elastic.
Mr.. Glass intimated that Mr.. Wilson has
not yet made up his mind TO whether
banking and currency reform should be
undertaken at the extra session. and the
business men of the United States in
Guiding small shopkeepers as we'll as the
bigger interests of Chicago. New York.
Philadelphia and Boston, have started a
campaign to show the urgency of a
change in the present system.
The National Citizens League. whose
headquarters are in Chicago, although its
members are distributed in all parts of
the United States, is urging immediate
action toward more elastic currency
and points out that Mr. Wilson viii be
inviting a business disturbance unless the
currency system is strengthened at the
same time the tariff is cut.
Some of the leaders in the House have
been disposed to confine the extra session
TO the tariff exclusively, arguing that one
big subject is about all that can be
handled satisfactorily at one time. The
letters that are being received by repre-
sentatives from the business men of the
country show, however. that there is
general impression that the chances of
"A business disturbance from tariff revi-
sion will be reduced to a minimum it
the currency laws are revised and made
more elastic at the same time.

Favors Divisional Reserve Banks.

Chairman Glass. in the course of. the
hearings before his committee, has made
it plain that he is in favor of system
of divisional reserve banks. with clearing
house functions. under federal supervision
ana control. and it is this system that the
next President is said to approve.
The business men who are urging action
at the special session are not bothering
much about the details. The consensus
of their opinion is that the present cur
rency system is virtually an invitation TO
business disturbances or even panic. With
new tariff law being framed. they insist
that il is absolutely essential that the
currency should be made more elastic.
And they say that delay on the part OF
the democratic party will not merely in
jure the country. but may seal the fate
of the party itself.

Have No Specific Plan.

No special form of currency system is
being urged either by the National Cid
Zens League or by the business men who
are wiring and writing to Wilson and the
democratic congressman. They are not
approving or disappearing of the Aldrich
currency plan. All they ask is that re-
vision of the banking and currency laws
be undertaken at the extra session. They
are content TO let the democratic party
deal with the problem as the leaders see
fit. What they insist, however, is that
action of some sort is necessary without
delay if the democrats desire that the
country should sail smoothly through the
breakers that inevitably follow tariff tin
kering.
