GOLD TO BE HELD HERE

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo last
night issued a statement upon the pas
sage OF the amendments Hberalizing the
Aldrich-VreelandJ currency act, in which
he said an end had been put upon any
question that might have existed as g
the ability OF the banks Of the country
to take care Of the financial situation.
He added that the situation throughout
the country Is excellent.
Earlier in the day the Secretary had
reported to the President that the bank
ers had succeeded in halting the cxporta-
ton OF gold, except for the comparatively
small movement to Canada
Crisis Is Passed.
This information, together with the
progress of the administration emergency
act in Congress, convinced the Presi-
dent that the crisis in the domestic situ-
alton growing out of the war had been
passed. Secretary McAdoo's statement
follows:
THE passage by unanimous vote OF
the House and Senate Of the amendment
to the Federal reserve act. whereby the
Secretary OF the Treasury is vested with
power to issue additional national bank
currency in such amount. exceeding even
500, 0Oo. .OOO as, in his Judgment. may be
necessary to protect the business situ-
alton in this country, puts at rest any
question as to the ability OF the banks
to take care of the situation.
There need be no fear whatever OF
insufficient currency to move the crops
and to meet the demands of business.
The bill, as amended, authorizes the Sec
retary, in his discretion, to permit ma
tional banks to have outstanding a maxi
mum Of circulating notes equivalent TO
Is per cent of their unimpaired capital
and surplus. This provision will enable
banks which have now outstanding circu-
lation equal to their capital stock, to Sc
cure q large amount Of additional circu-
lation-
Applications have been received from
r number of national currency associa-
lions throughout the country for addi-
tional currency, and these applications
are being promptly responded TO. Al
ready 100000 of currency has been
