the Goldsborough measure passed by
the house Monday.
They provide that the federal re-

treasury restore the purchasing power
Of the dollar to the 1926 level by cur
rency expansion.
I'm my opinion 1t would not be pos
sible for the government to carry out
such q mandate" Secretary Mills
wrote.
Price levels are dependent upon q
large number of factors that are be-
yond the control of the federal re-
serve system. the treasury department
or any other agency of the govern
ment, and do not believe that II
would be wise to impose upon them
duty and a responsibility which they
could not discharge.
Such an attempt would tend to un-
dermine the confidence of the people
in the various agencies of the govern
ment and the result would be unfor-
tunate."
