The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-04-24

Vice-President Garner rec
ognized Thomas at 1874 p,
M, and he began his eXplana-
ton of the administration in
Aation plan. He took up the
provisions of the bill one by
one.
Republicans did not appear
greatly interested. Most of them left
the chamber after the quorum call.
This amendment in my judg-
ment is the most important propo-
sition that ever has come before the
American congress or any parlia-
ment in the world" Thomas said.
Wealth Transfer Urged
IF this amendment prevails it
may transfer from one class in the
United States value to the extent
of almost 100000, O000 900. 1t will be
transferred first from those who
have bank deposits and second from
those who hold bonds. .-.
In their hands rests 5000, 600 000,-
600 of bank deposits. They did not
earn it.
IF this power is exercised in a
reasonable degree it must transfer
that 5000, 900, 100000 from the hands
of those who did not earn it, did
not buy it, who do not deserve it
back to the hands of the debtor
classes.
Saving only the World war, there
has been no such mCmentouS thing
before the world in 5000 years"
Thomas continued.
Senator Adams Dem., COLI in
terrupted
Il wonder if I heard accurately
that the senator said no bank de-
post was earned?"
Il did not intend to go that far"
Thomas replied, but I shall come
to that directly in my speech"
Raise Commodity Prices
did I understand" asked Senator
Reed CRep., Pa, leader of the sem
ate anti-inf1ation bloc, that the
purpose of the senator's amendment
is to transfer ,000,0O00OO of
wealth from the creditor to the
debtor classes?"
Unless that is DONE" Thomas re-
piled. the debtor class will not have
had substantial justice done it."
That is the senator's purpose,
then. Reed pursued.
My purpose" Thomas replied, lis
to raise commodity prices so people
can live"
He declared that even with the
transfer of wealth, full and fair
Justice will not have been done to
the people of the United States
AS the initiation debate swept over
the startled senate, Senator William
Borah (Rep.. Ida informed ques-
TONERS off the floor today that he
contemplated an amendment to the
administration plan which would
authorize opening of all closed
banks with an immediate payment
to depositors of 60 cents on the
dollar.
Borah has not decided to offer
such an amendment, but he might
do so.

apartment of Senator Borah, his old
friend and former chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee

Canadian legation, the prime min

The morning session between the
president and Premier Macdonald
broke up shortly before l D. m. and

They have agreed in principle
that this obstacle must be removed
before the road will be clear for
