Senator Tess Of Ohio, veteran Re
publican whip, stirred currency infia-

he urged in the Senate that Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt Immediately dis
avow any intention of 'tampering with
sound money as a reinsurance to bust
ness.
In a speech that lasted more than
two hours, he said no statement could
have more ''salutary result" on COM
merce and industry than one from Mr..
would not be undertaken under his
regime.
THAT would stimulate business at
once" Fess asserted. Until that I'M
certainty is removed, there will be no
revival of business"
Senators Wheeler, Montana, and
Thomas Oklahoma inflationist Demo-
Gratis, Immediately challenged some Of
Fess' statements. Thomas served no
tice he would reply to the speech to-
day.
He told Fess yesterday the country
was In its worst shape in history" as a
result of following similar advice.
Wheeler said he had been unable

the value of the securities practically

us the same purchasing power in 1926
as in 1882"
Fess said business would not take
the risk of expanding until it had as
surance the Government and States
would live within their income, that
all profits would not be absorbed by
taxation, and until I'VE stop this con-
slant agitation that we are going to

Lashing out particularly against pro-

should set an example and discourage
wage cutting so that the standard OF

a shorter workday-flve days a week

Repeal Of the eighteenth amendment
