NEW YORK, March 3o.--On slightly

The alcohol stocks were strong. some
of the chemical shares were in demand,
the sugars were firm and from time to

MONEY CALLED
"GREENBACKS''
TWENTY Billion Infla-
ton Planned, Says
Senator Reed

WASHINGTON, April %. - Al
though it is certainty that the
Roosevelt imitation program will be
enacted into law, some Republican
Senators are making speeches against
it. In the course Of the debates, the
Republican Senators have said some
revealing things about the proposed
program.
Representing some of the die-hard
creditor interests of the country who
are determined that their claims must
be directly enforced, Representative
Smell of the House said: 1--WE are OPP
posed to fat money, and if the pro-
posed amendment does not issue
money that is pure greenback money,
then 1 am frank to say that 1 do
not know what greenback money Is"
Twenty Billion Initiation
Senator Reed pointed out that the
Roosevelt imitation program provides
the machinery for twenty billion
dollar imitation. He computes it as
follows: So ,000,000,00O through pur-
chase of government issues by the
Federal Reserve banks; $4,000 600. 600
through the direct issuance of print
ing press money; $6,000,000 900
through imitation of the present cur
rency by reducing the gold content Of
the dollar; and the remaining $8,000,-
100000 through the use of surplus
gold stocks The Roosevelt govern
ment will be able to expand to these
limits provided by the Emergency
Bank Act and the Thomas Amend
ment.

according to the announcement
made at the White House.
This move is only an excuse
for stalling OF any definite proposals
until after there have been confer
ences with the former premier OF
France, Edouard Herriott and rep
resentatives Of other countries on
their way here. 1t is certain that as
far as the material to be used by the
United States government is con-
cerned that has been available for
some time, inasmuch as all depart
ments of the government, especially
the state, war, navy and commerce
departments, have been preparing for
the conversations.
Announcement was made that
there would be nothing beyond form

Herriot also took an indirect slap
at Macdonald by stating that any
attempt to revise boundaries in Europe
WOulQ lcdu W ulohoGlOuo IOou4to' LILO
was directed against the recent Mac
Donald Mussolini conferences in
Rome which resulted in the proposal
for Horsepower treaty embracing
England, Italy, Germany and France,
but which proposed cutting down
the boundaries of the French puppet
states-the Little Entente and Poland
Secret Anti-Soviet Plots.
Today Macdonald and Roosevelt
are spending the day together on the
presidential yacht on the Potomac
river. 1t is certain that the one point
on which they are in agreement is
that dictated by the hatred and fear
of the decaying capitalist world for
the Soviet Union, the one country
in the world that is advancing eco
nomically and the one country that
has stable currency. The fact that
Roosevelt did not invite to the wash
ing on conferences the Soviet Union
and that the British government is
carrying on veritable frenzy OF pro-
vocation against the Soviet Union is
proof that they will try to find some
basis on which thew can proceed in
their anti-Soyiet plots.
