By the Associated Press.
DANVILLE, ILL.,. January 26.-Dr.
Frank A. Pearson Of Cornell University,
advocate of the administrators none
tary policy, assured Illinois Agricultural
Association members here today that
rapid progress Is being made toward a
stable purchasing power.
I'VE should not be too disturbed be-
cause so little progress has been made
in the past =" he said Inertia is
such q dominant force in our thoughts
an dactions, that great changes rarely
occur until an unusual event forces
them upon us.
THE unparalleled peace-time rise in
the value of gold forced the issue and
very rapid progress IS now being made.
LAS a result of the unparalleled chaos
Of the last three years and the present
widespread knowledge concerning the
problem, We may get stable measure

childrens children will not suffer from
the violent fluctuations in the value. OF

enced.
III we get it, the price We are paying,
although high, is cheap in terms OF hu-

The professor, who with DR.. George
F. Warren of Cornell, devised the elabo-
rate theory of the relationship between
gold and commodity prices, reviewed
the economic history of the plan.
The low level of public and private
construction was called the great OBJ
stacle to the rapid recovery of business,
which is the result of reduced ma
tional income caused by collapse IN
commodity prices"
The Nation is now attempting to
restore commodity prices to the level OF
taxes, wages, debts and other fixed
charges so that the creditor can COL

In gaining this level DR.. Pearson ad-
vocated use of scientific money which
"is one with a constant buying power
for all commodities rather than fixed

| Our whole tax and credit structure rests
on commodity prices. If this structure
is to be kept sound for the creditor and
the debtor, it is commodity prices that

SPENDING THEORY
Los Angeles Banker Insists
Thrift Is Social as Well
as Private Need.
NJ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 26.-Pictur1ng
It as a threat not only to the banking
Industry, hut to democracy itself, Dr..
"A. H. Giannini, Los Angeles banker,
warned last night OF new economic
theory that calls for spending instead
OF saving.
DR.. Giannini, chairman of the Gen.
eral Executive Committee of the Bank
Of America, Los Angeles, declared this
new theory, based on belief that the
Nation has passed from the economy
of want" to an economy of plenty" is
being espoused by economists at Wash
ington and elsewhere.
Addressing the Eastern savings con-
ference OF the American Bankers Asso-
citation, DR.. Giannini said the profession
had little to fear from currency revalua-
ton or Government regulation.
Fundamentals Attacked.
THE real menace to our future does
not come from the currency innovators,"
he said. 1T is not to be found In our
banking methods or our professional
scandals. What we bankers face today
is an attack upon the economic funda-
mentals which make possible our ac-
tivities and our services. such as they
may be. Mistake not. there is a plausible
q determined, in many respects, rea-
soned effort to undermine human thrift
itself"
He called on the bankers to prove
to the public that private thrift is not
outmoded. He suggested that the aboli-
ton of private thrift might lead to a
revolution, such as that which shook
Moscow in 1917.
ru,c rio1
tion and Communism" he said. lies
largely in the fiscal management pro-
Sided by its bankers. That refuge will
not be secured by a house cleaning
today, or a house cleaning tomorrow
but by the keeping of clean houses
throughout all the future"
Thrift Social Need"
If banking is to survive in its pres
ent form, he said, we must, during the
next decade, resell the public on the
principle that thrift, the private thrift
of the saving individual, is a persona
rs we'll as a social necessity, a mean;
of social as we'll as individual protec-
ton, the surest way for the Nation as
well as the individual to security ane
legitimate profit"
The new school Of economists, "some
Of whom hold prominent and influen.
tial places in our Government" hi
said contend that "our present eco.
pomic troubles have come about
largely, if not entirely, through exces.
kive thrift
Primarily" he continued, they cal
for the placing of a staggeringly vas
fraction of the population on Govern.
ment pay rolls and for taxation Of
the income of wealth to meet the wage
charges 1t is sufficient to say here
that whatever might happen to private
initiative in industry under such 6
system, banking as we know it coule
no longer exist"

M'LEOD DEFENDS BILL
FOR VETERANS INCREASE
Denies American Legion Measure
Will Have Effect of Repeal
ing Economy Act.

Vigorously championing the -four
point bill of the American Legion,
which he is sponsoring, Representative
Clarence j. Mcleod. Republican, of
Michigan. himself World War veteran,
in a speech in the House yesterday
sharply refuted charges by opponents
of the measure that it would virtually
result in repeal of the economy act.
TT will readily be seen,'' said Rep
fesentative Mcleod, that this assertion
is entirely without foundation when we
consider that the economy act slashed
the appropriation for veterans relief by
approximately S400,000,000. and the
Legion measure is designed to restore
only from sixty-flve to eighty million
