fiationary issuance Of $3.50 100 900

Senator Taft told reporters his IN.
vestigation showed that the two
agencies had acted about month
ago, under authority Of 1888 emer-
gency banking law, to issue the
notes. claiming the saving Of 225 900
man-hours Of labor and IS tons Of
paper would be effected BY using
them instead Of. printing new cur
rency.
The procedure used. Senator Taft
said, was such that the notes be.
came general obligations Of the
Treasury. rather than notes backed
by = 10 per cent gold reserve.
The net effect Is directly ip1la-
tionary, exactly the same q issuing
that many greenbacks," i" he declared.
THE excuse Is that there Is only
3660. .0o0. 900 involved, but with the
