Before the message reached Capi- tol Hill, the house coinage committee opened hearings on the money ques- tion with testimony by the resigned treasury advisor, Prof. O. M. W. Sprague, that “no country ever de- valued its currency in circumstances quite like those that obtain in the United States at the present time.” In his message, the president with- held any additional recommendation cn silver “because I believe that we In a talk with newspapermen, the! president restated that the objective | of his monetary program was to bring | the purchasing power of the dollar back to the level at which the aver- age debts of the country were incur- red so that these debts may be paid off with a dollar equal in value to that at which the debt was incurred. | Earliest reactions on Capitol Hill indicated majority support for the chief executive's far-reaching step. It was equally certain, however, that op- position would spring up in both the house and senate.

In a scene made the-more dramatic hy a tight-lipped secrecy imposed up- on all present, Roosevelt Sunday right spread his cards upon a White House table before half a hundred senators and representatives. Back and forth across the presi- ed midnight suggestions were ex- changed as to various levels for de- valuating the dollar. In the end the Senators and representatives final- ly emerged from the executive man- sion, many smiling but all silent. It was thrown in order to prevent Euro- ean markets from taking advantage cf a five-hour or so time difference over markets in this country. Getting government title to all monetary gold meant chiefly im- pounding the huge federal reserve pank stocks of $3,566,000,000—more Ustited States supply. Roosevelt be- lieves he has ample power to order inis gold into the treasury. Government ownership of all mone- tary gold means chiefly a shift in title, since most of the yellow metal already is in either the treasury it- self or its mints. Known monetary gold stocks exceed $4,000,000,000. Of this, $3,201,740,000 is neld in the treasury, Of what's out- side, $814,140,000 is held by the fed- eral reserve banks. PRIEST TALKS OF NEW CURRENCY ISSUE Detroit, Jan. 15.—(AP)—The Rev. Father Charles E. Coughlin Monday sought popular support for this mone- tary program which he claimed would rake possible the issuance of 25,000,- 000,000 currency dollars. In a speech Sunday which he said was an answer to an open letter sent him last week by James P. Warburg, New York banker, Father Coughlin asked his audience to write to their congressmen or senators and urge the enactment of his program. In his letter Warburg had asserted “there is not enough gold and silver obtainable in the world” to carry out Father Coughlin’s proposals to pay off government bonds in currency and treate a symetalic dollar. In reply Father Coughlin said that not only was there enough precious metal available but that “there is more than enough in America if we use it extreme south, with moderate cold | 1999, ‘Wave in north portion. yalad | “Saying he had been employed since GENERAL CONDITIONS {1929 on the technical staff, Hoover high pressure area extends from said his salary originally had been to serve men instead of forcing man to worship at its shrine.” He said there was enough metal for $25,000,- 90,000 in currency.
