a4 ASSURANCE URGED BN INFLATION CURB Wall Street Bankers Foresee DPamper to Trade in Uncertainty. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 4—Some Wall Street bankers are urging the assurance that inflation will be kept within defi- pite limits as requisite to continued business recovery. Extreme inflation, it is explained, might in the long run have the same restricting effect upon the flow of busi- ness as deflation. ‘The business upturn of the last month s described as due in a substantial measure to & rush to convert dollars| gto goods, in the belief that dollars, if ept, will buy less later on. Recent Pledges Praised. But at the same time this same fear of depreciation may make the lender reluctant to lend and the manufacturer Desitant about extending credit to buy- ers of his goods. In view of this aspect of inflation these banking quarters say that recent gssurances by administration spokes- that the inflationary powers ted by Congress would be used with rudence and restraint should be defi- itely constructive. Nevertheless, they find that much un- nty still remains over the prob- purchasing power of the dollar, J eable in part, no doubt. to the re- it fevers in the speculative markets. Prices Still Low. At the same time it is pointed out #hat actual advances in commodity frtces have not gone far in restricting downward course of the last two s, Cotton has not yvet topped last tember's best price. Wheat has risen levels that were considered extremely W less than two years ago. Copper is 8till under average costs of production in the United States 80 1t is possible that restoration of more profitable prices may for some time more than counteract the adverse which inflation may have in re- g business credit.

Here is the extent of the power granted the President yester by Congress in the $6,000,000,000 tion amendment to the farm relief bill. He may use it at his discretion under four conditions, namely: ‘When he finds foreign commerce here is adversely affected by depreciated foreign currencies. | When action is necessary to regulate |and maintain the parity of currency issues of the United States. When an economic emergency re- quires an expansion of credit. When an expansion of credit is | necessary to secure by intentional |agreement = stabllization at proper |levels of the currencies of various governments. This is how he would do it: Direct the Treasury Secretary to en- ter agreements with the Federal Re- serve banks for the purchase of $3,000, {000,000 in Government obligations, | used THE EVENING BTAR, WASHINGTON, D.

If this is inadequate to meet the Government's needs, the President may direct the Secretary to issue $3,000,- 000,000 in currency, to be retired at the rate of 4 per cent annually. These notes may mm to pay interest-bearing By proclamation the President may reduce the gold content of the dollar by 50 per cent and fix the weight of the silver dollar and the ratio between the gold and silver dollar. He also may order unlimited free colnage of gold and sliver. During the first six months after en- actment of the bill the President may accept from foreign war debtor coun- tries silver in bulk up to $200,000,000 at 50 cents an ounce maximum. Cur- rency may be issued against the silver and held in the Treasury, except that for coinage purposes. 'TELLS HOW RENOVIZING CREATES MORE WORK | Bert E. Holmes of the Renovise Washington Campaign Committee last | night told members of the Preindship Heights Citizens' Association at the Janney School how the campaign undertaking to improve the unemploy- ment situation, and at the same time | assist their homes. Urging participation in the cam- paign, he sald that labor is 25 to 50 per cent cheaper than in 10 years, and that home owners would do well to take advantage of the present low cost of building material before the prices |rise. He also invited participation in the contest which the campaign is soon | to conduct in connection with the old | shack, which it is to renovize, at Four- | teenth street and Pennsylvania avenue. Any one in Washington, he said, is eli- gible to send in suggestions for im- proving the structure.
