BANKER PROPOSES MONEY PROGRAN Control Plan Would Prevent Short-Lived Boom, Says W. W. Aldrich. By the Associatefl Press. NEW YORK,| January 4—Winthrop W. Aldrich, president of the Cham- ber of Commerre of the State of New York and chairman of the Chase Na- tional Bank, outlined yesterday a pro- gram of monetpary control to prevent business recovéry from becoming & short-lived boom. Applauding the recent move of the Treasury to “slerilize” new gold ac- quisitions as a| “wise” plan, he sug- gested in a yqar-end statement the following poinjs in a control pro- eral budget to end gram: A balanced “deficit financihg through extension | of bank credit.| Increase in Jederal Reserve mem- | ber bank reserve requirements to the | full extent prnjitted by law. Discontinuange of silver purchases by the Treasury. Management of the tripartite e: change agreemjent among England, | Prance and the United States toward the goal of restoring “the regulatory function of ttm’ international gold standard” as spon as possible. He explained| the aim of the last suggestion was| to bring equilibrium between prices, [interest rates and for- eign exchange rates in the different countries of the world. Noting a trgnd toward credit ex- pansion in 1436, he warned that “unless great |[prudence is exercised and unless monetary controls are in- voked in time,| recovery can all too easily degenerite into a short-lived While apprqving the Treasury's plan for preverfting gold imports from entering the jlready vast base for pomnml loan ejxpansion, he described it as “merely s palliative” which did not reach the| fundamentals of the situation. e Africany Fear Twins.

Hers was a fragile phettiness with hair fluffing out in & golden haze around a pale face. But hes eyes held bright color enough, the ‘warm blue of Sum- mer’s delphinium. They were wide and open eyes, for the girl was ob- viously startled by the gutter-gray poverty of Sarah’s . “ e ST!:P right on in, miss.

We're sort of used to it, ma'am.” she went on with a spurious cheer. “It's home, our humble nest.” She smiled over at her husband and then she sighed, folding her veiny claws over a flat bosom. “I'm the family invalid, miss; mind if I set down a spell? Y’ see, we're expecting a blessed event in the Spring—when you're over in Europe, Miss. But we ain't got no baby clothes or nothing for the poor kiddie; we ain't got a dime.” Droop-lidded, she covertly gauged the effect on the young girl. But Marjorie Kingman's face, naive barometer of her thoughts, registered not a doubt; only a girlish embarrass- ment. “Oh,” she murmured. *“But you'll adore having a little baby around, though. Babies are so cuddly and sweet, you know. And now please tell me exactly how I can help you.

But I'd always thought as how I wanted to make all them cute little baby things my- self, see?” “You poor thing, I quite under- stand.” The girl was all warm sweet- ness. ‘“And you're the type deserving of help. Why, even willing to do without a bedstead before parting with your music—oh, I beg your par- don, but I couldn’t help noticing,” and Marjorie nodded toward the old talk- ing machine. “I'm going to mail you some of the symphony concert tickets.” * %k % % UT, as you were saying, miss,' about the dou—money for the | shopping,” Sarah steered back firmly, “$50 would take care of everything just dandy.” “I've just had an idea.
