(By United Press.) | WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—The reply of Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island to the crities of his banking and currency bill, introduced by him as @ measure to provide relief in time of financial stress by allow _ | ing the national banks to issue emergency currency on certain ay proved securities and guarant by the government, was made to day. It excited widespread inter est because the bill is supposed to have the best opportunity of pase ing of the number of bills offered i this session Many financial critics declare that the bill affords no substantial relief Aldrich reviews the situation {n an able style, He discussed the panic of 1907, and said it was not a currency panic, in the true sense of the word, for the United States jecurrency, In character, is beyond question. The amount of money in circulation at that time in the hands of the people outside the banks’ treasury Was $19.36 per capita, much larger than that h by the people of any commercial in the world, except France, where the conditions are entirely different No Emergency Provision. “Under the ordinary conditions the volume of our currency could be fairly criticized as excessive Certainly it ts adequate to meet the normal demands. But there is no provision for an emergency | which occurs more or leas fre Jquently {n every country and which we now see exists, yet one must be provided for, It ts im possible to estimate the losses in flicted by the suspension, payment by the banks tn the recent disturb. jance. There was financial embar rassment on every hand, thousands were thrown out of employment, and the wages of the employed }reduced. Of the five expedients emergency house the use of the clearing the tifte was most effective. Clearing House Certificates. This was the eighth time t their employment has been ben ficial, at tin preventing a serious disaster, but it resulted this time in such a disarrangement of the ex es unquestionably changes as to make it doubtful whether the disadvantages were | not greater than the benefits, The great losses the people of the coun try suffered through the partial breakdown of our credit system and which the abnormal inc ix the volum of oney fa to avert, should lead congress to se riously consider whether {t ts pos sible to provide for Jegisiation tha will prevent its recurrence. If a panic should be repeated, the methods of relief used in 1907 would not be available and treasury might not be in a con dition to come to the relief of the people. It is impossible to increase th jonal bank notes ou United States bonds. No or n pred what the financial conditions will be by autumn, Some urge the en revision of the monetary sy the establishment of bank of issue. ive tem. central Central Bank Not Advocated. I personally think the adoption of the latter system in the imm diate future is out of the question Therefore the entire finance com mittee agreed to demand for an ts-| sue of emergency ne The mi nority favored the United States notes but the majority felt that this would establish a dangerous precedent } They believed, since the nation al bank notes with their convert ibility gu nteed by the govern ment, have the confidence of the American people, it would be prudent to use this form of cur rency some al $500,000,000 in Notes. “The bill reported by the commit: | | or a j ' tee provides for the possible issue fo emergencies of $500,000,000 in notes, to be identical in character to that of national bank notes, and secured by state bonds. The banks are required to deposit in the Unit- ed States treasury municipal, state first-class railroad bonds. On the state or municipal bonds, the banks are entitled to 90 per cent jin notes, and on railroad bonds 78 per cent. At any time within 48 urs the entire $500,000,000 can be put into channels of trade to al- lay public excitement. The bill simply gives the banks the right to accomplish by legal methods that which it was felt nee- y in the recent crisis to ac- complish by illegal meas.” Aldrich Sarcastic. Aldrich grew ring to the obje the sarcastic in refer- tion of the effect bill would have on bank earn- He said he must confess that committee did not try to devise an to increase them. In the recent panic there was. the neral suspension of cash payment by the banks,” he said, and this is in violation of every banking law But the bank man- agers should realize but for the ex- traordinary forbearance of the peo- ple it would not ve repeated. Our collections during the past three months are too definite to listen with patience to a discussion by the officers of banks in large cities whether the remedies proposed by congress would result in large ad- in their dividends Scores Bankers, 1 do not intend to place a premium on that kind of bank man- nt which proposes to make a financial disturbance and disaster the source of profit. The securities named must find universal accept ance in the settlement of obliga- ons. No securities ex United ates bonds have better credit or standing in financial circles. As to the assertion that the govern- ment should not exact from the banks a pledge of definite secur ties, and that it is safe to accept general credit and assets as secw ity, Aldrich said that a sufficient answer was that the banks did not follow this rule in dealing with each other. The clearing houses lire caretully selec on which to advance of the value of the paper
