Currency Revision Urged Before Senate Banking Panel
Samuel Untermyer of New York urged a broad revision of the administration currency bill before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee. He pressed strict definitions of commercial paper, wider rediscount power for regional banks, and changes to regional bank organization to curb bank control while granting a 6 percent profit to banks and government profits above that. He also urged abolishing the advisory bankers council and tighter federal regulation.
