Senate to probe currency in the United States
The U S Senate Banking and Currency Committee begins a thorough inquiry into the country currency and its defects. A 32 item question list is prepared for bankers and financial experts with a letter asking for candid answers. The questions seek essential defects, reserve rules, elastic currency, central and regional reserve structures, taxation, governance, and potential reforms. The session also notes related political moves and local Chicago commentary on banking, finance, and public works.
