$500 Million Emergency Fund Ready Under Aldrich-Vreeland
Secretary McAdoo announced that $500 million in emergency funds are ready under the Aldrich-Vreeland act.

Senators O Gorman and Hitchcock argued the act already covers emergencies until new laws are considered. McAdoo’s stance signals the administration’s push for rapid currency reform amid ongoing debates.
