Schiff Urges Elastic Currency To Avert Panic
New York January 5 Jacob H Schiff of Kuhn Loeb & Co warned before the Chamber of Commerce that without a more elastic currency there could be a panic. He favored a circulation tied to commercial paper via clearinghouses and opposed Secretary Shaw’s plan for emergency currency. The remarks spurred a stock market drop and a chamber resolution to study currency proposals. Schiff argued the currency issue is more vital to national prosperity than railroad rates.
