Favors Aldrich plan to rush work on measure
After two days with the currency commission of the American Bankers Association, the monetary commission adjourned to meet on Aldrich’s call. The plan, while broadly acceptable, faces questions on the treatment of two percent government bonds held by national banks and the proposed national reserve association. The aim is to pass the measure by the start of the Sixty-second Congress’s first regular session next December. The discussion covers bond exchange options, tax implications, and whether State banks should join on merit without conversion to national banks.
