Currency Reform Split Over Central Bank and National Notes
New York Oct 4 The currency commission of the New York Chamber of Commerce proposes two paths for a flexible elastic currency. One, a central bank of issue controlled by the government. two, expanded note powers for national banks with a graduated tax and a guaranty fund. The report, led by chairman John Claflin, doubles as a forecast that Congress may resist creating a central bank. The committee recommends redemption funds and rules to retire notes, plus amendments to Treasury laws to avoid interfering with the money market. Members include Frank Vanderlip and Isidor Straus.
