Plan for elastic currency proposed by bank officials
Secretary Shaw urged a flexible currency scheme at the Georgia and Florida Bankers association meeting at Atlantic Beach Florida. He proposed banks issue a limited currency tied to capital or bond debt, with interest incentives to issue and retire during shortages, guaranteed by the government to cover losses, plus a tax to redeem failed banks’ currency. He warned against non guaranteed issues and doubted a heavy taxed bond-based system would be as elastic.
