Senator Asks Greater Cir culation and Increase of Credits. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 16.—Senator timer Thomas, Democrat, of Okla homa. said last night the Nation’s monetary problem would not be ad justed until these two steps were taken: "1. More actual money must be placed In circulation. ’’2. Credit or deposit money must be expanded and made available for the people and for industry.” Addressing the Teachers’ College Chapter of the Phi Delta Kappa, honorary educational fraternity, at the Men’s Faculty Club of Columbia University, Thomas advocated also a wider use of silver. "The longer the adjustment of our monetary system Is delayed the cheaper the dollar must be made and the greater the danger of real In flation. "If confidence Is to be restored. If business Is to be revived and If taxes. Interest and debts are to be paid, the people must be able to secure both money and credit; hence, to dispel the money famine Is the para mount Issue before Congress and the country.” Denies Re Is Inflationist. Thomas reiterated his denial that he was an Inflationist, adding that neither Is he a repudiationlst. ‘‘The American economic system Is the capitalistic system,” he said. "This system grows, thrives and expands upon profits and withers, dwarfs and decays upon deficits; hence the life and continued existence of the capi talistic system Is now In the balance. "Governments, great and small, live oil the taxes paid by the masses of th epeople; hence If the people ere Impoverished and cannot get money taxes default, government* fall and the Inevitable results are revolution and chaos.” He said the Nation had had enough of deflation and that the demand now is for an expansion of currency. “Who Is there among us who can say that It Is not yet time to act?” he asked. Points to Two Course*. "The record before us demonstrates that we have but two roads open to possible travel. One Is the continu ation of deflation, leading to bank ruptcy and repudiation of debts, pri vate and public. “The other road Is an expansion of the currency, leading to more money, hence, cheaper money, higher prices for commodities, wages and salaries, and thereby reinvesting the people with added buying power." Senator Thomas said that more money means the payment of taxes, Interests and debts; the saving of homes, farms and factories; the res toration of personal, corporate, city, county, State and national solvency. Re then asked what program the de- < flationlsts have to offer. “Without a plan they are In Wash ington borrowing the people’s credit and spending some of the money In parading Russian and German In flation ghosts before the public."
