Thomas, Democrat, introduced a res
olution proposing that President Wil
Bon be authorized to invite England,
France and Germany, whose monetary
system is based on the gold standard,
to participate, and that five delegates
be appointed from the United States
when any two European nations had
accepted the invitation.
A preamble set forth that rates of
exchange between gold standard coun
tries and the silver nations of South
and Central American fluctuated vio
lently, always to the disadvantage of
the gold standard countries.
Senator Thomas contended that his
resolution called for consideration in
connection with the currency bill.
"The currency problem, In any one
country cannot be satisfactorily set
tled without considering currency
conditions throughout the world,"
said he.
Efforts for an agreement for an
extra vote on the bill met with little
success today.
. Senator Cummins, Republican, con
tinued his criticism of the measure.
Senator Root presented amendments
to eliminate the guarantee of deposits
and revise the note issue section to
provide for a graduated tax on re
serve deficiencies in order to prevent
Inflation.
"I think this bill has many beneficial
features which ought to be enacted in
to law," he said.
"It is unfortunate that the circum
stances under which the bills comes
before us, hamper full discussion. It
is unfortunate that the Democratic
caucus action on the measure, was not
delayed until the bill had been thresh
ed out In the senate.
"In presenting amendments, we la
bor under the discouraging idea that
the bill has already been passed."
Senator Root pointed out that there
was no limit on the amount of new cur
rency which could be issued under the
bill.

Boom For Root.
Just after Senator Root concluded
his speech, Senator Gallinger, of New
Hampshire, launched a presidential
boom for the New York senator. In a
statement lauding Mr. Root as the
ablest advocate of sound economic and
financial doctrines, in this county,
Senator Gallinger said:
"Unless the Republican party nomi
nates Senator Root as their candidate
for the presidency of the United
States, they will miss the greatest op
portunity that has ever presented It

New York State Commission on , son , a telegram filed to him last
against which it holds $391,000,000 in
gold and Bilver. He argued that any
further increase of obligation should
be authorized only on ample reserves.
Predictions of a big expansion of
business that would threaten an over
expansion of credit and currency un
der the new law were made by Sena
tor Root.
"We started out to provide for an
elastic currency, but this bill provides
for an expansive currency," said the
senator. "It provides for a currency
that may be increased, always Increas
ed, but there is no provision compell
ing its reduction."
While the federal reserve board,
Senator Root admitted, had discret
ionary powers to limit the issue of
currency bo far as the proposed new
law itself is concerned, there was no
specific restraint in the constant In
crease of volume of currency.
' "There will be an activity of enter
prise Uiai Will ausoi u me mtuimuui
which the reserves of the banks will
permit,'' he said, "and it will require
the exercise, to the extreme, of the
nuthority of the federal reserve board
to hold it in check."
Senator Root declared the new bill,
so far as specific restraints on the
expansion of the currency were con
cerned, would not help to check
panics.
"I can see In this bill," he said "no
end Interposed by us to the occur
rence of one of those periods of false
and delusive prosperity that inevitably
ends in ruin and suffering."
It has been the history of this and
other countries, he said, that panics
follow "easy money." That was the
case in 1837, in 1857, in 1873, in 1893
and in 1307, he declared.
