j Almost any sudden and revolution
lary change affecting the entire money
jand credit system of the nation, is
! likely to precipitate serious trouble in
which every citizen must suffer.
Currency is not a party question
like the tariff.
Partisan action should not be al
lowed to rush ill-advised and half
baked legislation upon the country. I
hold that the Glass-Owen bill is de
signed with political aims as its main
basis. It is a Democratic caucus
measure which has not hud general

These suggestions, briefly stated,
are designed to encourage public dis
cussion of the many serious questions I
involved in the establishment of a new
national financial plan. They indicate
some vital safeguards which the
Glass-Owen bill fails to provide.
The people should urge upon their
representatives a full public debate on
the bill and the elimination of partisan
questions before final adoption.
