CONSIDERS
CURRENCY
ALDRICH AND CRANE CALLED
TO WHITE HOUSE
Senators from Rhode Island and Mas.
sachusetts Call on President at
His Request to Discuss
Situation
By Associated Press.
¦WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.— A conference
was held at the White House this even
ing- tetween t.ie president and Sena
tors Aldrich of Rhode Island and Crane
of Massachusetts on the subject of cur
rency legislation.
The president called these two lead
inr senators in order that he might
have their views concerning the many
propositions that have been made to
him during the last several weeks in
favor of plans for relieving the cur
rency stringency under such circum
stances as have occurred recently.
Senator Aldrich stated, at the con
clusion of the conference, that nothing
definite had been decided on.
The president has been In receipt or
many communications from all parts of
the country urging him to recommend
special plans for relieving the money
stringency, and his chief purpose in the
conference tonight seemed to be to dis
cuss the suggestions that have been
made to him.
He outlined many of these sugges
tions and Senator Aldrich gave his
views freely on all of them. He ex
plained to ?>« president obstacles to
various proposed measures, and partic
ularly Impressed upon him the necessity
for careful consideration of the sub
ject.
He showed that if an emergency
arises it will be necessary to carefully
guard the security that should be given
for such currency as may be issued.
Fears Difficulties
He explained that if It Is left to
bankers in the various communities to
decide when to put out emergency cir
culation there will be difficulties ahead
of a very serious nature. It would also
be necessary to provide conditions un
der which such emergency circulation
should be called in. Without such pre
cautions the question would arise
whether the treasury department or the
bankers, or both, had the power to put
out and withdraw emergency circula
tion.
An interesting phase of the confer
ence was that the president had no par
ticular plan of his own to urge. He
simply was trying to settle his own
mind in regard to the various sugges
tions brought to his attention. He was
looking for information, rather than
seeking to secure concurrence in any
view he maintanied.
The two senators arrived at the White
House at 9:30 p. m., and the conference
was prolonged until 11:30 p. m. The
president appeared to be hopeful of a
bettering of the present conditions, but
did not appear to apprehend that con
gress would be inclined to rush Into
tny particular scheme of legislation.
He realized that the matter will have
very mature consideration at the hands
of committees and that both senate and
house will discuss the problem fully,
both in committee and on the floor. He
appreciated also the fact that what
ever was done would be done wfth ref
erence to the future, and that it would
be necessary to proceed with great cau
tion in order to avoid the establish
ment of a system that might, under
some circumstances, work more harm
than the system now in vogue.
