Paul Morton sends his ideas about a recent conversation with President Roosevelt about currency reform. Morton warns that unless currency laws are revised soon the U.S. may undergo a financial crisis. Morton does not think Roosevelt should support a particular reform plan, but does believe that he should insist on the revision. Morton recommends Roosevelt meet with Frank A. Vanderlip, John B. Claflin, and Charles A. Conant.
