Leslie M. Shaw agrees with many of the conclusions drawn in the Currency Commission’s report, although he does not believe that any legislation could be passed. Shaw does not have any more hope of currency legislation being passed after reading the report.

Currency advice

Currency advice

The writer of the article calls into question statements made by Senator Theodore E. Burton made in an address the the American Bankers’ Association. Burton’s statements are generally agreeable, but provide little information on what the Monetary Commission intends to do to reform currency matters. Banks should facilitate the flow of money for commercial use to meet legitimate demands, while preventing inflation. Contraction should be prevented by forcing financiers to comply with regulations.
