Wasiiimotom, Iiec. 10. Secretary Car
lisle appeared before the house com
mittee on banking and currency today
to present in detuil the feat urea of the
new currency p an prooed In hie an
nual report and Indorsed in the presi
dent' message, ltesldc the full mem
bership of the committee Senor Homero,
the Mexican minister, and many mem
ber of congress mere present. Carlisle
took n peach section o his recommen
dations. First To repeal all la requiring or
authorising the depoelt of I'nlled Statea
bond aa security for circulation, and
second, to permit national banks to Issue
notes to an amount not exceeding "i per
cent of their paid-up and unimpaired
capital, bnt to require each bank before
receiving notes to deposit a guarantee
fund consisting of I'nlled States legal
tender note of Ih'.s), to the amount of
30 -r cent Un the circulating notrs
applied tor.
This percentage depend upon the cir
culating note outstanding lo l main
tained at all time, and whenever the
bank retire ita circulation in whole or
In part, l! guarantee fund I to lie re
turned to it In protection to the amount
of note retired.
Carliale said he wae satiefled the pre
sent law requiring the present depoeit
of a bond to eecure circulation prevented
an elasticity of currency. He aid:
"Th proviiion outlined give ample
protection without the depoeit ol bond
aa required by the present law."
Carliel said the practical value of the
reserve fund currency wa shown in IHVK1.
There wa a demand for money, aggre
gating f400,000,000. The treasury did
ita licit to meet the stringency, but by
lb time the Doles were ready to dis
tribute the demand had gone by, and
many of the packages of notes aero re
lumed unpaid.
The pecretary invited criticism on this
particular section.
Chairman Spriugor asked how the
secretary 's plan differed from tho Haiti
ino'e plan.
Carlisle explained the technical differ
ence. The llallimoro plan promised a
dexait of .V) per cent under certain Con
ditione, w bile the treasury plan prowd
a deposit of :U) per cent. When a batik
fail the treasury plan contemplates an
asse-isment on all national banks, they
lu turn having a lien on the failed bank.
Kepresentative Hall, of Missouri, sug
gested there wa a prevailieg opinion it
wa unsafe to place the power of the
currency lu the hands of corporations
and banks.
"It will work automatically," said
Carlisle." The tanks will not expand
the currency tin less the public need It.
Their interest will be to expand and con
tract n common interests demand it.
Thrio interest w ill, therclore, control at
all time."
The secretary further said: "Thi
flexibility waa much more desirable than
rigid system, by which a certain
amount of currency waa outstanding.
At onu time the stringency was no great
the bank dr,ew otil f 13,000,000, under
pressure, and if it had not been for the
Canadian banks, who sent currency In
to this country, serious result might
have ensued."
Controller ol Currency Fikels ap
peared before the committee ami made
an elalxirate statement. Hu contended
the national banking law were not to Imj
lightly dealt with and should not be
altered unless It was absolutely known
the change would be beneficial.
