f I •DOINGS OF THE WEEK Senator Aldrich Seeks to Destroy Control by Wall Street, Washington, I). C. — Ex-Senator Aid- rich, o f Rhode Island, submitted to the national monetary commission, of which he is chairman, a revision of his plan for monetary legislation. The commission may use it as the basis of its recommendations to congress. The basic principles o f the proposed plan are substantially the same as those embodied in Mr. Aldrich’s first proposal, sent to the commission last January, which, he said, he expected would serve as a basis for national discussion. Briefly, the plan still provides for the organization of the National Reserve association, with a capital o f approxi­ mately $300,000,000, in which the United States government and the banks owning shares in the associa­ tion shall be the only depositors. The plan of dividing the United States into 15 financial districts re­ mains unchanged. In each district the banks shall form local associa­ tions, which in turn will be represent­ ed in the branches and finally in the central organization through a system o f elections o f directors, which it is said will make it impossible for any section or set of bankers to control the whole.
