Virginia Senator Says Proposals To Last Congress Would Have Rocked Banks. Charg^ “Amazing Dishon- ^ esty” To Republicans. Eeny^—^Meeny—Miney—Mo! By Albert T. Reid Washington, Nov. 1.—Senator Glai* of Virginia, tonight said that Presi dent Hoover submitted to the last con gress “inflationary nroposals that would have roctted the foundations of our banking system.” In his first speech of the campaign released by the Democratic national committee in advance of its delivery over the radio, the former secretary of the treasury and second ranV;ing Democrat on the senate banking com mittee, assailed the Hoover adminis tration and urged the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt to the presi dency. , He denied statements of President Hoover and his supporters that eco nomic troubles had their origin in Eu rope, and the Republican assertioh that Democrats impeded administra tion efforts to balance the budget and improve bu.-iness. In addition he said President Hoover is claiming credit fj)r measures that could have been en acted only with Democratic cooper ation. Of the inflationary proposals which he attributed to the president he said that if they had been enacted they would “not only have tempted foreign raids on our gold reserves but would have incited a dangerous domestic de mand for redemption." . “Had these proposals been adopt ed,” he said, “they would have made millions of dollars of foreign securi ties with whi<*h this country was de luged,, by administration connivance a basis for tremendous credit expan sion.” Referring to - President Hoover’s statement that the United States was within two weeks of being driven off the gold standard last winter, he said that if this was true, administration . leaders “were guilty of amazing dis honesty” in failing “so to advise the banks and private investors.” During the period from .lanuary 1 to .June 30, he said the treasury with the presi dent’s approval sold $3,700,4.n0 of tieasury notes and certificates of in debtedness redeemable in gold. The Virginian prefaced his addre.ss V ith a statement that it was “repug nant” to him to deny the a.s.^ertions of the president and his cabinet offi cers, Jjut-^e added: “To speak with suitable restraint, I may say that neither Hans Christian .Ander.'^on nor Karl Grimm, in api>eal- ing to the fancies of children, ever overtaxed his imagination as Presi dent Hoover repeatedly has done in his endeavor to regain the lo.-t favor of the American people, (’ontrasted yvith his speech of acceptance, and his addresses at Des Moines, Cleveland and elsewhere, Aesops’ fables de.^erve to rank as an accurate history of things that acually occurred.” .As.serting President Hoover has converted the treasury at Washington into “a national pawn-shop,” Glass said that while the “expedients” adopted with the intent of improving business were “bad” they are “not as vicious as originally proposed by the administration.” Turning/to President Hoover’s con tention that business collapse was “superinduced by economic convul sions abroad,” the Virginian declared the “reverse” was true.-He said: “I assert that the improvidence, if not the direct profligacy, of incompe tent Republican administrations at W’ashi'ngton is measurably responsi- ' ble for the deplorable situation 'in which we find ourselves today.” The senator, reviewing events lead ing up to the business slump, said jm era of cheap money was started dur ing the Harding' administration and expensive governmental activities ex panded. Without precedent or author ity, he sAid, the state department took upon itself to pass upon loans to for eign nations and later made a “child ish” differentiation between the terms “approved” and “unobjected.” " “Great banking institutions,” he continued^ by “high’j pr^^are” meth ods and with salesnieff “not too scru pulous to invoke the moral obligation thus incurred *by the state department (Continued on page seven) S m Go To Polls Next Tuesday Voters To Settle Hoover-Roose velt Contest.
