The President
I am unalterably opposed to obstructing any new banking and currency plan at this late date. I am confident the great masses of the American people are not willing to have a central bank inaugurated in this country. I commend in strongest terms your fixed determination and untiring zeal in endeavoring to pass financial legislation at this special session. I have every confidence the Senate Committee will revise the oOwen–Glass bill as it passed the House so as to make it a practical workable law. I express sincere and earnest belief the measure be properly amended and passed by Congress and signed by you before December first, next. Country needs it badly; consideration of any new bill now means only procrastination and delay.
