"Mr. Chairman, why should the currency of these United States be issued
on the strength of German Beer? Why should it be issued on the crop of
unplanted beans to be grown in Chili for Japanese consumption? Why should
these United States be compelled to issue many billions of dollars every
year to pay the debts of one foreigner to another foreigner? "Was it for
this that our National Bank depositors had their money taken out of our
banks and shipped abroad? Was it for this that they had to lose it? Why
should the public credit of these United States and likewise money belonging
to our National Bank depositors be used to support foreign brewers, narcotic
drug vendors, whiskey distillers, wig makes, human hair merchants, Chilean
bean growers, to finance the munition factories of Germany and Soviet Russia.?"
Lois McFadden, 1934
