1932 which frederick a bradford asso ciate professor of economics pub lished in september he says the present administration's monetary policy merits little in the way of recommendation from any point of view the policy cannot serve to aid the debtor in professor bradford's opinion because it will not be pos sible to maintain commodity prices atjthe level the president desires to attain either they will rise high er or if the supplies of currency and bank credit are cut off a severe reaction will ensue professor bradford says that the present monetary policy has left the country in a position
