Houae win Act ON Currency Bill.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March AT an in
formal conference of members of the House
committee on banking and currency and
influential Republican senators an agree
ment was reached to report a bill to the
House along moderate currency reform
lines and press action as soon as the APP
preparation bills are out of the way The
plan is (and Speaker Reed is said to ac-
quiesce) to give reasonable time for discus
sion of the measure in the House and then
pass it. The champions of sound money in
the Senate can then have chance to dis
cuss the bill, even though they cannot pass
il. The country may have to like the will,
for the deed, but that will not be the fault
of the Republicans.
