Washington, July 3.-Representative
Overstreet, of Indiana, secretary of the

speaking of the measure:
Members Of the senate subcommittee on

would meet their concurrence feel confident
that the bill will be regarded favoraby by the
senate. In my opinion 1t is wise measure anC
will result in improving the financial situation
materially. When its provisions are made pub

meuded by business men generally, for the bill
was not drawn in the interest OF the banker
alone, but for the benefit Of the entire business
