CURRENCY REFORM BLOCKED.
CANNON SAYS THERE SHALL BE NO Financial
LEGISLATION BY THE HOUSE.
ny By Wall Street He DecesCan Enforce HIS Threat
if Elected Speaker Under Present Rules

ern bankers would reduce their call loans ana
bring the speculative interests OF Wall Street
down to a conservative basis. there would be no
occasion for the creation of more money by
legislation The Western banks. he said. have
large reserves in the East. and these reserves
are being used to manipulate the markets
For the moment Mr. Cannons declaration has
stunned those who are working for reform In
the monetary laws and will astound those who
have understood that a modified Aldrich bill
would be enacted There has heretofore been no
difference of opinion among the leading hnan-
ciers of the country TO the necessity OF action
by Congress on this subject President Roose-
Welt and the members of his administration
have emphasized their support Of the movement.
and the result of the Hot Springs conference, at
which Senator AIdrich and his subcommittee
made progress toward general understanding
on the subject was IN complete accord with the
hopes of administration officials
HOT FIGHT IN CONGRESS LIKELY.
The positive attitude of Mr.. Cannon this
subject is regarded by legislators who have been
in close touch with the situation as indication
OF the beginning of vigorous independent
policy on the part OF the House of Representa-
tives. There is said to be question OF Mr.
Cannons election Speaker in the LFIIIth
Congress. His inclination for test Of strength
with the Senate was clearly shown. 1T IS pointed
out by remarks which he made ir the clio ~gi
hours of the last session. when he characterized
the methods of another body as being prac~
tically those OF stand and deliver
If Mr.. Cannon persists in forcing a test OF
strength between the two houses on the subjecs
of financial legislation. it will undoubtedly pre-
cipitate most interesting situation Whether
there are Republican members OF the House
who are so welded to the idea that some relief
should be given to the finances OF the country
that they would rebel against a campaign TO de-
feat the '.AIdrich idea IS Of the factors
which Mr.. Cannon will have to consider. Then
there Is the influence OF the administration.
which, from all indications. will also have to bs
combated by Mr.. Cannon in his no legislation
declaration. With the issue squarely raised sos
far in advance of the actual opening Of HOSTILE
ties and before the House Is organized or the
rules for the Congress adopted, there are
opportunities which astute politicians may seize
to undermine Mr.. Cannon's power IN quarters
where he undoubtedly is now looking for sup
port.
Should the existing rules Of the House be con-
tinued enabling Mr. Cannon to make good his
threat and the deadlock between the two houses
become absolute. il may become necessary to
NAL overtures Mr.. Cannon to frame such
financial legislation he may think proper.
With this concession there might be some in
ducement to the Danville statesman to do bust-
ness to a limited extent.
