HOUSE TO SEE ROOSEVELT
WASHINGTON, November z3.-Fre-
s'dCnt Roosevelt and William j. Bryan
were in conference for half an hour In
The president private office at the
White House today
Il was not invited TO CALI MI Bryan
said on leaving, "but I called upon the
telephone and asked when the pres dent
would receive CATERS and on being in
formed, came simply to pay my res
poets to the president"
Mr. Bryan was not willing to discuss
tho details o. his interview but was
free to add details to the financial plan
which he proposed a few days ago. In
reviewing every measure of relief
which had come to his notice, Mr.
Bryan said that nothing seemed 40 be
intended to meet the situation as eff
fectively and at the same time as sim
ply as the plan he had suggested. This
plan, he said, was simply to have the
government insure depositors in ma
tional banks against loss by reason Of
the failure of the banks.
1T was not intended" he said, ito
have the government to collect a fund
for this purpose, to be kept on hand.
Whenever a national bank would be re-
CURED to pay its depositors it would
be the duty Of the government to make
an assessment on all national hanks to
meet the amount of loss by reason of
the failure. This assessment, Mr.. Bryan
said would be infinite small
Opposition to this plan Mr.. Bryan
conceded might be made by state banks
who would be left out of the plan. The
an"wer to this he said, was that the
state should Individually take up the
| same scheme and stand as a guarantor
| against loss to depositors in state
/ banks.
Mr.. Bryan said as yet no plan had
been made to have his relief measure
/ presented in Congress. However, he
/ felt very enthusiastic over the prospect
of its ultimate success. Being asked
as to his position on the tariff he said
it was evident nothing could be hoped
for in the way Of tariff revision during
this, a republican congress.
Il am in favor of removing the tariff
on news print paper and wood pulp
and articles controlled by the trust,
Just as l am in favor Of removing the
tariff on all other trust-controlled ar
/ ti2les,' he added
Mr.. Bryan remarked that he had
had a very pleasant chat with the pre-
siIe2t.
