HOUSE COMMITTEE
KILLS ALDR|CH BILL
Financial Measure Approved by the
Senate Laid on Table by Vote
Of Congressman.
The vreeIand Plan VIII Next be Con.
sidered, the Fate OF the Measure
Being Problematical, But II
Has a Chance Of Being
Approved.

Washington-The house committee
on banking and currency on Friday
voted unanimously to table the AID.
rich financial bill. 1t also decided to
give hearing to Representative
Vreeland Of New York, who recently
introduced a financial bill which is
looked upon as a substitute for the
Aldrich measure.
The discussion In committee was
very brief. The only point debated
was as to whether or not the commit.
tee should make a formal report CIV
ing its reasons to the house for its
unfavorable action and the conclusion
finally was reached that no reasons
should be given.
The tabling of the Aldrich bill will
result in currency legislation being
perfected by the conferees Of the two
branches of congress II the house car
ries out the probable programme OF
now passing the Vreeland bill. In
that event the house measure would
come to the senate after all, the en-
acting clause would be struck out and
the provisions of the Aldrich bill sub
stituted. The effect would be to put
both the Vreeland and Aldrich bills
into the conference, and from them
currency bill could be probably agreed
upon.
The Vreeland bill is not hostile Ia
character to the form of legislation
provided by the bill which was passed
by the senate, and therefore the ac-
ton of the house committee on bank
ing and currency, in the event Its
course is followed by a favorable re-
port on the Vreeland bill as a subst-
tute, does not indicate that there will
be no currency legislation at this ses-
sion of congress, as the house prob
ably will pass that measure.
Representative Vreeland in draft
ing mis- bill made provision for the use
of commercial paper and all other So
curities held by national banks under
the national bank act, as an additional
class of security upon which em"r~
gency circulation may be issued. He
eliminated certain amendments which
were tackled on the Aldrich bill while
It was under consideration in the SEN
ate, including the provision by SEN
ator La Toilette prohibiting the loan
ing of money by any bank to cor.
poration the officers or directors OF
which are officers or directors of the
corporation seeking the loan.
