Would Hold Up Bill Until
Idea of Central Bank Is
Disposed Of.
FAVORS, HOWEVER,
SUCH A SYSTEM
Wants TO Be Certain Its Establish
ment Would Not Add to Our
Currency Tangle.
By J. c. WELLIVER.

Because uf his strong leaning toward I
the idea of currency reform with
central bank of issue az it's foundation,
Senator AIdrich does not want postal
savings bank bin passed at this session
of Congress The Rhode Islander who
by common consent is the first Con
EressiOnaI authority on currency topics, /
believes that a properly organized pos
tai bank system would become one of
the great and reliable stays of cen
trial bank, but until something definite
is determined as to the possibility of
getting a central bank measure through,
the Senator feels that il might be q
mistake 10 establish a postal savings
system which later would be found
difficult 20 work over into the form
of an adjunct TO such a bank.
This, on the authority of persons
who have been. in conference with Sen
stor Aldrich about the postal savings
measure, is the explanation of his pres
ent attitude He is said TO be friendly
enough to the postal bank idea, but be-
fore that he favoTs a reform Of the
currency system, he wants TO be certain
that the postal bank establishment will
not add one more 10 the manifold com
piicauons OF the present patchwork
currency scheme of the country, and
Dy that extent increase the difficulty
Of imposing a central bank upon the
present financial "a brio.
Billion Dollar Deposits.
What the postal savings plan would
mean 10 a central bank system does
not need TO ne explained i'm further de-
tail than 10 say that the authorities in
Congress are convinced that inside of
three years the aggregate of postal
bank deposits would reach billion
dollars. With the tremendous potency
Of this wide-exteuded scheme Of gather
Ing in deposits. which of course would
be Ceutered in the central bank, il is
apparent that the new Institution would
Immediately occupy a commanding p0-
sltlon. This does not mean that the
postal bank deposits would be redepOsit-
go IN tne central bank ana mus De
drawn TO the city which might become
It's seat. II does mean, however. that
the central bank would uuquestiouably
have the function Of general eugiueTy
and management of the national fin
ances, and that the conduct of the
postal savings business of the Govern
ment would be one OF these functions

Col George IT. Toruey becomes sur

BALKAN RAILROAD
MAY PREVENT WAR
Austria, 1t Is Said, viii Give
Servia and Montenegre
an Outlet.

BELGRADE, Jan. 1+-hustria will
permit the construction of a Seryiau-
MontenegTiu railway across Bosnia and
Herzegovina to the AdTiatic. according
to a rumOT emauating from the general
foreign office today. The report cauId
not be confirmed, but 1T had the effect
of aIlayiuE the auti-Austrian feeling to
a great extent.
The concession for such "a railway has
been the cherished desire of these COun-
tries since Austria annexed the prov
iucc. and upon it's granting or refusal
by Austria depends the question of
peace i'm the Balkans.
The annexation of these provinces
completely shut off Sorvia and Monte
negro from the world. and made their
final absorption by Austria a matter of
gTavcst fear
If Scryia does not demand too wide
q strfD of land for the proposed railway.
it is believed that Austria will grant
the concession.

PANAMA TO CLASH
WITH WATERWAYS
Advocates of Each, Fighting for a
Bond Issue. Fear Others
Success

Internal waterways and the Panama
canal are fated to sharp collision, If
the proposal TO issue 100000 Of canal
bonds is pressed by the Administration.
The internal waterway people con
slider the scheme calculated 10 put their
project out OF business. The canal is
reaching for the very $4,000 900 they
had wanted, and If it gets it, g0od-by
to all hopes of bond-builded internal
waterways for another decade.
The waterway people are getting
ready to put up sharp exposition TO
the Panama proposal They feel that
the crisis in their movement has come,
and are grieyed that the Administra-
ton has apparently given indoors Heut
TO the scheme of canal bonding on such
a scale as probably to make a general
waterways issue impossible.

Gus shock TO financial relations in the
country. How TO frame legislation
which shall establish such a bank and
yet not ulscOuceTt all existing undIlcldi
relations and organisms Is the problem.
Many men have given up In despair, and
turned 20 tie other currency plans.
Senator Aldrich Is not one of these. lie
believes IL is quite as possible Tor TINS
country TO organize a central financial
institution at the top of Its currency
system as iJ was for Germany 60 do the
same thing To accomplish thlS ne
would consider the greatest work of his
public career and ne has an ambition
10 succeed with this task, and 10 leave
d scientific, solid and simple hndnelai
system to -rCe country as O. monument
10 his service in Congress.
Difficulty Overestimated
The advocates of the present postal
savings legislation believe that senator
AIdrich overestmates the difficulty OF
adapting such a system 10 the clrcum-
stances which would arise with the ere
alton Of a central bank. They do not
believe the complications would be so
serious as TO increase the difficulty OF
bringing about the central bank idea.
Many OF them, indeed, answer senator
AIdrIch on this point by suggesting that
with a billion of dollars In postal de-
Doslts. say three years hence, it would
1e easier to assure that the central
bank would secure the necessary hnan-
cial power TO hold its position and dOmi-
nate the money situation.
The outlook for the postal bank bill
is not bright. Senator Carter has polled
the Senate. and is confident there Is a
majority of probably nine for the bill
with perhaps a few amendments which
some members want, provided II can be-
forced to a vote. But some member
stuI want to talk on it, and there are
difficulties about getting date set 1CI
the vote. Senator Garter will in the
near future ask that a day be set foI
the vote. but he is not very confident
of getting unanimous consent. AT pres
eut there are at least a half dozen mem
bers who would promptly object 20 such
a proposal.
Senator Rayner is going 10 make q
constitutional argument by way OF an
SweriuE the contention that the authOTl-
ZatiOu of such a system may be found
in the general welfare clause of the
Constitution. After that Senator Bailey
wants TO talk on the constitutional Ques-
ton. He doesn't think 10 sound in any
constitutional aspect, while Mr., kayueI
leans TO the notion that the borrowing
mower of the Government probably is
broad enough TO justify the postal bank

hesitatingly declared there was no
reason why it should not; that the

accept the senate measure and stated

themselves free to continue the fight.
The principle Of local option as ap-
piled to a traffic that interfered with
the life, liberty and pursuit of happi-
ness not Of the citizens of one coun-
ty only but Of all adjacent territory
is wrong. He stands as ever for a
Statewide measure and then for a

TO The State.

Special to The State.
Greenville, Aug. Isl. A. McCul-
lough, in an interview tonight, said
concerning a Statewide prohibition
law:
II think it advisable for the State
legislature to pass Statewide pro-
hibition law provided they furnish at
the same time the means for strict
enforcement Of the said law. I will
not attempt to discuss the changes
which will be necessary to carry out
this suggestion in our fundamental
law as we'll as in existing statutes. |
believe that the cause Of prohibition
would be hurt by tbrusting it upon
community that will not enforce it.
believe that system can be de-
vised which would render the enforce
ment Of the law as nearly as may be
effective. and with such system |
would favor a Statewide prohibition
law: without such a system. would
not favor it. I am opposed to a nomi-
nal prohibition law, for the same rea-
son that I oppose a nominal compul-
sorry education law OF a nominal
child labor law. Unless such laws are
made effective by regulations and
means Of enforcement thew lad better
r0i exist
